Decent vegan breakfast spot

The vegan huevos were pretty good. The tortillas have a nice crisp to them. Their drip coffee was also quite nice. It felt like the meal could use a side to be more filling, and better justify the price. Also, no vegan options for dinner which is sad.

Pros: Pretty tasty vegan options, Good texture of the food, Better than average drip coffee

Cons: No vegan options at dinnertime, Portions were a bit small

Unexpected find

We stopped in on a road trip and were happily surprised! It seems their vegan menu has shrunk in recent years when compared to some of the previous menus posted on here, but still nice to have options in an area with not much else.

Pros: Vegan breakfast! , Large portions, we took leftovers

Cons: No options on the lunch menu, Can get busy!

They close at 3:00PM M-S

They would not serve us because we arrived at 2:15 PM even though they close at 3 PM. They said we were too close to the closing time to be served and give them zero stars I would.

Hit or miss

We have gotten food from here many times over the last couple years and overall the food is delicious. The portion sizes for what you pay are great. They have a dedicated menu section for their vegan breakfast options which is amazing. However when ordering take-out, some drawbacks include hateful staff and orders are often incorrect. We receive much better service when we sit down and eat, so will likely only do that from now on.

Vegan Breakfast!

Vegan breakfast can be hard to find but I love it here! Very flavorful and filling. When I went this time around their vegan menu was very small though only 3 items.

Great breakfast place with tons of vegan and gluten-free options

We went here for breakfast yesterday; heard good things but were still pleasantly surprised. Mon amie was thrilled with the Vegan Millionaires Bacon and the Vegan Huevos Rancheros. To top it off, oat milk for his latte. We will be back! And ask for Marla, she keeps your coffee cup full!

We went back again to check out their lunch menu, and my boyfriend highly recommends the vegan tacos with Just Egg.

This time, my boyfriend had the vegan omelet, which he didn’t remember seeing on the menu before, and he said it was very good. I had the huge glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, which was pricey ($5.99) but oh so good!



J’s has cut back on some of their vegan items but they added pineapple upside down pancakes that are vegan and gluten-free and to die for. Go order these NOW before they are all gone!

Good food poor management

My wife and I went today as we go to J's dinner once or twice a month. I ordered the vegan breakfast tacos. When the order came they were made with eggs not vegan eggs. So I sent them back. The waitress brought the exact same non vegan eggs back. And said they say these are vegan. As a vegan I can smell regular eggs. So I told her it's ok I don't want them. I will just eat the side of potatoes. About ten minutes later they brought them back. This time they were vegan eggs. I told them I didn't want them.
They said they wanted to make it right. So when the bill comes it is full price. I asked the waitress to remove the Taco from the bill. She cames back with a 10% discount. So I asked for the manager.

He comes over and was very argumentative and insisted they were vegan eggs. And told me if I had a issue with their vegan eggs to next time get the potatoes only.
This was a restaurant that my wife and I had come to every weekend. Even after the portion sizes dropped. And the prices increased by about 4 dollars per entree. And another time only 50% of the Taco was filled. I can over look many of the previous issues. But I can't overlook the way he treated me and ruined my dining experience. We will never be back to your restaurant. You need to learn the number one rule of business. The customer is always right. He could have said you know what we messed up sorry about that. And took it off the bill. Instead he was argumentative and disrespectful. I was respectful the whole time even though he was not.

My wife's non vegan food was good. But she said after that she is done with them also.

Pros: They have about 4 vegan options

Cons: A bit expensive

Delicious vegan breakfast!

I’ve been vegan for over 10 years and the Seitan Steak Burrito and side of rice at J’s Diner is one of my top favorites! They also have delicious breakfast tacos made with vegan Just Egg. The avocado toast was eh- edible but nothing fantastic. Great vibe and nice service. You will NOT be disappointed by stopping here.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Items clearly marked, Nice atmosphere

Cons: No vegan pancakes or waffles

They have actual vegan options

The front page of the breakfast menu has a whole section of vegan options. Vegan mung bean tacos, vegan mung bean huevos rancheros and seitan steak burrito with mung bean eggs.

Excellent breakfast

Had the vegan breakfast tacos and the vegan huevos rancheros - both terrific - and a side of fresh squeezed orange juice. Best breakfast of our trip!
