Great brunch spot with all kinds of delicious breakfast and lunch options. Excellent coffee drinks, full bar, and seasonal outdoor tables make this a boozy brunch option. And it's reasonably priced.

Don't fear! The sugar for your coffee is in the unmarked hot sauce bottle. :) Also, the staff is super friendly, and free Wi-Fi is available. Sadly, the wifi signal is very spotty.

LOVE Janik's. Very straight-forward, tasty food. I've had the waffle, tuna melt, biscuits and gravy, and french toast, all were SUPES tasty. :]] add choco chips to your waflle, nom.

Great breakfast, but not light. I had a fried chicken benny with gravy, she had a burrito. Loved them both.

The chicken lime soup is soooo tasty! Definitely a must order during the winter (or for delivery as a hangover cure)

The price is right. Also, the french toast comes with a white sauce that makes it taste like Cinnabon omg

Ask for a coffee to go, free of charge if you had a coffee with your meal!

Diet sized portions. Just enough to satisfy my craving for comfort food - steak and eggs plus hash browns (see pic) - and not ruin my medically-ordered diet.

Janik's may have the friendliest owners and staff of any cafe in the city. Ask them how their day is going.
