    Churro French Toast - perfect for the table!
    Crystal C.

    Every time I have visitors in town, this is my go to. Why? The food is delicious, taking care of the bill (if you need to split it and handle it individually) is easy peasy - you can each place your own order, all or the items are large enough to share a bit with everyone, and the ambiance is great! Oh AND the servers are friendly and attentive! Oh AND outdoor seating is available. WIN! Came on a Saturday morning around 11, thought it'd be superrrrrr crowded but my party of 4 actually got seated pretty quickly - within 15 min. Of course last time was a different story, so it's hit or miss! But worth the wait! We tried lots of items and again, all delicious and generous portions. Large enough to share and parking wasn't a nuisance (thank you neighborhood!). Will be back of course!

    The food was really good and the services was nice. You order at your table through the QR code and they bring it right to you. Servers still come by and check on you even though they aren't taking your orders. Will def come back!

    If you're heading to Blu Jam, come prepared with two qualifications: (1) a healthy appetite and (2) decent tech skills. The dining experience has changed quite a bit. Ordering is now done through your phone, or, if you're like me and prefer human interaction, you can walk up to the counter and place your order there. Unfortunately, the traditional waiter-service (although there was a bottle of water on the table) experience is gone, which took away some of the charm that restaurants used to offer. For me, that was a bit of a disappointment. Ironically, I still found myself tipping the cashier. As for the food, there were some highlights. My wife's avocado toast was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My chilaquiles were tasty as well, but not without issues. The eggs were cooked over easy and were much runnier than I would have preferred, and the chicken portion was surprisingly sparse. Overall, the meal was good, but the experience felt a little less personal than it used to. The food still has its moments, but I have to admit, I liked the old Blu Jam better.

    Casual brunch spot. Friendly staff. We stopped by on a Saturday morning and surprisingly there was no wait time. They let us choose where to sit so we decided on the patio since it was a nice outside. You can order through the QR code on the table or go up to the cashier. I ordered the California Omelet with grilled potatoes. It was good but a little on the salty side. I also tried their Shakshuka and was pretty disappointed. It tasted like canned tomatoes with not much seasoning.

    Came here during a week day morning and it was fairly crowded! We were seated right away and explained that there was no traditional wait service but instead we could scan the QR code and order through there or go back to the host stand to order. Thankfully I am tech savvy because I was feeling too lazy to go back to the host stand! The online ordering process is simple and we were thankful for a few vegan options (although more would have been great!). We got the Vegan Tofu Tostada and the Vegan Tex Mex Tofu Scramble. I particularly enjoyed the tofu scramble more for having more spices and seasonings but both were hearty, filling and enjoyable to eat. The potatoes were also tasty but on the heavier side! I got the lavender latte with oat milk which tasted great and was very rich and creamy with an earthy flavor and a subtle sweetness. The ambiance was nice but it definitely felt tight eating there. The seats were comfy but it was noisy! The service was friendly but it felt very slow and not quite attentive enough. I do like the option of dining outside, but it was on the chillier side, so we chose to dine inside! Parking is also very easy in the surrounding neighborhood, with plenty of free parking!

    French toast
    Agnes P.

    Always great food and great service. Tried their huevos rancheros which was amazing, perfectly seasoned potatoes complemented the eggs well. And always the crunchy French toast is a must. Great quantity. Feels like a nice cozy diner with plenty of outdoor seating as well

    This was only the second visit my family and I made to this restaurant, and the second time was better. The food here is absolutely DELICIOUS! Our food was fresh, well prepared, and filling. Prices are moderate but reasonable for the portion sizes. The service offered by every employee we had contact with was top-notch. The restaurant itself is very nice and comfortable, with a relaxed atmosphere. Street parking is available throughout the area. I am unsure about parking in the rear lot, as I was fortunate to find parking in front of the restaurant during my two visits here.

    Blu Jam Eggs Benedict & seasonal fruit
    Julie R.

    The last time I tried this place was 2021 and I didn't enjoy it but I figured I'd give it a second chance. Street parking is available, first 2 hours are free during the day but there is also a small parking lot behind the restaurant, however parking is very limited. Upon entering, you're greeted by a host and have the option of sitting inside or outside. The restaurant operates on a self-seating system & you can either order your own food with a barcode on the table or go up front to the host. If you're the type of person that doesn't really want to interact too much with staff, then this is the spot for you. I ordered the Blu Jam Eggs Benedict with potatoes and it was nothing special. I had to add salt, pepper and lots of hot sauce to enjoy this meal. The potatoes were extremely bland and lacked flavor, I'd recommend ordering them with bell pepper & onions. Overall, if I'm being honest I wouldn't recommend to any of my friends nor would I go back.

    Crunchy French Toast
    Christina C.

    I really love Blu Jam despite how long the wait is, that you can't split checks, and the fact you have to order on your phone. Blu Jam is worth dealing with those annoyances. The food quality is always good, the dessert-style items are great (crepes, french toast), the chilaquiles are a fav, the shakshuka is perfect, rave reviews for the brunch carbonara, and the breakfast burritos are fantastic. I go here all the time with my friends so I think we've eaten almost the entire menu at this point. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the crunchy french toast is absolutely worth a try if you have a sweet tooth!

    Back on the Jam! This steadily busy Blu Jam Cafe in Sherman Oaks is one I enjoy. From the friendly service to the trendy layout and extensive options #SomethingForEveryone Popped in for brunch with my boyfriend and got told to seat ourselves wherever we like - we found a nice spot on the left corner patio, but unfortunately the hostess got overwhelmed briefly and completely forgot about us. 15 minutes later after seeing two nice gentlemen, most like awesome regulars, be shown to a table directly next to us with menus, water and that incredible Blu Jam Cafe charm... I had to go wait a minute lol She was very apologetic and everyone including who I believe might be the manager did whatever they could to make up for those missed beats before. We got guided to ordering online, as you pay upfront before enjoying your meal. Though I know you can order at the front register also. While BJC's has some seriously great vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options - I'm hooked on this Spicy Vegan Tofu Hash the most and it might just be me, but the portions seem bigger than before and I'm all in! Felt a little deja vu as my other half had the iconic Crunch French Toast w/ vanilla bean sauce/syrup. Still lots of classic essentials for the table (ketchup, hot sauce, pepper, salt, plus more) and you get lots of what you need in a pinch. While this is one of their only locations that doesn't offer wine (like sparkling w/ orange to have a great mimosa) or beer, you can enjoy a variety of great juices, teas and coffees. Street parking locally off Ventura Blvd/Noble Avenue recommended, but there is a very small lot in the rear. Free Wi-Fi. Gender neutral restrooms. Great tunes. And overall great for groups, families, friends dates, pets (friendly patio), solo meals and Blu Jam fun.

    California Omelette
    Jasmine D.

    A cute and casual spot for brunch! When you arrive, you can either order and pay at the entrance or scan the QR code at your table and order from your phone. They have an extensive menu, so there's something for everyone! I got the California omelette, which was solid, and I especially loved the jam that came with the bread! Portion sizes are quite generous, making it feel like a great bang for your buck. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall ambiance feels warm, homey, and very much like a neighborhood staple. Seating: Both indoor and outdoor patio seating available Parking: There's a small lot in the back or street parking in the area

    Best French toast in town! Crunchy and crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. They top it with fresh berries and powdered sugar but the white dipping sauce brings it all together. You can still request for syrup. The orange dream shake is ridiculously good. It tastes exactly like an orange dreamsicle but the texture is so smooth and creamy. I really recommend this drink! It's a little pricier but worth it! The churro French toast is also good and they cut those into strips. I prefer the og though. The savory dishes were also good, I've tasted my friends and I've already been back multiple times. Service was friendly, you order from the website and the waiter finds your table to serve. The restaurant is a cute little cafe and it feel very homey. Great brunch spot that has something for everyone.

    I fell in love with this place as soon as we arrived. We were greeted immediately by the nicest gentleman at the door. He didn't have a name tag and I'm sorry I didn't ask for his name. He's one of those people that you go back to see. We were pressed for time so I asked if we could place our order to-go. We ordered Czech style strawberry crepes, an eggwich, a breakfast burrito, Florentine benedict, and matcha rose lattes. The restaurant was bigger than I initially anticipated; It wrapped around back. This restaurant is beautiful inside, and the outdoor seating was beautiful as well. The sweet hispanic lady waiting on the tables on their patio brought us water while we waited. I asked if we could eat quickly if the table was available. We enjoyed a nice brunch and perfect weather. Don't sleep on their matcha rose latte or papas (potatoes). Everything was delicious and every employee we came across was lovely. Thank you for the hospitality, I'd definitely be back next time we're in LA.

There is also large separate side patio area that is great for large parties. The menu is varied, and the food is excellent and fresh. I had the pleasure of meeting owner the last time I was there. She is the loveliest person who takes so much pride in her restaurant.
