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.

Went here for the first time today and I really enjoyed it. The place is small, so it was easy to have a full house and when it was the room was pretty loud. It was hard to speak to the person across from me. The service was also wonderful!The food was very good, and I only had breakfast. I had a veggie omelette which was good but I asked for broccoli in it, and the pieces were very large. The blueberry compote and lemon curd given with the toast was fantastic!

I ordered the Buffalo breakfast, 2 eggs, meat, potatoes and toast $12.00. I asked the eggs be over easy with whites cooked through, one egg was broken fried hard the other over medium. The hashbrowns were inedible, she put something creamy in the potatoes, no good. I ordered ham, it came out 3 slivers of lunch meat. The toast was good and the coffee incredible. My wife ordered the healthy pancakes, very nice, great flavor. We will try here again if not for the pancakes and coffee. Disappointed about them serving a hard broken egg.Parking: Parking along side of building closest to door and parking back farthest from the front door.Kid-friendliness: Very small area inside.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp very tight seating inside, may need to move table and chairs to access but definately doable.

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!

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!

This is such a hidden gem! My youngest son and I went to our favorite beach in New Buffalo and happen to find Jackie’s place, googling different places nearby. We sat outside, it was so peaceful. Menu is very interesting consisting of incredible dishes. if I had to separate one, it would definitely have to be jalapeño benedict! Everything we had was beautifully plated to the smallest detail. Jackie is such an outstanding chef, one beautiful lady! She was busy preparing all the food in a kitchen, however I had a pleasure to get a glimpse of this one of a kind chef! I am so happy we discovered this restaurant and we will be visiting it again soon!

This was highly recommended by friends. We were not disappointed. I had a frittata that had asparagus, red pepper, potatoes, and 2 different types of cheese. It came with a spinach salad and fruit. My friend had the egg Foo young on wheat bread. Jackie delivered our food. The food was absolutely delicious. The presentation was a work of art. After breakfast we went to the bakery. The chocolate chip, oatmeal cookes have a touch of homegrown cherries, that are picked out back. The blueberry bread is scrumptious toasted with butter. The koloche melts in your mouth. Plan to wait a little while, like every place the staff is short with this whole covid thing. Be patient and take a walk around the neighborhood. There is outdoor dining offered.

Cute cafe with bright outdoor space. Food is good but due to how busy they were service was slow once we were seated at our table. $13.50 for eggs Benedict. $11 for ham and eggs. Delicious lemon curd on multigrain toast.

This was the perfect spot for us to make a pit stop to on our way to Chicago for a weekend trip. The pricing was acceptable and the food was phenomenal. Definitely recommend stopping in.They also have a great selection of baked goods as well!

This place came highly recommended by hotel staff. Not worth the 20 minutes wait to be seated. Once seated, the waitress (older blonde lady)was not very pleasant or welcoming. It took her 15 minutes to greet us. It took Another35-40 minutes to get our food. My eggs were so hard I could not eat them. The hash browns were some sort of casserole, creamy thing, NOT good at all. The bacon was decent, the only thing I did eat. The atmosphere was cute with outdoor dining. I won’t be back

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!I took 1 star off the service but let me clarify the staff were attentive and hustling but seemed slightly disorganized- like they were all doing different tasks instead of being focused on one thing.But don’t let that stop you from checking this place out, it is absolutely worth your time.

What a treasure!!! Stopped in for breakfast on our way back to Wisconsin, and this place was amazing! Great coffee, absolutely incredible food, and very friendly and prompt service. I had the quiche, fruit, and spinach salad. Seriously spectacular!!! Next time we are passing through, this will definitely be on our list of places to stop. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

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.

My wife and I stopped in on a whim, we wanted something other than Stray Dog, and were very happy that we did. We both got the Irresistible Crepe with avocado, sautéed spinach, mushroom, pepperjack cheese, and hollandaise sauce. It was delicious and came with fruit and a side salad. Next time, we'll have to try some of Jackie's baked goods.I would definitely recommend this place!

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.

Tasty cafe in lake country owned by a remarkable, unassuming chef who achieved remarkable success in Chicago both for her culinary abilities and her philanthropy/give back efforts. The food was v good but I think I most enjoyed learning about the chef from the articles in the hallway. While I was reading them she came out of the kitchen to use the restroom and if I wasn't looking at her photo in a magazine article I would have had no idea who she was. An everyday hero
