Usually pretty good service but Saturday Nov ordered from the menu waited three quarters of an hour and while everyone that came in long after us had their meal in no time. When I enquired about our order the girl never bothered to come back with an answer so disappointed as the service is usually pretty good so we left. View all feedback.

We visit Cafe Cuba almost every Sunday evening for dinner with the kids. The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. I have never been disappointed.

Thoroughly unimaginative and disappointing food. The french toast burger is a pitifully small white bread bun from a bulk pack and not worth 17 bucks....

Café Jacko has garnered a reputation for its delicious food and friendly atmosphere, but recent visits reveal a patchy experience. While many patrons rave about the consistently tasty breakfast options and attentive staff, others express disappointment due to slow service and a lack of knowledge regarding dietary restrictions, particularly for those with celiac disease. Despite these issues, guests appreciate the café’s community spirit and involvement in initiatives like Kind Hearts. Overall, Café Jacko remains popular, with loyal customers hopeful for improvements in service and dietary accommodations.
