One of my favorite breakfast places! And good for lunch and dinner too. Jinky's has lots of vegan, vegetarian, organic and gluten free stuff, which I love. The people are really friendly too :)

Cute place with very friendly servers. I had the Santa Fe Scramble and all I can say is WOW. Perfect balance of veggies, eggs and chorizo, with the very inventive and great addition of corn tortilla strips for a little crunch! I was skeptical about the pea guacamole since I'm not a huge fan of peas, but it was delicious and seasoned just right! I loved it so much I tried to go back the next day and the day after, but they had lost power. I am definitely going back for more as soon as I can!

Jinky's is my favorite brunch in LA. ALWAYS worth braving the 3rd Street Promenade mess on the weekends. You can almost always find parking in one of the garages on 2nd street, even on a busy day. As for the restaurant, there may be a slight wait, but it's never been outrageous for me. Just remember, they won't sit incomplete parties!
I love Jinky's Favorite omelet, and ANY of the Mexican breakfast items (breakfast quesadila!). Their breakfast potatoes are always awesome, and I love their chilis (you can ask for a sample too). I've also thoroughly enjoyed all of the lunch items I have tried. Basically, I would eat here every day if I could. Definitely try it!

Friendly staff, great service, family atmosphere and a menu listing something for every taste --- that is what you'll find at Jinky's Kanan Cafe. We walked in without a reservation from the Homewood Suites just down the street. The folks at Jinky's were accommodating and welcoming, seating us at an outdoor table with a nice view of the landscape below their patio and even outfitting us with an outdoor heater.
My husband --- who is a very picky eater --- really enjoyed the Mexicali Fajitas. I highly recommend the Salmon Tikka Masala! This is dining at opposite ends of the spectrum while sitting at the same table! I was not kidding before when I said it was possible to find something for every taste! Jinky's also offers a decent kids menu.
All-in-all a great experience!

I gave this place 5 stars, not for the food, but for the EXCELLENT service. I honestly wasn't feeling good the day I came here so I didn't order much and can't really comment on the food.
However, the SERVICE was AMAZING! My server knew I wasn't feeling good, and bent over backwards to accommodate my table and me. He kept coming by to check on us and see if we needed anything, and he offered some of the lighter choices on the menu so that I could have a small bite of something. My hubby ordered a sandwich and our friend ordered frittata, and both said their meal was delicious! Although I can't personally comment on the food, I will definitely bring business again! Thanks for the great service!
REVIEWS Tulip T. 6/29/2011 **** Palo Alto, CA I ordered the red, white, and blue waffles; which was a Belgian waffle topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas with raspberry sauce and a side of whipped cream. I skipped the bananas and requested additional strawberries instead. While it wasn't the best waffle I've ever eaten, it was good. I think I'll order the French toast next time. Parking at Jinky's is a major challenge. The parking lot is very small, but there is thankfully street parking available. The meters accept credit cards. Be forewarned. Parking is strictly enforced in the area so be sure to mark the time you parked your car and remember to go back and feed the meter if you need more time.
