      Another neighborhood hidden gem. Great little old diner. You could tell they pay no attention to the decor but all the love and care to their food and customers.

      We ordered a Denver Omelette, and a burger with chicken noodle soup. Everything is really good. I love a good hash brown and the hash browns here have me hooked. Even the burger Nd the chicken noodle soup were delicious.

      I'd highly recommend!

      Our go to for good ol' diner breakfast. Don't expect anything fancy. Old decor, seats, and tables but the food is good and reasonably priced. We always forget to take a photo because we immediately inhale the food upon arrival.

      Service is decent, no chitter chatter, they take your order and you get the food. I do see them chatting a bit to their regulars though. They're quite friendly.

      Denver omelette 5/5. Big fluffy portion packed with filling. Comes with their ridiculously crispy hash browns and toast.

      Super burger 5/5. I know it's a basic burger but it's done right. It's seasoned nicely with just the right amount of cheese, mushrooms, and other toppings. I got it with a hearty bowl of chicken noodle. I havent tried their fries yet, I should one day. I'd get this over white spot any day!

      No muss, no fuss, good old dinner vibes. We love it.

      Yo, if you're peeping for a chill spot with bomb comfort grub in New Westminster, Jim's Cafe got you covered. Nestled in the heart of the hood, this joint gives off mad cozy vibes the moment you step in. The setup's legit, with rustic swag and staff that's all about spreading love.

      Now, let's talk grub. Jim's Cafe ain't playin' when it comes to the menu. They serving up classics done right. From killer breakfast options like fluffy pancakes and eggs benedict to lunch joints like bomb sandwiches and salads, they got it all. And yo, their coffee game? Straight fire.

      In the end, Jim's Cafe holdin' it down in New West's food scene. Whether you're lookin' for a quick bite or wanna chill for a minute, you'll be straight. With its chill vibe and bomb grub, it's no surprise Jim's Cafe got the hood's stamp of approval.

      Food: 3.5 Stars
      Service: 5 Stars
      Value: 4 Stars

      The good reviews are no accident: this place has good food, decent portions and still manages good service even with the busy atmosphere and "roadhouse place" feel.

      There's breakfast dishes that not many other places do, notably the corned beef hash. Their vegetarian breakast was pretty filling. They get the eggs right. My only complaint - a common one from this type of place- food was on the salty side.

      Service was great desite it being busy. One of the more spacious booths cleared up and they offered to move us into it, aware that my partner had mobility issues.

      Hole in the wall mom and pop diner. Great place to grab a hearty breakfast for a good deal. Service is friendly, portions are big and food comes fast.

      Food wasn't too oily and they take credit cards.

      Cozy place. A welcoming "Hello" when we entered, even though Jim's was bustling. Within minutes hot tea wasserved in a pot atop the cup. Warming the cup makes all the difference in the world! The scrambled eggs were light & tasty, bacon crispy, the sourdough toast was flavourful. Floor is carpeted so the noise didn't get out of hand the way it does in some places. JIM'S CAFE 6th st. was right up my alley!!

      We hadn't been back in a while -- now I know why. The lighting is depressing -- dark and sad.
      The service is non-existant. The place is small and the server walks back and forth without even making eye contact so I could get a coffee refill. There are a couple more servers gabbing at the kitchen.

      The food, however, is not bad. Breakfast tasted good. The coffee tasted ok.
      I'm giving this a 2 star review, because I value service AND good food.

      I have a soft spot for breakfast diners. I came here weeks ago with a friend of mine who was from out of town who wanted to shoot the shit and just chill. She was staying in the New West area, therefore, it was easier for her to stay in the area then go Downtown which is understandably. I found this place initially on Google using the search "breakfast diner New West" which lead me to some of these reviews here on Yelp.

      The ambiance is your typical diner feel, simple and laid back.

      The prices are very reasonable for what it is, as breakfasts should be.

      I had a long list of specifications in accordance to my eating plan. I appreciate the waitress was patient with me in making certain accommodations.

      I got the basic of soft poached eggs, toast and side hash half order.

      My girlfriend got the Farmer's Breakfast which reminds me of the Grand Slam...but better quality.

      I haven't been to other breakfast place in New West and I am sure there are tons to try in this town but Jim's Cafe is always my go-to breakfast in New Westminster.

      The expectation that they've set both on food and price is quite frankly hard to break. I mean for less than $10 you can get their Farmer's Breakfast -pretty much a Lumberjack Slam (Denny's item that's usually $14+) size breakfast plate here - plus the fact that it's much better too.

      I don't know about you but I prefer diner drip coffee compared to the (insert classy roast technique name here) coffee that you get from Starbucks or other higher coffee establishments. Something about straightforward drip coffee that brings out the character of diner meals - Jim's Cafe drip coffee doesn't disappoint. The only feedback I have here is I wish the staff would constantly check the coffee levels of their customers because chances are, a drip coffee this impressive won't last too long in their issued small cups.

      Their pancakes are alright, I find them a little pricey at $3 per pancake. Doesn't bother me though because I'm usually full already just by ordering Farmer's breakfast. I probably wouldn't go here if your craving pancakes.

      Parking is ample but since the location is in New West's downtown core, you'd have to pay. Ive been here 3 times on weekends and holidays and I never seen it full, but then again I went after 2PM lol.

      Overall I'd keep coming here for breakfast for sure.
