Reviews for Jinky's Cafe in Santa Monica, CA
Come early on weekends to avoid waiting. Only around 5 tables outside, but lots more inside. We had french toast, which was... really good, and the Chili supreme, which was good but not excellent. The orange juice was pricey for its size. The staff isvery nice. They have a huge a bit too complicated menu, which could be overwhelming if you have decision-anxiety. Read more
The breakfast, chili, lunch menu is vast and there are many yummy options~ I love their Fiesta Bowl which has lime cilantro... rice topped with diced grilled chicken, black beans, tomatoes, tomatoes and shredded lettuce and more! It's so good! My friendordered the scrambled egg whites with zucchini and other green veggies with avocado for a healthy option. On this visit they nolonger have the Iced Green Tea, although it was still on their menu. I hope they bring it back! There is a small protectedoutdoor patio seating area. Park inside the Santa Monica parking structure. The first 90 minutes are free! Noise level gets abit loud. We arrived around 9am and we were seated immediately. By 10am it was getting crowded on this Sunday morning. Read more
Amazing new vegan options! This is the first restaurant I've seen that had vegan Just Egg on the menu! They can change any... scramble or omelette into vegan style, and they also have vegan cheese, veggie patty and Soyrizo! Breakfast is impossible ifyou're a vegan, so I'm super thrilled to see what Jinky's has done to update their menu! I will definitely be back. Everythingwas super flavorful and the wait staff was fantastic! Read more
Omg. I wish I had more time in Santa Monica because I need to keep coming back here to try things on their menu. It was a tough... decision, but I went with the croissant sandwich and tater tots, my boyfriend went for their spiced grilled shrimp and Mexicanpizza, and we were both BEYOND satisfied. Our server was so kind and attentive, and was ready to recommend all kinds of thingson the menu to narrow it down for us. We had a great experience here, and their outdoor patio is great for people watching.Highly recommend stopping here if you're near the beach/promenade area! Read more
All the way from Louisiana!! Great food. Excellent service. I had the breakfast special, it was delicious & came fast. The... frozen strawberry lemonade was delicious. The coffee was delicious also. Very nice people!! Read more
Ordered latte, a smoothie, and a croissant. A fantastic win for a beautiful Sunday trip to Santa Monica Pier!! Special mention... needed regarding the gourmet food here. The butter croissant was a very exceptional treat. I have never had any croissant sogood. It takes your mind off of earthly matter. Read more
It was our last day in LA and we couldn?t have decided on a great Breakfast/Brunch spot. Also it?s close enough to the pier... where you can just walk down the road and enjoy the sites or better yet ride a bike. - Back to the food. Probably ordered waytoo much than we can handle, but everything off the menu sounded amazing and idk when?s the next time I will be in LA. Theprices aren?t too bad at all either. Will definitely return here. Read more
