Centre Street Café
This pocket-size storefront on J.P.’s main street has a delicious split personality. Show up for dinner, and the café feels like a laid-back neighborhood find, offering creatively crafted epicurean fare (recent menu items include pasture-raised ribeye topped with maple-chipotle-bourbon butter and rare-sautéed yellowfin topped with a lemony avocado-caper salsa) in an intimate, art-filled space. Show up for the famous weekend brunch, and it’s a unapologetic mob scene—noisy, crowded, with the open kitchen going full-tilt to churn out eye-popping platters of pancakes, waffles, omelets, and other crowd-pleasers (check the specials menu for the perennially popular Cuban scramble). But at least one thing remains constant at Centre Street: an emphasis on ingredients that are locally grown, organic, and humanely raised.
