"We just got jammed!" said my husband after we waited in a TWO HOUR LINE to eat here. Holy smokes. Look the food is good. We picked this place for the red velvet pancakes and they did not disappoint. They were incredibly fluffy and filling, but this place does not live up to the hype. It's too late for me but it's not too late for you. Give yourself two hours of your life back and go have lunch somewhere else! read more

Excellent selection of coffees and desserts. Great service with pricing to match! Thank you. Becca.

I'm normally not a fan of breakfast, but the food here was AMAZING. I ordered The Old Town Breakfast - scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and rye bread. It was filling and delicious. My husband ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and loved it. The coffee was excellent, and the service here was phenomenal! read more

Charlie bowl is definitely a must order - though I recommend the small Charlie bowl for people with small-med appetites. No 2 hours line ups like Medinas! Great value and food! read more

A bit of a wait to get in. Once you're in though, the staff are super friendly and extremely attentive. My coffee and water never went empty. I had the Farmer's Skillet and it was fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

I was unfortunately pretty disappointed. I had been waiting for a good opportunity to visit this place since the big lineups had caught my attention in the past. I ended up going with a friend who kindly took me to the hospital to get a procedure done that required fasting, so I was pretty hungry by the time we got there. The portions are generous, but the food is not out of the ordinary to justify the lineups. On top of that, their coffee is by far one of the worst in town. My friend and I love strong and flavorful coffee and there is plenty of great coffee in Vancouver. The service was very poor too. Overall, not good. Sadly, I will not go back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

We waited in line outside for about 45 minutes for breakfast on a Friday morning but they came around taking coffee orders in line which really helped. The menu is full of a bunch of options. I liked my skillet but my bacon wasn't very well done and a bit too thick for my taste. So I'll try something else next time but lots of options and great cozy atmosphere read more

Even on. Wednesday morning this place had a line out the door. Nevertheless, it was worth it. Best breakfast I've probably ever had. Pro-tip: order double bacon, you won't regret it read more

My friends & I were visiting Canada & this place definitely did not disappoint. Once we arrived, there was already a line to get seated. The line didn't feel as long as it looked. I ordered the gravy coop & it was poppin!! Their sweet potato fries were really good too. What really sold me was that this place was able to give my friends & I separate checks AND split the cost of the items we shared. I'm not sure if that's a norm in Canada, but restaurants definitely don't do that in the Bay Area. I'd go back to Canada just to eat here :-) read more

Good food but terrible queuing process. We waited for 1 hour while it's snowing outside ! They simply can take names or provide buzzers to call people instead on waiting in a line to be seated ! read more

Jam cafe is your classic breakfast joint. The Carlie bowl is perfect for anyone with a big appetite. There is always a huge line down the block so come early. read more

Heard a lot of great things about Jam Cafe and wanted to see if it was true. Wanted in line for around 1 hour in rain and would have wanted 2 hours as food and service was AMAZING! While waiting the owner ( I think) came out with a tray of waffles for people to try which I thought was an exceptional customer experience and ordered when we got in as an appetizer. A must stop for any foodie while in Vancouver! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Large portions. Great service. Great atmosphere. Food was fabulous. read more

Jam Cafe on Beatty - Awesome charming little place. Small, but the wait wasn't bad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We came here on a Tuesday morning for brunch. I had the eggs Benedict with classic ham. it was so damn good!!!! I'll be raving about the medium poached egg forever. read more

The food and service were outstanding. I ordered the chicken waffles and would definitely order the same food again. The sauce was just right for my palate with a perfect combination of saltiness and sweetness. The sauce was perfect for both the chicken breast and the waffles. Although I don't know for sure but the sauce was fatty and just right for my #ketogenic diet. I ordered a half avocado to add to my #keto requirements for the day. read more

Having seen long lines every time we went past this place we were looking forward to try the food here, so finally we decided to wake up early in the morning and stand in line outside at 7:45. The plan worked and we were able to get a seat at 8 when the cafe opened. We were really excited to try the food and ordered a charlie bowl and chicken and french toast. To be frank they were just ok nothing life changing. We felt that the food was just large portion sizes with ampedup calorie count (which might be one of the reason for it's popularity). It didn't have a wow factor for us. We felt that the food was hyped and not worth the long lines. We have also had breakfast at chambar which is right next door, which we enjoyed far more than what we had here.If you care about large portion sizes than you might enjoy it but for us flavor is more important. We might one day decide to give this place another go but the first experience was disappointing. read more

Get here early. There was a line for a reason! Tasty brunch/breakfast. The cocktails were delicious (my husband and I had to come back twice to try more of them). The food was delicious- definitely large portions. read more

It's total hangover food.... the problem is.... if you are hungover waiting in an hour line is the absolute LAST thing you would want to do. So there's that....... It's VERY indulgent and some place I wouldn't want to go weekly.... mostly because I would be 500lbs. Delish though! Great shredded hash which is my fave! read more

Had the chicken French toast and my fiancé ordered the green eggs and ham. We both loved the food and managed to finish everything (which is a big deal considering how generous the portions are)! The place is clean and the decor is unique (I think the owner said his wife made most of it, which I think is amazing). Only negative thing to say is that there is almost always a line, but that's the price to pay for good food at a popular place. The staff go outside regularly to take names down and give estimated times, and the lines don't take that long anyhow, so give it a go if you don't mind a short wait. read more

Pancake portions - you will laugh so hard....THEN realize you have to eat that hahaha. The portions are ridiculously large we shared the red velvet amongst 7 people and had left overs Chicken and waffles - chicken was moist and yummy, waffle was okay could have been crispier The big charlie - i tasted it, its ok to me, everyone else at the table loved it. I think its dependent on whether you like sausage gravy? I'm so-so about it. Line - ridiculously long, would I have waited again? probably not. read more

Got lunch here one day and when I tasted it I understood the hype. If you can go at a time when the queues aren't too long I'd definitely recommend it. read more

amazing place with awesome menu and great service. I had the chicken waffles, my daughter had stuffed waffles with banana and nutella. All was awesome. Worth waiting in line for sure. Would wait 90 minutes if I had to but fortunately we waited only 30 mins. Just do it!! read more

Amazing breakfast and totally worth the wait! However, even if you are starving you will not be able to eat even half of the Charlie bowl- it's huge so you'll have leftovers. The sugar candied bacon is also top notch. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Large portions and friendly staff. I had the Sicilian omelette and it was flavorful, moist. The jam that came with the toast was amazing--couldn't get enough of it. Will definitely return. read more

We got there around 8:45am and had no wait. Lucky for us because as we finished up and were walking out, the line was LONG! And you gotta stand outside. So if it's a rainy day- I'd recommend getting there early. But totally worth the wait if you do have to wait. I got the skillet feature which had mushrooms, spinach, eggs all atop a crispy hash brown with onion jelly on top and goat cheese. My hubs got the pork belly bene and it was also delic! The house made green sauce on the table was also amazing! Everything being served looked delectable! Highly recommend. read more

We waited outside 45 minutes in order to have breakfast here and it was well worth the wait. Not to mention the manager came out and allowed us to sample the waffles which were delicious!This place has a nice vibe, great food and friendly staff. We can't wait to visit again next time in Vancouver. read more

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and I stopped here after a morning 5 mile run around the city to work up an appetite. I arrived a little before 9 and there was a line! I got in line and searched around for an alternative breakfasts place because I was hungry and impatient. Nothing else nearby looked good after a few minutes of searching... I glanced up and I was near the front of the line! Score!! Since I was dining by myself, I was seated quickly at the bar. I was given a menu, given a glass of water and offered coffee immediately (which I eagerly accepted)! The drip coffee includes free refills and the beans are from JJ Bean- super tasty and well-brewed. The menu was quite extensive and breakfast is served all day. They had hashes, eggs benedict, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, yogurt and oatmeal- anything you can wish for. I ordered the Little Veggie Bowl, which was a hash with hashbrowns, a crumbled biscuit (the star of the bowl), mushroom gravy and a ton of vegetables and cheese topped with two eggs that I got soft poached. Ermahgerd- it was amazing! The biscuit is fluffy, dense and nicely flavored. The gravy is salty and complements the hashbrowns and biscuit perfectly. There is a generous portion of cheese. One of my eggs were hard poached and the other was soft poached but they both tasted good and it didn't bother me too much. The bowl is massive for a "little" bowl. I couldn't even eat half of it by myself after a long morning run! I packed it to go to eat in a few hours while I sightsee. I left around 10 AM and there is still a line of about 20 people outside. I know they won't seat you if your entire party is not there, so I suggest coming to an agreement with your friends that whoever arrives late is left behind! Service is fantastic and everyone is so friendly even though they are busy! They give you a dum dum lollipop with your check. I highly recommend coming here. At the very least, get the biscuit, but I implore you to try the veggie bowl. read more

The chicken waffles are so good here! Chicken is crispy, and well seasoned. Bacon is the best! I don't normally eat bacon, but they make the best with proper amount of sweetness and texture. Pork belly benny is what couple of my friends' usual order. read more

I've never been one to stand in brunch line ups, but my friend was in town and insisted we go to Jam and omg, I'm drooling just thinking about it. Milkshakes and fried chicken and waffles - perfect coffees, colorful benny's. I loved it here so much. Yummmmm. read more

Delicious! Really big portions so i would suggest sharing. Had to wait 45 minutes but I would say it's worth it. I would recommend the bowl! That was my favorite out of all the items we ordered. read more

The location of Jam Cafe is very convenient, a short walk from the skytrain station. However, I came on a rainy day with my friends and we lined up for about 30 minutes outside before we got seated. If the weather was any nicer, I'm sure it would have been a lot longer! We were seated near the entrance, so it was a bit chilly whenever the door opened. However, they provided us with blankets to keep us warm which is very thoughtful! I've heard so many great things about Jam Cafe, particularly their pancakes. Their Red Velvet pancakes have always intrigued me, but I always debated whether it was worth lining up or not. Once I looked through their menu, I had difficulty deciding what I wanted. I ultimately decided on the Red Velvet pancakes and it did not disappoint! The pancakes were huge, and delicious. I now see the hype for Jam Cafe, and I wouldn't mind waiting in the rain again for it. read more

This restaurant is well worth the wait. I would've given this place 5 starts if there was an electronic line management software being used to assist staff in notifying customers of wait time. Food: Menu variety, presentation and quality of food is amazing! I would definitely wait in line again when I come back to Vancouver. A must visit. read more
