Many of us from the Alton end of the lake use 28 through Pittsfield to get back and forth to the lake from Concord and points south so this may really come in handy for some of us!

Jitters Cafe opened up about two weeks ago in the former Zoya's Restaurant in the sleepy town of Pittsfield. The name sounds similar to Jitter Beans Internet Cafe in Marlborough, which is a coffee house and vegetarian cafe, but there is no connection.

It was my coworker who actually discovered this place for me (new eats alert) and had breakfast here over the weekend. I heard from him and another coworker that the place was very busy with a line out the door with the locals wanting to try the newest breakfast and lunch place in town.

The place was totally remodeled, a far cry from its predecessor and looks very nice and bright with new furnishings, counter seating, tables & chairs, shiny hardwood floors, and the walls are decorated with framed pictures and nice framed photos of flower closeups (for sale) taken by a local photographer.

The paper menus are at each table, offerings include typical breakfast dishes served all day, as well as lunch (after 11AM) including sandwiches, salads, burgers, chili, fried foods, and cafe entrees (meat loaf, spaghetti, lasagna, seafood, steak, chicken, & more). Specials are sometimes offered here and the prices here are pretty reasonable, most breakfast items priced well under $10 and entrees in the $7-$12 range. Baked goods including homemade breads and Green Mountain Coffee are readily available to go. On Sundays, an all you can eat Breakfast Buffet ($6.95) is served from 6AM-1PM.

I decided to give this place a try on a rainy Tuesday morning, which in this case, the place was not crowded, probably due to school vacation week in NH. It was just myself eating breakfast solo at 7AM. I sat myself at a small table in the back dining area and I was offered coffee as I took a seat. The Green Mountain Coffee was pretty decent. The music of Susan Boyle was pumping through the speakers. Wild Horses is a good song!

I looked over the choices for breakfast and as usual, I did inquire about the hash, which was not homemade here. I decided on the Jitters Best Deal ($4.95) which included 2 eggs any style, home fries, 2 pancakes or French toast, and 2 ham, bacon, or sausage, a pretty good deal! The food was served to me expediently and my coffee was topped off constantly during this meal. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and done right. The grilled ham slices were tender and pretty good. The home fries were fresh cut and lightly grilled, slightly mushy texture, but good tasting. However, the pancakes were not very good (2 thumbs down!). These puppies were made way too thick (1 inch) and more like rubbery griddle cakes and the texture inside was crumbly and dry and not light and fluffy. I could not finish it since I was already full from the generous amount of food on the 2 plates.

Overall, I would give the food an overall 2.5 stars. However, I will round up and I'm giving props to the ownership for the fantastic job of remodeling this restaurant space and making it look very nice and inviting. The nice shiny hardwood floors are immaculate, very much like going to a bowling alley. Jitters Cafe is very new and kinks are expected, especially with the very thick pancakes, which should be thinner, soft, light, and fluffy. The service was attentive and gracious. I will give it some time before returning.
