Jackson Dodds

The place is marvellous. Apparently it was a cafe previously but a young chef purchased it and uplifted the venue. I will definitely go there again. Cup cakes were made by the chef and we tried one. Just perfect. Ambiance was warm and friendly. Staff were smiling, talkative and helpful. Go there ppl. You won’t be disappointed!…

Tbh when I first came in here I balked at the price of the food. But it was 100% worth it. For $22 you don't just get an avo smash, you get something that has been skillfully crafted by the chefs to resemble fine dining food. Was thoroughly impressed. Will definitely be back. The decor is also absolutely stunning.

The best pancakes!!! My favourite pancake brunch spot. And they're consistent. I've been there three times so far over the last few months, with different people each time and everyone has loved them. The cafe is also beautifully decorated. All three of us were sure we had the best view until we looked from each others vantage points. (Mine was the true best.. According to me. 😆) Also the staff are friendly. It's an absolute winner.

Look, if you’re looking for a cute little brunch place to go to and absolutely have to stay in Preston, then Jackson Dodds is the place to be! The food portions are ginormous (but I’m also not a very big eater) and the prices are very standard for brunch (~$20). It will leave you in a massive food coma that will convince you that an afternoon nap is the next best thing for you, then the next thing you know it’s 9pm and you’ve lost your whole day. In any case, decor is super cute and you can tell they put a lot of effort into it so 5 stars for that, food range wise, they don’t exactly have a very unique menu and most options can be found at other brunch places.

Called in on Sunday 24th October 2021 spur of the moment with no booking, had no trouble getting a table for two. Service from the three staff we had contact with was fantastic. Ordered a B.L.A.T and added egg and cheese. Also a Boss Benny which has the best hash browns instead of toast. Mango smoothy was also great. Food and service fantastic. Will be back for sure, thank you all.

Happily surprised! Went here years ago and don’t remember thinking much of it. But wow, it has had a facelift!!! Menu wise and interior wise! The vibe inside is amazing; open, green and cool things hanging from the wall, kickass!! And most importantly, the food and coffee! Couldn’t fault it. Lovely work chefs! Overall, 5/5 ⭐️

Wow has this place come a long way since last year. Newly renovated with a fresh new fit out, new kitchen and new menu. The coffee is good, always has been. But the food has improved significantly. Today I enjoyed the Buddha bowl and it was great – very tasty, immaculately presented and a big filling portion. Will return to try more of the menu.
