Went around 10 am for a late breakfast. Hubby was craving the shakshouka. I ordered the eggwich and shared it with my daughter. She had the green soup. Everyone got ginger shots with my Yelp check-in! The eggwich had a fried egg, bacon, lettuce and tomato on a wonderful toasted bread! It was delicious! Thry served it with house potatoes. There is free parking behind the restaurant. We wanted to sit inside so we signed in on the iPad outside and waited until we got a text to go inside. All ordering and payment are done by phone. Servers deliver the food when it's ready. The process is quick and efficient! They move people in and out of the restaurant quickly! The food was good so we might be back tomorrow. read more

I've been coming here for years! I have several for allergies but was able to find something with no modifications. I really don't like that there's no servers anymore. Upon checking in I had a rude encounter with a guest who felt entitled to cut in front of my elder mother quite physically abrasive while also being large in stature invading our personal space because she wanted to order her food and the line she was in was taking too long. I don't have time for drama so I shut her down when she tried to get loud and obnoxious but this would not have happened if guest weren't forced to come to the front to order their food if they are paying cash. Other than the rude woman our food and rinks were great and everything came out quickly. read more

My daughter and I came here for lunch. I was so glad no waitlist. Yay! I ordered the Norwegian Benedict with a side of grilled potatoes. The eggs were poached to perfection and the potatoes are crispy but soft inside. Food was well seasoned. My daughter had the Crunchy French Toast and ordered a side of potatoes. She devoured it to the last bite. The place was casual. Inside got full fast due to the chilly weather. Customers are in and out. read more

Casual brunch spot in Sherman Oaks. Super convenient to order, just scan the QR code and pay from your phone. Comes in handy so you don't have to calculate how to split the bill :) Went with two old friends to catch up and we left full and satisfied. I satisfied my sweet tooth with the French Toast Churros. WOW. Can't wait to try more things from their menu. read more

Met some friends here on a weekday morning with my mom who was visiting from outta town. I had the chilaquiles which had good flavor but my chips were soggy I like it better when there still crunchy, but the flavor was good. Mom had French toast which she said she liked, just wish they had some syrup. The host was nice n remembered my mom wanted the special but I ordered the regular French toast and he brought it out to her which was very sweet and thoughtful. We got free Ginger shots for checking in and it was spicy as expected lol read more

Sunday Brunch - Casual. No reservations. Can put your name in online if you are close by. Came here on a Sunday around 11:00am put my name in and it said 45 minutes but probably only took 30 before we were seated. The food was great same with the latte I had. I see why the French toast is a fan favorite, it was delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside seating is alittle outdated - seems like an old cafe but the outdoor bench seating seems more fun and brunchy. I did take away two stars. One for the weird payment and order system. You have to order on your phone or with the hostess at the front. Very inconvenience especially for older patrons who may not be tech savvy. Then before your order goes in you have to pay and tip which is bizarre. Why would I tip prior to knowing how the service is? Seemed a little scammy especially when the prices are pretty high. I ended up paying over $35 for French toast and a latte. The hours are also very limited as they close at 2pm. Parking can be challenging. I would come back but I wasn't impressed by any means. Overall, 3/5 read more

Food was good. The servings were big definitely shareable. I feel like the wait staff wasn't very attentive. But we enjoyed the food

We were a party of 4 and when the meal was over, we turned to each other and all said: "That was delicious!" You order on your phone and the food comes out super fast. I ordered the Oatmeal and it was creamy and covered in luscious berries. The star of the show was the Matcha Rose Latte (with rose petals floating on top). It was off-the-charts delicious! Best Latte ever! read more

Came to Blu Jam for the first time in years and will definitely come back more often. The food (even Vegan options) were so good! I had the Migas and split the Churro french toast and both were so yummy! Food came out promptly, and service was the best! Thanks for taking care of us Manny!! read more

simply horrible. cleanliness failed, food quality failed, atmosphere failed. don't waste your time or money

After discovering that the usual Blu Jam Cafe we went to in Tarzana had closed, we decided to make the drive to this location. Best decision of the year for us! The staff is very friendly, attentive, and they hustle to take care of you - you can tell they are used to being busy even though we were there at a slower time of day. But hands-down the best part of our experience was Jeff, who I believe is the manager there? He made us feel welcome, has a delightful attitude, and better yet took special care of my wife when he found out it was her birthday. Plus the food was absolutely perfect and a level above what we'd come to expect from the Tarzana location. Our order was brought out quickly and cooked exactly as requested. We ordered the Eggwich to share with eggs over medium and well done grilled potatoes so to get it exactly as ordered was nice. We finished the meal off with a surprise Crunchy French Toast with candle brought over by Jeff to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was a great way to start off our day and because of the service and food quality we will definitely make the trip out here next time we want to get our Blu Jam on. read more

I'm now a regular here, we come every week! Food never disappoints, there's always a consistency of flavors. The Strawberry and Creme latte was not good, very bitter and sour. Though, the server was really sweet and tried fixing the latte for me, but it still did not turn out good. So, he told me he wanted me to get something that I liked, I ended up picking the Vanilla latte, he customized it to my taste. It turned out really good and honestly made my day; on that house too! He was really attentive and always there whenever we go to greet us. Unfortunately, I didn't ask for his name, but he always makes sure we like what we get. read more

This is my FAVORITE breakfast place! We have breakfast here every Monday, and it's such a pleasure to be greeted by Jeff, the manager, and his staff. Besides making us feel like we're family, the food is delicious! This morning, the breakfast potatoes were EXCEPTIONALLY good - perfectly crispy on the edges, perfectly prepared as a great accompaniment to the omelet that I ordered. I love this place!!!!! read more

Nice little cafe right on Ventura Blvd. Food was quick and tasty. Waitress was very nice and helpful.

The food and service are always on point. Always nice and easy to be there and enjoy breaky alone or with friends. My fav is the breakfast carbonara with a side of nitrate free bacon. I like my eggs softly scrambled. Oh man I think I'm going now. So so good ! read more

I love Blu Jam and the plethora of menu options they have for people with various diets. The waitlist process is simple, you can sign up on their tablet or on your phone via yelp. Lots of nearby street parking on Ventura/in the neighborhood, though sometimes it takes a while to find a spot since the area can get a bit busy. They have monthly specials, all of which looked delicious, but I opted for my favorite dish at this most recent visit, the tex-mex tofu hash. Portions are large, so come hungry, share, or take home leftovers. Love the yelp check in offer for a ginger shot as well! read more

Blu Jam Cafe - My favorite menu item- Spicy Vegan Tex Mex Tofu Hash!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Horrible service model! I wanted to love this place. We often drive through LA and thought I found a gem. A few minutes after walking in someone finally asked if we were checked in already. Then we were directed outside to a QR code where we could add ourselves to the waitlist. 15 minutes later, we were seated. After asking if this was our first time there, staff "reminded" us that they don't have servers, so we could scan the QR code on the table to place our order or go back to the front and order at the register. After placing our order and finalizing payment, our confirmation stated that our food would be ready in 50 minutes! While waiting, I reviewed their website because surely I missed where they describe their business model but couldn't find anything to that effect. This kind of information should be on their homepage so customers know what to expect. I was ready to give one star review but our food came within 20 minutes of placing our order so I added one more star. The food was average. As others have stated, potatoes are bland, but to be fair, it's rare to find a place that has tasty breakfast potatoes. I don't usually write reviews but this was bad and we won't be coming back. read more

It took me a while to finally post a review but I have to say, there was never a time where I left one of Blu Jams locations unsatisfied. Everything from the sweet breakfast items such as their renowned French toast all the way to their savory scrambles and eggs Benedict, none of their dishes has ever left me thinking "Hmm, that could have been better." I usually go with the make your own scramble with a side of French toast and I'm never disappointed. The eggs are always cooked perfectly; not runny and undercooked nor is it hard and overcooked. The home potatoes are absolutely my favorite, crispy and well seasoned. The French toast comes loaded with fresh fruits/berries and have never been soggy or limp and since the portions are so large, tend to make a great snack for later throughout the day. Blu Jam is also the only breakfast place where I don't drown the food in ketchup/hotsauce, which is indicative of a well cooked and seasoned breakfast. Pros: *Consistently delicious *No frills, no hassle, semi self-service ordering *The quality and taste of a $$$$ brunch spot without the $$$$ price *Generous portions *Friendly and efficient staff Cons: *A little crowded for inside dining but makes up for it with outside seating. Not a big deal until the summer months, when it kind of sucks to be outside read more

It is obvious that this place prides itself on exceptional customer service. All of the servers were overly accommodating and great. And the food is amazing read more

Been wanting to try this place and finally was able to on a (rainy) Thursday; a friend and I were on the waitlist for approx 10 minutes and then were sat. The (I'm assuming) manager explained the two ways to order (at the counter or via a Qcode on the table); very convenient. I got the breakfast burger and it was good (a bit messy but worth it!). The parking lot is in the back but there's meter parking on Ventura. I'd like to go back on a sunny day and try another item. read more

Most of these reviews must be from before they went digital. While the food was fine, the service was so horrendous I can't give it more than two stars. You order on an iPad, you can make no changes. There are the occasional waiter walking around but they ignore you. Won't be returning. read more

Food was decent but a bit over priced. The French press that is $9 which consists of three 6oz pours is too much for one and not enough for two. If you're going alone you're going to drop $40+ after tip for yourself. Won't say I'll rush back. read more

Really cool breakfast/ brunch spot. Interesting concept. No servers. You either place snd pay for your order online with their app or the website, or go to the cashier give your table number, order and pay. The food will be brought to your table. They have a nice menu with something for everyone. I love that you don't have to have potatoes with your breakfast they offer greens also. The app is easy to use and offers substitutions and extras. The food is big, and delicious. I got the Migas with greens, I added avocado and sour cream. The spice level was perfect not too spicy but enough you can still feel a burn but can taste your food. If you want more heat and really fresh bright flavor add the hot sauce they have on the table, Tabanero pic below. It was so good. Small place , gets busy, especially on weekends. Nice amount of outside seating. read more

I've been coming to Blue Jam for years - it's comfortable, easy, and a good bet for a variety of taste buds. It's a pretty common breakfast and lunch spot, staff are friendly, food is fine. Nothing to write home about but a trusted and uncomplicated place for a meal. They have a nice outdoor area and can accommodate a semi-large party. read more

This will be our first and last time here. Wasn't aware of the concept before we came. They say it's "counter service" but it's more like self service since you're not placing an order at a register and given a number. We tried to order on our phones and after selecting our food we couldn't check out so my husband went to the counter to have one of the employees help place the order. After we got our food my order was missing the egg and the salad dressing was also all over the top of my burger, whoops. who do you tell when your order is wrong? That part was fine but the ordering process is just ridiculous. it's just not the place for us. I prefer to have a server! Or at least have the order taken by someone at the counter. The whole process was a pain. The staff was all very friendly though. read more

A little wait but worth it !! Food is delicious especially their jam !! Looks small but its bigger than it seems

Blue Jam Cafe is my go to for breakfast when I am in town from Maui. Today 7/29/2025 I placed an order online Create Your Own Open face omelete..4 items were required but I did not see avocado as an add-on...I already paid for my order and noted in the note box if avocado can be added...but was totally ok if it wasnt possible since I already paid. To my surprise...when I got home I opened the to go box and saw half of an avocado! Thank you SO much Blue Jam' so appreciate your kindness. The food is always yummy & consistent. Theres always a line of people waiting outside. Worth the wait! Usually get seated fairly quickly...this time I got breakfast to go! See you on my next visit Aloha! Aly read more

Blu Jam has and always will be my staple brunch spot. It has never disappointed me and is reliable for a solid brunch spot for any occasion. From the food, to the ambiance, to the speedy waiters, there's not much not to like. Their crunchy French toast is so unique and perfectly crunchy and delicious without being too sweet. I love almost all of their savory dishes especially the Italian breakfast and Migas! As a vegetarian, I've never had an issue finding a new dish to try here. Their coffees are great too! I love that you order at the table through a QR code. Just makes it so efficient and easy. It's such a cute location too on Ventura Blvd in walking distance to other shops and stores. read more

I had been to Blue Jam Cafe a few years back with a few friends two years or so ago & had a wonderful experience on the back patio. I no longer live in Sherman oaks, but wanted to spend holiday time with a friend. We saw a ton of people waiting for seats, my friend had arrived 1st & put our name in.. A girl handed us menus & we wandered to an open table on our own that was in the shade but with sun...I noticed we were at table 47 with a QR Code. We started looking at the menu & pulled up the QR Code... Nobody came over for a while...it was confusing. Eventually a girl saw us futzing around with our menus, looking for anyone to help us. She asked if we had been there before, we replied that we had each come some time back. She thanked us for coming back & asked if we knew their structure? "NO" we did not. She said you just order & pay from the QR Code & they bring it out. So my friend asked about if we each order our own thing or if it just be one person for the table. She said it is best to do on one order because everything comes out at once. So we placed our, what seemed to be a "TO GO ORDER" sitting at our table...without water or anything, so it had now had been, what seemed like 20 minutes, with no service, or questions answered. We could have just ordered from DOOR DASH if we wanted that type of service. How do you know what is good? This is not an experience I ever want again. I enjoyed the time with my friend, but will never go there again nor will I recommend that experience to anyone. It is impersonal, & not very service oriented...I did not want to order anything else & incur other charges. By the way, my friend got stuck with the bill...since it was only 1 check As former waiter & barista, we did not like this dining out experience. We like the banter between wait staff & customers & getting the low down on what is good or not. This was too impersonal for us. We will never be back. Good luck people! If you know what you want & do not want to talk to people this is perfect for you! read more

Very impersonal service. Over priced. I ordered a basic bacon and egg breakfast and everything was cold. Ordered my eggs scrambled soft and they came overcooked. You can't just order a cup af coffee but have to order an $8+ cold press which was lukewarm at best. They said the toast was going to be rustic Italian and it was a plane white bread and only 1 small piece, cold and dry with 1 near frozed tab of butter. Broak the bread trying to butter it! The breakfast potatoes were, again cold, dry and overcooked. You get all that for an over priced $31+. Wow! Save your money. You can get a better breakfast at McDonald's read more

The waiters was racists with us. She told me to scan the menu if we need to order something and the next table was a guy and she took the order right away without scan the menu.ee wait like 45 minutes for us to get the order. Feel sad cause was my daughter birthday we went celebrating. The lady who was cleaning the table was very nice and she apologize about what the waiters did to us. read more

There were seven in my party, and none of us had been here before; but we all had heard wonderful things about Blue Jam. We were surprised by the no cash policy, and the choice of ordering at the host desk or at the table using the QR code. We chose the latter. (Tried to see if payment info was mentioned on the website--didn't see that policy mentioned; could have been overlooked.) Everyone (except one) enjoyed their meals, stating that the food was delicious and plentiful. The one common concern: tipping! Ordering using the code requires payment before receiving food with the option to tip before receiving adequate service, hence the three stars instead of five. Cups of coffee were ordered and no server returned to ask if we wanted refills. No server returned to ask if there was anything that we needed after bringing our food. So the 20% tip that many of us paid upfront was for someone to bring us our plates--that's it! We placed our own orders and received minimal service. I recently read another review mentioning bland breakfast potatoes. I second that opinion. Nevertheless, I am glad that I experienced it; but not a restaurant that I would recommend or frequent. Typical Ventura Boulevard restaurant with substandard parking and substandard service, but decent food and portions for a mid morning gathering. RESTAURANT'S RESPONSE NOTED...in comparison to responses with similar reviews. read more

Food is ok but service or lack of service is awful. Everything is done via QR code. Should you need anything you have to try to get somebody's attention. So you have no server. It use to be way better before they did this. We will hot be back. We also celebrated a birthday they brought a candle that was not lit and said they were out of matches. That's fine but the candle was used and half melted. Yuck! read more
