We walked in here expecting nothing more than diner food, and we’re pleasantly surprised. The eggs were incredible. The hash browns were unique but delicious. A coffee was arguably pretty bad that day but forgivable. It was cool to see a bunch of stuff about Jackie being a renowned chef in Chicago. Not to mention some homemade toppings for toast like a blueberry spread and a lemon that were out of this world. Which explains why the very simple omelettes were elevated in class.

This has all the makings of a place you’d like to tell your friends, “Oh, if you go through New Buffalo you gotta stop at Jackie’s Cafe”. The prices were good, the atmosphere inside is fresh with no ‘funny’ odors, the staff is welcoming, and the food is, well, we were hopeful. The food was just OK. It looked good, sounded good, but it lacked that special taste a chef-based cafe should have. We even tried the attached bakery shop behind the cafe and had the same experience. My wife has far better recipes at home.

What a delightful find in this little town! A limited but focused menu with a charming outdoor seating space. Good sized portions without being overwhelming. The blueberry compote was scrumptious and the lemon curd was very tasty. Also ask to try the spiced pickles!

Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Excellent breakfast! I had the seasonal quiche during our first visit and just plain old eggs and bacon on our second. So good!!

Don’t mistake this for an ordinary diner. The food is much better and prices just a bit higher. Jackie was a renowned Asian-fusion chef in Chicago before setting up here. I had the blueberry French Toast, which was memorably good. The place is clean, bright and the menu –while not “fusion”– reflects Jackie’s creativity.

I felt as if i was eating in Jackie’s home. Absolutely amazing food and it was brought to our table the chef herself. You can feel the love she has for cooking as soon as you walk into the restaurant. We had the crepes, and two different versions of the Egg Benedict. After breakfast we headed to the back of the restaurant and got some delicious treats from the bakery. Jackie placed them in a Togo box for us explaining what each treat was. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for food made with love. If you want to order the chocolate bag you see on her website you must do it thru catering it is not offered in the bakery. Definitely going to order one for my next birthday!

Very adorable cottage like feel, nice patio with birdhouses outside. Menu is simple with breakfast and lunch offerings. Dog friendly, offering our pooch a water dish and some treats! The smokehouse bacon is amazing and the season fritata was filling, nicely paired with a salad and fruit. My partner had the Schwartz wrap which was delicious! Very quiet, chill atmosphere.

We’re food snobs and there’s not a lot of breakfast options in New Buffalo so we took a chance. Hubby got The Benito, I had the Frittata. I’ve never had eggs Benedict nor any other form The Benito was amazing! The Frittata was Amazing! The bacon and house potatoes amazing! I wish I could fit more because I wanted to try the French toast everyone was sharing! We love good and Jackie’s Cafe is legit! Delicious to the last bite!
