We stopped by recently and were really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving after waiting about 10 minutes at the hostess stand without being greeted or acknowledged. It was a nice crowd and the atmosphere seemed lively, but it didn't appear so busy that someone couldn't at least come over and say, "Hi, we'll be with you in just a moment." Even a quick acknowledgment would have made a big difference. We completely understand that restaurants can get hectic, and we're always happy to be patient, but not being acknowledged at all made us feel a bit overlooked. It was disappointing because the place seemed lovely otherwise. We may give it another try in the future and hope for a warmer welcome next time. read more

Excellent newish brunch spot on a rapidly built up stretch of Las Olas near Andrews. Service was great and food was good 5 star ambience: for the first floor of a modern building they have given some old world charm with decoration and lighting. It's bustling but not loud 5 star service: staffers here are uniformly friendly and efficient. The front desk directed us to the counter to avoid a long wait and the server was sweet and funny 4 star food: my spinach salad was terrific. The grilled chicken across the top was just in large very dry chunks. Price points are high for the entrees. read more

The only good part of this experience was the service. I did not enjoy one single other element. My cappuccino came lukewarm, if not, on the colder side. It was disappointing but it took so incredibly long to come I didn't want to send it back and wait for another. Then I got the eggs Benedict and the egg was overcooked and the hollandaise was COLD and also very lemon forward. It was disgusting honestly, I didn't feel well after eating it. My mom's food was fine. I ended up paying our $50 bill (hefty for not enjoying anything) and going to the Starbucks across the street for coffee. Lesson learned. read more

Great energy, food and variety with a super friendly and helpful staff here at Java & Jam. A huge outdoor eating area; great for people watching off Las Olas Blvd. Right when you walk in there is a coffee/tea and cocktail bar. Speaking of cocktails, there is and interesting cocktail menu with many interesting choices. I ordered the delicious Shrimp and Grits special served with 2 poached eggs. Very generous portion and the shrimp was crispy and served over southern style seasoned grits that has tremendous flavors. My wife had the Salmon Toast served over arugula salad. The bread that was toasted had 2 poached eggs on top. Had to share the Bamana Bread French toast. Huge portion even when we split it, it was thick and had to take half home. Delicious!!! I would have to say this is one of the best breakfast places I've eaten at in Ft. Lauderdale. Our wait was 20 minutes as promised but they have comfortable couches at the entrance you can sit on and wait if you'd like. They will text you when your table is ready. The menu has a huge variety of special dishes you don't see anywhere else and to top it off, there are specials to boot. We can't wait to go back and try new choices. read more

Ordered coffees for the office on 5/20 around 11am, and unfortunately had a really poor experience with the employee working the coffee station. I ordered a dry cappuccino, and he responded with "What does that even mean?" after I explained it meant light milk. The entire interaction made me feel like I was inconveniencing him just by ordering coffee from a coffee shop. When the drink came out, it was literally just a cup of warm milk with no espresso in it. I walked back down to let him know, and the response was simply, "Oh did I?" -- no apology, no effort to remake it properly, no refund, and honestly no customer service at all. Really disappointing because I actually love the restaurant and brand overall, but the coffee experience was completely unacceptable. God forbid you order coffee from a coffee shop. Unacceptable. read more

Was looking for a nice breakfast spot and found this lovely gem. Cindy, our server, made us feel right at home with her warm and friendly demeanor. She was attentive without being overbearing, and really added to the overall positive vibe of the place. The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was flavorful and fresh. The coffee was a standout too - rich, aromatic, and the perfect start to our morning. Overall, it was a great dining experience. Great service, excellent food, and fantastic coffee make this breakfast spot a place I'd definitely return to! Highly recommend. read more

The food was good but there are limited options and it's a little pricey for what you get. I think you are paying so much because it is on las olas, but the food wasn't any better than like first watch. Drinks were named cute and tasted but again, overpriced. Service was great and the place is kinda like dress for brunch type vibes. I don't know if I would go back because it just wanted anything spectacular. read more

Been back to Java & Jam many times during my visits to Ft.L. I'll chose this place all day long over the Starbucks across the street. I love their coffee and how the offer sugarfee options and flavors. They even have almond milk as my low carb option. Definitely the place to go to for breakfast/ brunch in the Los Olas area. read more

We had a great visit to start, but our waitress got busy and then we didn't see her for a long while. Other patrons waited forever to order and receive a drink around this time too. I paid the peri peri homemade sauce, only to be given a combo of used bottles. I had to specifically request for a new (unused) bottle! The pistachio latte was great and my family enjoyed their food too! read more

Great spot for lunch or brunch on las Olas! Sat outside where the outdoor fans kept the patio perfectly cool and comfortable. The food was good! The bacon egg and cheese sandwiches were good along with the shrimp bowl. They also had a seasonal coffee meaning with a good set of options for all. Our favorites were the Nutella French toast and the cheesy grits! read more

Stopped by for some brunch on a Saturday, which they were a bit quite busy. The inside was a nice interior loved the design. We were greeted by two hostess which was cool, one of them took us to our seat and then followed 10-20 mins later our server. We started off with some water then we order some drinks off the seasonal menu, my partner got an ice coffee and I got the winter in Florida refresher. Both drinks were great, I love the winter in Florida one though it was refreshing and you can taste all the ingredients but I would love to know what soda they used for it to! The food came which my server was able to accommodate me since I didn't want fries but in the end I told him to leave it and try it out but when the food came I didn't see the fries but well it was fine, everything was great but the steak wasn't flavorful i thought it would be :(. The salad that came with it was decent as well the Cole slaw I order as a side wasn't favorite either idk it was something about the taste of it just didn't sit right with me The coconut chia pudding wasn't really my fan favorite either the fresh fruit on top made the pudding a bit tolerable. But I love my partner French toast though it was delicious! Overall it was a good brunch spot but I'll probably order something else than the steak and avoid the Cole slaw as well. read more

My new favorite breakfast spot! If you're close to downtown Fort Lauderdale and need a breakfast spot, look no further! Java and Jam is superb. The food, coffee and the staff are 5 stars. The chicken biscuit sandwich is a huge portion and packed with flavor! The pepper marmalade mixed with the sausage gravy takes it to another level! If you're looking for a healthy option, get the chicken rice bowl. It's super light but filling. The restaurant is mid modern and has an amazing vibe. Will definitely be coming back soon to try out other dishes! read more

We used the waitlist feature, which was great. We waited about 40 mins total. It was a crowded Sunday. We sat outside, which is lovely with lots of vines and greenery. The service was okay- the hostess barely looked up from her phone to acknowledge us- and we watched this happen repeatedly. Our server was friendly, just not very attentive but it was busy. The food was okay, we had shakshuka, a burger and chicken bowl. The shakshuka had a nice flavor. The chicken bowl and the burger were okay, not very flavorful. read more

Great spot for a quick brunch. Ambience is fabulous and the food is good. Been there a few times and it never disappoints. read more

Java & Jam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Cute location and easy to get to. We usually park at the parking garage across the street and walk over. The wait here can be long but I will say it is worth it. The menu has a nice variety, the coffee drinks are also great. I appreciate the option to spike them and they offer a seasonal drink menu of non alcoholic drinks as well. I am not a coconut loving girl but the banana bread french toast with coconut butter absolutely sings to my soul. Love to get a sweet and a savory while I'm here, you can't go wrong with any of the Benedict's. The corn beef is homemade and it shows, 10/10 would recommend. If in the area definitely add Java & Jam to your list. read more

Time and Date: 11:49 am on October 20, 2024 Food: Classic 1- Eggs, Bacon, Grits, and multigrain toast Drinks: Water and Salted Caramel Cappuccino Environment/Ambiance: Amazing indoors and outdoor seating. Pretty big and busy Staff: Friendly and welcoming The food was so good. I really love the grits and eggs. They reminded me of South Carolina Eggs and Grits. I'm a southern woman and love me some breakfast and brunch. The place is beautiful and it was my first time going while visiting Fort Lauderdale. The Salted Caramel Cappuccino was pretty good. Mine was the iced cappuccino. Do recommend if you are a coffee lover. The price was reasonable as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

Java & Jam - Water - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We had breakfast here on the patio. There are tons of fans which create a nice breeze. Our server was friendly. I had an iced chai which was very tasty. Hubby liked his iced latte. We shared an avocado toast and the egg and bacon sandwich with a side of hash browns. The eggs for the sandwich are cooked pretty thin and folded, so we're a tad dry, but the flavor was good. The eggs on the avo toast were sunny side up and perfectly runny. The avo toast had a sweet pepper marmalade. It was delicious, but I'm glad we shared the 2 dishes because I think it would have been too sweet to eat the entire thing. read more

My second time at Java & Jam! This is a cute, nice brunch spot in Fort Lauderdale. I got the classic, which comes with 2 eggs any way, toast, and a choice of 2 sides (I chose hashbrowns and cheddar grits). We got the shakshouka as well which was flavorful and the toast was perfect crisped. Finally, I got an iced butterbeer latte, which came out first as very milky and our server (Maja) noticed this and got me another cup (we think they forgot to add espresso the first time lol). The food was tasty and the coffee was pretty good, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Overall, a nice option for brunch in the area. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Las Olas! There is often a wait during typical brunch weekend hours, but it's worth it! I loved the veggie omelette & their specialty coffee selection is really good- I got the Churro latte which was really tasty! The outdoor seating is great, especially since it's coveredbut there's more space inside if you don't want to wait as long for a table! read more

Service was great, foos was good, ambiance was very good. Been back twice since I went the first time.

Adorable brunch place on las olas. They do not take reservations but do offer a waitlist that you can sign up for online. The food was pretty good. The burger was solid, flavorful, what you would expect. The overnight oats were a surprising highlight! Probably one of my favorite items on the list! They have a variety of tasty coffee options and their fresh squeeze juice is a must get! The service is extremely friendly but very slow. If you need to be in and out quick just let your server know up front and they will adjust. read more

We ate there this morning. They seem to be precooking the bacon and toast so they can get food out faster. The problem is that the food arrives at your table cold. I brought this to the attention of our server and to his credit he did offer to remake my breakfast. He did speak with the manager as she was right behind our table but she did nothing to address the issue, never came to our table and to my knowledge did not address the issue with the kitchen while we were there. I'll go back but I will make sure that I get a cooked to order breakfast and not some bacon and toast that were cooked hours earlier. read more

So we finally got to check this place out. I love Java and Jam. It's very dog friendly and has a big outside patio where you are embraced by the outdoor las olas area. The atmosphere is super comfortable and welcoming. There are so many food options and from what we got, they are good. There's a reason why this place is rated number 1. We were not disappointed. Also, we had the best server. He was very helpful and nice. He was also very attentive. This is a must try if you are in the area read more

We visited Java & Jam early one Saturday morning with our two dogs. We were seated immediately at an outdoor table, though it seems there's usually a wait, we got lucky! The best surprise was the dog menu--our pups shared the eggs and bacon, which was a generous portion for two smaller dogs. They absolutely loved it! For us, we ordered the herb biscuit egg Benedict and a make-your-own omelette. Both dishes were delicious. We also tried the banana bread, but it was skippable as it wasn't really the best. The friendly service added to the positive experience. Overall, Java & Jam is a great spot, especially if you're dining with dogs! read more

Great breakfast and delicious coffee! Stopped here for a quick and filling last stop before we headed to the airport to end our trip. There was a group of 5 of us and our waiter was quick and attentive for a Sunday morning as business was picking up! I ordered the egg tacos with a side of bacon and a creme brûlée iced coffee. Egg tacos were very delicious and flavorful. Another popular item at our table was the pancake stack. All food was delicious and not a complaint from anyone! Very nice breakfast spot, we sat outside and saw lots of dogs, families and couples enjoying the morning! read more

We went for brunch a couple of weekends ago and the fabulous Anna was our server. One of the specials for that weekend was "spicy prosciutto toast" and it had just run out, but Anna asked the kitchen to prepare 1 last one for our table, which we were very grateful for as it was DELICIOUS!!!! Anna was great, the food was fantastic and the experience just solidified why this is one of the BEST spots for brunch in FLL! 5 STARS!!! read more

We showed up 2:50 pm just before closing on Sunday . They sat us and let us order . My first time here because in the last the line was to long so we were lucky to arrive late . The breakfast was definitely worth it. I will return but perhaps at 1:45 so hopefully the wait will it be long . I am big on breakfast on sundays and this hit the mark read more

Came here by chance on a Sunday and had to wait about 45 minutes. I knew it was going to be good based on the wait time and the line formation outside . I had the mango crush and it tasted so refreshing . It's huge , it could be for two people so keep that in mind. To eat I got the steak and eggs, the steak was tender and juicy and the sauce on top was so delicious. I wish I had tried more stuff but I was so full. The menu looks great, make sure you either make a reservation or come with time to spare, it gets crowded. read more

Java & Jam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Let's start with the positives: Beautiful place! Very lovely restaurant to have brunch. The finches and plants are quite nice. Great coffee-- the creme brûlée wasn't too sweet, wasn't too bitter. The chocolate espresso muffin was tasty and not too heavy! Benedict was pretty good and the has browns are nice and crispy. The service was decent-- there was a momentary miscommunication where the waiter walked away while we were still talking to her, but it was decent service overall. Now the less savory details: The steak and fries is alright but it's nothing to write home about. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad. To be honest, it wasn't very flavorful. For 26 dollars, you can definitely get better steak elsewhere. Come EARLY or be prepared to wait forty minutes. This is pretty typical around here so we had no problem. Service can be a little slow to start because it's busy. I recommend the traditional breakfast items here. It's a place for a first date or a cute brunch with the homies. If your first and only priority is extraordinary food, then maybe consider somewhere else. read more

Cute brunch spot in Fort Lauderdale area. We went around 10:30am on a Sunday morning. When we first got there they said the wait would be 35 min, my party and I walked around and then came back 35 min later and we still did not receive a text saying our table is ready. When we asked the host she said they will try and clean some tables to get us sat. Which was another 10 min wait. This is a really popular place so we understand the long wait . Other than that the food was great! And came out ASAP! I think my highlight was a seasonal lavender latte they had , I also added a honey stick of CBD which is really nice they had that on the menu . Our server was really nice too I wish I didn't forget his name! Plus : Dog friendly read more

I only came here for a quick coffee break with a colleague before an event happening in the area. They have many quirky and unique coffee options to choose from. I went with the Butterbeer iced latte because it reminds me of Harry Potter. I asked only one pump of sweetener so it doesn't come out overly sweet. The latte was good! The inside was decorated like a rustic coffee shop and had ample seating outside as well. read more
