Jolanda’s Cafe & Catering

I finally went to Jolanda’s for Breakfast with my Granddaughter and we both had breakfast
that delicious Croissant with eggs. All I can say is that is was great.

Couldn’t they have given me a better piece of lettuce on my tuna sandwich seriously what a rip off. No worth going to this place. Over priced.

First visit ever, walked in around 9:30 on a Saturday morning… not super busy at all. Were told to seat ourselves so we did, grabbed ourselves some menus too.
We were greeted nicely by who looked like the only person servicing the dining room. We quickly decided what we wanted and ordered.
Hubby went with the chili cheese omelet and coffee. I got us the french toast (croissant style) to share and a corned beef hash with eggs over medium.
Our favorite points of Jolanda’s:
Soft butter on table (we taste-​tested Darigold vs. Rockview, RV won)
Nice sized portions
It’s breakfast comfort food
French toast was really good
Croissants we got with our restaurant was good but not as flaky and buttery as traditional versions. Imagine a croissant having a baby with a dinner roll… Only wish they had better jam than Smuckers to pair with them.
Fried potato/​hash browns OMG
Hubby’s coffee never went empty.
The plentiful chili was average. The corned beef hash came from a can (which I do like) but I mention it so you don’t expect the house-​made type of corned beef hash. My over medium eggs were made almost perfectly.
The dining ambiance could have been a tiny bit less spartan/​outdated but it’s breakfast and if you’re bleary-​eyed from partying too much the night before, it won’t matter much.
Great breakfast joint.

Based on a recommendation from a client, I took my Covington Breakfast Club seniors here for today. We go to a lot of different places so we know of what we speak!
The restaurant was definitely a hole in the wall, but neat and clean. The server was accommodating, friendly and very helpful. She allowed for separate checks which is HUGE for a large group.
The food was wonderful. All I heard was how yummy everything was, from the loaded blueberry pancakes to the Calico and Metro. We even got treated to a special ice cream dessert at the end of the meal! I mean, who DOESN’T want ice cream at breakfast!
This restaurant is DEFINITELY on our list of must do again restaurants!

I’ve worked close by this place for 4 years now and finally tried it for lunch. Seems to be favorite of the senior set, as seen by the customers coming & going. I had the BLT on their freshly made croissant and it was so good! Yum! It’s a little on the expensive side 8.29 for a small strip mall café but but it was good sized & high quality.

I have been coming here for years, and love the service and food. My go to is the Frittatas and the huge croissants. The service is always great and always willing to go the extra mile.
Jolandas caterers to the young and old. I can always see a diverse group of customers although you can expect to see more mature individuals on the weekday mornings. And my son always loves chatting them up when I bring him.

Just stopped in for some filled croissants, the first time we’ve ever gotten these. They had blueberry cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, and chocolate left. I bought the three they had left plus two plain croissants and the total was just over $ 12! These croissants are huge. This is such a great deal.
Being the Unilocal reviewer that I am, I decided to try a portion of every kind of croissant. You’re welcome. Each one was a perfect example of that kind of croissant. After my family of five (two adults and three kids including one toddler) ate their fill, there was still an equivalent of two croissants left.
These may replace our Saturday morning donut trips. If you’re tired of the same old thing every morning, you can’t go wrong with Jolanda’s croissants.
I should also note that we ate here for breakfast a couple of years ago, and I remember it being a positive experience. But we have three small children and going out to eat for breakfast is a rare occurrence. Next time we have the opportunity, we will be visiting Jolanda’s again.

Great food, small family owned restaurant with French flair. Their croissants are to die for

I’ve been here twice recently, once for brunch on a Saturday and once for lunch on a weekday. On our first visit, I got the all american breakfast, the wife tried the rueben, my kids got chocolate chip pancakes and we all shared some biscuits & gravy. The biscuits had excellent texture but the gravy needed some major salt and needed to be warmed up. I think I’ll pass on that in the future. Everything else was very good but they ran out of croissants by noon on Saturday, so be aware of that as it is a common occurrence according to our waitress. On my second trip, I tried a turkey sandwich on croissant with a cup of split pea soup. The croissant is really good and the soup was decent but not worth the extra $ 4 for a tiny cup.
The service is friendly but pretty slow. The pricing is pretty decent and you really get your bang for your buck on breakfast items! We also had a coupon in the mailer for 20% off with the purchase of 2 drinks so that was pretty cool. I will definitely come back.

Excellent hole in the wall restaurant. I was hungry for breakfast and parked in front of Smart & Final to do some grocery shopping. I saw this place and decided to look it up on Unilocal.I saw the 50 – 4 star ratings and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Denver omelet and was very pleased with what came out.
The omelet was fluffy and moist, the veggies were fresh and sautéed perfectly. The flavor and texture was excellent.
In the current economy, restaurants are buying cheaper ingredients, holding them longer… and have poor kitchen execution. This restaurant does not fit into this category. They have stepped above its competition to separate itself with a standard of quality and excellence. I look forward to my returning here to try something else.
…and the waitress was very friendly and efficient, too.

Best Denver omelette I’ve had in my life. I will prolly be making this my main breakfast place mon wed and fri. It’s that good! Compliments to the chef that was cooking at 730am Friday morning!

Last year I ordered croissants for Thanksgiving l! Everyone takes home a few and makes delicious sandwiches with the turkey leftovers!!! They are the best croissants!

Really good breakfast!
Blueberry pancakes made with whole blueberries were great.

First visit here. Had the avocado/​tomato omelette. 5 stars for that alone. Great coffee and I prefer mom and pop cafes and this is definitely that.
I joined a group of three retirees who eat here often. The waitress knew them and service was great.
Will be bringing the wife back!

Horrible service! Do not waste your time or money here. The service is awful, very disconnected and appear miserable to be there. I cannot comment on the food because our waitress never put our order in. After waiting for 40 minutes we had to go to the front to gain the waitress’ attention to ask when our food would be ready. Her response was cold, «well where are you sitting?» They only have 10 tables in the whole place, really? No apology, nothing. We immediately left and went to Snooty Fox Café which has never been a disappointment.

The décor is very old. Does give a homey mama and papa’s feeling. Lots of French paintings.
I came here for breakfast on a Sunday, no wait. They serve food like a typical diner/​café. Some of the stuff are okay, not exactly fresh and amazing. I will probably categorize this place like a Mimi’s Café or Denny’s (but maybe a little less heavy and greasy then Denny’s).
With a French influence, you can choose a croissant as a bread option. The croissant is a little dense in the center. So it’s not the best one, it could be flakier and fluffier.
If you’re looking for casual and cheap, no wait. This is the restaurant for you.

Pros: Great portions. Loved the french toast! Friendly and attentive staff! Try it out!

Review for Catering Service:
My son was married this month and we used Jolanda’s catering. We offered a choice Sirloin Steak, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Shrimp Scampi to over 150 people. The package came with hors d’oeuvres (to die for!), a fabulous salad and the food was delicious. Jolanda provided the table cloths, napkins and glassware (the place settings were provided by the venue). Jolanda was very flexible and very available for the discussions about the menu. Her staff were efficient and friendly and we were extremely pleased with the price. Our guests had loads of compliments about the quality of the food.
Thank you, Jolanda, for helping to make a special occasion VERY special!

Today was the second time I have had breakfast at Jolanda’s. Okay, for full disclosure, I should offer that yesterday was the first. This place is not fancy or sophisticated; rather, I found it to be comfortable and relaxing. Seems to be more of a local’s place, and I plan to become a regular. I live very close, but would be willing to drive a few miles to come here if I didn’t. We got a table without waiting yesterday, but they were very busy when we arrived and the service was a bit on the slow side. There was just one server, who was sufficiently — but not overly — pleasant. By this, I mean she was genuine. Observing interactions with other customers, I realized that she has relationships with the regulars and she was much more outgoing with them.
Yesterday, Mom sampled the bacon and eggs. She opted for the one including the breakfast potatoes and chose a croissant as her bread. The portions were ample. The presentation was nice and she enjoyed it; had to take most of the croissant home as it was a giant.
I went for the buttermilk pancakes. There were 3 very large pancakes in an order; I may inquire about a single pancake next time. The coffee was excellent and they were good about keeping it coming.
Today, Mom and my husband ordered specials. Mom went for the eggs benedict, which comes with breakfast potatoes. She liked her breakfast, but Jolanda’s puts a bit of a twist and uses béarnaise sauce instead of hollandaise and Mom mentioned that she missed the hollandaise taste. My husband chose the biscuits and gravy. He was especially hungry this morning and concerned that the serving size might not be sufficient, but Jolanda’s did not disappoint; the portion was generous and tasty, with diced sausage included in the gravy. He really likes sausage and is sometimes concerned that his cholesterol medication is working too well, so next time might add a side order of sausage.
Today’s breakfast for me was just the croissant. They are delicious and as I mentioned earlier, they are colossal. They also offer filled croissants; I noted fruit or with ham and cheese.
You can call in an order and pick it up. Also, they have seating outside that is covered and it appears that pets are welcome out there, so this would be a cool place to walk my dog… oh, I don’t have a dog. Well, I can visit other people’s dogs out there then.
Next review will include an update to discuss my findings when I make it there for lunch.

Been coming here for about 2 years. … breakfast is amazing, always fresh and their potatoes are really good. … for your side of bread you must order the croissant.
