Came here on a Monday with my mom and a family friend. Havn't tried coming here on a weekend but don't think I'd wanna chance it. Weekday is a great time to come here if you can. Second time coming here without having to deal with any lineup! I had the Herald St. Omelette. You get to pick 3 fillings for this omelette so I put cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and onion & pepper medley. It was delicious! The hashbrown they gave was really nice too. It was a rectangular shape, had a lovely golden colour to it and nicely crisped on the outside while being soft and moist on the inside. Our family friend ordered the Apples Cinnamon French Toast. It looked very tempting and I might order it for myself next time!

This place was an incredible breakfast find. Go early. The lines formed as we left. Service and all food just nailed it. Pumpkin pancakes and eggs Benny rocked it!

Jam was seriously my most favorite meal during our 1 week stay in Vancouver. Friendly and attentive service, excellent food, and a bright/open space made for a great experience. I ordered the Walnut Pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were a huge, delicious portion and so fluffy. The bacon was incredible - literally some of the best bacon I've ever had. My partner got the Blackstone Benny and the kids shared a fruit cup and side of bacon. Everyone was happy! The staff was super accommodating and friendly to our 2 kiddos (ages 1 & 4). They have high chairs and even a family restroom with a changing table.

The north vancouver location is much bigger than the original Kitsilano location and offers more seating. The service was quick even with a full restaurant. We ordered the old town breakfast and Fried chicken benedict. The fried chicken was crispy served with perfectly poached eggs. Both came with shredded hashbrowns that were crispy and delicious. The portions were generous and the menu had a huge selection to choose from. Presentation was also very aesthetic, the dishes tasted as good as they looked. Always a favourite brunch spot to take visitors to check out in Vancouver.

The menu is deceiving. You think you're getting $4.50 pork sausage but apparently that's the gravy? It's not "pork sausage" OR "mushroom gravy ". This was not explained by my server and I ended up paying $8.50 for sausages. Pancakes here are enormous. Don't expect to eat them in one sitting. I had to pack it to go.

Everything here is just delicious, you can't really go wrong. And some of the unexpected combinations are surprisingly tasty. I would have never ordered 'the Elvis ' if it weren't for a friend wanting to sample the menu, but now I can't wait to go back and have it again! Hearty meals, modern, fun atmosphere and great service. Can't ask for more than that

Stopped by in a group of 3 on a cold rainy Saturday. As expected, there was a line up and we were seated after a relatively short 20 minute wait. Split the Blackstone Benny and the Chicken & Waffles so could have a little of everything. The Blackstone Benny was excellent in taste and presentation. My expectation was high for the Chicken & Waffles...but I was not overly impressed. The presentation was nice but I found the chicken not crispy and the gravy lacked taste. Still it was a great breakfast. And tried the Jam Caesar...with bacon....what? The taste was ok but the presentation was bang on. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend this Jam Cafe.

Went back here after a while, it was great as usual but super busy for a rainy 11:30am. We waited 50 mins before getting a table for three. Food was very good - I ordered the eggs and meatball skillet; it was originally served with a brioche bun but I asked for it to be substituted for has brown and they did it gladly. My friends ordered one of the bowels and French toast; they said it was delicious! Lots of seating. Rustic decor. Constructive feedback: have a better system of managing your seating because the lineup you have at the moment does not work. We were told to line up and that we'd get a table when we were at the front of the line but that wasn't the case, we waited until a table for 3 was available. It might make more sense to have a waitlist and customers put down the number of people in their party, then you can serve them better? Maybe give it a go and see how it goes.

Fantastic experience, excellent food & drinks. We were looking for a good brunch place while on a road trip. We are really glad we found this place, it was a highlight of our trip. Two of us had the Chicken & French Toast, and the other two both got Benedicts. Everyone loved what that they ordered. The Caesar and the Old School Mimosa were great too, as was the coffee. We will be back.

Always so busy even on a weekdays! The host and servers were courteous and attentive. The food were beautifully presented, eggs were nicely cooked to the way we like them. The portions were BIG! Hubby had leftover from his Charlie bowl and I brought home some of the leftover from the chicken coop plate. Despite their well presented plates, I feel like the sausage gravy is lack of seasoning. I had been to the South and these definitely lack of something. My biscuit and friend chicken were dry, I feel like it needs a bit more gravy. Our highlight was the delicious apple cinnamon french toast! The apples were nicely caramelized and the brioche french toast were soft, had some crispy parts and the cinnamon were balanced. The place was busy but not too noisy. Our out of town guests loved the place and enjoyed their brunch! Parking can be a hassle around Lower Lonsdale, so come early!

Located on the corner, street parking and a pay lot near restaurant. Came in on a Wednesday late morning, it was busy. Everything ordered was delicious. The maple butter waffle was my favorite. Eggs, and hash browns were cooked perfectly. The house made jam was a nice surprise. Side order of sausage gravy was so flavorful it's now my favorite gravy to date. Restaurant has a diner decor inside quaint seating and some ample tables for larger parties. Staff were friendly and did great in checking in. When in Vancouver I will be back!

I always like Jam Cafe as the food is really good and they have boozy coffee and drinks. Great combination! The best thing about this location is the lack of a line on a weekday. It makes it so much more accessible for me. Many times I want to dine at Jam Cafe in Vancouver but the lines outside even on weekday mornings deterred me. I guess this will be my go to until I see lines all the time. Service is friendly and ok. Need to flag them down for water top up though. I finally get to try the Charlie Bowl after hearing so much good things about it. Sadly I was very underwhelmed by it. I think the lack of color, mostly beige after the eggs are gone, played a part. I had no idea what I was eating. The biscuits were a bit dry. Surprisingly it actually tasted better the next day after I microwaved it. Not so dry after that. The portion was huge and I couldn't finish it. Looking at other diners' dishes, it seemed like everything was a generous portion. Come here very hungry. I would get my favorite fried chicken with waffles, French toast or Benny in future. That never disappoint. The Fat Elvis also looked so good. I'll be back again. Street parking is available.

Happened to stumble upon this place in Vancouver, and so lucky we did. There was a line already outside, that moves relatively quickly. Staff is really friendly and service is quick. The food was delicious! I had the fried chicken Benedict. It had some southwest flare with corn and tomatoes. Chicken was juicy and crispy and their potato hash browns were really good, kids absolutely loved them. Husband had the smoked salmon Benedict was that also really good. Eggs were nice and runny, everything was fresh! Kids also had the apple and walnut pancakes which was decadent and fluffy. Tasted so good, like eating an apple pie. Kids dug into them so fast, couldn't get a nice pic. Would definitely come back here again. The interior is very cute and cozy feeling with a huge moose head over the reclaimed wood (cabinet doors) fireplace
