After a redeye flight, I was STARVING. Handy dandy yelp came through. I came across this place and decided to try it out. It was a Tuesday morning so it was not that busy at all. I sat outside. Idk why I chose outside cause I hate humidity, go figure im in FLORIDA, but either way it was tolerable outside and requested the fan to be turned on. I ordered the breakfast tacos and a creme brûlée coffee. Breakfast tacos are fire. It comes 2 but it fills you. It is messy af cause i kept spilling yolk, guac and the insides everywhere. but nevertheless the flavor was def there to enjoy. Tortilla has a nice bite to it as well. Creme brûlée coffee hit. There's an epidemic of terrible acidic coffee places but this one hit the spot. Tastes like coffee but has the subtle sweetness from the creme brulee. and of course cant forget the sugar top to crack. Service was nice, felt a little 2 faced, but overall she was a nice waitress. Lagged a little. Street parking or in a parking garage. There's a single use restroom that was disgusting when a family member tried to use it. Indoor/Outdoor seating. Typically a long wait on the weekends about an hr or so. read more

Food was amazing, as always. My only note is that they could go a little lighter on the Nutella, since it made the dish a bit soggy this time. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed like our server just had more tables than she could handle. Still, the ambiance is always warm and welcoming, and it's a great spot to sit outside or bring your laptop if you want to work. read more

I visited Java and Jam while visiting a family member in Fort Lauderdale. I loved the ambience of the place and the outdoor seating area. The menu was great. I ordered a salmon and eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. Both were delicious and very satisfying! I ordered a seasonal drink, the caramel miso latte. It was fantastic as well. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area! read more

First stop when I touched down in Florida is Java & Jam! My first time here and this was really great brunch with beautiful outdoor seating with a ton of greenery. The pancakes were stacked high and thick and tasted amazing! It is filling but I enjoyed it.

Stopped by Java & Jam after brunching at YOLO for some quick coffee. The interior is nice, cozy, and inviting. It makes you want to sit down, enjoy coffee, and hang around for a while. If you have work that needs to be on your MacBook or just a fan of reading books, it is a nice environment and atmosphere to get things done. My fiancee and I enjoyed their coffee here with few varieties in flavors but nicely made. I am not a huge fan of their food, so I didn't get any this time, but will give it another chance to try different items on the menu because of how much I like everything else about Java and Jam. My fiancee on the other hand, she loves their food and coffee. Parking situation here isn't the most ideal. Be prepared to park in the parking garage even though the price isn't bad. $10 or $12 for the first hour? And $2 more for every hour added. Might as well valet park like our friend did, she only paid $7 and tip. Your choice. I would recommend this place to others and will definitely return again in the future! Thank you Java and Jam for another great coffee experience! read more

The service and vibes were definitely better than the food. The avocado toast was just ok. The eggs were kind of cold when it arrived to the table. I wasn't a huge fan of the addition of salsa underneath the avocado. The banana split yogurt was pretty good and would recommend this. read more

Loved this place! Came here to visit family and they recommended coming here. It was indeed a great bunch spot! I got a matcha latte, which was nice and refreshing. I also got the herb biscuit eggs Benedict; that was delicious! The hollandaise sauce was so flavorful and the herb biscuit really complemented the egg. They had nice outdoor seating as well. read more

Took the drive to Java and Jam as it's been a while and wanted to have a bite in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was cold outside so outdoor seating was a nice treat especially in south florida. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and it was delicious! The side of hash browns and the flavor of the biscuit made this the breakfast meal I was hoping to have! Just what you hope to have for brunch. So here is the bad part, my server was not very friendly. I felt like my presence was a bother and like she did not want to be at work that day. We were not difficult guests, we ordered fast, we enjoyed our food and left and are easy to serve but for this reason I had to give this place a big knock. Servers make or break a business and while I loved the food, the treatment is enough to not come back. I really wanted to like this experience but there's nothing that makes you feel worse as a customer then being treated like your business and choice to dine there is a bother to a staff member. read more

Java & Jam is a great spot to relax, grab a quality coffee, and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere. The drinks are consistently well-made, the staff is friendly, and the vibe makes it easy to stay awhile whether you're catching up with friends or getting work done. The chicken biscuit can be seasoned more and lighter on the biscuit because it was too crispy. The omelette could been made different it was more like an egg burrito stuffed with ham spinach cheese and onions. Not really sure if I'll be trying this again. The waiter wasn't tentative and the restaurant wasn't packed. But we enjoyed cozy cafés outside sitting to catch up with friends for brunch. There's a 18% gratuity added to each party bill. read more

I had been looking online at this restaurant for a while. The family was off from work and school today, so we figured to pop in for breakfast. The steak and eggs were great, cooked very well. The cheese grits were amazing. The omelette was good, my only suggestion would be to use real eggs instead of egg beaters. The French toast was super filling so we had to take half home. The OJ is freshly squeezed and amazing. The coffee was great also. We are glad that we were able to try this place today. read more

Let me start by saying this: TikTok did NOT lie. We were told to go to Java Jam, and for once, the algorithm actually cared about our happiness. I pulled up with my family of six, and from the jump this place understood the assignment. The plates are MASSIVE--like "did we accidentally order for the table next to us too?" massive. The quality of the food is outrageous. Dear Lord... every single bite was hitting. I think I sampled everyone else's plate except my own-- just kidding, I destroyed mine too. Now let's talk vibes. The location? Elite. The aesthetic? Chef's kiss. Sitting outside on Las Olas Blvd, downtown Fort Lauderdale as your backdrop, people strolling by, sunshine doing its thing--this is main-character energy breakfast/brunch. Beautiful, relaxed, and somehow still buzzing. And then... GREG. Ladies and gentlemen, Greg is not a server--he's a walking Google Maps, Yelp review, and coffee encyclopedia combined. This man gave us a full rundown of the area, what to order, what NOT to order, how flavors work together, and even had us sampling coffee combinations like we were on a Food Network tasting panel. "Try this with that." "No, trust me, you'll like this." He was right. Every. Single. Time. The man is a genius. Bottom line: Incredible food Huge portions Amazing coffee Prime Las Olas location Service that feels like family TikTok approval confirmed If you're anywhere near Fort Lauderdale and don't stop at Java Jam, that's on you. Highly, loudly, enthusiastically recommended. 10/10 will absolutely be back (probably too often). read more

What a quaint, upscale breakfast cafe! There were so many delicious breakfast options. I chose the overnight oats, a side of bacon, and an iced coffee. The oats were very filling, and I was grateful the waiter informed me they were served cold. The outdoor patio was very pleasant, with hanging plants and cute seating. This was the last breakfast on our Ft Lauderdale vacation and I'm happy we chose Java & Jam! read more

This spot reminds me of First Watch but a little more hip to the times. We came on a Sunday and it was definitely busy, so I recommend joining the waitlist if you're short on time or simply hungry and don't want to wait 40 minutes to an hour. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes , they were delicious and cooked perfectly. For my drink, I had the hot churro latte with oat milk. They use Wells Coffee. I'm not a huge fan of Wells personally. It has a more bitter profile and doesn't give the rich, smooth flavor I prefer, but it was still okay overall. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Great vibes, good food, and I'll definitely be back. read more

I was in the area so I decided to stop by. On this particular day, a lot of people were standing in line to be seated. It seemed like the hostess was missing for a good while I opted to place the order to go. I ordered an egg scramble, it came with eggs, potatoes, pico de gallo I added cheese and avocado. It was delicious everything paired well it's definitely something that I would eat again. I just didn't like the biscuit. I should've just stuck with the toast. I also ordered a butter beer latte which I also did not like. It had no flavor and that goes for the taste of coffee as well. All in all I will return whenever I'm nearby again. read more

After a killer workout, my friends and I were starving and looking for a spot to grab lunch and cowork. We decided on Java and Jam because it was close by and had a varied menu that would satisfy anyone's craving regardless of it it was breakfast or lunch. My friend and I couldn't decide what to get so we got the turkey club and chicken bowl and went halfsies. I loooved the club sando and the chicken bowl was good too. We also asked for a side of aioli for the fries which I totally recommend. Service was friendly and the portions are huge. You can find street parking or garage parking nearby. We sat on the outdoor patito but they also offer indoor seating and grab and go cafe options too. read more

Such a cute atmosphere! Make sure you get a reservation or come ahead of time because this adorable space is consistently busy. Service was timely and friendly. I enjoyed the meal, but didn't find it had a wow factor (I'm probably being harsh). Looks beautiful, tastes great, but not exceptional out of this world. Good balance of ingredients. Would definitely try some other menu items if I'm back in the area. read more

Java & Jam - Cheddar Herb Biscuit Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This place has been on my "to try" list for quite some time. Finally had a moment to get breakfast here this morning. Absolutely loved my eggs Benedict. The iced coffee was great as well. My husband's chicken biscuit sandwich was "good". Biscuit was not his favorite in the area and the chicken was on the dry side. Overall, he said it was a good sandwich but would pick something else next time. We both really liked the hashbrowns. Definitely would come back here again. Service was excellent as well. read more

Pro tip: they validate parking in the deck behind YOLO AND you can grab a spot on the reservation queue by submitting your name on their website. They don't take reservations over the phone. Sunday after church brunch? Say less! Decided to grab a bite after church with a friend. This place was close by. Haven't been back in about two years so I was overdue. Unfortunately it rained all Sunday. I thought that would deter others but I was wrong. The reservation line was long! After waiting about 25 mins, we were seated in their covered patio. The rain was hard and you could definitely hear it! The wait staff was very attentive which was great. I had the egg scramble with a side of grits. The grits were $5 and the bowl was the size of my palm. Don't think I'll order that again. The bread and the jam was amazing! I didn't get a coffee this time but there was no shortage of drinks coming to tables while we were there. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Ft. Lauderdale! Beautiful, large, outdoor patio offers the best in dining al fresco. My go to is the cheddar herb biscuit Benedict, as you can't get it anywhere else. Their hash browns are unique and tasty. Seasonal menus are awesome, as are the cocktail options! Servers are attentive and friendly. My only complaint is that they don't take reservations and are so popular that there's often a wait...but it's well worth it! read more

Cute little place in the heart of downtown. Went for a quick bite before we caught a flight home. We got in around 7:30 on a Sunday and had the place to ourselves. The coffee and food were amazing, and the hash browns are prepared in a way I've never seen before. They were incredible. Waitstaff were really nice too. Highly recommend if you're in the area, but I'd go early because by 8:30 the place was hopping. read more

Visited Java and Jam after getting off a cruise and having the worst meals for 3 days. I would definitely recommend Java and Jam! I had the American Omelet, and it was pretty good. My only complaint is the toppings were placed inside the egg versus being mixed and cooked into the egg. The coffee is GREAT! I had like 4 cups. Our server was nice and attentive and we got our food fast but also still fresh. They have inside and outside seating options and the decor is super modern chic. I am glad we found this spot while we were in the area! read more

Continue to love this place. Their food is always solid. They are pup friendly and it's so nice to eat outside. Service is always great.

Nice breakfast/brunch spot that looks like a combination diner, sit down restaurant and coffee bar. Food is high quality for breakfast. (Good Benedict's) Service is very quick. The only downside is the wait, but this is solvable by not going during their rush hour. If you get there when they first open (7ish) you will get seated immediately. read more

Popped in here for a nice breakfast to start a day after a fantastic night out. The service was friendly and the atmosphere inviting on this beautiful hot Florida morning. The dishes ranged from healthy to decadent with each assembled in an inviting fashion. There is avocado and egg dishes for the health enthusiast and meats with eggs for the breakfast anytime genre. There are a few vegan choices as well as there should be. I was happy to get a table inside and enjoy a nice breakfast conversation with my wife. read more

With a quick Yelp search, found J&J, reviews were impressive but still was not sure, as most of the reviews were for food and there specialty coffees, really wanted a good cappuccino after a week long on cruise, and glad I went to J&J, as they made cappuccino perfect for me. It's usually 12 & 20oz, I asked to cut down on milk for the 12oz one, place was crazy crowded and barista had too many orders, so wasn't sure if would do the way I asked, but they did, had to wait 20ish mins to place order and 15mins to get cappuccino but it was worth it. read more
