Fort Jesse Cafe

Great specials! Had the steak bagel and my friend had the red velvet pancake special. The mimosas are good and strong! I got the chorizo breakfast skillet special last time and it was very good. Busy and popular place.

Every now and again you find a Gem, and this is one of them. Truly a delicious space with their food elevated up a couple levels from the Normal breakfast spots. The service is efficient and friendly. Our server took extra time to explain menu offerings and made a most delicious latte. The food came right on time as it was not too quick and certainly was not long. Overall cleanliness is decent. We will be back. Special kudos to our server who is brilliant and nice and went above and beyond.

If u travel here in Bloomington or visit for business trip, you should visit at least once to enjoy these food. Otherwise, you cannot tell you have ever visited in Bloomington. I wanna try them all in the menu. Sooooo great !

In town from Peoria and found this place from a Google search for breakfast. Menu looked good and got good reviews so we gave it a try. Good choice! Quite busy on a Saturday brunch and was told approximately 20 minute wait for a table of 2. We chose the bar for immediate seating. The two baristas working were friendly and true professionals of their craft. One was kind enough to explain some menu items to us newcomers during a busy rush service. We chose the Chorizo burrito and traditional biscuits and gravy. My girlfriend asked for her hash browns well done, and said they're the first restaurant in a long time to get it right. We'll definitely be back!

If you are thinking of stopping, do it. Food was great. It was busy but what great place isn’t. The latte was amazing and my husband loved the shrimp and grits.
