I came to Jamie's Cafe for Sunday brunch around lunchtime, and it was kind of busy, but the wait was not too long, about 15 to 20 minutes. The service was really fast, and the workers were friendly. They have really big portion sizes. I got the steak with eggs and a biscuit, and it was delicious. I even had enough left over to take home. It is also a pretty big space, which made it feel less crowded. read more

We tried this cute cafe across the street from the Apple building. Jamie's cafe is pretty standard American fare. The mason jar mimosas were cute but not special. I ordered the pastrami sandwich which was good but not excellent. It also had a lot of vegetables which made it more of a BLT or club. The fries that it came with were interesting. Steak fries but way thinner. Good crispy surface area. We also ordered a standard plate with sausage and biscuits and gravy. Again, basic, but not amazing. While named Granny's Biscuits, it was giving more Denny's. We were also hoping for hashbrowns, which they didn't have. We settled for the tater tots instead. They heavily advertised their chai latte, which was very mediocre. The service was great. Very sweet waitress and capable host! read more

Service was amazing and ambiance was nice, if this wasn't a food establishment I would give it 5 stars so it hurts me to make a 1 star review. The food is not worth the price. I took a family member here and I had to apologize for removing them from their morning cereal for the avocado toast. I wish I took a picture, but the avocado spread looked exactly like the one that is available in Costco and the bread also looks like it's from costco as well. It's not special in anyway and pretty bland. When I'm not in the mood to chop up an avocado, I do use this spread at home, but I also season it up-this was not seasoned. I had the hot biscuit honey thing on the special menu. The gravy and biscuit were cold, no spice whatsoever, and the steak also felt microwaved. It very well might have been because after we ordered, the food was out in 10 min. We were surprised by the high reviews. I'm surprised hearing good reviews from people I know-but then I remember those people don't use salt in their cooking either. Maybe Jamie's Cafe is meant for those who have dietary restrictions, and if that's case, I'm sorry, but for someone who can still have salt, spice, and seasonings-it's not good. read more

I've been going to Jamie's Cafe for a while now, and it's one of those easy go-to breakfast spots that just always hits. I usually get the keto breakfast burrito with a side of cottage cheese, and it's so good. It has that hearty, filling feel without being too heavy, which is exactly what I want in the morning. Service has always been great every time I've gone, friendly, attentive, and just overall consistent. One of my favorite things in Summer is when they have the classic car shows in the parking lot. My dad is part of the car show scene, so I've been going to those since I was a little kid, and it just brings back that nostalgic feeling every time. Sitting there eating breakfast and seeing all the cars lined up just makes it feel like more than just a meal. Helpful tip: If you can, go on a day when the car shows are happening. It adds such a fun, nostalgic vibe to the whole experience. It's one of those spots where the food is solid, the service is always good, and the little extras are what make you keep coming back. read more

I got to try this place thru door dash. I through the breakfast burrito was delicious. With the salsa, made it top tier! I wish I could have gotten more salsa. The breakfast burrito was filled with sausage, eggs, cheese, etc and it was a good mix and ended up being very filling. I would say the country potatoes were just all right. I wills like to try this place in person, and order more things to try. read more

Decided last minute to have brunch here the day after Christmas. We were shocked how packed this restaurant was but they were truly accommodating. We had a twenty minute wait which we thought really??? but it happened as we got seated in 20 minutes! Nice! Catherine was our waitress & was fast & efficient. She was even requested by another table on the other side of the restaurant. I thought oh no we won't get our entrees & was I ever so wrong. These employees work well as a team as our food appeared rather quickly. My buttermilk pancakes were excellent & so fluffy & tasty! My poor wife's mouth was watering big time watching me scarfed down my pancakes! Heehee!!! This restaurant was very casual yet clean. As many people they got inside the restaurant that day we were truly amazed. We were very happy to see this family owned business doing super well. Too bad they don't open later in the day. They pretty much close by 2 PM. When the weather gets warmer they do have outdoors seating. Many people do order food to go as my wife had in the past. Jamie's is definitely your neighborhood restaurant & you can be sure we will return!!! read more

Met friends for brunch here. Service was excellent. Got the meat omelet with tater tots and a biscuit. Nice sized omelet with plenty of filling. Loved the soft, warm biscuit. The only minus was its kind of a noisy place, just one big open room. But otherwise, I will likely return. read more

This cafe should be rated #1 for excellent customer service. Warm welcome as you enter, wait time for party of two under 10 minutes. While waiting to be seated, and it being my first time dining here, my eyes began scouting the spacious dining area filled with happy customers. It was an arctic Saturday morning and I was desperately wanting a hot beverage. Our table server "Tina" was exceptional! She greeted us with a genuine smile, positive energy, patient, and very helpful with menu choices. Combine this with the warm welcome and you get #1 excellent customer service! Order up... I had 'mom's French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon...yummy. Wait. My food was lukewarm. I'm one who likes my food hot. The French toast could have been fluffy instead it was on the soggy side giving the bread pudding texture once the syrup was added. But it had delicious flavor. I also ordered from their "seasonal Sip' menu the Mocha White Mocha. Sadly it was tepid. Once I mixed in the whipped topping it instantly went cold. It tasted great so I took it to-go. I'm definitely coming back. Can't wait to try the char-broiled salmon filet, Cobb salad and more. read more

As soon as we walked in to this busy place we got a greeting. A large airy place with lots of windows letting in lots of light, very comfortable & welcoming atmosphere. Two of us ordered the salmon avocado toast on wheat bread & it was very nicely prepared, very delicious. The greek salad & 1/2 beef sandwich was a real hit with my friend's order. A new favorite place I plan to visit again when I'm back in Elk Grove. read more

Jamie's Cafe is a cute little modern diner in Elk Grove near I-5 serving all types of comfort food and is popular by demand for a reason. I can only imagine the weekends when they serve their Eggs Benedict! Yes, this is sadly only a weekend special. That's okay because we ended up getting their Fried French Toast and Dad's Mash up which were just as tasty. The smell and taste of their Deep Fried Strawberry French Toast was reminiscent of a funnel cake. I was afraid this might be on the heavier and oilier side after eating. Not at all! The fry was light and crisp, bread nice and thick, whipped cream and strawberry sauce topped with powdered sugar were obligatory to complete this incredible breakfast dessert. However, I wouldn't say it was overly sweet which was nice! This was also served with a side of 2 bacon strips and eggs. Dad's Mash Up was good but I think it could've been great if it had more prominent bacon pieces within the mix instead of sausage. Personal preference... I would describe this best as a fully loaded biscuits and gravy. Soft pillowy biscuits below smothered with cut up sausage, peppers, ham, tots, scrambled eggs, and thick luscious gravy. Extremely filling. Glad I tried it but would like to get something different next time. Brunch + comfort food are two of my top fav's. I can confidently say Jamie's Cafe left me satisfied and full. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend! read more

I think I'm officially biased. I really enjoy Jamie's every time. And they aren't perfect. But close. They were busy - per usual. We were motioned to sit down. Another few tables came in behind us. And then - a couple seated after us was offered menus and waters before us... just as I was going to say something about being skipped over our beautiful server arrived and the rest of our meal was great! Pastrami sandwich and breakfast mulitas. The chorizo on the mulitas was so good - they were hard to eat but I just went ahead and made a mess of my plate. I love that there are so many food options all the time. The specials really are special and the service is truly kind and attentive. Just be patient if they are super busy. It's worth the wait. read more

Came here just after 100pm party of 6. No problem being seated but service stopped after that. I had to get up and get Menus. Server finally came she was very nice but No apologies just took our drink order did not bring Set ups. I ordered a 16.95 spinach Salad with all the fixings Which for that price I felt should be plentiful. Protein was extra 5.00 but I passed. Others at the table ordered hearty food. The portions were huge. Everyone liked what they ordered said good flavor and were pleased except the sunny side up eggs whites were crusty. I got my bowl of spinach with no bacon which was listed as an ingredient and very little feta, onion and mushrooms. The egg was sliced fine so that was what you saw. I did not want it remade but I advised our server when she checked back with us which was when we were near done. She offered to bring me bacon I declined since I was finishing up. She was apologetic and adjusted the price. I appreciate that but would rather have a good meal. So go here and order meat and potato dishes and you will be happy. I won't be returning. Our server was personable that was nice but was absent. read more

Came here for brunch on a weekend. It was pretty busy but we were seated within 30 minutes. Got the ham benedict with tater tots and the country fried steak with potatoes. The waitress asked if we wanted bell peppers and onions but failed to mention it costed $1 more for each. They also gave very little for the $2 upcharge. Less than a teaspoon full of each. The hollandaise sauce was a very strange texture. It was a bit grainy and very thick. And had a very strong aftertaste that made it hard to eat. The rest of the food and drink were ok. read more

This cafe is a popular place in the area that sits near the highway. We had not made reservations so we expected a bit of a wait since the place was full. We were given a wait time of 10 minutes which turned out to be accurate. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I ordered the Jamie's Breakfast Hash with the eggs scrambled soft and a little runny. The waitress brought the food and asked if the eggs were cooked as desired, which I thought was so thoughtful. The breakfast burrito was pretty decently sized. Overall, great spot. read more

My new favorite place! Popular place brunch in Elk Grove and can get very crowded if you don't go early enough. My favorite is dad's mash up, with the biscuits, gravy, and eggs. Every bite is yummy goodness! Lots of tables and spaced around so it doesn't feel like you're crowded. Would recommend checking this place out. read more

Here for Elk Grove Restaurant week! Great little neighborhood gem...serving quality breakfast and lunch. Their biscuits are good, too.

Stopped here for breakfast on our road trip west. We were seated immediately. Then the place filled up rather quickly. We only saw one waitress and she was busy. I ordered Mom's French toast that came with eggs and bacon. It was good the French toast was kinda cold in the middle but the flavor was good. Hubby had the breakfast burrito with home fries. He liked it! read more

We had a great breakfast experience at Jamie's Cafe in Elk Grove, California. The atmosphere was welcoming and spacious with plenty of seating. The staff was attentive and checked regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the Avocado Toast, 2 egg breakfast, kids meal pancake and the Deep-Fried Strawberry French Toast Special. The deep-fried strawberry French toast, in particular, stood out with its perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. read more

Jamie's cafe is our family's go to for brunch whether we are dining in or ordering to go. the ambience is a mix of intimate and lively depending if there is a crowd, so it great for groups, families, couples, or individuals. They are always playing the best throwback hip hop or r&b music Service is always great and waiters are very attentive. Jamies has the best biscuit & gravy around in my opinion. I typically get the egg chorizo breakfast burrito or omelet, but if they have the T-bone steak and eggs I would consider getting that with biscuits and gravy its chefs kiss! My husband got the dads mash up and its basically an everything omelette, including a biscuit on the bottom dowsed in gravy. I ate more of his food than mine it was amazing! The serving portions are also huge so you'll more than likely always have extra to take home for breakfast the next day. read more

My family goes here a lot and like the choices they have. Super cute old diner vibes. The French toast was good and the side sausages were super yummy! We also got the burrito and it was pretty big, I was surprised! The latte was good, didn't love that it was in a plastic mug though since it was hot. Parking here is great, nice big lot!

Jamie's Cafe - ""Mom's French Toast" and latte - Cafes Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I agree with many of the recent reviews. Easy parking, decent service - definitely if you speak up then someone I'll come help you with getting boxes for example. Closed mouths don't get fed. Many dishes were in the $17-18 range which was probably my only issue. But hey, this year has been horrific for jobs and inflation. Nice place for a date after the first date. We got the omelette steak biscuit potatoes, and the 5 French toast with scrambled egg plus sausage. It was all good! I was surprised how good the biscuit was with the butter/margarine. The iced water was on point too. Looks like huckleberry's has some competition :) read more

We tried out Jamie's Cafe since it's been on my bookmark list a while now for Elk Grove. We ordered - 1 Croissant Bfast Sandwich 1 Avocado Toast 2 Iced White Mochas I will say that the customer service provided was very attentive and kind. No issues with staff or seating areas inside. I withheld one star for this review because the food itself is soooo bland. Everything above was just bare basic, no fluff, no extra, no flavor. Basic cheese Basic Bread Basic Flavors Otherwise, great service. Thanks for reading! read more

Overall the service was good, the staff seemed nice and attentive. The food was good, but did not seem freshly made. I have no complaints about the flavor of most of the food we had, but to charge $11 for three pancakes on the side that were clearly not fresh..more likely pre frozen and tasted like dough..No. read more

I wish I took a photo of all our dishes but we were so hungry. The French toast was amazing and perfect to share as it is HUGE. Can divide it easily among 3-4 people for a sweet tooth satisfaction. We also ordered the keto burrito and the avocado salmon toast. Keto burrito looked good to share for two people, and I would say the avocado salmon toast looked to be on the smaller side to share but perfect for one and very filling. Everything tasted amazing, and we love supporting our mom and pop businesses. Alyssa is so sweet as our server and has a contagious smile. She made sure our needs were met, and it was a pleasure meeting her. Great customer service! And food well worth it with the portion sizes. Can't wait to try the lunch options. read more

I want to love this place because everything LOOKS so good... but just doesn't TASTE great. Salmon Benedict- looked amazing! But way too much sauce and killed the rest of the meal. Side of potatoes- yummy but +$1 for 1/2 a handful of chopped onions & +$1 for half a handful of chopped bell peppers. Steak sandwich- came out looking kinda sad and tasted sad too Side Caesar- this was the biggest disappointment because it tasted awful. The lettuce was super bitter. I think the full size is like $16 and if I had gotten a full size I definitely would've sent it back. Tater tots - the only thing I would give 10/10. If I could come here and just be satisfied eating a large order of tater tots, I would. My friend got the strawberry French toast here the first time, and she said the batter was too heavy. She kept the faith the 2nd time and ordered the regular French toast and said it was good. Hope springs eternal so when she came back with her daughter, she said her French toast was fine but her daughter's had too much cinnamon? So, you just take your chances!! Service- very friendly but slow. Not a big deal if you're brunching and not in a rush. They were dealing with a bee in the back both times I was there so I hope they resolved that. Bottom line: The tater tots + the hope of ordering the right thing here would be the only things to bring me back. I'm cautiously optimistic. read more

Very good food and friendly staff. The place was very busy on Sunday morning and worth the early arrival by our son.

Elk Grove is really lucky to have a delicious diner experience right in our small town. Jamie's Café is full of delicious breakfast options, lots of hot fresh coffee, and very pleasant service to boot. I can highly recommend all of the omelettes, the biscuits and gravy, and all of the breakfast meats, including their thick link sausage. It's delicious! Pancakes, French toast, fresh fruit, and more variety of breakfast specials that you can shake a stick at. Their breakfast burrito is fantastic! So happy we have them here in town, and don't have to make a long drive. Definitely give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more
