Super cozy place with great service. The food is SO GOOD and prices are fair. Chances are that you will arrive and have to wait but Janelle's will note your number and call it as soon as a table is available. The waiting time is totally worth it, you won't regret. It feels like you are in someone's home

It's like going to your best friend's living room for brunch. Janelle works behind the counter and is warm, friendly and the food is yummy. Actually drinking coffee with real cups. Little touches like a little piece of paper for your spoon after you mix your coffee. The place can be busy though so plan / call ahead! There's like 4-5 tables.

Tiny but absolutely lovely breakfast spot in the Little Italy neighborhood. The vibes are delightfully relaxing and the staff is so friendly. Food-wise, we enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and the smoked salmon & eggs. The soup we got was also amazing. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Ideally, group sizes of 1-2 would be best. A strong recommend for anyone in the neighborhood.

Janelle’s Kitchen was one of the most pleasant breakfast experiences I’ve had in this city. Every dish we ordered tasted like it was made with love, especially the French toast and the crepe! The atmosphere is amazing, and the staff was so lovely and welcoming! I’m looking forward to becoming a usual visitor and trying everything on the menu!

Super cozy and very yummy!! My husband and I went for breakfast and got a seat right by the window. It’s usually pretty packed because the seating is limited, however the atmosphere is lovely. Jenelle was accommodating and friendly and the food was fresh and tasty. Portions are on the smaller side, but it’s perfect for a quick breakfast and filled us up nicely:)

It's a small but very quaint cafe that makes a great breakfast. It feels like your kitchen nook. Friendly service, quality preparation, and ingredients. Excellent Americano coffee. And just for fun, they also have their own "Southern Accents" line of hot sauces, pastes, spices, and cornbread mix.
