Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- If the line is too long grab a seat at the counter. That way you can see Jim's Coffee Shop's line cooks in action. Also enjoy Jim's Coffee Shop's self serve coffee outside while you wait to be seated. Once you are seated the service is friendly and fast

Favorite Brunch Spot!
by spalmer8 at Citysearch
Why hasn't Jim's been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? The food and service is always great. I seem to only go here in the morning and afternoon, but every meal so far has been wonderful. I have been eating at their establishment at least once a month for the past 12 years.

The best breakfast place in the bay area.
by Ellatha at Citysearch
Ive been to lots of restuarants in the bay are and none compare to huge proportions of quality food put on one plate for such a low price. This b l o w s any other breakfast place out of the water. Definatly the best place around. The service is excellent! the food comes right away...i dont know how they do it.
- Pros: Huge portions of food at a reasonable price/Great service/Everything! try the dinner menu it will b l o w ur mind how great it can be also
- Cons: i cant find one thing wrong.

Great breakfast and lunch place
by cocol100 at Citysearch
Jims seems to be the hub of Alameda breakfast fare. It's the place to go for weekend breakfast...and I know why. The food is great! Yeah, it can be crowded, and you'll have to wait on weekends to get in (usually no more than 20 minutes or so) but the food quality and value make up for it. Highly recommend the Chili Verde Omelet, pork chops, sandwiches, and any breakfast item. It's family owned and their staff is their extended family. So it's sorta like a home environment in a large diner out of the 40's...with great food. Highly recommended.

Good Eats
by m_violet at Citysearch
The food is fresh and real, the portions are enormous (I'm serious, the pork chops and eggs were 3 eggs and two huge chops!), the menu extensive. I've had better hotcakes but this is nice, solid, breakfast fare.
Nothing fancy here, but very solid. The line cooks really know their stuff and are happy to accomodate even on the busiest Sunday brunch.
But the best thing on the menu? Their Chicken Casear Salad!
Housemade dressing, not too garklicky and a full, perfectly grilled, fresh chicken breast for under $10. Tell them to skip the crummy pre-packaged croutons and ask for their bread instead.
I dine 5 star pretty often but I still have a Jim's chicken ceasar once a week. It's that good!
I enjoy the lack of pretense and none of that hokey fake 50's diner garbage, just solid American meals and some really nice Greek additions.
- Pros: Chicken Ceasar! GREAT service, Solid Diner Fare
- Cons: A little greasy at times
