Jackie & Sons

Pretty atmosphere and dishware. Breakfast burrito average, not bad but also nothing special about it. French toast, pretty on the eyes, greasy on the mouth; I would like to taste more of the pistachios. Macchiato and mango smoothie were really good; baristas knew what they were doing. Staff was attentive and also made sure everything was alright with our food. Maybe I ordered the wrong items. Overall, a 7/10 experience :(

Came in to grab some breakfast and had a great experience. The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheddar sandwich on a roll and it was excellent. My wife had the zucchini bread that she also enjoyed. Nice and bright atmosphere. Need to come back to try the scones and other items.

After another place down the street said it would take 30 mins to get breakfast when the place was empty, I happily landed here! The service was great. The food was even better. I got a Blueberry scone which I couldn't help but eat it all after I planned to eat half and save the rest. I continued on with the Jackie & Son Scramble which I ordered eggs over easy. The Sourdough bread was amazing with the whole dish of eggs, tomatoes, Truffle Home Fries and Gruyere. And it arrived in just a few mins hot off pan. Love the atmosphere, the attention of the bus waiters, and everything about this place. Will happily return.

Food is amazing from the lentil soup to the avocado blt, avocado toast to the salads!!! Seriously, everything is great!! Love the food!! Super friendly staff. Parking can be a challenge but a short walk is worth it!

Family of 5 wanted a quick breakfast. Metered Street parking upon arrival. No wait time at the time. Seating for 5 was a bit tight but manageable. Self-order at the counter, server brought food instantly. Food was great! Especially, the Carrot/Apple juice my 2 year old loved it. A lot of options to pick from breakfast to lunch food. Would definitely come again.

We came here on a Saturday around 12p and the place was PACKED!!! The place is very small for the amount of traffic they get but we managed to grab a table outside. The way to order is very chaotic to me. You sit down & a server is SUPPOSED to bring you a menu. After you figure out what you want, you are to go get in line at the register and order your food & pay for it. The cashier will then give you a flag that has your order number on it and when it is ready, a server will attempt to find the table w. the number that matches the food(so they pretty much have to run around playing Where’s Waldo). A server never came with a menu so I had to walk inside to get them. When I go to order our food the line is basically out the door and again the place is so tight & small that everybody is standing on top of each other. It took about 25 mins for our food to come. The food was hot but a level under hot but nothing to complain about. Now let me say this: the food was REALLY GOOD! I don’t really have any complaints about the food other than I would have preferred hard scrambled eggs(they come soft scrambled) AND I got ONE sausage round for $6 or $7(that’s too much for one!) and it wasn’t good, it was kind of mushy. The smoothies are good as well, though expensive about $15 each, but they could use a little sugar to sweeten them up a little bit, but again still really good. You can tell they are using quality and fresh ingredients! The inside is so loud though, you can barely hear. They really do need to get a bigger spot & change their ordering system around or at the very least a bigger spot and hire more workers. Overall I would come back but ONLY on like a random EARLY morning Tuesday when it is relatively empty!

I have been ordering from here basically since they opened. Never had an issue. The one time I did, before now, it was taken care of immediately. Which is why I didn’t want to write this. Last weekend, my husband and I picked up breakfast and a snack for later. We always get the beef scramble, French toast, and sometimes avocado toast. This time, we get home, settle our kids and ready ourselves for great food. Not the case for my husband. He swallowed that beef scramble, and then threw it up immediately after before I could even finish mine. I called them immediately and they wouldn’t answer so I left a message. Still no call. I just at least wanted a call. So, unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

One of my favorite places to go for breakfast. I absolutely love their blueberry pancakes. Recently, I tried their veggie grain bowl to try something outside of my usual breakfast preferences. It was okay. I feel like it’s missing a flavor or a different sauce than the Tahini. The staff is super friendly and provides the best customer service. The food is great!

A very nice chic looking establishment and great customer service from their workers. I had the tuna platter salad and mint lemonade + rosewater. For the price this was a big portion, fresh ingredients, they didn't shy away from the tuna and it left me satisfied after eating it. As for the lemonade, it was very sour and I absolutely love me a sour lemonade so I highly recommend that drink if you love sourness like me. Will be coming back here for sure. 5 stars!

I visited Jackie and Sons twice in one week, and each visit was a treat! For breakfast, I tried the beef scramble--the pine nuts added such a fantastic flavor twist. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. I also couldn't resist their pastries; the lemon blueberry and carrot cake were absolutely divine. A few days later, I returned for lunch and had the kebab combo. Another winner! The flavors were robust, and the portion was just right. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a smooth cortado and a cappuccino that truly hit the spot. The atmosphere feels modern and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax. The staff is so friendly and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Parking was easy to find--there's paid street parking, or you can park in the area right behind the store off Route 510. Jackie and Sons is a gem in South Orange, NJ. Highly recommend for anyone seeking delicious food, great service, and a cozy yet modern vibe!

Visited this restaurant for lunch and I really enjoyed the homemade vegan lentil soup . I also ordered a veggie sandwich which was fresh but very bland .

Visited after an year Updating review .. Enjoyed the food even more this time Lot of people keep coming back to this place Friendly service and cute place buzzing with morning energy

The cool spot is located within minutes of Seton Hall University (South Orange, New Jersey). The service is great. Everyone is very friendly. The food was delicious. We ordered French Toast, a side of bacon, two eggs, and a raspberry lemon scone. The portions are plentiful. I wasn't expecting a side of bacon to be a bowl full of bacon (yes!!!). And the amount of whipped cream, wow!!! Everything was delicious. We also ordered the Very Berry smoothie. It wasn't our favorite, but it did not ruin what was an excellent meal. I highly recommend this cozy spot for a awesome breakfast and/or an excellent treat.

This spot is super cute ! Super busy for almost 10am! First come, first serve! Patricia and Jake were extremely friendly and welcoming ! I would definitely come here again. The latte is absolutely perfect The food is bomb!!

Had DoorDash from here so can't comment on service or ambience but the food is amazing!! We ordered grilled cheese, chicken shawarma and french toast. They were all amazing and the French toast is to die for

Great atmosphere and top quality foods including healthy oils. Unlike many restaurants in the area, they are conscientious about not using seed oils.

Chef's kiss on the food, service and ambiance. I didn't get a chance to take a picture. The food was amazing.

Great food, service, and atmosphere! I ordered blueberry pancakes and enjoyed them. They were thick, light and fluffy with loads of blueberries. It came with a side of maple syrup. They must have added butter or something to the syrup because in the beginning the syrup tasted of nothing. So if you get the pancakes make sure to stir the syrup first. You order at the counter, pay and are given a number so they can deliver your food to the table. Everyone was welcoming, and the service was excellent. They had plenty of staff, which is a rarity these days. The food did not come out immediately, which is a good thing. It means it's made to order. All the salads and entrées coming out looked excellent and the baked goods were fabulous looking. I got an iced tea to go, and it was phenomenal! They had a sidebar with syrups and sugar. That was a nice touch. A metered municipal parking lot is next door. I'll be back.

We've been here twice already. The food is great, no doubt about it. Service is excellent, the place is clean, and the ambience is just right. This is a restaurant done right. The process of paying first before eating is very clever. The food is well sautéed and carefully cooked to enhance awesome taste. Seem s this would be our new frequent spot. See you soon! We highly recommend!

Always the best food! This place is wonderful. Try their matcha latte or any of their pastries.

These baked goods are the best I have ever had in my life, and that says a lot, as I am a sweets lover and enjoy sugary goods often. The halva brownie is exceptionally good; I'm surprised NJ hasn't tried to call it a drug and yet and make it illegal.

We had a lovely, delightful brunch at Jackie's.I had Jackie's scramble, and every component was delicious, and even the toast was excellent. My wife had the Shawarma bowl, which was very tasty, and enough for 3 meals! Their coffee was Sooo good! The many staff were pleasant and industrious, taking great care of seated customers while attending to the many called-in and online orders diligently. The restaurant is very bright, surrounded on 2 side by large windows. The manager was very kind to us, and the waitstaff and bus-persons were very attentive. We really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, the bustle, and the kind staff! This was our second visit, and we will return whenever back in town.

Is it me or has anyone else been on a cafe kick/run lately? I've been making my rounds around town and I found this spot. Super chic, pleasant with delicious coffee and food. I ordered the egg & cheddar sandwich which was really good. It was hot and super fresh. I also got the raspberry lemon scone since this is what they're known for. I'm not a scone girl and this confirmed it for me. However, for all my scone people you will love it!! I'll be back to dine in for the pancakes and much more!

High quality foods in a casual setting is perfect for us. Service is always good. We always eat too much here since baked sweets are also good.

Definitely go and check out Jackie and Sons! The food here is incredible, the service is cafe style and quick, and the plates and decor are adorable! While it is a small cafe with limit spots for seating, it is well worth the fight to eat in house. It is also rather affordable coming from a local college student.

Always a hit love there grilled cheese! Need to come back asap and try the smoothies or juices service is great and lovely seating area outside. Only main concern is there a young lady named Karen who interrupted my nice lunch with my family as she was trying to talk to us as we were sitting enjoying our meal.

Lovely corner shop . Order the Taste of Home, excited to find out the Nana Tea came with the order. I'm not a tea person, but Nana Tea with Mint was great; Added a splash of their Earl gray house syrup and it was quite a soothing taste. The meal was delicious. The eggs were nicely cooked; not overdone or overcooked. Perfectly runny and flavorful (I didn't have to add salt or pepper). The star of the meal was really the za'atar labneh. That was exquisite, flavorful, fun. As for bakery items: ordered the lemon blueberry, raspberry lemon scone and a halva brownie to take home. They remained fresh after several hours. And they were still flavorful, moist, and delicious. The halva brownie complimented each other so well. My only gripe was the pita bread; they were a bit chewy and hard; unsure if they were a tad stale but adding the food items helped out.

Loved everything about this little gem. Healthy, fresh options and delicious baked goods.

A nice surprise. Had takeout but will def come back to sit down and eat. Had a scone and a breakfast wrap

Stopped by for weekday brunch with a friend and the blueberry pancakes were steaming and fluffy, would definitely come back for those! We also shared one of the omelets (don't remember which) which was also very enjoyable, and I got a matcha latte. The latte reminded me that I'm not really a latte person but it was made very well! I got my boyfriend a breakfast sandwich to go which he said was good as well. Note--they do not sell bread here, the bread including the sourdough is just mainly for the sandwiches.

Jackie and Son is one of my favorite brunch restaurants. They are located right up the street from Seton Hall University. They offer your classic brunch items, but with a unique twist. Their french toast is made with real french bread and is accompanied with homemade whipped cream topped with fresh berries and house made maple butter syrup. I drive 30 minutes to have their french toast. Yes they are that good! The jackie and son egg scramble is another one of my favorites. Eggs scrambled soft with truffle home fries. Fresh water infused with fruit is available for free and that is a plus. The do have a nice selection of bakery goods as well. Their tahini brownie is a must try! I highly recommend you check this restaurant out.

One of our favorite breakfast place! Such a bright and inviting space with delicious food. The truffle homefries are to die for. The omelets are fluffy and my husband loves the avacado toast. All of the pastries look so fresh and tasty. The portions are perfect and service is great!!

It's very first to eat at Jackie and son. I wanted try here so bad for long time. Cashier woman recommended me grain bowl and ordered. When I get my order looks soooo yummy but it's super salty!!!! I couldn't even finished my plate at all and I kept drinking water. I was with my girlfriends so I didn't tell anyone at restraunt about salty food I got. It's wasted my money.... And disappointed. I won't go back there again

I get breakfast from this place almost every morning and I rotate between the breakfast burrito and the beef scramble. The juices and smoothies are also really good. Overall, really reliable and great breakfast options.

Ordered on Uber eats and left a note that it was my bday for extra whip cream and sure enough they gave me extra whip cream and a cookie!! What amazing thoughtful service. Thank you for the amazing food always.

Good food and quick service. Very polite staff. Ambiance was of a bustling cafe. This place is first come first sit, you order at the register and they give you a number, then the food is brought to you. I really enjoyed my food. Truffled potatoes are a nice touch.

In late March, they were only offering take out with tables outside, luckily the day was beautiful and a table opened up at just the right time. The inside looks adorable though! The shakshuka is pretty good. The tomato sauce was very flavorful and I loved the feta and toast with it. My kids shared the blueberry pancakes and loved them. The portion size is pretty big and there are plenty of blueberries baked right in. My husband had the Jackie & Sons omelette and enjoyed it. He was a huge fan of the truffle fries. Overall, this is a really nice brunch spot to check out if you're in the area.

College town gem. If you're going to Seton Hall as a student, you are lucky to have this hip place walking distance from campus. Great coffee and very tasty food. I LOVED how my Jackie and Son scramble came with slices of cheese. You never get slices of cheese (unless it's an appetizer)! And it was GOOD cheese! Very cute interior. You can probably get away with doing work in here on your laptop. Super duper lovely here.

Recommend! Stopped in for brunch after hiking at South Mountain, and we were very happy to have taken a chance on this place that we picked on a whim from Google! Menu is Mediterranean inspired, and portions are generous. Order at the counter and seat yourself. A few outdoor tables as well. Parking lot (metered) close by, as well as street parking (but on the main street the time limit is short). Enjoyed the food - beet mezze and Grains of Nazareth were my favorites, and I also loved the raspberry lemon scone, tahini brownie and mint lemonade. Wouldn't order the potato salad or roasted cauliflower mezzes again, but they were ok.

This place is simply amazing!!! I've ordered here over 10 times religiously while I'm at my workplace & they have NEVER dissapointed. The times in which I have called the staff has always been friendly & willing to listen & follow directions. The quality of food ingredients are elite & their food tastes amazing every single time!! My favorite are the smoothies which they accommodate to my dietary needs every time (vegan) & the mujadara along with the avocado toast! Thank you guys for wonderful quality & service!!

I was here earlier in the week, which was my first time eating here. I enjoyed the lamb gyro and falafel. Lamb was tender and seasoned well. I also had the blueberry lemon cake, My goodness. Frosting is buttery, real blueberries tart but sweet. Lemon not overwhelming. Space is open yet intimate farm house style. Vibrant atmosphere indoors. On Beautiful sunny spring day you can have your lunch or brunch outdoors. Family oriented. Staff is welcoming, and professional. Yes to the sounds playing in the background. Patrons conversing with each other at their tables. Today makes it my second time here.within the week. I re order the same meal, and for the cake I'll be having the carrot cake. Ill let you know how it was next time. I

This was the first time here. The restaurant was very friendly. It felt like a neighborhood meetup area. Atmosphere was great. My meal was great and the portion was healthy!!!

I go to school up the road and this is always a place I go to when I want brunch with my friends or something to treat myself. Food comes out fast and is always so good. I also love their coffee, teas, and juices. It is a little pricy but like I said for a nice treat of some fresh and delicious food it's worth it.

Great place! Gets full fast! Quality food! Warm months are great cause they add outside seating!

Who are these people giving these high ratings??? Have you never had a great breakfast before??? Jackie & Son Scramble was an absolute FAIL! Cold limp eggs. 4 barely Roasted Tomato with no seasoning (salt, pepper, thyme), although there was a sprig of thyme for garnish - it would've been better if roasted with the tomato (missed opportunity). Home Fries; poorly cut potatoes. No uniform size, therefore some were cooked well, others weren't, be it over or under cooked. Not to mention, how do you serve potatoes with not a single grain of SALT! MEH! Bacon half over cooked, half under cooked and served with a handful of shredded Romaine Lettuce on top (huh???). At last, the French Toast, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! If the amount of care taken for the French Toast was used across the other items, this review would be completely different. And even though the French Toast was amazing, I won't return because I wouldn't be lucky twice to get it just as good. A total waste and let down. I feel like I just took $45 and lit a match to it.

The food here is really delicious, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Will definitely be stopping by anytime I'm in the area

Once my favorite spots. My go to orders are Grains of Nazareth, the chicken BLT and a smoothie or a juice. 10/10 food and service every time.

Wow. I'm surprised I have not reviewed Jackie and Son yet. This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite restaurant in then area. Their blueberry pancakes are the best pancakes I ever had in my life and I'm a pancake purist, usually don't even like blueberries or chocolate chips in mine. The butter syrup, the texture, the flavor. Oh my god. Just out of this world. I'm currently pregnant and have craved and had it multiple times. My husband says all I ever talk about is Jackie and Son's blueberry pancakes. Other dishes are also delicious. Their fries are so good! I've had an eggs breakfast, so tasty. I just love everything about Jackie and Son. I'm a regular!

Omg, this place is absolutely delicious. We got a bench outside. It was beautiful day to do just that. My friend ordered the French toast, which looked and tasted absolutely amazing. I ordered the avocado toast. Very flavorful without it being salty. Got a Power Twist juice. I also ordered a scallion cheddar scone. I wish this would've been warmed up a little. Downside, is that it doesn't have servers who take your order. The tables outside are benches, so you're sitting with other people, which is not necessarily my jam. The staff is friendly, those who actually bother to make eye contact and acknowledge my presence. I Had questions about the baked goods and was fully ignored twice. The food quality and outweighs any negative, and don't be scared by the long line. It moves fast and the food is ready in a timely manner. Would definitely go back to try other stuff!!

a bit expensive but yummy. food is excellent, service is relatively quick, and decor is great. really welcoming and modern.

Always yum, food is consistently delish. Service is always friendly. Place appears clean and well maintained. A tad pricey but ingredients are worth it.

Right on the corner in downtown South Orange. Gets busy due to proximity to SHU. its a favorite of the locals and college kids. Can have a wait during peak times so call ahead if possible. During the summer they have outdoor seating. They do breakfast and lunch. Food is American meets Mediterranean. love the grains of nazareth, lentil soup and Smoothies. baked goods are great as well. highly recommend!

Came here for a brunch date and loved it. There was a line but it moved super quickly. We ordered the breakfast burrito, avocado blt, and the chicken gyro. Also for coffee and a slice from the baked goods section. Everything was fantastic and the service was also lovely. Will be returning!

Jackie and Sons has the best French toast hands down. I also enjoy their truffle fries. My top recommendation when visiting this restaurant. The ambiance is friendly and inviting. You can bring your laptop to work (although it does get pretty loud when it's busy) or you can chat for hours with your friends.

Great local breakfast shop in town. I come here often and only had a small incident once in which they addressed immediately. My favorites are the scones and pancakes. My family also enjoy their bacon egg and cheese and French toast. I've had their chicken shawrma wrap too that was delicious. Overall great place

It's always a pleasure coming here. The service is always so pleasant and the food is delish. I try to make sure I order something different everytime but the French Toast is my go-to any day. A nice ambiance and good food is always a plus.

Good brunch! Gets crowded. Lots of options. Chai latte- with rose pedals! Jackie omelette - love those truffle fries Shashuka- very good
