Jack Jill Cafe - Greytown

The atmosphere when we arrived was fantastic, and I can see why this place attracts so many customers. It has a spacious and cozy vibe. We ordered lunch and drinks, and our drinks arrived quickly. The milkshakes came out especially fast, and the coffee wait was reasonable considering how busy it was. They even refunded us when they mistakenly forgot our food and kept us waiting for a while—now that's what I call good service! The food was quite good for the price, with no skimping on the ingredients. The portions were satisfactory and the flavors were spot on. I really enjoyed it!

Had the Eggs Benedict with an Americano. Best eggs bene I've ever had! Bread was fluffy and light, eggs were poached to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was superb. Coffee was yummy to. Only critique would be to add something green to the dish to give more colour. Service was good as well. Definitely can't wait to return!

Marginal food and bad service. We went there yesterday on our way through Greytown to get some lunch. Since it was a holiday (January 2nd , the place was busy with only a few tables left. The coffee arrived relatively quickly, but we waited for 55 minutes before we got our food. By this time the cafe had all but emptied and apart from two other tables everybody else had left. The quality of the food was marginal the first time my daughter refused to eat fish and chips. As a family of four we were planning to share the meals around and asked specifically about serving sizes when we ordered. Fish and chips doesn 't exactly call for expensive ingredients, so when we were told that the serving size was substantial and good enough for sharing we took their word for it. Unfortunately, two small pieces of fish and (literally! two dozen chips doesn 't count as a substantial serving in my book. In the end we ended up feeding the biscuits we had with us to the kids as lunch. What I found especially grating during this visit was the fact that another couple ordered right before us and were served much quicker (they had long left when we got our food . They were greeted personally by the proprietor and when their food hadn 't arrived after a while, he personally came to their table to apologise for the wait and ordered them complimentary drinks to make for it. We received no attention at all during our wait for the food just dirty looks from the staff when we dared to ask how much longer it would take after having waited for 45 minutes. Needless to say that everybody stayed away from us after dropping the food on our table after another 10 minute wait completely forgetting that there wasn 't enough cutlery for everybody. I can see how this place runs their business: They keep the locals happy by giving them special treatment and rip off travellers who won 't return no matter how bad the service.

I truly had the best vegetable torte I've ever tasted! It had a wonderful mix of flavors and was perfectly seasoned. My dining companion enjoyed his sausage roll, and the bowl of wedges we shared was equally delicious. The coffee was great as well. I really appreciated the minimalist interior and found the staff to be lovely and friendly.

It's a great spot to stop if you're passing through Greytown. The Garbage Fries were good, although the fries seemed to have been cut with an apple slicer. They could have used a bit more pulled pork on top. The Kumara Croquette was tasty as well. On the pricier side, though, as the cabinet slices were quite small and priced at $4.50. The building itself is nice—very large and spacious, but it managed to feel warm and inviting.
