    Crab Spinach Mushroom Frittata with a side of home fries
    Lauren G.

    Arrived 10 minutes before they opened on Saturday, while reading the menu on their porch, staff member welcomed us in early and got us comfortable with a cup of coffee while they finished opening up for the day. The food was absolutely excellent!!! I got the frittata special - crab spinach and mushroom, with a side of home fires. Absolutely recommend! Super cute cafe!

    The restaurant

    A pace to come for breakfast. It is a Quant small restaurant in a neighborhood. I ordered the quiche. I was looking for a nice slice of quiche instead what I got was something that looked like a slice of pizza. It was very thin. I liked at the table across from me, and their poached eggs looked terrific. They only have regular coffee in small cups. They have free refills. They had some other interesting breakfast choices. I would come back to try them.

    Egg & Cheese with bacon and sausage Sandwich on rye

    There are just so many things to like about this place. It's in an area that is untouched by the encroachment of the "newness movement" engulfing Wilmington. The place itself is in a small house and they've painted the interior and exterior i bright, fun colors. The staff are always pleasant and smiling. I just always feel at ease as soon as I walk in. To top it off, the food is sensational!!! Their Benedict's are the best in the area! Go eat there! You'll enjoy it. Oh! And they have a free little library out front! Books and breakfast! Yes, please.

    Le Monsieur with tomato Soup
    Li P.

    Stopped by during a time period after lunch. I was drawn in by the quaint coziness. Was not surprised by the simple menu and ended up with tomato soup and Le Monsieur. It satisfied my hunger, nothing more. The waiter was pleasant and the decor was welcoming. The food arrived fast but was a bit dissatisfied that the soup was lukewarm.

    Mimosas please? Yes, thank you. Our waiter recommended a peach infused mimosa and we were not disappointed, it was the right amount of sweet. I had the Strata which was a breakfast casserole and some bacon on the side. My boyfriend had the french toast casserole with bluberries. He had an egg and sausage patties on the side also. The bread was super moist, it was delicious with the syrup and you can't beat fresh berries over anything. There was only about four berries though, a couple more would have made it just perfect. The sausages weren't my personal favorite (little too greasy for me) he enjoyed them! The service was great, really tasty food and all around wonderful time.

    BLAT w/ side salad
    Dee M.

    We happened upon Jester's Cafe looking for brunch in the down town area to meet family and friends at. We had no idea what we were walking into but had absolutely no regrets. We had a table of 8 that included 2 small kids, they took a moment to put tables together and sat us comfortably. The restaurant was a house and it was remodeled but they still left the old house charm. I was pretty obsessed with the inside. I ordered the B.L.A.T. with a side salad and ate every bite. The BLAT had a special sauce that made it perfect. My fiancé had the country Benedict and house fries, he also loved it! My sister had the French toast casserole and thought it was perfect. Overall everyone had a great meal and we all would return! I recommend!

    Quiche of the day

    I've been meaning to make it to Jester's for a while and finally went with a few friends this weekend. We were seated quickly and loved the atmosphere (it's an old house with tables scattered throughout). Everything we ordered was fantastic. I believe the strata was the collective winner, but my husband enjoyed his quiche and my friends liked la madame (though one recommended getting le monsieur instead as he didn't think the egg added anything). Service was a little off - ordered OJ and received peach juice, given a check to sign with no pens, etc. However this will not deter us from returning. Excellent reasonably priced breakfast option.

    This place has been on my list for almost a year and it now has my little Italian heart…read more My daughter and I walked in around 1pm on a weekday, tried to wait until the lunch rush was over. It's spring break and azalea fest...so that worked out perfectly. We were greeted at the counter and the nice young gentleman asked if my daughter could have a cookie. Sure! Giant chocolate chips, so good. I ordered and they even offered me a coffee while I waited. I chose the Haley on a long roll. Nice crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, turkey, arugula and balsamic. Honestly, haven't had a hoagie that good in years. We also had their pasta salad, equally delicious. Plenty of seating inside, with a lot of cool photos on the walls. It felt just like being home. Can't wait to go back!

    The food here is less than what you would expect at a gas station, or even a public cafeteria. The…read more"Florence" was so dry. Why do they bother to list out ingredients when you cant even see them? all i saw picking it apart was the cheese. its oddly tasteless too. Clearly very poor quality produce used, any toddler could create a better sandwich id bet, if they cared not to pick out the cheapest poisons to consume. Egg sandwich sucked too. Flavorless mediocre antipasto salad. Desserts are so mediocre aswell. They stole the carrot cake I ordered. pound cake dry and flavorless. Trashy lays chips lazily thrown on as a side to everything. The "capri", the first thing im able to taste yet, the beef has a taste of raw tuna. Disgusting. Went into the trash. Along with all the money ive spent at this dumpster. The long rollon it has slightly better flavor than round roll, but is tough. Everywhere in wilmington ive been has been slightly less than mediocore, Mediocre ingredients everywhere, preperation doesnt matter at this point. even the "nicer" restuarants here. But this is just so so much worse. and oh the prices, the prices compelled me to write the review. Terrible service, I accidentally grabbed the wrong sandwich due to the terrible squeal the chef lets out. When I did, I was on the brink of getting splashed in a wave of diarrhea and urine, with how far the seams of his diaper had stretched. I guess he knows how much a customer can be peed on with the "food" they serve, and the seemingly good reviews they brag about getting in return.
