Nice quaint cafe. Food was fresh homemade and very tasty. The chimichurri sauce was the perfect addition to the homemade beef pies. Will definitely go back.
Update. Came back today for their famous fish curry. It is a game changer. The fish was perfectly poached in the curry sauce. Also came with a homemade samosas which was also very flavorful especially with the homemade tamarind sauce.

I was looking for a place to buy lunch and figured I would go out of my way to avoid food chain places while the building where Jay's cafe is has been under construction. Jay has not disappointed. This place is a hidden gem and the quality of food here cannot be compared to a franchise. The daily specials are fantastic and I have yet to have a bad meal here after dozens.The one review on here that gives Jay only two stars suggests they stopped in for dinner and the price was over $100 per person. You can safely ignore that review because in 2024 Jay's specials are between $7.99 and $9.99. Oh, and this place is not open for dinner by the way...Those false detrimental reviews are why I sold my own restaurant when google "experts" can determine the outcome of a hard working person in the food industry. Jay's little cafe is off the beaten path and entirely worth visiting.

I used to work across the street and went almost daily. Friendliest guy you'll ever meet, I hadn't been in almost 2 years he still remembered my order and made a curry chicken sandwich just for me because he stopped selling them before.
