Will not go back

by Daisylady

I have given J Cafe several chances and at this point will not go back. The counter people are half asleep, rude, and slow. They never recognize you when you walk through the door, even though I always order the exact same thing, the exact same way. I should never have to wait 20 minutes for a small coffee with a little room for cream. I gave it a second, third, fourth, 20th chance. The staff seems overwhelmed and needs some lessons in customer appreciation and service.

• Pros: Good Coffee.... Sometimes
• Cons: Poor service, long wait times

Great coffee, sandwiches, and atmosphere!

by emilybtownsend

This is the perfect place to come for lunch if you're in the Lloyd district and want to avoid eating in the Lloyd center food court. The food is always fresh, and I've never had a bad experience with service. The pressed sandwiches are really really good - the bread is the best part! And it's not a bad deal, either, considering the sandwiches come with a little salad and kettle chips. Beer and wine are available too, although it seems like most people are there for the coffee.

• Pros: Bread, service, location
• Cons: Crowded at times

J Cafe works for me

by mediator_bridget

J Cafe is my new favorite place to meet in the Lloyd Center. Jonathon, owner and operator, is always ready with a big smile and friendly waitstaff take good care of you even when he's not. The soups are what really brings me back. Always warm and flavorful plus traditional combinations are not ruined by "new" additions just for the sake of uniqueness.

Get there by 11:45am for lunch since its so small or plan for take out. They make great box lunches for bigger meetings with free delivery too!
