Jitters Cafe

Years ago, when I was a college student, I frequented this coffee shop often. It was fairly new then, sparkling clean, and employees were friendly. Now, I meet friends here once every 3 or 4 months for coffee, lunch, and chitchat. Overall, it's meh now. Employees clearly feel inconvenienced by orders and overtly annoyed by questions and the shop would not suffer from some deep cleaning.

We were looking for a place besides your big chains for a good coffee drink and a quick bite. Came here and found exactly what we wanted. Cheddar maple sandwich and the South western get 2 thumbs up. I also liked that they had many flavors to really customize your drink.

Friendly staff, great menu. Clean and respectful of a smiling face. Very few places respect those of us who can't safely tolerate a mask but gladly social distance from other customers and staff.

Nice place to hang out. Care shown in taking your order, knowledgeably discussing the menu, preparing, and serving up your order. Not rushing you through. Everybody gets served like this. Feels like Spot or Java's but serving it's own local community. Serving hot or cold matcha green tea. Next time I'll get mine without sugar and whipped topping. A little sweet when I am used to straight matcha. Had a made to order breakfast croissant, which is always a nice option to have the late afternoon. The on-premesis homemade croissant was soft, buttery, flakey -- like I've enjoyed in Paris.

My daughter loves their oatmeal cookies, and this location is convenient for both me and my wife to stop at before or after work, or while getting ready for a long road trip. The employees are always friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. It's a wonderful place to sit and have a drink and unwind on a weekend, in the middle of errands.

Our first visit was a quiet Sunday afternoon, with only a few other patrons in the place, so the two counter attendants were helpful in telling us of their menu. We had been hiking on a chilly, damp afternoon so we tried the basic cup of coffee and shared a macaroni and cheese special. The coffee was hot and hit the spot-- good though nothing spectacular.

We had indicated we were staying to eat, but they still put my coffee into paper to-go cups, and the counter staff indicated most of their customers still prefer the disposable, and so my friend requested a mug-- tip: if you're environmentally friendly and prefer that, be certain to specify it with your order. Food is also served in disposable take-out containers as well; it likely saves staff time on washing dishes, but might chafe at the sensibilities of those who want to create less waste.

The macaroni and cheese was a vegetarian special that day, topped with southwestern black beans and tortilla strips. This was really delicious, and the bean and tortilla topping was a much better combination than I had imagined it would be. The macaroni and cheese is prepared ahead and reheated, and the toppings seem to be added afterward.

The food was cooked very quickly. It was tasty, but the preparation was a bit lacking. The mac and cheese was so hot as too need a bit of blowing on to prevent burning the tongue, but the bean topping under the tortilla strips was unfortunately not evenly heated, with the edges only warm and the center actually still cold. My sense is food is prepared off-site and reheated in microwaves for patrons at time of service. So while this was a very satisfying dish, and large enough for us to share as a light lunch, for the prices, I would have preferred better preparation.

The place was clean, quiet, and the food was good-- it's somewhere between a coffee house and a cafe, with options ranging from salads, breakfast sandwiches, wraps all the way to cookies and coffee milkshakes. From what we had, they have both decent food and coffee, but don't quite excel at either. Despite having no other customers to wait on when our food was ready, they called across the room for us to come to the counter instead of walking it to our table.

When the bill comes to $20 without tip for 2 cups of plain, brewed coffee and one small entree, tax and tip, I would expect the food preparation to be higher quality, and preferably with table service.

Jitters really does have fresh, tasty food and excellent coffee plus a great decor. That being said, I find the service to be unprofessional. Every time I went in there (I stopped going) I was completely ignored. I totally understand if an employee is busy and can't get right to me, I'm a patient person. But to stand there foolishly without an "I'll be right with you left me not wanting to return after the third time.

Great service, great atmosphere, could use some more bacon on the Bagel with bacon, egg and cheese for the price.

The prices were already high, now they are much higher for the same amount of food.

It's not that the food isn't good, it's just too expensive. Other than that, I absolutely love going there. I just won't be buying food anymore:/

If a sandwich (the Nanucket Sandwich to be specific) has onions in it, it should be stated in the menu. All the other ingredients are listed. Some allergies are serious. Ruined my visit.

Cozy little cafe! Everything about this place is just wonderful. The food is always fresh and there is a great variety to choose from. The drinks are amazing! From coffees to milkshakes, these people definitely know their stuff!
