We don 't mind paying extra to support local however in return we expect to have a decent meal. We each ordered a soup and sandwich, which took nearly 30 min to get, and there was only 1 order in front of us. The Cowboy sandwich had 1 tiny piece of thin sliced roast beef, not enough to cover half of the bread. The grilled cheese sandwich barely had any cheese in it, I actually opened it up to see if they forgot to put cheese in the grilled cheese. We were both terribly disappointed in the sandwiches. Top shelf prices for cheap sandwiches with hardly anything in them. I would have been embarrassed to serve that to customers. Worse than the sandwiches was the soup. It was the smallest 'cup ' of soup I have ever seen, and it was $5. I make pickle soup and have had it in a few restaurants, the pickle soup at Jef 's Cafe was the absolute worst attempt at pickle soup, so terrible I didn 't eat it. There was no dill, cream or potato in the soup, just a shredded sour mess. They should be embarrassed so serve slop like that. The cook should read a pickle soup recipe before they try to serve that again. I 'm not sure how they remain in business serving food like that. The only positive thing I can say is the latte is good.

I enjoyed the experience of filling out a sheet to customize my sandwich with my choice of bread, spread, filling, cheese, and extras. It was easy and I received exactly what I wanted. The staff were friendly and happy. The decor was lovely, with unique touches that added personality and character to the cafe. The restaurant was clean throughout, including the bathrooms which were also fresh-smelling. I highly recommend this place for a coffee and pastry or for lunch.
