I sat down wanting to give JoJack's a five-star rating for all of the things that they are doing perfectly, sadly they are just off the mark of all five stars. Inside this small cafe the ambiance is relaxing and the aromas draw you in. It is a perfect place to read a book, do some last minute studying, or to chat with an old friend. The few reasons I wouldn t feeling comfortable giving JoJack s all five-stars are as follows. First off, the curb appeal is lacking, had it not been recommended I would never have thought to stop into a place that I have driven by a million times and never known was there. Next, was the wait time. I know that I was there on a Sunday (which is inherently prime-time for any brunch place) but I waited entirely too long for an eggs benedict when there were empty seats in a fairly small establishment. This brings me to my last gripe, the eggs in my benedict. I ordered eggs benedict because I enjoy the flavor profile and like to compare the presentation from place to place. The use of a toasted baguette was unique and the portion size was spot on; however, I have never had eggs poached hard when on top of a benedict, and I certainly will never order them that way now that I have endured a dry benedict. I hate to leave this on a sour note, so I will wrap up by saying that I was pleasantly surprised with the mulled cider. The use of citrus was delightful, yet not so overpowering that the cider was compromised.
