Jack & Ada's Cafe Restaurant
Tucked away in the heart of Walsall, Jack & Ada's Cafe Restaurant is the kind of place you stumble into once and keep coming back to. Located at Units 3&4, St Paul's Buildings, St. Pauls St, Walsall WS1 1NR, this gem has become something of a local favorite-and for good reason. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast, a quick bite with friends, or a solo lunch date with your laptop, this café-restaurant hybrid ticks more boxes than you'd expect.
The first thing you’ll notice is how easygoing the place feels. It’s got that perfect mix of café charm and restaurant comfort. You’re greeted with a warm vibe, friendly staff, and accessibility all around-wheelchair-friendly entrance, seating, and restrooms make it genuinely inclusive. Outdoor seating is available for those who enjoy people-watching with their coffee, while dine-in is ideal for those wanting a slower, sit-down experience. There's no delivery, but they do offer kerbside pickup and takeaway for added convenience.
Now, let’s talk food-because really, that’s what Jack & Ada's Cafe Restaurant is all about.
It’s impossible to ignore their Full English Breakfast-a proper plate that comes out hot, satisfying, and not greasy. If you’re vegan, don’t worry-they’ve got a Vegan Breakfast that’s equally filling, with fresh ingredients that don’t feel like a lazy substitution.
Craving something simple? The Toast and Coffee combo is a go-to for early risers or laptop warriors. And their Breakfast and Coffee pairings offer great value. Honestly, if you're working remotely or just need a caffeine fix with a side of quiet, this spot is good for both focus and food.
By lunchtime, the menu shifts into casual comfort food mode. Think Jacket Potatoes with a variety of toppings (cheese and beans is a personal favorite), Egg, Chips, and Peas-a classic that’s somehow nostalgic-and hearty Beef Burgers that actually taste homemade.
For lighter eaters or those looking for a health-conscious bite, they serve vegetarian and vegan dishes, plus healthy options and small plates that don’t weigh you down. If you're in a rush, the service is quick without feeling rushed-ideal for grabbing a quick meal between errands or during a lunch break.
One of the highlights here is the drink selection. This isn’t your average “coffee and go” kind of café. They’ve got an impressive tea selection, a standout Café Latte, and genuinely great coffee that’s smooth, rich, and brewed right. If you're into desserts, pairing your coffee with one of their sweet treats is highly recommended-they don't just serve dessert, they serve great dessert.
Looking to unwind later in the day? They also offer wine, beer, cocktails, and spirits, which makes it a decent choice for an early evening drink. It’s a rare balance-serving excellent coffee and offering a solid alcohol selection-but Jack & Ada's manages to pull it off.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, making it perfect for solo dining, but also social enough for a casual meetup. You’ll often see locals on laptops, tourists discovering it through word of mouth, or regulars just enjoying a peaceful moment with their latte.
Thanks to its central Walsall location, it’s an easy find whether you’re a local or just passing through. And while it might not have delivery (yet), the convenience of takeaway and kerbside pickup make it a no-brainer for those on the go.

Lovely cafe serving good food. Really generous portions and reasonable prices. Gluten free vegan and vegetarian options available too
We stopped off here on our way back to Reading. What a great breakfast, and very friendly staff with great music playing. While we were there it was like 60s music. Fabulous atmosphere too
I only have great things to say about this place, great food, staff and atmosphere! Not only are the portions generous the prices is very affordable too. I loved that there was a huge range of food choices to choose from and being a vegetarian this is one of the best places around here I’ve seen have such a wide variety of veggie and vegan options, even the drink are incredible too from hot coffee to iced and even alcoholic beverages! This had been a such a pleasant experience and I’ll definitely coming back!
