My first review was for the Hollywood location- mistakenly posted for the DTLA location. I prefer the Hollywood location much more for ease of parking, navigation, and cleanliness. The DTLA (Spring st) location is still a fun experience as the mini mall-vibes with string lights is nice. The food is just as delicious and the QR-code online ordering and payment system is great for introverts and time efficiency. We had the Blu Jam benedict and Norwegian Benedict, which were wonderful. These potatoes are my favorite- the perfect ratio of crispy to mealy for hash browns, and the hollandaise with dill for the Norwegian is a nice herby touch. Note- you need to ask for a pass for the bathroom, which you give to the security guard across the way to let you into the bathroom hallway. Feels a little sus and the bathrooms aren't the best kept. read more

Blu Jam Cafe - Breakfast Sandwich- delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When I went there it was so good.bonus points for match a tea. But the lone is to long though but still.5 stars.

First things first, I HIGHLY recommend the French Toast Churros. Crispy and flaky on the outside but soft and moist in the inside! It was like having heaven in my mouth and I'm not even a sweets person! Although, I'm quite sure about the basil as a garnish. This particular location is within a beautiful arcade building. There is dining in the indoor "outdoor" and the interior area. I would recommend sitting "outdoor" as you're underneath hanging lights and glass skylight which is fitting for a weekend brunch. The service was modern in a sense that you can order via QR code and be separated from the rest of the party or you can order inside like a traditional exchange. Our waitress was very friendly, helped us with water immediately, and came by to make sure we were situated and satisfied. The service of food was also quick and they warned us the plates were hot. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito and it did not disappoint especially being a large portion! Overall, I highly recommend and I would hands down come back for the French Toast Churros! read more

We always get the crunchy french toast, and they never disappoint. Crunch, flaky on the outside, while moist on the inside, these are amazing to order and share with your party. Their Blue Jam Benedict are also great, with plenty of potatoes to make sure that you become full. I've always been a huge potato lover, and each potato has that crispiness that you'd want. I think they used to have a special ketchup/sauce, but they might not have that anymore. Anyways, still a must-try, and an LA brunch staple! read more

Blu Jam Cafe - Blue Jam Benedict + French Toast + Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Good brunch place. But since it's a chain, would go to another location. Parking: street parking is the go to move. But it's pretty hard to find a spot in LA. There's a lot just across as well ($10) Use the QR code menu to order for sit down or take out. We got the crunch French toast, Florentine Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, and Norwegian Benedict. Each were all good in their own ways. Would try another location just cuz the area isn't exactly brunch vibes. read more

Blu Jam Cafe - Florentine Benedict ($15) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We have been to Blu Jam a few times, always with work friends. This one is in Downtown LA and is super cute. It has plenty of seating, the service is fast and very friendly and we have never had a bad meal there. We always start with their great coffee. It is French from a single-origin coffee bean from Guatemala's coffee producing region "San Lucas Toliman." The house espresso blend, is also great. They serve the Italian favorite Danesi. They are only open for breakfast and lunch and close at 2 on the weekdays and 3 on Saturday. I do not know it they are open on Sunday. Their breakfast is our favorite so we often go there for brunch, but their lunch is good as well. The place is ever so clean and all the food is locally sourced. Their Crunchy French Toast is really great. It is a fresh brioche dipped in the best tasting batter, and then rolled in corn flakes and grilled. It is topped with fresh berries, served with powdered sugar and vanilla bean sauce. It is heavenly. For lunch try the warm mushroom with mixed greens, sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds, and balsamic vinaigrette. You can add grilled chicken breast for about 4$ more. Speaking of lunch have the Argentinian Steak and Egg. I always order an extra egg. It is flattened beef tenderloin with potatoes, green beans, a sunny side up egg and a chimichurri sauce. I also order some bread with it. It is great. The prices are fair. You will love this place, I think. It is in the wonderful Arcade Building. read more

I can't recommend this place enough!! My boyfriend and I always come here when we have a chance. Today's visit was a special occasion, to start our 4 year anniversary celebration with breakfast. Our waiter, bulmaro made the morning very special. We were quick to make friendly chatter and he even cracked a few jokes. With great attitude and service. He surprised us with a platter with cinnamon toast and writing happy anniversary with vanilla cream in the middle (supeer good!!!. ) We ordered our usual hangover scrambled. Overall , I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants a delicious meal, with great service and beautiful scenery. I can't thank our server and the cooks enough for our experience today. I've never written a yelp review however I made the exception for them, they really out do themselves. Thank you so much for having us!! :) read more

Don't waste your time. The food is good but it's not worth it. They don't have wait staff. You order thru an app. The food comes out in waves. They server had to be reminded about our missing items. Latte was cold. This location is a pass for me. Definitely will not come back. Also, it's pricey. While eating we saw at least 2 different groups get up and leave. I don't understand why this place has good reviews. read more

Get the French toast!! It's their signature dish and you will love it! If Bulmaro is available, sit in his section. He's the best and what an Ambassador for the restaurant! Norwegian Benedict, chilaquiles, crepes. Every meal is to die for! Order at the table and pay on your phone. Easy, fast service, delicious food and reasonable prices. If you're in DTLA, it's the best place for breakfast!! Can you tell I love this place? LOVE it!!! read more

Our favorite breakfast/brunch place in DTLA. We went after Easter Mass at the Cathedral, and we were seated immediately.

This place is highly recommended. I will keep coming back for more. read more

My friend said this place was popular in LA so we came to try it. We arrived around 10:45-11 am and it wasn't that full so we didn't have to wait. We chose a table outside and ordered using the QR code. You select the dishes you want and pay for it first, then their staff serves the food. We ordered the California Omelet, Blu Jam Benedict, and Crunchy French Toast. The portions were all right- not as generous as I expected- but it fed the three of us. The wait took about 15 minutes. I would say the food wasn't with the hype and was just alright. Service was decent. They provided free water and there were restrooms nearby (they give you a pass and you have to go to the security person for them to unlock the door). I saw parking nearby but obviously it's paid (ranges from $10-15). read more

Went to check this place out based on their reviews. Ordering is a bit different, you order from the table with your phone scanning their QR code and then it's brought out to you. Didn't mind that, was open to try something new. The food looked good as it was brought to us. As soon as we were preparing to eat, we saw a hair in one of our plates. That kind of ruined the vibe to start eating. Their chilaquiles were soggy from the chicken broth, kind of defeats the purpose of being called chilaquiles. The latte was good. Don't think we'll go back again. read more

The service and food was amazing !!! The crunchy French toast was beyond any other experience , just love it

The food is pretty good but service and ambiance are lacking. The ambiance can't really be helped as the restaurant is located in the middle of an indoor strip mall in downtown Los Angeles. I don't care for the ordering process. To order food, you must use a QR code to order on your phone or at the register. After ordering, a server will bring out your selections. We only saw our server when she brought our food. I had to get up to ask for anything else I wanted. This place is fine for a quick and casual meal, but could definitely stand to improve on service. read more

Tried this place one before at the other location and it did not disappoint again! I was surprised there was not a long wait. especially bc I went on a holiday weekend. Parking sucks as usual bc it's in Downtown lol so what can you do, but at least the delicious food made up for it! The portion sizes are big so the dishes are defs shareable or you'll have some good leftovers! California Omelette - Hearty! Can't go wrong with an omelette. It was very well balanced and the eggs were fluffy! Blue Jam Benedict - Delicious! Tasted delicious and I liked the crispy bacon, which added a crunchy texture. Florentine Benedict - Yummy! This was good and is more heavy on the veggies, which is nice if you want a benedict, but want something a bit lighter. Crunchy French Toasted - Amazing! They are known for this and it was delicious! I liked how buttery the toast was. Mimosas - Great! We tried the guava and orange mimosas and they were both tasty. read more

Delicious spot in LA! I got the Migas dish, and my friend got the Steak Hash. We also shared the crunchy french toast too. I LOVED my dish! It was perfectly spicy and delicious. It came with scrambled eggs, chips, tortillas, pico de gallo, crispy potatoes, and more. I loved how crispy the potatoes were and fluffy the scrambled eggs were. The entire dish was perfectly seasoned! It was savory and super filling. The chips were the perfect pairing with the scrambled eggs and crispy potatoes. But the chips to food ratio was too little. I wish there were more chips! Nevertheless, this dish was terrific, and I will definitely get this dish again next time I come here! The crunchy french toast was also delightful! It wasn't too sweet, and I loved the sweet white sauce it came with. I loved the fresh fruits it came with, and the edges were crunchy! Though the interior was a tad dry, and I wished it were drenched a bit more with syrup or any other sweetener. My friend thought the Steak Hash was just alright. They mentioned how the dill hollandaise sauce was too overpowering, and the potatoes didn't stand out to them. I would recommend coming here! Especially for the Migas dish! read more

The customer service was amazing (we had recently visited the Blu Jam Cafe in Sherman Oaks) and the Spring Street location in DTLA offered great food, accompanied by staff that was attentive with our dining experience. The previous location (Sherman Oaks) had minimal interactions with the staff, everything was done using a QR code, and the servers dropped off the food and drinks that had been ordered and payed for through the app. No one checked up on us to see if we needed anything else. read more

First it's already expensive but if you order through Yelp it costs way more. I found it was like about $21 for just the French toast but ordering there it is about $15. Way expensive for some bread, you can buy like 3 or more loaves of bread for that. They used to have syrup but for some strange reason that is no longer. I've been here many times before and I usually am just coming for the French toast just because of the way it looks and two people could share it. Just wish there was syrup. So now it's all order through your phone but the one thing I don't like about that is that you have to pay the tip before you even get service which bothers me. You barely see your server and for the amount they requested as a tip it doesn't balance out for the service received. Breakfast was awesome, the mimosa was good and I like that they have actually made the place bigger. It was a pricey venture for breakfast/brunch but I left full. read more

I ordered the Argentina steak and egg, got a dry paper thin piece of leather on a be of soggy oily unseasoned potato. Also ordered a kids breakfast, crunchy French toast and extra side of bacon. The kid won't touch the oil soaked eggs, the burnt bacon or the potatoes and the toast is the only slightly edible thing, also oil soaked definitely cooked in too low heat. This 75$ order will be going straight to the trash and currently in the kitchen making a meal. That menu is a complete cat fish and I hope the owner is ashamed to see this. read more

This location is apparently one of many-- we stumbled upon this one based on our location proximity exploring some areas in LA. It's very easy to miss, because it's in this oddly placed food corridor in the middle of what appears to be an average city neighborhood. We were seated right away and the staff member explained the ordering process to us. You scan the QR code to order and pay. Easy enough. I had the salmon hash which was decent. Not overly seasoned, but also not bland and a good portion of food! Also, very well plated. My son had the churro French toast, he enjoyed it but did say he wish there was syrup. They don't have syrup which is a little unusual for a breakfasty type place. Overall a good choice to get your grub on! I loved that they order free ginger shot for checking in on Yelp! read more

We were at Grand Central prior but it was sooo busy and decided to come here for a little bit of quiet. We put our name on the waitlist before we walked over. We got seated rather quickly and ordering is all done via the QR code you scan. Pretty easy and quick to order. Food came up pretty quick and as I checked in via Yelp, sadly, the promotion for a free ginger shot was no linger being offered. 1/5 - grilled cheese with diced potatoes - the sandwich came cold and very bland. The potatoes were nice. This needed a tomato soup. 1/5 - French toast - I had a bite of French toast that someone else ordered but we all thought it was strange that they did not have maple syrup. They only had honey and a cream for the sauce Very disappointed the food. I would skip and probably would've had better food with the crowds at grand central. read more

I appreciate that this space has indoor and outdoor seating - though even the outdoor seating is still within the Spring Arcade so it is sheltered from the elements. I'm knocking the review down by 1 star because ordering through the QR code is challenging. They ask for so much information just to take payment. It's much easier to use the kiosk inside to place the order and pay. I ordered the brunch carbonara - so delicious and filling. My dining partner got the apple crepes and they looked amazing. He also got the Spicy Vegan Tex Mex Tofu Hash that was much bigger than he expected so he wasn't quite able to finish both dishes, even after a long run that morning. read more

We came here in the middle of the week to come get brunch around 11AM. It is a super cute location with an outdoor entrance but still feels like you're inside. The service concept is awesome you order online at your table and they bring everything out to you. They also give you these gorgeous large carafes of water infused with lemon and mint. To start, I got an iced latte which was excellent! For my main I got the Eggwich with potatoes and I am not an avocado fan but this was amazing!! We were looking for Lowkey tasty brunch in LA and that is exactly what we found. Parking was my only complaint as the deck next to them had a weird guy doing valet and it didn't seem formal. Other than that, this was an amazing stop and we could not have asked for anything better. read more

My daughter and I decided to eat here today and it did not disappoint. My daughter really loves eating heavy breakfast and she is the type who loves breakfast food any time of the day. So, this place is just perfect. We ordered their crunch french toast which is special in the sense that the sides are really crunchy unlike the usual french toast (so that is a nice twist!) We also got the California Omelette which has bits of potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, and loads of cheese (which we really love!) For ordering, you can order inside or scan the QR code and place the order there. The seating outside is very relaxing with lots of tables. Usually the line is long but fortunately today, we got in quickly. For the parking, there is parking right beside the Spring Arcade (where Blu Jam is located), however they only accept cash. So, we parked right across the Spring Arcade building for $12 maximum since parking was really hard to find and since the parking price is kinda steep, we just decided to walk around the area and passby The Last Bookstore to make the most out of it. read more

I was staying in the area and wanted to find a fun brunch spot. Blu Jam cafe offers something for everyone. My husband really enjoyed the eggs Benedict and I opted for the eggwich. Both were sooo good! We love their mini cubed potatoes on the side. It was easy to get a table when walking up on a Saturday morning. Everything is electronic- scanning a QR code and placing the order digitally to be brought to your table once ready. Water was brought to our table without ordering, which I really appreciated. Hot sauce was already waiting on the table- great touch! The staff helping us were all really helpful. It's a cute spot inside of an enclosed walkway connecting two different streets. I will definitely be back! read more
