Jinky's Cafe - Santa Monica

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 so good. It takes your mind off of earthly matter.

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!!

Wow! This place gives you A LOT of food! What a great breakfast spot to stop and eat before walking over to the pier.

This weekend was my first time eating at Jinky’s and it was great. We actually ate there two days in a row as the first day was a success with both the adults and children in the group. The pancakes and waffles satiated the kids and the other options had us adult pleased. The hostess and serving staff were great. The first day we ate was a Saturday at 9am and we didn’t have to wait for a table. The next day was Sunday at 8am and again we didn’t have to wait. The place was fully but we were still well serviced and didn’t have to wait for any request. Great place for breakfast, they also offer lunch items but I didn’t try any of those foods so I have no opinion on that. Great place to eat.

I would like to say a good word for this place: Whenever I have come here to work, through the overfilling and absence of outlets in the coffee bean on the promenade, I usually enjoyed their coffee and atmosphere, and I appreciate the little creamers and milk. But the lighting could be improved to feel less ominous, install a few brighter overheads. Personally, I feel like the manager who spends a lot of his time in the back room on the snack shelves is one of the reasons why I? m set from this place: with a rather grim older man you come gesturing with car keys and say you can only be there for an hour somehow restrictive?( The last time I was here, I stayed about an hour or so, but he didn't come out to confront me and tell me I had to go?!? The ordinary Barista/Cashier fellow is at least much more friendly. The glass tables are also a problem as I usually worry about the small particles and MANY of them are scratched or chipped. Instead, set wooden tables, disappoint this almost 90 minutes limit, and I would be more open to come back here in the future.
