First the food was awesome. Fries were top notch. The downside was we walked in at 250 for lunch/dinner and was told they open food at 3. She said take a seat if we wanted to wait, and we did. (The menu says all day) So we waited. About 310 someone noticed us and approached us about ordering. IDK if we were supposed to go to the counter or wait for a server. No instructions or signs that I noticed. We go our food and at the end of the day it was worth the wait. I'm glad we stuck it out because a few minutes more we were leaving. Staff and menu need better instructions. This is near SCAD dorms so I noticed students gathering to do homework while drinking coffee. This appears to be a great study hall and not really a restaurant.

The staff here was so genuinely nice and I really appreciated that I feel like that’s rare. I don’t normally put reviews down but I really enjoyed the design of the space and atmosphere it created! Will go again! Also the food was great :)

Unreliable. The first morning, we arrived to have breakfast and we're told that the chef would not arrive until after 2 p.m. We came back later in the afternoon and we're told that they were no longer serving food, only pastry case items and drinks. The next day we came in around five o'clock and were told that the Cafe was closed. The third day, we gave breakfast another shot. It was good, but the employees laxadaisical attitudes towards their failures tainted the whole experience.

Review is only of breakfast. Latte was good though they only had whole milk. No skim or 2 or 1%. A large cost $5.50 and small was $4.50.
The part that knocked the review down was the pricing of pastries and incorrect charges. A muffin showed $3.50, sounds about right. No price on bagel but ended up being the same price. Croissants and other pastry things were $12…why? Not worth it as they looked like same stuff you’d find at any other cafe. The pricing seemed out of line with everything else considering the menu breakfast items like avocado toast or eggs were the same or only a bit more than that.
Final thing was the muffin was charged a buck more than it was listed. It’s not the end of the world but annoying and the cashier did nothing to correct it when I pointed it out on the receipt.

I was staying at the Ann hotel next door for two nights, which Little James is affiliated with. The night we arrived we tried to go there for a quick snack and they closed and locked their doors 35 mins before their posted closing time. Workers and customers were in there and had to have heard us trying to get in at each of the doors but there was no acknowledgement. Very disappointing after an 8 hour drive. We ended up walking over to Repeal 33 and the food and service were amazing, so in the end it was a blessing. Then the day we were leaving we tried to go there for a quick breakfast before hitting the road for another 8+ hour drive. When we walked in there was a group of about 8 college kids ahead of us in line and the barista and one of the kids were in a long convo about piercings. No orders were being taken, just convos about piercings and other things like school. We realized at this rate it was going to take us 20 mins to even get our order taken so we walked out and went to a taco place a block or two away and got fast and great service. The Ann gave me a voucher for free sparkling wine there so I went to go in and get it once we had finished our lunch at the taco place and loaded the truck up. When I walked in there was no one at the counter for several mins. Then a guy appeared from the dining area and said he would be right with me but proceeded to wipe down 3 tables before coming to assist me. That was just bad customer service. There was no one waiting to be sat or a line of folks that needed a table. Customer service 101 would suggest waiting on me first and then going back to wipe the tables.

I stopped by The Little James in Savannah and got the pumpkin spice latte and a sandwich, both were really good. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the decor had such a nice, cozy vibe. The food took a little while to come out, but everything tasted fresh and was worth the wait. My family was staying at The Ann next door, so it was the perfect spot to grab a bite and relax. Overall, a great experience.
We came here for breakfast ( as we were staying at the next door hotel). Service was very kind and quick. You order and then serve it yourself.

I loved the atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to get work done with lots of comfortable seating. Super friendly staff and the food was amazing. A bit pricey but worth it!

Went to the Little James to meet a family member for a coffee. They had a wide selection of breakfasts drinks and foods. I did not try any of the various breakfast foods but they looked very attractive in the case. I will definitely try one on my next visit. Prices were reasonable. The decor was rather modern - nice but not my favorite.

Disappointing Experience at Little James
My wife and I were staying at The Ann across the street and decided to try Little James since the hotel gives guests a $15 voucher to use there. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing from start to finish.
When we arrived, the manager was sitting at the bar chatting with another employee while a line of customers, including us, waited with no one behind the counter. After several minutes, he looked over and said, “We’ll be right with you,” then continued his conversation. We waited nearly 10 minutes before anyone even came to take an order.
The prices were outrageous, everything on the menu was nearly $15 or more. Even with our $15 vouchers, we still ended up spending around $80 total for a couple of sandwiches and lemonades. Definitely not worth it.
To top it off, the person in front of me tried to order a coffee, but the manager said they “didn’t have a barista”, at what’s supposed to be a coffee shop. He wasn’t apologetic or concerned at all, just dismissive.
Between the poor service, lack of professionalism, and inflated prices, Little James was a huge letdown. With so many better spots in Savannah, this one’s easy to skip.
