A great neighborhood cafe with a good straightforward menu. Usually not too crowded, it’s a nice place to meet a friend and catch up.

A wonderful place. The staff is Pleasant. The food is top-notch! The only part is if youre riding your bike be prepared to lock up to a street sign or something. There isnt anybike parking. But the owner of the shop told me that they are trying to change that. Well worth checking out.

The almond croissant covered the whole plate. I was more worried my espresso wasnt going to be enough, but it was the perfect balance to start my morning. Jays is always not hurried, comfortable with music playing below the talking level that I can come in and even work in my laptop from time to time, and even a great place to have brief meeting conversations. The service is attentive to and tableside when an order takes time to prepare. I just love this place.

The paninis are not really paninis as much as they are melts on sliced sourdough/whole wheat typed bread (despite the description of the roast beef panini mentioning focaccia). If they were priced according to their quality and size, they would cost $6.50. I will not return for their sandwiches.

Jays coffee is very relaxing environment. Helpful and pleasant staff! Nice selection of pastries and goodies. Strong local feel. As I write this, two strangers just started a meaningful conversation; this is a place for community.

Paninis are great and coffee as well. Dont waste your calories on their croissants as the are more like somewhere between scones and bread.

Best selection of tasty pastries and scones! They go fast, you have to get there early. And their banana bread is amazing.

I like this place, its nice and cozy. They make really good sandwiches & they sell these bagged bagel chip things up at the counter that are so good on salads.

Friendly service and fair prices in a bright, airy space with a not-over-the-top country vibe. Free wifi, limited selection of nice pastries. Happy to have found this place.

Cindy and Melinda are just as sweet as can be. I didnt even know that I was in the mood for a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, but as soon as I saw it on the menu... I knew it was fate. Absolutely coming back!

Tasty sandwiches and salads. Katys country salad, Chinese chicken salad, chopped salad, roast beef panini and caprese panini are our favorites. And when you order to go, your food is acorably package with a pretty ribbon.

Pear scone is just a shell of its old glory. The recipe didnt transition well with the new owners. Too dense.
