    We had Bulgogi Fiesta and Singapore pizza. It was a fantastic combination 👏 Owner chef and staff are also super kind.

    We had a delicious brunch here. The food is freshly prepared to order and the servings are ample. We loved the variety on our breakfast special plate. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the waffle was delish, the brioche bun was light and airy, the bacon and sausage were top notch. The coffee was good. The whole experience was great! We will be back!

    Love this place so much! My favs are the Seafood ramen and Gochujang pulled pork sandwhich. The staff are really realllyyyy nice. Good vibes all around. First review: Got the bulgogi kimchi burger! Amazing and under $15. Update, went back: the seafood ramen was UNREAL good. And the matcha latte was sweet which I don’t usually like but this was an exception. Amazing. Update: tried the bingsu … sooo good!!

    J's Cafe and Bistro is a great place for lunch or breakfast. The menu is simple, but oh my god, it is delicious. The bistro menu is Asian style but with modifications. The owner is very friendly and nice. He came to our table to see if everything was good. The bistro has a very live and friendly vibe. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. We ordered the vegetarian wrap, which is my favorite wrap now. It came with a side salad. We also ordered a bento box, which was good but not as good as the wrap. The price is great compared to other competitors in the market. I will definitely go back to this place, and I really recommend trying it if you are like me sick of the same boring brunch menu everywhere else. 🥰😍🥰

    This little “gem” we found on our second day in Kelowna and it did not disappoint. The friendly staff make exceptional drinks and food. We went on four separate occasions as we loved it. You have to go here!!

    I have been here numerous times and the food is always AMAZING. The staff are super kind and sweet, they consistently invent and add new things to the menu. Which sucks for me because its always so fricken good, i never know what to order!

    Our sons told us about J’s on Wednesday. We tried it Friday, and had to go back Saturday. I had the J’s burger and cold dalgona tea Friday. I don’t normally order burgers, but it was very tasty, very messy but worth it. The tea was so good! The next day I had the spicy pulled pork wonchos, and cold dalgona coffee. I’m glad it’s downtown and I’m not, otherwise I would be eating at J’s all the time!

    It's hard to find original places in Kelowna, but J's Cafe is one I've come back to several times. The prices are good, the menu has exciting and unique fusion dishes, the flavours are bold and comforting. The coffees I've tried are delicious iced or hot and are affordable compared to other coffee shops in the downtown core. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and the food is always freshly prepared but not a long wait for your order. It's worth heading down a block or two outside the main drag to check out this hidden gem. I recommend the butter cream latte, the UFO beef burger, the wonchos (wonton nachos), and the dosirak bento boxes.

    I loved everything here! The vibe, decoration, kind staff, and simple but effective food design. We ordered a breakfast bulgogi sandwich and a bulgogi bento box, both of which were interesting. Overall, both foods had sweet tastes, which I don’t really like, but I know every cuisine has its signature taste, and the sweetness might be a usual Korean cuisine taste! Gonna be back here to try desserts 🍨

    J's Cafe is our number one breakfast spot whenever we are in Kelowna! Their Egg Drop sandwiches are what dreams are made of. Thank you for your great service every time we stop by. See you next year!

    I love this place. The menu is unique, fun, and delicious. I tried the strawberry and mushroom egg drop sandwich the first three times I ate here - it’s just that good. I’ve now finally have branched out and have been very happy with everything I’ve tried. The BBQ chicken bento is really tasty, very filling, with lots of cool flavour combos. And the service is always fun and professional. :)

    Interesting food. Came across this place by accident. Had the Very Berry Strawberry Bingsu. Lots of other choices. Or you can just have a coffee here. But I bet you'll try something when your here. Online menu. You can also order on Skip the Dishes

    Cute little cafe. Interesting and unique menu, bit of something for everyone. We got a dessert as well but we ate it before I took a picture. The dessert was worth a trip all by itself - it's a big, unique and looks very pretty. Perfect for an informal date!

    Delicious food and friendly service. We really enjoyed the sandwiches and coffees! We got the bacon egg drop sandwich, bulgogi and cheese egg drop sandwich, and the J's Classic Breakfast Plate, as well as a variety of coffees. They have the option for oat milk or dalgona, but no option for skim milk (or similar instead of the standard 2% for lattes), which was a preference for one of the people in my group. Definitely a worthy find and so tasty!! Coming back here for sure!

    What a great little lunch place family owned restaurant. Was trying to find something locally owned and support them. Very friendly staff and the food was very delicious. They got Korean bento box, sandwiches, burgers, brunch, breads, and little bit of everything. Not stuck with 1-2 choices. We got two bento boxes. One with bulgogi bento and other one was pulled pork bento. They were both very delicious. Highly recommended

    J and his team are incredibly happy to serve and make you feel at home in their restaurant. I had never eaten there before and decided to get their burger. It actually blew my mind how good it was! One of the best burgers I've had in town in a long time. Thanks, J for creating a warm and inviting environment, and then knocking it out of the park with your food!

    J's Café is a cozy and chill café-bistro, and I love how bright the place is when I visit it. The owner is friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Singapore Granchio Linguine and I asked if they could remove the clams. They did, and replaced the clams with vegetables which I really enjoyed! The whole pasta was so good, I can't wait to try these amazing seafood flavours harmonized with mushroom and tomatoes again. The croiffle (croissant waffle) was so crunchy at the exterior and soft inside once bitten into. The ice cream, strawberries, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream make it a perfect item. It's a great dessert! I recommend these two orders!!!!

    Good lord. Have you ever had an egg drop sandwich? I hadn’t until coming here and I can’t believe I’ve lived my entire life without trying one until now. Prices are great, location is so cute, service excellent. While I waited for my sandwich I saw plate after plate of amazing-looking food come out the kitchen: pizza, noodles - everything looked amazing. I can’t wait to go back. The only downside was the extreme condensation on the windows - it was cool outside and warm in and the windows were really wet with condensation and it seemed like maybe the air circulation isn’t great. But who cares, look at this amazing sandwich.

    Best Korean ramen I've ever had! The broth had flavor layers, and the noodles are perfect texture. Great portion size to value. Friendly staff and cozy environment. Keep it up 👏
