We wanted to change in our regular breakfast place. My aunt had eaten here over the weekend, and they loved it. So when we decided to go to breakfast, I was thinking we were going to go to our regular place. She said let's go to Honey Jam. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Being a workday, it wasn't crowded at all. We we had a booth in the back of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Lupe was very nice and sweet since we were catching up. She didn't want to keep asking us if we were ready. So she told us that she will wait for us. There are so many options so we looked through the menu a few times. When she was here over the weekend, someone had ordered the breakfast tacos. So she had a taste for the breakfast tacos and that's what she ordered. I saw avocado on sourdough bread and that was mine. She said the tater tots are really good. And asked for them to be crispy. When the food came, it looked delicious. There were three tacos in the breakfast tacos and looked so filling. The avocado toast looked good. And I was ready to dig in. The tater tots crisped up were delicious. I asked for over easy eggs on my avocado toast. The yolk used over the toast and it was so good. I would come back to try other things. The staff is friendly. We will be back. read more

It was nice seeing Valerie today who didn't want to serve us (kidding) and handed us off to Johnny, who was super attentive and continuously followed up to make sure we're okay. Also got to see Erica who keeps things running smoothly as always. Best surprise was getting to see Emma who just got back last night. She made my day recognizing me after 6 months being away and shared her good news and fun adventures ahead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a home away from home for me on top of the delicious food and fresh atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in the area! While it's always busy, it's not a long wait to get a table usually - and we almost always get seated almost immediately. Service is friendly and speedy, and the menu has a ton of variety. The seasonal menu rotates frequently and always has at least a couple of options I'm really interested in trying! read more

This was our first time coming to this location for lunch. Huge parking lot. We walked in and were greeted within a min. We were seated immediately even though it was packed. We ordered strawberry orange juice, horchata coffee, supreme omelette with pumpkin pancakes, and potato pancake benedict. The food was pretty solid. The strawberry orange juice was made fresh and definitely worth getting. Food portions were generous so you could bring home leftovers. Quality of food was good, nothing was poor. Service was attentive. read more

How is a BLT with an orange juice and a 18% tip $28!?! It's not like the expense is in the ingredients or effort to make it... I'd love to hear how the ownership justifies that pricing. How do you expect people to pay for that price and tip your staff? I wonder if your staffing is missing out crucial tips purely based on the over-pricing of your food- especially a simple BLT. read more

Honey Jam is my favorite breakfast restaurant in the western burbs! My wife and I have been several times without ever having a bad meal or experience. The food is always delicious - throw a dart at the menu and you're guaranteed to have something delicious. The drink menu has tons of staples plus speciality teas & coffees. Service here is always friendly and quick. Will definitely be back read more

Have always had a great experience at Honey Jam. This is one of my family's favorite diners to stop by in the area for a quick breakfast. The servers are friendly, the service and wait time is fast and efficient, and the portions are quite generous. I usually have leftovers I can take home to make an extra meal or hearty snack out of. Lately, they've been doing some renovations in the restaurant. We got to dine in one of the rooms towards the back that seem to be recently finished. It was extremely clean and welcoming to sit in. My favorite things to order here are the nova lox, Reuben, pancakes, and Horchata coffee. I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes. These are topped with a delicious tangy and sweet blueberry compote as well as swirls of cream cheese frosting. Will definitely be back! read more

Honey Jam Day Cafe - Blueberry pancakes - Burgers Near Me - Downers grove, Illinois

We aren't in this area often and came here because we were hungry. Lunchtime seated immediately and were greeted and served very quickly. Staff was super friendly and efficient. Hubs had a breakfast skillet and I had the best Monte Cristo sandwich in 20 years! Freshly made chips and cinnamon/sugar donuts are killer! Highly recommend! Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but the freshness and quality justify them. read more

We've been here before but they still haven't updated their new restaurant location so I'll help them out a bit.. This was the former Downers Delight Restaurant. I guess the owner's retired and now it is Honey- Jam Cafe. I usually get their Country Benedict which is a split biscuit topped with savory sausage patties, sausage gravy and two poached eggs. Killer sausage gravy!! Everything is excellent- nice and very friendly staff. Definitely come check them out you won't be disappointed! Yummmm!! read more

Honey Jam Day Cafe - Honey Jam coffee is fantastic! - Burgers Near Me - Downers grove, Illinois

There's definitely no shortage of breakfast restaurants in my area and I'm determined to try each one. We come very early since we have a toddler and it makes it easier on us when it's not crowded or busy. My husband got the strawberry crepes, I got Julian's benedict and I always get a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy because it's a guilty pleasure of mine. They serve their coffee in cute mugs and the OJ was good. I appreciate that they made my dish without salt for me. The biscuits and gravy are decent, I always add a heavy dusting of pepper. I heard no complaints about the crepes. Portions were generous, we had enough for another meal. Service was good and quick, again we were there at like 8a so not many tables taken. read more

Our nephew was in from Tokyo and we had the opportunity to take him out for lunch. We've been to Honey Jam's predecessor for breakfast and loved it, but it was lunch time and I didn't think we were out for breakfast. Our nephew chose a wonderful meal with blueberry pancakes. My wife went to her favorite soup and I decided on something in between Divorciados. I first have to say that our server/waiter was awesome. He recognized we were not in a hurry, giving us time to review the menu to make our decisions. He asked for our drinks and I have to say you could get more than coffee and tea. We settled on sweet tea, tea and diet Pepsi for me. Conversation continued while we anticipated our meals and there was no rush to finish, but just an occasional check in if we needed anything from our waiter. Our meals were great perfectly cooked at an optimal temperature when served. Please see my photos for how they looked. We'll be back again read more

Unexpected, great experience. Despite being very busy and crowded, the employees were all so pleasant friendly. The food was phenomenal (s'mores pancakes & canadian bacon). Even the restroom was clean and well kept. Overall great experience. Will definitely visit again when in town. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Went to Honey Jan mid week, it was still very crowded, however the usher found us a good booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Though the ambiance was good but the furnishing was a bit out dated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the meat skillet with blue berry pancake and my friend ordered veggi skillet, coffee can survive. Both were excellent. Coffee was reasonable, but the blue berry pancake was out of this world. I will go there any time again read more

Our server Guadalupe was great, very attentive and nice, and she split our meal for us and it was so much food. Everything was amazing. We will be back for sure. read more

Honey Jam Day Cafe - SMOTHERED BISCUIT AND GRAVY SKILLET and Lemonberry Cheescake Pancakes - Burgers Near Me - Downers grove, Illinois

We love Honey Jam!! Have been here a bunch and never disappointed. They have a ton of breakfast and lunch options, all of which are delicious and portioned generously. They have a bunch of coffee/breakfast drink options as well. Jonnie has been our waiter a bunch and he's always so nice. We love coming here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a nice outdoor patio when it's nice out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Have never had to wait for a table. Definitely worth going! read more

I must say that while the food quality and portion have decreased, it seems the prices increased...the food to price ratio is off. I've been a patron of Honey Jam for over 10 years, the highlight of starting off my Saturday mornings and recently my occasional weekday visits. But I can no longer justify paying for the diminishing value. Popeye (scrambler) without the spinach is blasphemy! Very miniscule portions of spinach and bacon, a few mushrooms here and there. One time, my OJ was diluted, in color and taste. These scattered, crispy, hash browns aren't the greatest either... everything screams cheap!!! I'm starting to wonder if all the renovations and acquisitions are causing a pinch??? Nonetheless, the service is always impeccable...I just wish the food was too. read more

This place is way too expensive. Also check your receipt because they like to pad it to get more money. I ordered a grilled cheese and my husband ordered a waffle combo. The bill without the tip was 37.00. Are you kidding me. It was not even that good. They charged me for a deluxe grilled cheese and just removed all items I will never go back!! read more

Honey Jam Day Cafe - The receipt for my plain grilled cheese. Unreal. What nerve they have - Burgers Near Me - Downers grove, Illinois

Kids pancakes were burnt. Rainbow pancakes come with 5 M&Ms. Chilaquiles had a completely soft tortilla. Whole food experience was terrible. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was seated pretty quickly on a Saturday morning. Our server John was very sweet and attentive. Menu has a ton of food and drink options, more variety and fun items than your typical breakfast chain. Would visit again! read more

Sunday lunch was awesome! Great service! Place was really busy and the wait for our food was less than 10 minutes! Amazing!! Food was really good! Highly recommend the cream of chicken rice soup!! read more

Now I know why I don't come here anymore: the food has gotten so downhill. Overcooked hash browns, over ripped avocados, over cooked salmon, etc. All they're doing now is raising prices but keeping the quality crap. Unfortunately I will not be coming back here, or any of the other establishments located in the midwest. read more

One of the few places around with a lox platter. Theirs is excellent. I've also enjoyed other breakfast items, never disappointed. Service has always been great. read more

I hosted a shower in their event space . It was a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So many compliments on how pretty the room was , the food and the great wait staff ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean , private entrance and bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Totally recommend read more

Breakfast burrito is a certified slapper!! The staff is always friendly and attentive!

Terrible service and the food is mediocre at best and very disappointing and the prices are way too expensive

I didn't enjoy it. I sat for 8 mins before anyone came over. I noted this because there was 4 ladies standing near register but I was still ignored during non peak hours. My coffee was flat. I asked the waitress twice for soft eggs while placing my order. They were overcooked and not edible. Waitress noticed that none of the eggs were eaten and she never refilled coffee but didnt offer to deduct anything. I didn't bother to ask cause I don't plan to return and I don't recommend. read more

Definitely not worth the money. I spent $40.00 on pancakes 2 eggs a few sausage pattys and one slice of French toast. What a rip off. It's still downers delight make no mistake. They didn't change anything but the sign out front. Hard pass on this place. read more

Nothing special, Pricey, decent food. Very dated interior. Service was good. Better options out there. Kinda liked the business when it was Downers Delights... read more

Some of the waitresses seem prejudice. I hate having this feeling but this has happened to me a couple of times. I noticed the different interactions between customers. I over looked it the first time but this time the restaurant was wasn't busy so therefore, I had a chance to do a more clearer observation. This is said because I frequent this restaurant chain very often and visit at lease 1 to 2 times per week because the food is pretty good and the locations are great. Lately my visits have been more frequent just to get out of the house alone just to get a piece of mind. Tip: Treat people like you like to be treated, you never know what a person may be going through. Ethical training is STRONGLY suggested. read more

So glad they opened a location closer to my house. Have also eaten at Bolingbrook and DG locations. This location has great parking. Appreciated the divider walls between the booths, as a nod to Covid safety. Food and service were great. Have been to other breakfast only restaurants, and this one is the best. Denver omelette was moist, fluffy, and loaded with ham and peppers. Crepes were tasty and tender. Bacon was delicious. Chai latte was delicious. Only went there once when it was Downers Delight, and I had no complaints, but will definitely be back to this Honey Jam. read more

This morning was my first time here since Honey Jam purchased the business from Downers Delight. What a disapointment. Let's start out with the coffee. I added the cream that was on the table to my hot coffee, and low and behold...it curdled. When I told the waiter, instead of apologizing and getting me a fresh cup, he proceeded to lecture me that the cream on the tables is always out and that it doesn't need refrigeration. So, I show him the cup of coffee with the curdled cream. He then repeats his lecture on how the cream does not require refrigeration. When I finally pushed the coffee cup away in front of him, he then offers me some 2 percent milk as a substitute and brings me a fresh cup. OK, so now I place my order...strawberry crepes with a side of bacon..."soft" and a large orange juice. The food comes and the bacon is so overcooked that it looks like shoe leather and tastes pretty much the same...and as the waiter puts the plate down, he has the nerve to say..."strawberry crepes with bacon soft." I was hoping for a better breakfast experience, so I guess I won't be visiting this establishment again. Poor service and the cooks don't know how to follow instructions. read more

We have eaten here 3 times since it has changed from Downers Delight to Honey Jam Cafe. 2 of 3 visits Food was great, fresh and large portions. Service has always been prompt and friendly. We've gotten Specialty French toast, pancakes, omelets and skillets, all were excellent. Only thing sub par was the chopped salad which was missing most of the things the menu said it would have but they did bring additional ingredients for me to add though it took 2-3 times until it was finally right. In the end they were apologetic and ending up comping us for the salad due to the mistakes and they were very nice about it. So I am probably going to stick with the breakfast items which have all been excellent, but will definitely be back. read more

This place is great, everyone is friendly and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy especially during cold weather!
