J & M's Cafe

If I could give a rating for half a star, I would.. The only reason I'm glad I threw up is because the food was horrible. I read in the Portland Monthly's best breakfast issue that J&M's was rated for one the top Eggs Benedict in Portland. My fiance and I have been trying to find a place to eat delicious Eggs Benedict after Chef Tucker's closed.

J&M's was terribly disappointing. The eggs were steamed not poached, which makes the rubbery, and the sauce was thin. I try really hard not to waste food but I could only manage to eat half of my meal. Two Eggs Benedict, tea, and a small apple cider cost $26.95. Then at the end, they charge you two dollars to pay your bill if you use your debit card. Wtf.…

Overpriced, and they gouge you for paying with plastic. The J&M Cafe is a nice place to have breakfast and they have good coffee. However, it is over priced, and instead of taking credit cards for the benefit of their customers, they gouge you at the end if you forget to bring cash by charging a $2.00 ATM fee (not including your bank's fee). I asked if they would ever think of simply taking cards, and the reply was "it helps us keep our overhead low by not paying the 3% for the credit card transaction, we feel it is working well" Of course it helps you keep your overhead low, but your customers want convenience on top of the overpriced food. At an average of $10 a breakfast, I would think that would be important to you. Stingy. . . . very stingy.…
