Great local spot. Food is fresh and locally sourced. Service is amazing. The owners and their mother are always on premise which shows a wonderful pride in ownership.
Awesome chill spot, fried chicken was delicious. The setting was very peaceful & cozy, awesome place to chill with your friends… Definitely recommend, gotta check out the spot for yourself….
First time here. Stopped in for a late breakfast and wanted to give it a try. The cafe is nicely decorated with a modern feel. Nice staff and service with some indoor and outdoor seating and street parking. We went with the west end breakfast sandwich on a bagel and also wanted to try their avocado toast that comes with scrambled eggs. We also ordered a knish to see how other items are. Their menu is very limited and considering the limited choices I was expecting mind blowing food. The knish was decent and as expected. I don't think it was homemade but it tasted fine. The west end egg sandwich was just ok. First off the bagel was chewy. I know bagels need to be soft and chewy but this was chewy to a point that you had to pull at the bagel to bite off a piece in your mouth. It was odd and I never had a bagel like that. Maybe it was microwaved which made it chewy? Unsure. The egg and cheese and turkey bacon was ok and overall I guess the sandwich was just ok but definitely nothing special. The avocado toast was disappointing. For the price that you pay I was expecting a lovely smashed avocado spread and maybe some other toppings but instead it was just sliced avocado on plain Texas toast with scrambled eggs plopped on top and some spices added on the eggs to make it southwest I guess. I was expecting a lovely fresh baked bread or French bread with some mashed avocado and onion or tomato with some light greens and scrambled eggs or a choice of egg cooked the way you like it. It was so basic and simple with no effort put into the presentation or the food. There was nothing special or memorable about the food in any way. I don't think it was worth the 7.50 price I paid for avocado on plain Texas toast. Simple can be good but when it is simple it needs to be elevated to a higher level to make it special. I did not try any of their desserts or specialty treats so unsure how they are. I was not thrilled by the food and was expecting so much more from this cafe and I feel the money I spent was Definitely not worth the food we received. Unsure if I will try again. Needs improvements !
Clean, pretty space with friendly staff but the drip coffee just isn’t good. It tastes like extremely dilute cold brew, which would make sense since a lot of their drinks are based on cold brew rather than real espresso
First time here and love the vibe inside! The food is made to order and couldn't be better! All day breakfast ?
Jenny's kuali had an awesome pop-up today here. We enjoyed it very much.Jay's local was a wonderful host in its very nice and clean building.
My wife and I live in Virginia. Every time we visit my family in Allentown we visit Jay’s Local. We love the hospitality, food, service, and most of all the vibe. We have yet to have anything but a perfect experience.The Local burger is fantastic and a must have!We will continue to return time and time again.
Good Food, Great Vibe! Ambience is modern and inviting, food came out quick and inexpensive! Will definitely be back ?
One of the great coffee shops where you can sit and have a quick bite in the Lehigh Valley and one of the only ones at the moment in Allentown, PA!
Friendly staff and great food! A cozy, welcoming place to sit and catch up with a friend or get some work done on your laptop :) I look forward to coming back!
