    Lemon Blueberry Pancakes
    Sierra S.

    Finally visited this popular breakfast-and-lunch spot. I've driven by a few times and noticed the parking lot was always packed, with a number of people waiting outside for a table. Tip: add yourself to the waitlist and hopefully, the wait won't be too long. The wait for our party of two was about 30 minutes. I walked in and was greeted by displays of cakes, muffins, and pies--oh my. Great start. This restaurant is quite large and seems to have an extension for more seating "around the corner." Almost every table was occupied, with a good mix of people, and the service was excellent. We didn't need to chase down the waitress for refills and plates were cleared quickly. The restaurant is very loud, partly because it was jam-packed (no pun intended), with many large tables (6-10 people), and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The menu is quite extensive, and M loved the lemon-blueberry pancakes with extra lemon curd. Naturally, I had to try a slice of the carrot cake... for research purposes, of course. It was divine: moist, and the cream cheese frosting struck the right balance of frosting and cake.

    Quick take: Busy breakfast spot with lots of menu choices, friendly service, and a quieter back room if you want to escape the noise. Returned to this lively neighborhood restaurant and found it just as packed as before. The menu still offers plenty of breakfast favorites with lots of mix-and-match combinations. One thing I didn't realize before is that there's a separate dining room away from the main area that's noticeably quieter--worth requesting if the front space feels a bit loud. Our server, Mariah, was friendly and knowledgeable, and she easily handled separate checks. She even showed us comparison photos to explain the difference between an appetizer and the full lunch portion of a similar dish, which was helpful. The meals were nicely presented and well portioned, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. My only suggestion would be for the Huevos Rancheros--the tortilla chips were layered underneath and became a bit soggy. Serving them on the side, or using thicker chips, might help keep that crispy texture. The flavors themselves were still very good. We finished with the banana pudding, which was delicious. Overall, a good choice if you want a flavorful breakfast with lots of options. Just expect a lively crowd and higher noise level during busy morning hours.

    Recently visited for a 50th bday brunch. Energy was good. Service was great and food came out fast. Our server did an awesome job with our table of 20. Now onto the food. While here I had the following: Brussels sprouts: tasty. Had a good flavor. Nice portion size. I would've loved if the sprouts were a little more crisp. Pig candy: delish! Crispy and crunchy. The aioli sauce and arugula was a nice touch. Also a nice portion. Lamb chop lollipops- I was original told there were 7 pops but, it ended up being 5. The chops were a bit unevenly cooked. I asked for medium and half of them came out well. The mash potatoes were tasty with the Cabernet gravy. Old bay bloody-very boozy and tasty. It complimented my meal well. In all I'd visit again. There were no complaints about the food in our whole party. SYOY!

    Churro Waffle

    This place is open, spacious and popping with people! I met a friend at 11:30 on a Friday for brunch and it was packed! Something that I noticed right away was how diverse the crowd was it's a gathering place for business meetings, mamas, families and friends to enjoy a meal together. I notice things like this and it's important to me. We were seated right away and this is literally my only small complaint, we were seated in me of the back rooms which was fine, but it felt very cozy and not in the best way as all of the tables were so close together there wasn't a lot of room to maneuver and it was very chilly. However that being said the room was full of natural light and the background noise of cheerful chatter made it a great experience. Our server was Zach A. and he was lovely, he made great recommendations, was attentive and it was evident that he's really great at his job! One other thing to note is the managers on duty were also great checking in, running food when needed, greeting people at the door. I love when the managers are visible and customer facing, it says a lot about the culture of the establishment. The food delicious, I couldn't decide between all the things so I ended up with our servers favorite waffle, the Churro waffle and it was decadent... and a side of turkey sausage. I would give the waffle alone a 100 star rating but the savory side made it the perfect combo. My friend had a latte, and the salmon omelet that came stuffed full of deliciousness and wrapped in salmon with a lemon blueberry pancake on the side. We were both pleased and left feeling more than satisfied. This was her third time and my first and I promise it won't be the last! Thanks JAM for a top notch experience!

    My daughter and I had to fast before our doctors appointments and we're pretty hungry and desperately needed breakfast. JAM did the trick. This used to be a chain restaurant under a different name, I believe they are now locally owned. The hostess was very warm and friendly, and we were sat quickly even though they had a a nice crowd. I got the Snicker Doodle Latte from the seasonal menu, the Bayou Benedict and a Red Velvet Pancake. My daughter got a Caramel Macchiato & Huevos Rancheros . Our drinks took a second to come to the table, and based on how they looked we thought we had each others order... the Caramel was topped with cinnamon and the Snicker Doodle was topped with Caramel. The food came out pretty fast, and everything was really delicious. The portions are huge so I was only able to eat half of my meal. Our server was really nice as well

    The best brunch place anywhere in Maryland ! I'm not even exaggerating. Food is on point! Server was fast. Huge place so didn't have to wait for food but there is a wait to be seated. You just put your name on the waiting list and voila! I brought many friends to this restaurant and keep going back because it is just that good! I loved the mimosa flight and got to taste 4 different flavors. Prices are super affordable. Loved the inside too. Huge place and just full of life. Definitely bring your appetite

    Chicken & Waffles
    Rediet K.

    Service wasn't great, dining area wasn't clean, and food was mediocre at best. We went on a Sunday afternoon as the brunch rush was dying down. We asked for a table and we were told 25 min wait which wasn't bad but as we sat there waiting we could see tables were opening up, people who came after us were getting sat well before the 25 minute waiting time and when we finally went to check (we sat close to the host stand), they had forgotten our place and we had not gotten any communication- not a text or notice in person or otherwise. So once we finally got sat, our server was just fine but the dining area wasn't clean. I'm sure it was a result of a hectic brunch rush. For food we got the chicken and waffles and the havarti chicken sandwich. The sandwich did not look appetizing and the taste was disappointing and not memorable as well. The chicken and waffle wasn't that great either. Their drinks were good, however.

    Hands down one of the best spots for breakfast/brunch. Inside is super clean and bright! Everything we ordered was so good, and the service was quick, our waiter was super attentive the whole time. The only thing I didn't love was the lemon berry pancakes, they had a slight metallic aftertaste. Still, I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

    Lobster Benedict
    Bhavika P.

    While visiting Maryland, we stopped by this restaurant for brunch and had a wonderful experience. The menu is extensive with a lot of variety, making it a great spot for both small and large groups. Even though it was super busy, we were able to add our name to the waitlist and were seated within 30 minutes, which was very reasonable. We ordered: * Kids' menu chicken tenders and fries with fresh orange juice * Kids' menu pancake with fresh apple juice * Lobster Eggs Benedict * Black bean burger * Vegetarian crêpes Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. The food is very well priced for the quality and quantity they serve. What stood out the most was the service. Despite how busy the restaurant was, our server, Kamal, was extremely attentive and friendly. The manager also stopped by to check on guests at multiple tables, which was a nice touch. The staff overall was very welcoming and professional. The ambiance is great as well--especially for families. The open kitchen was a fun experience for kids to watch and added to the overall vibe. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again!

    JAM Eatery is a great spot, but be prepared--it stays busy, so expect a bit of a wait. The breakfast food is decent and gets the job done, but the real star (and honestly the main reason I keep coming back) is the coconut cake. Oh my God--it is that good. If you love coconut cake, you absolutely have to try it... if they still have it available. They also offer several desserts, all fresh, and they will definitely test your willpower. If you're trying to stay on track with your diet, just know you've been warned. And yes--no photo, because every single time I order the cake, I end up eating it before I even think about taking one. That should tell you everything you need to know. Overall, a solid breakfast spot, but the desserts are what truly make it stand out at least for me!

    We were looking for a good brunch spot to help celebrate her in memory as it was the one year anniversary of our mother's passing. My sister ended up choosing this spot for all of us to enjoy brunch. This was my wife and I's first time here and we were joined by several of my family members from my siblings, aunt and uncle's as well as others. The first thing we noticed was how busy it is during this time, but it did not stop our server Felipe from delivering amazing customer service! We started off with our drinks. My sister got a prickly pear margarita and her boyfriend got the tequila sunrise. My wife got an apple juice and I got a Caribbean blast smoothie. We also had other people who got several different other types of drinks as they have a vast variety of all different types. I started off my order with strawberry cream shortcake pancakes and my wife got a griddle combo. My best friend ended up getting lamb lollipops and crepe flambe. My other family got the coconut cream French toast, an omelette, and my uncle got some wings. We ended our night with two different types of cake I got the lemon cream cake and my wife got the strawberry cream cake, both were fresh and delicious. We got so many different types of dishes as we had a very large party but they were very accommodating and even worked with my uncle when he did not like his wings until he was satisfied. Others got biscuits and gravy, banana pudding pancakes, caramel apple pancakes, Iamb lollipops and chicken and waffles. They really go above and beyond here and their menu options are endless! We really appreciate it how we were taken care of here and we made sure to tip well directly to Felipe so that he knew that. They had a bunch of different desserts that we can't wait to come back and try as well as wide variety of other menu options that we can't wait to explore! Thank you to Felipe and the staff who helped make our visit one to remember in the best ways possible. The Ambiance here is very busy especially during brunch but they don't let that take away from the experience. Just make sure to steer clear of the servers as they are moving and grooving delivering orders to the patrons. 5/5 SupaFlyITGuy approved!

    Classic breakfast
    Meagan W.

    I almost licked my plate! I can honestly say I haven't had breakfast food this good in a very, very long time! The eggs were perfectly medium well, the potatoes were crispy (like I asked for), and the sausage was good quality. The sweet tea was also delicious! I'm getting hungry just thinking about the food again. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The manager refilled my drink multiple times, brought me whipped butter for my waffle, extra napkins, etc. The waitress was also great! The restaurant was cute too! Bustling, bright and clean

    Fried Pickles

    Fooooood was soooooo good!!! Ambience was cute and service was great! Only the avocado toast without egg was a little underwhelming.. but the rest was great! I enjoyed the chicken crepe.. and my son's pancakes. And the fried pickle

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    No. I don't think they allow pets unless it's a service animal

    How can I get on the wait list?

    You can go to their website and click on to Waitlist. Or if you prefer to go in person, just see the guest reception desk and put your name and mobile phone number. FYI - on the weekends, parking maybe tough to find.

    Eggspectation - Merriweather District…read more My first visit to Eggspectation and it made a strong first impression. Located in the ever-growing Merriweather District, parking can be a bit of a mixed bag. There's a nearby surface lot that fills up quickly, but a larger parking garage within easy walking distance that makes things manageable--and a bonus for EV drivers, with multiple charging stations that are available. Just plan ahead, especially on weekends or when events are happening at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The space itself is modern and thoughtfully designed. One side of the dining room features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and offers peaceful views of Symphony Woods--a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal or a little people-watching. There's also a covered outdoor patio that looks especially appealing for warmer days. Service during our lunch visit was excellent. Ethan struck that ideal balance--friendly, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. He handled menu questions with ease and was happy to make a few substitutions without hesitation. A seasonal spring menu is currently available, but the full menu being offered all day is a nice plus. We started with the Ginger Zinger--refreshing with just the right amount of zing. I went with the veggie omelette, customized to my liking, and it delivered: perfectly cooked and packed with fresh mushrooms, spinach, and asparagus. The Lyonnaise potatoes were flavorful, and the lightly dressed salad rounded out the plate nicely. My friends both ordered the Eggspectation breakfast sandwich, stacked high with thick-cut bacon and presented beautifully. Portions across the board were generous--we expected leftovers, but between the good food and even better conversation, most plates were nearly cleared. Prices lean toward the moderately expensive side, but that's fairly standard for this area--and the quality justifies it. If you're looking for a quieter experience, weekdays are your best bet. It's also a great spot to unwind after a walk around the nearby lakes or wooded paths. While there is ongoing construction in the area, the restaurant itself is well insulated from the noise. Overall, a very solid first visit. I'd gladly return to explore more of the menu.

Very fun big bar as well. We got everything she recommended and it was so good!

    I love la Madeline. It might be one of Columbia's most underrated restaurant. This French bistro…read moretransports you to France with the ambiance, food, and service. The workers are all fun to interact with and will speak French to your kids. The bathrooms even enroll you in French class with a basic vocabulary track playing. I learned to count to 5 just by going to wash my hands. The food is true to a French bistro, the drinks are better than Panera or Starbucks, and the pastries.... Don't even get me started on the pastries. They are swoon worthy. Better than any bakery in the area. The croissants are perfectly buttery. I didn't get it this time, but the ham and cheese danish is by far my favorite thing they have. La Madeline is a must try.

    I love this French inspired casual chain because it's very nostalgic to me after living in Dallas…read more I was in Columbia and saw it so I decided to get a quick lunch -- that said this place was hopping. There were so many people so it took a little longer to get my lunch. I was really disappointed in their very famous tomato soup. Honestly, I saw them open a plastic container of the soup and put it into a heater so nothing is made there and it makes sense. Honestly, they are mainly just opening packages and warming them up, but I will say my chicken salad Sandwich was so good. It's like an elevated cafeteria/vending machine sandwich, but it really really hit the spot. They used to offer slices of bread when dining inside. I remember this from years ago, but they don't do that anymore. The prices here are a little bit more than I remember but again it's a year 2025 but it's a solid little spot for a fast casual lunch.

    Popular restaurant and café, good food, many coffee and tea varieties, including dry packaged…read more Café Jun is a restaurant and café in the Forest Green shopping center on US 40. It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

    I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.
