Un sandwich venant frais savoureux. Un lieu très propre & découvrir autant de repas pour apportez desserts & divers le café a conseiller avec le grand choix de pâtisseries. Un garçon sympathique au comptoir.
If you read my other reviews, you'll see that I am a HUGE CARNIVORE, however, this vegetarian place can satisfy even the biggest meat eater out there. Food was fantastic, bakery products were delicious, & Shani the server, is pretty much the reason I would ever go back. Tell her what you want & how many people you want to feed, & she'll tell you what you need, not what you want, & IN A GOOD WAY. Her suggestions & pleasantry is a model for all other restaurants out there! It's more of a grab & go type of place with limited high-stool seating. Parking is not the best but worth the trip nonetheless. Food was fresh, service was great, & bakery goods for dessert were yummy. Vegetarian only, falafels, sharwama, shish taouk, pitas, salads, cookies, cakes, you can't go wrong……🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pita falafel is fresh & delicious. Way better than what you'll find in other restaurants. The lady that runs the place is so friendly & caring, she'll make you feel at home. I will go back as often as I can.
The falafel sandwich is to die for. Messy but really good. I tried other stuff on their menu. Not that great & somewhat overpriced. Stick with the falafel sandwich & you will be happy.
Falafel St. Jacques was an incredible experience from start to finish on this snowy Sunday. Shanni behind the counter immediately made us feel at home & graciously shared some extraordinary samples with us as we tried to make up our minds about what to order from the delicious offerings. Through the duration of our stay, Shanni chatted with us & it felt like we were having a (mouthwatering) meal in someone's kitchen. We ordered the falafel sandwich & the Tunisian sandwich, along with a sampling of salads (babaganoush, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, quinoa, carrots, & eggplant). We also tried some Israeli juices, & took home a bunch of pastries that I cannot wait to try. We will be telling our circle about this place, & will most definitely be back. Thank you!
