I am so happy I found this little gem while on holiday in Canberra. The Korean street toast is delicious. So nice to have service with a smile and a warm greeting regardless of how busy they are or how cold it is.

Thank you for your very kind service and comforting food on the gloomy morning! Both the owner and the staff were very understanding and caring during my last visit on early January this year. My kid was not well and accidentally made a mess. You have put in every effort to make my kid feel better. My most sincere appreciation and thanks.

First time visiting Jinas because of the high ratings. I walked past and didn't think much of it. I then doubled back and walked in, kinda small with a funky little hole in the wall. I ordered a long black with an eggs bennidict with bacon. Friendly staff and amazing. Coffee was perfect and the hollandaise sauce was the best I've had smooth creamy and not too tart. I must had arrived just before peak 830 Friday morning as the place started filling up. Staff welcomed regulars with knowing their orders without them saying. Over all amazing experience with a homely style feel. Would come back.

We got two Jina's Breakfast, $21 each and came with a coffee. Food was well presented and eggs were cooked perfectly. Service was amazing, she cracked pepper over the top and asked if we wanted sauce. Highly recommend going here.

I am not a coffee drinker. I had Chai latte the first time as the owner recommended. It was creamy and so lovely. When I went back again with a friend, I had it again with my friend. We both felt love with Chai latte. I don't think any other place can make Chai latte like Jina's cafe. The owner and the staff was so friendly and lovely too. It's such a nice stop when you pass Civic ^.^
