We walked in here expecting nothing more than diner food, and we're pleasantly surprised. The eggs were incredible. The hash browns were unique but delicious. A coffee was arguably pretty bad that day but forgivable. It was cool to see a bunch of stuff about Jackie being a renowned chef in Chicago. Not to mention some homemade toppings for toast like a blueberry spread and a lemon that were out of this world. Which explains why the very simple omelettes were elevated in class.
I felt as if i was eating in Jackie’s home. Absolutely amazing food and it was brought to our table the chef herself. You can feel the love she has for cooking as soon as you walk into the restaurant. We had the crepes, and two different versions of the Egg Benedict. After breakfast we headed to the back of the restaurant and got some delicious treats from the bakery. Jackie placed them in a Togo box for us explaining what each treat was. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for food made with love. If you want to order the chocolate bag you see on her website you must do it thru catering it is not offered in the bakery. Definitely going to order one for my next birthday!
This has all the makings of a place you'd like to tell your friends, "Oh, if you go through New Buffalo you gotta stop at Jackie's Cafe". The prices were good, the atmosphere inside is fresh with no 'funny' odors, the staff is welcoming, and the food is, well, we were hopeful. The food was just OK. It looked good, sounded good, but it lacked that special taste a chef-based cafe should have. We even tried the attached bakery shop behind the cafe and had the same experience. My wife has far better recipes at home.
