" Jack's Wife Freda is a must-visit! Their rosewater waffles made my heart sing. The waitstaff was charming, and I loved the lively atmosphere. I think they should work on managing the noise, as it can get quite overwhelming during peak hours. All in all, a delightful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I did not expect to be this impressed by a brunch spot! The menu feels authentic and offers something for everyone—whether you're a fan of Mediterranean flavors or just looking for a great coffee. My only complaint was that I wish I could have tried more on the menu; everything sounded so tempting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had brunch here last Saturday, and I was impressed! The food was fresh and creative, but I felt the portion sizes were a little on the small side. The service was attentive, but we did wait a bit long for our food, perhaps due to the crowd. Would recommend making a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience at Jack's Wife Freda was just average. The servers were polite but we waited a while for our food. I expected the famous green shakshuka to be mind-blowing, but it was merely okay. The prices felt high for the portion sizes, which was disappointing. Yet, I did enjoy the vibe of the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibes were high, but I found the service a bit lacking. Our wait was longer than anticipated, and we felt rushed toward the end. The food, while good, didn’t warrant the prices they charge. I enjoyed the malva pudding but overall left feeling slightly disappointed given the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1512)

" Had high hopes based on all the reviews, but the food was disappointingly average. I found the portions very small for the price and wouldn't suggest the coffee—it was just mediocre. On the brighter side, the environment buzzes with energy, which I enjoyed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, this was not the brunch I expected. The atmosphere was excessively loud, and I struggled to hold a conversation. The food was decent but did not match the hype—very average in taste. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon unless there are significant changes made to the noise level and portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)
