Jake's
American · Breakfast · Northampton, MA
About
Jake's is open daily from 8am to 3pm, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch any day of the week. This Northampton staple has been around since the 60s, and since 2011 it's been run by best friends Alex and Chris, who bought it to save it from closing. They've updated it with Southern-influenced dishes, all made from scratch with local ingredients. Expect House Hash of the Day, Benedicts, burgers, and grilled cheese. The vibe is casual and mixed, drawing a straight and queer crowd alike. Weekends bring a line, so get there early if you want a table.
The menu is packed with big, bold flavors, and there's outdoor seating for nice days. Beer and wine are available, and free wifi makes it a convenient stop for solo diners. If you're exploring downtown, it's between Main St and Merrick Ln. After your meal, walk over to Herrell's Ice Cream for a sweet treat just a block away.
