The Mason Jar Cafe: A Trendy Oasis for Coffee, Sandwiches, and Breakfast in Benton Harbor

The Mason Jar Cafe is consistently a great dining experience. While it was originally known as "the" place to go for breakfast, lunch, and special occasion dinners are also offered. The menu is packed with great options, prepared with ingredients from locally sourced farms. It can be quite busy at times, but I have never had to wait for a table as there are multiple dining areas. Some of these are small rooms with only a few tables, some in larger open areas. Some of our favorite dishes are Goat Cheese Grit Cakes, Huevos Rancheros, and Corned Beef Hash. On my last visit, I tried the Messy Egg Sandwich with Lox, Dill, and Cream Cheese. It lived up to its name, and I ended up eating it with a knife and fork, but it was solidly delicious. Their pancakes are huge and tasty as well, and served with real maple syrup. Deliciously prepared, locally sourced delights await you at The Mason Jar Cafe.

First time visitors to this establishment and will be returning over and over. Our server Jackie (hope I’m spelling it correctly) was incredibly delightful. Her interactions with our daughters made the experience fantastic. Then there is the food which is some of the best we’ve had in the area. Know we understand why some many people rave about the Mason Jar. Keep up the great work!!!!!

We arrived right at closing, they were happily served us lunch. I had the roasted vegetable sandwich with fruit. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had and I don't often like sandwiches. Everyone was friendly and happy even though we kept them late. The food came out quickly and was done to perfection. Did not look rushed. I will come to Benton harbor again just for this restaurant. Next time we'll arrive well before closing. Highly recommend!

Sue was the most amazing server ever. She got us our food quickly and with a smile! The food was incredible and healthy.

Delicious! We started with Spicy Bloody Marys that had a great spice flavor compared to just adding Tabasco sauce heat like you often get. My husband had the stuffed French toast with a side of bacon. Of course I had to try a bite and it was delicious. He described it as eating dessert for breakfast. I ordered the jalapeno sausage scramble with potatoes and multi grain toast. The eggs were excellent on their own, but I still wanted hot sauce and was blown away that they brought 3 options of hot sauce to choose from. After testing all three I landed on the carrot habanero. It was flavorful with some heat. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and the toast was hearty… I did ask for more butter… because if I am going to eat bread I might as well make it worth it!

The service was amazing. Our waiter Sophia P. Was attentive and friendly and provided excellent customer service. We were a large group, and she patiently waited for all of us to arrive and got the all the ordering , and with the help of of the other staff delivered our food with preciseness. Not only was she a great waiter , she even took time to take pictures of our group and moved tables around, and made sure we were all visible on the picture. Sophia P. We are proud of you and glad that we call the same town home! Keep up the amazing work, and we will be back!

This was a 10/10 brunch experience. It was delightful and filling. Super happy with the zucchini bread GF waffle, broccoli eggs with perfect potatoes, and had to try a buttermilk pancake, which I could have ordered much more. A can’t miss spot when you’re in town and somewhere I’m sure we’ll go again the next time we’re in the area. The espresso over ice to-go was the right move to end our favorite meal of the weekend.

Mason jar cafe is the best restaurant in the entire world. The renovations look great too! Hands down best food ever. So fresh. The staff is so friendly too. Today we got the jalapeños cheddar scramble and the pumpkin spice pancakes, with lattes. So good as always.
