I have a soft spot for breakfast diners. I came here weeks ago with a friend of mine who was from out of town who wanted to shoot the shit and just chill. She was staying in the New West area, therefore, it was easier for her to stay in the area then go Downtown which is understandably. I found this place initially on Google using the search "breakfast diner New West" which lead me to some of these reviews here on Yelp.
The ambiance is your typical diner feel, simple and laid back.
The prices are very reasonable for what it is, as breakfasts should be.
I had a long list of specifications in accordance to my eating plan. I appreciate the waitress was patient with me in making certain accommodations.
I got the basic of soft poached eggs, toast and side hash half order.
My girlfriend got the Farmer's Breakfast which reminds me of the Grand Slam...but better quality. -

We hadn't been back in a while -- now I know why. The lighting is depressing -- dark and sad.
The service is non-existant. The place is small and the server walks back and forth without even making eye contact so I could get a coffee refill. There are a couple more servers gabbing at the kitchen.
The food, however, is not bad. Breakfast tasted good. The coffee tasted ok.
I'm giving this a 2 star review, because I value service AND good food. -

I haven't been to other breakfast place in New West and I am sure there are tons to try in this town but Jim's Cafe is always my go-to breakfast in New Westminster.
The expectation that they've set both on food and price is quite frankly hard to break. I mean for less than $10 you can get their Farmer's Breakfast -pretty much a Lumberjack Slam (Denny's item that's usually $14+) size breakfast plate here - plus the fact that it's much better too.
I don't know about you but I prefer diner drip coffee compared to the (insert classy roast technique name here) coffee that you get from Starbucks or other higher coffee establishments. Something about straightforward drip coffee that brings out the character of diner meals - Jim's Cafe drip coffee doesn't disappoint. The only feedback I have here is I wish the staff would constantly check the coffee levels of their customers because chances are, a drip coffee this impressive won't last too long in their issued small cups.
Their pancakes are alright, I find them a little pricey at $3 per pancake. Doesn't bother me though because I'm usually full already just by ordering Farmer's breakfast. I probably wouldn't go here if your craving pancakes.
Parking is ample but since the location is in New West's downtown core, you'd have to pay. Ive been here 3 times on weekends and holidays and I never seen it full, but then again I went after 2PM lol.
Overall I'd keep coming here for breakfast for sure. -

Very good diner style brunch food. Got the regular breakfast and the sausage and hash browns were the highlights. They do the regular breakfast well, but f you want something more unique this is not the place to do that.

I got the Denver omelette and coffee ! Such a big portion and delicious breakfast food. Also it's probably one of the most budget-friendly breakfast place.
