Great Quality. I love your food! It is high quality, presentable, affordable and in my neighborhood. What I don't understand, is that you allow no substitutions...as in you have mushrooms in the kitchen but won't let me add any to my eggs unless I want to create my own omlet??/But I just want to add mushrooms That is 1) very, very poor customer service and 2) implies you have an incompetent chef who can only do what is prescribed. Please, please change this policy.  View Less View More

Coffee unlike any other. A little jaded or numb to coffee? This will give you a nice "Ah ha" experience.

BAD, BAD customer service. First off, let me say the waitress was wonderful and tried to make up for what happened. It was the manager that was horrible: My mother in law and I went for a spa day at Malu across the street (FABULOUS). I wanted to "keep it local" so we went to John Street Cafe for lunch. I'd been there once before and just wasn't all that impressed. Fairly expensive, mediocre food.

I ordered a $13 chicken quesadilla. It didn't have a lot of flavor, but every quesadilla is different. I found a small bone in the first bite I took. Okay--that happens, it was small, no biggie. By the 3 piece I found a chicken wing!!!!! Not just a 2-inch bone, but the bone, a joint and another bone! I couldn't eat anymore because I was grossed out. I told the waitress what happened and showed her the wing. She was appalled and apologize profusely. She took it back to the kitchen and the manager said, "Well it's not like we meant to put it in there. It was a mistake. If she doesn't want it, too bad." WE. COULD. HEAR. HER!!!

We were offered NO compensation! I would have been happy to pay half, I did eat the soup and almost 1/2 of the quesadilla.

Seriously? I will NEVER be back and I will tell everyone I know to avoid it. You just can't be so horrible to customers in a town where there's a great breakfast around every corner. John Street Cafe, I'm done with you!  View Less

not good for business lunches. since they have a small place, we wanted to place an order for pick up to take back to our work. they have no menu online and they can not fax menus.

the lady on the phone had horrible customer service skills and just wanted to get off the phone. she said the only way to get a menu is to come get it.

so much for Johns Cafe, we took our business to Patties homeplate Cafe, which is a more freindly hometown cafe. it has been in St Johns since before i was in school.  View Less
