Really good caramel macchiatos with almond milk. Good foam and very creamy. Unfortunately there was no vegetarian or vegan breakfast food (would be nice if they could offer something), but will have to come back for lunch to try their food at another time, because it seems there are vegan options for lunch.

My partner and I had our first date here seven years ago . We went for lunch to celebrate. The food is delicious. The service is fabulous. Lots of parking outside.

Jitter Bean Cafe is easily one of my favourite spots in the Moncton area. The staff there is very kind and always remember me and my mom (they also always remember how she likes her tea). One thing I've noticed is their attention to detail. The food is always delicious and well made. When ordering for take-out, they staple the bag shut so nothing falls out. When eating in, the food is plated with care and looks pretty. I always say that the food feels like it was made with love. But in all seriousness, Jitter Bean has definitely earned a 5 star from me for good reason.

I’ve been meaning to leave a review forever, but this is my favorite spot to go in Moncton. I love the atmosphere. The people who work there are always so kind and didn’t even remember my order. All the food is delicious so far and they have lots of gluten-free options. The chai latte tea and the lemon ginger tea with real ginger in it are my two absolute favorites. For food I like pretty much all of their sandwiches and their California roll is so good and their poke bowl is delicious and you can’t go wrong with the soups.

Our first visit here was enjoyable. I appreciated the service and the interior design. However, I found the Japchae to be overly oily, although still tasty. The cafe latte was unfortunately watered down. On a brighter note, the Panini was delicious, but the corn chowder lacked flavor.

★★★★★

It was awesome the atmosphere was cozy yet regal they will make you feel at ease it’s the perfect place to go if you want work and don’t have to drive to go somewhere to eat you can order right there and their coffee is really good I strongly recommend the mapo tofu, the bibimbap, the kimchi jigae and teriyaki chicken. Over all 100000/10

A very cute cafe with many personal touches and attention to detail. This was my second time there and I absolutely loved it. Ordered the Breakfast Panini with egg as choice of protein and a cappuccino. The coffee was perfect and so was the Panini. Generously filled plate. Hard working staff, I believe it is a family run business. Keep up the great service! My day is made! 😇

This is the first time I fell in love with a restaurant. Its been 14 years since I was abroad that I was looking for a restaurant with the same flavors as the original recipes. We had a BBQ PORK and CHAO MIAN, really good food! Parking: Many spots.

A little hidden gem. Excellent food that is freshly prepared to order. The only negative (and its enough that we wouldnt dine in again) is the poor ventilation. The air was so thick with cooking smoke and smells. It made breathing uncomfortable and when we finished our meal and left we smelled of the environment unfortunately. The only other small thing was the service was slow. That said, everyone working there was lovely and friendly and clearly doing their best.

I was visiting Moncton so decided to stop by this cafe. I tried cappuccino and flat white with oat milk. Exceptionally cozy cafe with food items too on menu specifically korean. Loved the flat white and the lady was sweet as they don t have flat white on the menu but made it for me. Will try other things next time I drop by! ;)

I kept driving by this place, and I am glad I stopped in. Just a coffee and cheesecake but both were excellent. Fast service and always with a smile. Next time, I will try some of the Korean food for lunch .

Really lovely cafe that Id recommend to anyone. I moved into the area last year and have been making my rounds to different cafes. This one is a little bit of a drive for me, but worth it! I havent tried their whole menu, but everything I have had was great. The pesto panini is hearty and delicious. The poke bowl is really fulfilling and one of my favorites for a healthy meal. The bibimbap is also amazing and I think their korean food is a strong point! Their drinks are also delicious. I havent explored much yet in their coffee menu, but I have really enjoyed variations of their lattes. I also had the citron tea and was pleasantly surprised at that. It was very refreshing for a hot day. Prices are reasonable and on par with prices in the area. Staff is very friendly!

Its about time my lovely wife Pat and I went to this fine café. I had always mistakenly assumed it was a simple coffee shop (just going by the name). I was certainly wrong, it is so much more. It has a varied food selection and seem to be keyed more towards Korean food selection. I noticed todays special was a very glamorous grilled cheese and the description made it sound extremely appetizing. Not ones normal, nor simple type of grilled cheese. Although I was tempted, I stuck with my original reason for going here, to try their Korean meal selection. At the counter I ordered their advertised (on the wall) BBW Pork consisting of BBQ Pork (of course), fried eggs, steamed rice and greens. I was not sure what the greens were but found them delicious. Visually reminded me of mermaid tails, but very small. Pat ordered the Japchae and mandoo dumplings (went with the beef and pork option). Her choice consisted of stir fried sweet potatoes vermicelli noodles. Once again, when eating out, Pat had enough left overs for her dinner later this day. I completed the eating of my meal and felt very content afterwards. Pat especially enjoyed her café latte. I truly enjoyed the freshly made strawberry smoothie. I had intended to go with their famous hot chocolate but the idea of a smoothie overtook me. Next time. We both look forward to returning. When I asked Pat what she thought of this place she stated, its my new number one place Update; weve both been back here a few times. Our only limitation are funds. We tend to plan outings a bit more budgeted. If money no object, this would be a regular stop. As it stands, we use this fine café as our reward system and star attraction for bringing loved ones to.

This place is phenomenal. Randomly found it in Google maps and decided to try without reading reviews. The lunch special of ham and cheese with cucumber, carrot, and spinach with a garlic, parmesan, mayo was amazing. It also came with soup and I opted for the wonton. Everything was delicious. My son got the cucumber carrot roll and loved it. We both got hot chocolate and that is tasty too. We will definitely be back.
