Can’t believe I haven’t visited this cafe earlier as it’s so lovely! The interior is so homely and love the addition of plants and greenery all around the cafe.

Started off with coffees, soy latte and cappuccino which were both delish. We were spoilt with choice on the menu that I could have ordered so many more dishes! We ended up selecting the halloumi stack with avocado and the French toast. Was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of the halloumi dish as the avocado was like a piece of art. The flavours were amazing and the halloumi was perfectly crispy. The french toast is a must order if you love a sweet and decadent dish. I could smell the cinnamon straight away and loved the nutella and berries on top!

Highly recommend checking this cafe out if your in the area or would like to try a new cafe with great food and service.

Pros: the salmon was cooked to perfection. Cooked well yet still very juicy and moist. The pumpkin puree that went with the salmon.. wow! Complemented very well. Portions are generous as seen in the photos for each dish. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Cons: the food did take a while to come but it may be because we came at a busy time!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay so the food looks incredible and is very grammable. The halloumi stack was amazing as was the baked eggs. The benny was just okay and lacked flavour but the hash browns were perfect. Overall the food was good but not great, however the price was very reasonable and definitely one of the best brunch spots in the area.  

The coffee was too milky for me and the service was a little slow but very friendly. 

If you’re in Preston then this place is defiantly worth a visit but not necessarily worth going out of your way to go to.

Coffee great, haloumi stack was delicious with really fresh pumpkin purée, seasoned avocado great, mushrooms on the side really nice. Big serves with lots of flavour. Unassuming corner shop with great staff that makes it even better.

In an unassuming cafe in the outer suburb of Preston is some of the best food and coffee that I have had recently. Jackson Dodds is cool from the get go with it's mural covered exterior wall, and it continues indoors with more funky colours and decor. It's not a large space, but it's relaxed and comfortable with a friendly atmosphere and a fun attitude.

The guys here are super friendly, and are more than happy to talk you through the menu or offer up suggestions. We couldn't go past the recommended banana latte, which was an unusual but tasty combination that was like a coffee infused banana smoothie. Their regular coffee was also fantastic.

The menu has some great options, and we decided upon the mushroom medley and the ricotta pancakes. The mushrooms was presented beautifully... the plate was like a work of art. With delicious mushrooms, toast, sweet potato puree, a fantastic pea pancake and a beautiful tuille to top it off. It almost seemed a shame to eat it, but we were glad we did as it tasted as good as it looked. The mushrooms were juicy, the puree perfectly sweet, and the poached eggs were just right.

The pancakes were a perfect stack of fluffy and flavoursome pancakes surrounded with fruit, crumble, a jug of syrup and icecream. Just heavenly, and a total joy to eat. The perfect combination of sticky sweet syrup and featherlight pancakes was a sweet tooths dream.

The guys at Jackson Dodds have got the winning formula to keep this cafe constantly busy. Visually appealing food that also tastes great, a friendly atmosphere and fabulous service keep the customers continually coming back for more, and now we understand why.

I wasn’t sure how to rate this place at first because first impressions count. From the outside it has a large colourful mural and outdoor seating with plastic chairs. Inside is pretty basic and nothing hipster about it at all.
We ordered a pot of tea each and shared pancakes. That’s when I discovered why this place has over 700 reviews and is rated so highly.
The pancakes looked superb. The swirl of coulee and fresh berries with dollop of creme was a mouth-watering site. Pancakes were light and fluffy s delicious.
Despite the cuppa tea being served in pots that looked like they come from an office canteen, it was nice and very hot.
Staff were lovely. Very friendly and quick to take our order.
Takeaway coffee available.
Only downside was as we were there later one the day, they’d started vacuuming while we were still seated and was hard to hear over the Dyson buzzing.
Note: wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking in Gilbert Street or in the side streets.

We dropped into this cafe because we were in the area and the Zomato rating was high and we were not disappointed.
The food was very well presented and yummy, the coffee was good and the venue had a good vibe to it.

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!…

Came here with the family for Easter brunch. The staff were wonderful and for a busy morning the service was pretty good, not waiting to looking for our drinks and food to be ordered then subsequently served. Portions were generous and everything was super tasty.

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.
