    When it comes to brunch, Zada Jane’s is up there for me. This was my third visit & while it was a busy Sunday morning, they got us seated pretty quickly. (I do wish they took reservations for larger parties.) We all tried a variety of dishes & everything was delicious & full of flavor. I had the Bunny Rancheros (pork sausage) with a side of habanero grits and they were everything I was hoping for. The staff was friendly & accommodating! All in all a great experience yet again!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this place today! It was my first time going and I went with one of my college friends. The food was delicious and the pineapple mimosas were comprised of a splash of pineapple juice with a glass of champagne 🤣🤣🤣 I had the Billy Jack Grits, which were divine, especially if you like a lot of meat. Overall, great experience. Our waiter was the guy with the blue hair and he was outstanding. Patronize this place 😊😊😊

    Cute atmosphere and the food was decent. Our waiter was a total sweetheart and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The only thing that we didn’t like were the pancakes. It literally tasted like cinnamon (very strong cinnamon). Also it did take awhile to be greeted. We stood at the door confused for about 10 mins until we went and found someone. (This could be to many places being understaffed)

    The vibe of this place was definitely vibin! We were in town (from Columbia SC) for an E2M conference. Today was our last day. We found this place on our way out of town. We were searching for a good, non-chain restaurant for pancakes/breakfast foods. I got the Grande Quande. I think that's the correct name. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The honey butter on the pancake was so good. The seasoning on the herb potatoes was amazing. I would highly recommend this place!

    Zada Jane's is ALWAYS amazing. The food is delicious and there are enough options that you don't have to get your favorite every time. No matter what you get, if you can eat cinnamon buns then GET THE CINNAMON BUNS to start. And if you're gonna get more than 2 mimosas, just get the bottle for $3 more than 2 glasses!!! So sick on the food I forgot to mention how awesome the service is each and every time. Sage is my new favorite server there

    Wasn’t impressed with Zada Jane’s. We went for brunch. I tried the Zada’s Cinnabuns ($9.25), which were good, but I don’t feel the need to get them again. I got the Belvedere ($10.95) with the sweet potato browns as my side. I wanted the sweet potatoes to be more like hashbrowns, but they were just boiled or something. My sister also got the Belvedere and her omelet was overwhelmed with goat cheese. The overall experience was average.

    We eat breakfast out at least 3 times a week, usually more, and consider ourselves breakfast experts.. We've tried several places between Lake Norman area and Charlotte, looking for our favorite places. We have been hard pressed to find something other than the boring "bacon-eggs-hash brown-toast" options. Found one. Zada Janes Corner Cafe. On a internet tip, we both ordered the Bunny Rancheros. Wow. Fantastic. Huevos Rancheros with a delicious green sauce (thought it was unknown in NC!) and perfect cheese sauce. I included a locally farmed sausage for a whopping extra $3.95, mainly to see what was so special about it. It was worth it: Added a "crispiness" to the dish that made it perfect. And the bonus, the very warm and personal service from Jesse.

    Ryan is the most AMAZING server. We were so impressed with his service! The food was so delicious, we will definitely be back. Customer service is a dying breed, but Ryan made our first time here so much fun and welcoming! All the staff we kind and polite, but Ryan's service was next level, give him a raise! ❤️

    Food is always great! Plenty of options and vegetarian friendly. If you go early there’s usually parking in the back and no wait. More than enough staff to wait tables and happily do so. My only gripe is that after the bartender stretched into an upward dog pose, hands fully planted on the ground, did not wash them only visibly brushing dirt off them several times.

    This is such a cute place!! We are from out of town and figured to give this place a shot. They have many dairy free/vegan options. They made many accomodations for my friend with helpful suggestions. The chef Corey is so friendly and came to the table to check on us and bring the food. He truly went above and beyond!! Highly recommend this place!

    I ordered The belvedere which was a veg omelette kinda thing. Had no taste sweet potato hash doesn’t look pleasing to me. Idk if they’re supposed to look like this. They prices on their menu are different and higher then prices they charge. Not gonna recommend or go there again.

    I ate here for breakfast and it was soooo yummy! I ordered the Clint Eastwood Benedict and it was honestly the best benedict I’ve ever had. It had the perfect amount of everything on it. Service was great!

  • 5/5 Kevin and Jessica M. 6 months ago on Google
    Zada Jane’s was everything we wanted in a breakfast/brunch spot: plant based options, Bloody Mary, tofu, eggs that are humanly raised. There were many brunch spots nearby to choose from but we would return to ZJ’s again and again. My husband had the Happy Eggs scrambled eggs, soy-sage, biscuit, and roasted potatoes. I had the east-western which was a curried tofu with spinach, peas, and onions, in a wrap. So good. We ate everything! Did I mention the Bloody Mary? Their own mix topped with a pickled okra and lime. We definitely recommend if you are in the Charlotte area. P.S. We are dairy free but they offer Cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting on the weekends that a table nearby ordered, looked delicious.

    Wasn’t good to me and I ordered the most basic breakfast. The potatoes were the only thing I enjoyed. The vegan sausage wasn’t tasty at all. Not many vegan or plant based options that were appealing. Service was quick and the waitress was nice. But wouldn’t return.

  • 4/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place with cool people. Interesting brunch specials too. We had a salmon special that was delicious and priced fairly. Only downside is its hard to get a table if you come after like 9:30 AM on a weekend since they don't seem to take reservations. The inside doesn't have a lot of seating so there isn't much they can do about it. Staff are all great though.

  • 4/5 Russell H M. 1 year ago on Google
    Eclectic, unique, and flavorful breakfast experience housed in a former early 20th century laundermat, in Plaza Midwood. The "build your own omelet" was my choice. The goat cheese was the kicker! Grits, sausage, and coffee were all above expectation. It was, however, pricey. Interesting decor including a tapestry size quilt pictured below.

    Great service, interesting decor, great coffee, healthy choices of gluten free pancakes and breads, sweet potato hash…

    Food was Okay and Service was Good. Everyone was polite and helpful. Had a minor hiccup with communication on pricing of some items but issue was rectified. I'd give it another chance, maybe it was just an off day. My wife Loved Her Food tho! Try it for yourself is my recommendation.

    It was delicious! Even though it was a busy Saturday morning around 10:30, they had a table for us after a short wait. Everyone was friendly and the staff were attentive. The menu had lots of variety and they made some great Bloody Mary's!

    Yummy breakfast on the patio. Service was good and we got our food fast. Prices seemed a bit high but we all had plenty to eat and the kids Mickey pancake was a nice surprise!

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
