The food is great! Waitstaff are great! The coffee is good...I give Jake's 5 stars because I have been going there for over 20 years. The newer owner has done it well. The food stepped way way up in my opinion and the ambience has improved. They took it to the next level. So it may not be a 5 star restaurant in the typical sense - but there's no better place in town for coffee and breakfast. They make a great burger too!
The breakfast � Downtown was good. The atmosphere and staff were great. If you haven’t eaten there all ready it’s a must place to eat. �
Jake’s is the best brunch place in the area! Food is phenomenal, plenty of vegetarian options, and the atmosphere and service are always excellent. They always have creative specials and plenty of tried and true staples on the regular menu. The soft scrambled are fantastic. There is usually a bit of a wait but they have a good system and are very efficient.
Good food, tables are a bit close together. There were some food options that were not available. Service was good. Prices were decent for the portions. Drinks were outstanding, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Staff was working short and still took care of everyone efficiently. See pictures of food and menus.

Jake's is a cozy breakfast/lunch eatery on King Street in Northampton, Massachusetts. The establishment offers egg dishes, French toast, and pancakes, as well as a variety of salads, sandwiches, and burgers.
We arrived on a Friday morning just after 9:30. The place was busy, with almost all the inside tables filled, and every outside seating occupied. There were also a few seats available at the bar.
Our hostess seated us at a table indoors. We ordered mimosas and coffee as well as our meals.
The Jake's Eggs, included two eggs any style (we selected fried hard) served with home fries and toasted 3-seed sourdough. The food was well-prepared and very flavorful.
Also selected was the Basic Sandwich, with two fried eggs and a sausage patty, topped with cheddar cheese on a toasted king sized English muffin. Although the sandwich was delicious, the spices in the sausage weren't quite to my liking, Still, it was enjoyable enough that I didn't feel like removing the patty from the sandwich.
We both ordered a side of bacon, which was thick, plentiful, and pleasing. It was also not greasy, which made it all the more tasty.
The atmosphere was convivial and agreeable, which added to the pleasant experience. If you find yourself walking by one morning searching for something to eat, it would behoove you to give Jake's a try.
For several visits I've tried to find the source of the smokey good smell wafting down the street. Hint: it's not the burger place on the corner. We recommend the burger, pulled pork, and house fries (potato wedges). It's even better than it smells. It's especially nice that the staff all appear to get along well when no one is looking. My only regret is that it's not open past 3. Worth a stop!
Very cozy atmosphere. I had such a great experience chatting with the servers and even a total stranger while sitting at the bar. It's the type of place that brings out the friendliness in people with the incredible food (stuffed french toast pictured) and kind staff along with the warm environment. Management should be really proud of their staffing choices, you can really tell the servers enjoy each other's company and that's always a sign of the best places to go out to. I'll be back any time I'm in the area.
Jake's is great! I hadn't been here for a long time so I was happy to come back and find that they are still serving deliciously good and solid breakfasts. Their cappuccino is perfect along with our perfectly prepared, generous breakfast dishes. Although there was a sign that they were short of staff, service was absolutely spot on. You couldn't ask for more.
Visited right as they opened on a Monday. Staff was still getting ready for the day , fair enough. Got a coffee and a menu, but needed to flag someone down after a few minutes to get cream/sugar/spoon for it. Had hash and scrambled, the days hash was a taco beef hash, and it was very good. Eggs were chopped into bean sized pellets presumably for quick cooking. My plate came out incredibly fast and I was finished and back to my car in less than 20 minutes. Might try this place again I had heard some good things but this time it was just an OK experience. Prices were very reasonable for what you get. For anyone with mobility issues note that the restrooms are down a flight of stairs.
Wow, bloody wow is all I can say….
In town from Charleston, SC visiting my wife’s family and checked this awesome place out. The menu is huge !!! Something for every appetite. The fried oysters and shrimp were amazing and that’s from someone who lives near the beach. The drinks are incredible also. We tried the mango / strawberry margarita and it definitely didn’t disappoint so we ordered a pitcher of it.
Best of all…the prices are surprisingly low and the service was spectacular. We were treated like family as soon as we walked in and our server Kayla didn’t miss a beat.
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And 3 Thumbs Up From Us 👍👍👍
Highly recommend.
We’ll be back to check out the huge breakfast menu before we leave 😎
Jake’s is my favorite!! Alexis was my server and she was AMAZING! She answered all of my questions about the menu and provided excellent, fast service. I will definitively come back to see her
Great experience, first time here! Went on a Sunday morning, it got busy fast. But I can see why as the service was great - prompt and focused waitress, very efficient.
There were several other establishments open too, and it appeared as though people were willing to wait in line here for a bit instead of going elsewhere - that says a lot in itself!
