I wrote this review not to shame but because it’s my duty as a customer. Let me first say I’ve been eating at this restaurant for going on 2 years with zero complaints. Foods good, service is good and general atmosphere is good. Today I was eating there and I noticed a cockroach crawling down the wall. 1 min later it started crawling towards my plate and I immediately crushed it with my napkin. I hope this review is read by the owner and proceeds to take immediate action. Also I apologize if I’m overreacting but I go here all the time and want to return (with no pests).

Jet Cafe Saved Us During Covid19. They were one of the few places up and running for Delivery and we ordered a LOT! We even got deliveries to our office regularly when we went back. The Food is always Honest, HomeCooked Comfort Food. Filling Portions. Tasty. Hot. Even when Delivered. They also know how to package their food for delivery. Nothing ever falls apart or spilled. Eating in is more ‘Hole-In-The-Wall’ then Breakfast Bistro. Decor / Ambiance is an old throwback to the 80s. They have too many rugs on the floor but because the flooring is uneven it’s more for safety between the grade difference. Jet could be cleaner. But you don’t come here for the Ambiance. You come for the food. The Staff is Great. Welcoming. Smiles and Efficient Service. If you’re on a walk and haven’t had a yummy breakfast or lunch yet, then this is the place. Recommend!

We traveled all the way from Cambridge to visit Jet Cafe, driven by the fantastic reviews we had read, and it certainly did not disappoint. The food was delightful, offering a good variety that catered to our cravings. The cafe itself exudes a nostalgic, old-style charm, which makes the experience even more cozy and inviting. It has that perfect mix of warmth and comfort that makes you feel right at home. The highlight for us, though, was the coffee—it was just perfect, rich in flavor, and clearly made with care. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. We'll definitely be back!

This place is the type of place I think of when describing a locally owned dinner, it isn't fancy, it isn't done up like a hipster restaurant, it's a place you go to by yourself or with your family for affordable good food with good service and friendly people. I got the 7.99 special, Total came to $8.50 with taxes, it included 2 eggs 2 slices of rye bread 3 sausages and a massive portion of home fries that were perfectly cooked The tables are also cleaned after each customer leaves

Good food, good prices, large portions, what more could you want? Slighty awkward to get in with a wheelchair, but considering the age of the building its more than acceptable.

★★★★★

Old school diner vibes so prepare for time travel (order at the front then they bring you the food), but you can’t beat the prices and quantity of food you get. Taste like good home cooking which you can’t beat.

This place was 12 hours from where we live. I wish it was in out town. Finally a restaurant that knows how to cook fried potatoes with just the right crispness and season salt. The peameal bacon was cut just the right thickness so it wasn't dry. I really enjoyed my breakfast immensely

I haven't had a good restaurant breakfast in a while. Good job Jet Cafe! You exceeded any expectations of mine. I will eat here again and I recommend you to all who are looking for a surprisingly excellent breakfast.

If you have 30 minutes to wait for an over priced egg in a 3/4 empty room, you have time to go somewhere significantly better(anywhere).

I had the Popeye Omelet for $10 there was hardly any feta, huge chunks of onion that were hardly cooked, the spinach wasn t cooked and huge pieces. The potatoes were over cooked and hard. The staff came and just threw my meal in front of me and walked away. She had given me ketchup the. Took it away to give to someone else and I hadn t used it yet The owner/ manger (?) was talking to another guy about colonoscopy and diarrhea while I was trying to eat

Ordered the big breakfast on a recommendation to come here from a friend. I had my order made exactly as requested and at a great price, usually when I get breakfast they cant get it 100% right at other places and its a lot more expensive. I havent had a breakfast this good in years. I found my new place, keep up the great work!

Do not order the chicken omlette. They should not be offering that to customers, because theres no way that is real chicken. Tasted old, rotten, with a metallic taste, reminded me of the chicken youd buy in a can at the Dollarama. I had two bites and sent it back. The other breakfast ordered was just a plate of overly salted food. Inedible. Its been about 3 hours since eating there, and my stomach is in knots. Terrible spot, would not recommend.

My mom and I wanted to stay and have a coffee, but the place was so hot to be able to sit inside and have a coffee, The bathroom was also downstairs & absolutely Disgusting. Not Handicap friendly at all. If you ever want to know the true nature of a business, visit the bathroom.

I used to love this place and come almost every month, but yesterday I ate at Jet Cafe for breakfast and my experience fell a bit short. First, I ordered the meat lovers skillet (my usual) and I decided to get extra peppers and extra sauce. I understand that there would usually be some type of extra charge, but I expect business owners to communicate exactly how much that extra charge is to the customers WHILE theyre punching it in and BEFORE I pay. Only after did I realize how much extra it was, and I wouldnt have ordered it if I had known. I strongly urge the workers here to communicate any extra charges as they are ordered, instead of just skating by saying nothing. Then, it took my table 40 minutes to get our food, which is unusual as its usually much faster than that. Id appreciate at least refills on water and our waitress communicating how much longer we can expect to wait. Alternatively, if theres a long wait expected, it should be communicated DURING the order. Lastly, me and my table were missing onions from our skillet, and were told that we could get extra onions next time we come to Jet Cafe, and to write our name down on a piece of paper. What if I dont want to come to Jet Cafe again? What if the next time I go to Jet Cafe is in 6 months? What if they lose the paper with my name on it? What if someone comes in with the same name as me? There are so many flaws to this system and I would have much appreciated just getting a complimentary drink or refund on the spot. Overall, Jet Cafe used to be my go-to spot in Hamilton for a classic brunch but I think Ill now start looking at other options, like John St. Diner.

Always clean, friendly, welcoming staff! Great food, portion sizes, and prices. It has been our favourite breakfast place for the last several years. They also have an amazing variety of coffee. We have never had a complaint with staff, food or cleanliness. 5 STARS all around! The only downside I would say is the bathroom is in the basement, down steep stairs, and a bit dark and cold down there. Not wheelchair compatible to use. I would still give them 5 STARS, though! Kid-friendliness: There is lots of artwork on the walls to look at. It tends to be a louder atmosphere if the kids get a little too noisy. Pleasant and friendly staff to make kids feel welcomed too.

Inexpensive and very polite staff. Relaxing, but had to clean my chair to sit. You need to go to the counter to order food and pay. (Should also get cutlery at this time) The staff brings the food to your table when its ready. Unfortunately, food sits in front of you on the table waiting for the cutlery . Its a nice little place for what it is.

I had this place pretty high although I didnt like the signs on every table saying, 45 maximum stay. They used to close at 2pm and there is either new owner, new management and/or new staff, but they close at 1:30 and they literally let me know they are done, by mopping my feet Will never go back. There are many other places coming up, with great breakfast and great service. BTW coffee used to be nice and hot. They had to put mine in the microwave, wich changed the taste

I have been going to this family-run cafe for over 10 years. Dine-in or takeout, they never miss! Very affordable options. Their menu has something for everyone. Their specials will usually catch my attention. They have a lot of different coffee brews to choose from as well. Their all day breakfast has been a classic for a long time. 2 eggs + choice of bacon OR sausage OR ham + buttered toast + hash-browns. Condiments and jam can be requested for free. The home fries are bomb. A homey atmosphere and great service complete this all-day breakfast institution. They always do an amazing job, I only have positive things to say about Jet s. 10/10 Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options. Parking: King Street: pay parking, except weekends/holidays. Paid Parking lot on side. Kid-friendliness: Family run place, have seen many families enjoy their meal here.

Jet Cafe is a staple breakfast cafe of Hamilton. Its long time presence in the International Village of the downtown core is a draw among the early birds and night shifters. Their menu has an awesome mix of breakfast foods... from staples like Big Breakfasts combos of eggs, bacon, ham, and perogies with all sorts of toppings and the classic home fries. Or if youre more in the mood of sweet tooth and want to treat yourself, there are pancakes and french toast. Cant forget eggs benedict, always a great and filling option for a brunch. And if all youre looking for is to pickup a fast and steaming cup of coffee, you cant go wrong with the variety of selections. Jet Cafe is my favorite breakfast joint. Reliable, consistent, friendly and welcoming atmosphere where the staff are always happy to serve everyone. My favorite part is they display local artists paintings and photography that you can buy. You never know whats going to catch your eye with the variety of artworks!

I went in to this place thinking it would be something very different than what it was. It honestly gives off a very grimey feel. It doesnt feel clean or organized at all. The food was ok, went there for breakfast with my husband, my eggs were a bit cold and the pancake seemed overdone. Its very dark if you dont sit right by the window, they had a TV on with the news so you can hear all the depressing stuff going on while you eat. It was just a disappointing experience. Also the other customers there seemed to be a bit off as well if you get what I mean. I didnt love being stared at as I walked to my table.

My favourite place to go for breakfast

I cant believe its taken me so long to write a review for my favourite, go-to coffee spot. I am there weekly (sometimes daily), to grab a coffee on my way to work. I recognize the importance of supporting local and love the wait staff and Jeff, the owner. I found this #Hamont gem about 2 years ago and have been going consistently since. Im not sure if its the pleasantness of the staff, the promptness of the service, or the fact that they have about 10 coffees EVERY DAY for you to choose from, that makes me coming back. This is my usual spot. I dont have to order. They know my coffee and food order. Love Danica, Faith, Jeff and the rest!!! Need a regular spot, Where everybody knows your name? Jet is the place for you. Enjoy!

Well, it isnt what it once was. Ordered 2 Breakfast specials and a Reuben sandwich. Everything was way too Salty, especially the hashbrowns...wow. And my Reuben sandwich was burnt and soggy at the same time, hmm. So it will be the last time.

Very friendly staff. The most inexpensive full breakfast in Hamilton. Very tasty too. The interior is a bit worn out but it doesnt take away from quick and tasty food.

LOVE this place ~ the service is OUTSTANDING ~ the food is fabulous ~ and the prices cannot be beat!!! Now if they only renovated the downstairs bathrooms, I would NEVER go anywhere else for breakfast. 2nd Review - I cannot say enough about the awesome service at Jet Cafe. The staff go out of their way to accommodate their customers. We are there every Sunday for breakfast and have never been disappointed. Still the best place for fabulous breakfast at affordable prices served by incredible staff.

Delicious French toast, bacon and eggs! Staff were super friendly, and it s obviously the locals place to go for good eats. Can t wait to be back next time we re in Hamilton on the way to the airport!

December 22, 2022

The pancakes were raw in the middle, so was the French toast. The food is bland! No taste at all, and clearly they don t know how to read orders because they didn t even send our full order. Paid almost $80.00 Do not recommend at all

Nice cheap greasy dinner brekky. Good coffee - drip but lots of different roast and flavour selections. No free coffee refills but prices make up for it. Just buy another if you really need to! Vegetarian options: Grab a cheap fried egg sandwich with lettuce tomatoe and mayo. Parking: Street parking - free on evenings and weekends.

Great atmosphere great pictures and for sale most...very cozy. Staff was great helpfull and well mannered. Saw them clean a table a lady forgot her keys so they put them in a safe spot behind the counter and waited for her return. And she did I let them know she was at the back door do being in a ability chair not disabity thats kinda rude I think anyways. She was a sweet lady. Great breakfast and coffee perfect eggs n bacon last time this time I could only get coffee but was amazing either way. The owners should be extra proud of their staff today on their efforts to help others as small as it may seem.

Probably one of the grossest breakfast plates I ever got. Home fries were definitely too big to be called home fries, they also tasted about a week old. Bacon was undercooked ham looked like Sliced sandwich meat and the egg was way overcooked

Pretty great food and the potatoes are actually seasoned instead of just lumps of starch. They also had like 5 different types of coffee. Only bad thing would be the druggies I encountered in the bathroom but I suppose thats more of a downtown Hamilton thing as opposed to a Jet Cafe thing.

The staff was affable enough yet disorganized. I waited over 45 minutes for a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. My breakfast was 80% inedible. The toast was burnt, the bacon was day old as were the home fries. The eggs, as probably the only item cooked to order were okay. Additionally, as the long line lagged, Skip The Dishes orders were more promptly completed one after another and took precedence over patrons in the restaurant. Unfortunately, this was a frustration felt by all the customers waiting in line. Moreover, there was no air-conditioning and a door was wide open letting in flying insects. The kitchen seemed unsanitary as well. There was debris and garbage directly beside the pickup area. Not exactly the most appetizing arrangement. I would urge Jet Cafe to organize themselves in a more cohesive manner, commence a deep clean and try harder in the future.

The staff here handle money touch everything and then handle the food without wearing gloves or washing their hands. With a pandemic going on I would have thought they would take extra measures. used to be a great place.

December 22, 2021

The jet cafe used to be a place I loved to have breakfast. Since the daughters have taken over. The service is horrendous. They act as if you are bothering them while placing your order. Don t let you finish speaking. Tell you your total after every word you say even if you aren t finished ordering. I ordered two clubhouse sandwiches and the bacon was raw. When I called back nothing was done about it. It s a shame the owner and wife stopped running the place. Their daughters are going to run this once well loved local place right into the ground.

Absolutely amazing little gem in downtown Hamilton. The 5.99 breakfast special is a steal and a very generous portion. Had the Popeyes omelette $9.50 had to take half home it was big enough for breakfast and lunch! The home fries are the best Ive ever had crispy on all sides and seasoned with a savoury Cajun style seasoning. The staff is super down to earth and friendly as well. Would come here weekly if there was one in Toronto .

Jet Cafe was the first place I would frequent when I moved to Hamilton 10 years ago. The owners and staff made me feel welcome and at home when I did not feel at home for the first few months to a year. Thank you so much for still being around and not losing your charm that everyone loves and values in downtown Hamilton. Cheers.
