Stopped for brunch since my husband was working nearby. Service was kind but pretty minimal that day. We were seated and given a nice vase of water. They explained that ordering and payment happen online or up front inside, so it felt a bit self-serve after that. Drinks and food took longer than expected to come out. The portions were generous and satisfying. I went with the Loxex omelet (scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, tomatoes, onions), and the grilled potatoes on the side were spot-on. My husband ordered the chilaquiles, which he found a little too salty and soggier than he prefers. His cappuccino however, was very delicious. The menu has tons of appealing options, so it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for creative brunch dishes. read more

Came here with high expectations and ordered the churro French toast, which I've heard a lot about. It was good, but not quite the wow moment I was hoping for. The portion was generous and the cinnamon sugar coating was flavorful, but overall it leaned a bit too sweet and heavy for me. After a few bites, it felt more like dessert than a balanced brunch dish. The French toast itself was soft, though I wished it had a bit more texture or contrast. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was lively and cute--definitely a solid spot for brunch with friends. That said, given the hype and price point, the food didn't fully live up to expectations this time. read more

This is a nice, cozy spot in DTLA with a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered multiple dishes, and everything we tried was good lots of flavor and great variety to choose from. The only downside was the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected. However, the overall experience was still enjoyable, especially because of the wide selection of dishes available. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Blu Jam Cafe. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Vegan Tostada. The tostada was full of flavor and seasoned to perfection. The tofu tostada was very crispy and crunchy which was delicious! The potatoes were also cooked perfectly. My son had the hangover scramble, sourdough toast and Blueberry Jam. He enjoyed his food also. He wanted a container of the Blueberry Jam to take home. We also ordered a Mimosa, Matcha Latte and a regular Latte. They were all delicious. I love the large mugs they put the hot drinks in. The service was good. You have to order from a QR code at your table. The food came out pretty quick. This location is located between Broadway and Spring Street. You can enter on either street. They have outside and inside seating available. I can't wait to visit this location again. read more

Went for brunch before it started getting really busy. Really great place because it's in this indoor alley that has different restaurants and coffee shops. We sat outside and I really enjoyed it because you get this kind of indoor outdoor feel. I got the Tuscany Scramble and wow it was really delicious. If you like pesto, you would love this a lot, I didnt know what to expect because I had nothing like this before, but the description was accurate. I was torn on either the tuscany scramble and the chilaquiles, but i really enjoyed my meal. I would totally go here again to get the chilaquiles or something that catches my eye. read more

Look how presentable the plates are! The food was good, but not great. I'd say the quality was just better than average! The menu is expansive though, and I'd be curious to return and try other plates/drinks. They have sangria, and I definitely want to try it next time. The service however, was so great! All the staff were quick, attentive, and friendly. They didn't rush us out or anything, either. Lastly, I did enjoy the location. There is an outdoor patio that is in a hallway of various businesses; it's covered/shaded, and yet still outside. Overall, it's a decent brunch in the middle of Downtown LA! read more

Blu Jam Cafe - Crunchy French Toast, Iced Matcha, Iced Latte, Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This neat little cafe is tucked in a food hall-ish area that looked like it could've been a train station of sorts back in the day. We came here on a Thursday around 12pm and it wasn't too busy. There's paid parking lots across the street, but it's in DTLA, so the area feels a little urban. We were met with wonderful service from the moment we entered. They have some seating inside and outside, but it's a lot cooler inside their restaurant than the "patio" area. Also, there's no restroom at this place. You have to ask for a ticket and go over to the security guard who will unlock the doors to the publicly shared restroom for you. Anyways, we got the breakfast carbonara and chilaquiles. I liked that they offered us an amuse bouche of a berry crepe. The crepe was really good and probably was the star of our whole meal. The breakfast carb was more of a risotto/mushy fried rice with peas, eggs, and pancetta. It tasted alright, but we couldn't help thinking about similar it was to fried rice. The chilaquiles was alright. The chips were on the thinner side, which caused them to get super soggy really fast with the watery sauce. While the flavors were there, the texture was not. This spot is more of an order at the front and pay at the front kind of place. Overall, great service, decent food. read more

We tried blu jam because of the reviews and proximity to our hotel. We stopped in for breakfast which was great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant does not have servers but a hostess and then bussers/food runners. You can either order from your phone through a QR code or at the front station which I thought was interesting. We ordered a fresh squeezed oj which was delicious and definitely freshly squeezed. The iced latte had a great strong flavor. The only complaint is I drank it too fast. The breakfast sandwich had a perfect crisp to the bread. The egg was cooked spot on to medium so had a slight yolk dripping. The bacon was very crispy and overall it was an incredible breakfast sandwich. The crunchy French toast is breaded with a ground up cornflake. It was very crispy and came topped with fresh berries and two sides of a delicious vanilla sauce. We had a great breakfast and would recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Generous portions of delicious, beautifully prepared food. Stellar service, in a gorgeous, historic location. I have the Vegan Tex Mex Scramble. Super flavorful, more well seasoned than spicy. Served with lightly dressed, fresh spring mix salad and perfectly toasted artisan bread. So delicious. Our table shared their signature French toast, which never disappoints. This is the best BluJam location by far. Breakfast perfection. read more

Extensive menu The food here was good, nothing mind-blowing but enjoyable overall. I liked that they give you the option to self-order through your phone or go the traditional route with a server -- that was convenient. The menu is huge though. Honestly a little overwhelming with so many items to read through, it made it hard to decide what to get. I didn't love sitting inside. There's no A/C and with the open kitchen so close, it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable. If you can, I'd recommend waiting for outdoor seating -- much more comfortable. Overall, the food was good and the ordering options were solid, but I'd stick to sitting outside next time. read more

If you want a delicious, well-rounded breakfast with large portions and quick service, Blu Jam Cafe is the spot to go! Their menu is extensive and everything sounded so good, it was hard to choose. I went with the hangover scramble, which was delicious, but the star of the plate were those potatoes. Cut so small, they are perfectly crispy while being pillowy on the inside. The best part was the $5 sangrias on the weekend, a welcome surprise! read more

I had a hankering for a BLT, and this place came up as a spot that served them. Loved the indoor/outdoor patio thing they have going on. Server was super nice although I was a little confused at the "no server" stickers on the table. I will say I am generally a traditionalist when it comes to a BLT, so I was a little worried about the chipotle aioli, but I tried it. I loved it! The grilled potatoes are also a nice alternative to fries. I'll definitely be back to blu jam. read more

The food tastes fine but like most places, it is pricey. One strange thing is that the service is non-existent. You seat yourself and then order and pay using the QR code in the middle of the table. One thing I couldn't figure out was how to add a coke to my order. The only drinks I saw were alcohol, lattes and fresh squeezed orange juice. I have been to two other Blu Jam locations (Melrose and Sherman Oaks). The food was a bit better but one thing they all have in common is no parking. read more

Maybe 10 min wait You order everything online , no physical menu , & every time you wanna order like a second drink, you Gotta pay for it online. Bathrooms outside, across the walkway & then walk upstairs an interior flight. Super super locked in. Food was yummy, not kind blowing, but yummy. Portions huge! Bang for your buck ! Average prices.

This place is located in an indoor alley in DTLA which is really cool because it's central but hidden from the outside. Modern diner vibes with a ton of seating, classic diner menu options and a pretty good selection of cafe drinks also. Service was great - they explained that you order with a QR code on the table and can add items whenever you want and pay as you order. We got the California omelet and their special which is the crunchy French toast. Wasn't too busy but food did take a while to come out. Not the biggest deal but good to know. The French toast was insanely good! It doesn't come with syrup but a vanilla cream instead and it's perfect. Topped with strawberries and blueberries it's a delicious brunch. The California omelet was also good and had lots of thick cut bacon. Comes with toast and either breakfast potatoes or side salad. Would definitely come back! read more

If you sit inside it's a bit stuffy and warm . They have packed a lot of tables inside so if you're looking for a quiet intimate setting, this isn't it. The tables are very very close together and needless to say it was a Saturday morning so the place was packed. The next time I go I will definitely sit outside . Let me further explain the "outside". Blu Jam was a bit difficult to find . Google maps took us right to it but it doesn't sit directly on the sidewalk There's a building with double doors . Once you open the doors you see that the building houses several businesses and Blu Jam was one if them. So when I say, "outside" there's no real outside . They have set up a very nice "patio area" in the very of the read more

This Blu Jam location in Downtown LA was okay. My friend and I ate here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. In terms of service, don't expect too much since you'll be ordering using your phone and provided qr code. It also feels like your ordering using self checkout at a fastfood or grocery store. Unfortunately, I lack a sense of hospitality from the servers since they never asked my friend and I or anyone on how the customers were doing or if everything was okay. I can't pretend it's okay when it's not. The ambiance seems crammed due to the narrow spaces between tables and lighting could be better. It also took approximately 20-25 minutes for our orders to be served. The brunch burger was alright and nothing too spectacular. While the diced potatoes looked appealing, it ended up becoming mushy, salty and not satisfying. This location has potential since it's in the heart of Downtown LA, but the service and food were not it. Please do better next time. read more

This hidden gem Cafe was amazing. I was greeted and I sat down. Was served with water that had mint and lemon wedges... so refreshing! You could order and pay with your phone or go to the register and do it! I ordered the chilaquiles. It had chicken (like tinga style), black beans, red sauce, onions, tomatoes and cilantro with an egg. With an OJ (shot of ginger as well) It was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try something else. Customer service was friendly. Food was hot and fresh. OJ was freshly squeezed. It started to get busy as soon as I sat down for breakfast! Overall exceeded my expectations! read more

Blu Jam Cafe in downtown Los Angeles offers a delightful brunch experience that's hard to beat. The staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered the shakshuka, and it did not disappoint. It was beautifully presented, well-seasoned, and bursting with flavor. Wished they would add more toast to the order tho 2 was not enough for the dish! I also got to try my friend's dishes as well and all was good the potatoes were a bit heavy for my liking. The food came out surprisingly fast, which is always a plus during brunch hours. The cafe also has a convenient to-go box station, perfect for left over without having to ask the staff. While the prices are decent, parking can be a bit of a challenge in the area. Overall, Blu Jam Cafe is a great brunch spot that I would definitely return to for its tasty food and inviting atmosphere. Note: The cafe features a QR code for easy ordering, enhancing the overall dining experience. read more

Unfortunately, the service is not what you'd expect if your spending $85 on breakfast for 3 people. I don't like the ordering concept. I don't believe they take cash which is what I originally brought to pay. After you order, you're asked to tip without even being waited on first. I left a $5 tip because the food was brought to our table and the server never came back to ask if we needed anything or if we were satisfied with our meals. I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla which had Braised Chicken Tinga, veggies and Egg. It also came with a side of crispy potatoes which was probably my favorite part. The flavor on the Tinga is mild, I personally think it lacked flavor and salt. For being braised, the chicken wasn't as tender as expected. My son ordered the popular Churro French Toast which he quit eating because he said it was too sweet. I tried it and it's more of a pastry for your coffee since it's not served with syrup. I thought it was pretty good. My mother ordered the California Omelette which she liked. The food is okay but, there wasn't anything that stood out to me. If you're okay with tipping before being waited on and paying before you receive your food then I would recommend eating here. read more

Blue Jam Café in downtown LA is hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots to take friends who haven't been, especially to try their signature French toast--it's my favorite and truly lives up to the hype. The food overall is amazing, with generous portions and consistently fresh flavors. I always try to grab a seat on the patio when the weather's nice--it's perfect for people-watching and soaking in the downtown vibe. It's definitely a popular spot, so expect a bit of a wait during peak hours, but it's worth it. And yes, you'll pay typical LA prices, but the quality makes it worth every penny. read more

Very grateful for the security staff available throughout the day observing the entrance. LA downtown homeless problem is huge and having someone available whose full-time job it is to sit and protect customers on the outside patio from roaming zombies is an important part of this restaurant life, continuing to operate and customers having a good experience. He had to chase away three people from bothering me and my party within an hour of us being here . Thank you. Overall, it's a very nice breakfast place with quite a unique patio that I enjoyed, but there are big problems. Food quality and the actual meal quality. The restaurant uses very cheap ingredients, including eggs. For a breakfast restaurant I think having good quality eggs is critical. Their omelette yolks stink, literally. That usually happens with cheapest, poorly fed hens. In addition, every single dish we ordered the chefs have gotten wrong. The staff were very accommodating at fixing the errors but as it is with Blu jam's approach of not having waiters finding someone to fix it was an issue, as always. Not sure whether I'll be back. read more

Interesting setting and even more interesting ordering process. It's like ordering takeout where you order and pay online by scanning the QR code but they bring the food out to you. I wouldn't say we necessarily got served by a server and the one time I asked them a simple question about a dish I wasn't thinking about ordering, they took so long to get the answer back to me, I ended up finding the answer quicker on Google. I ordered the Tuscany scramble and was pretty tasty and filling though for the price so definitely saved the experience. They also let my friend build her own avocado toast which was super helpful! read more

We used to go here a decade ago and on a recent trip back to LA, we decided to come back! This time with our rambunctious 2 year old. I am so impressed with the service at this location. Immediately after sitting down, without asking, they brought my toddler a free bowl of fruit recognizing that she was yelling "I'm hungry!" Lol. They were so helpful in giving suggestions for the menu, and food is fresh with HUGE portions. The staff are prompt, hard working, and just overall so kind.

I've been to 2 other lo Agilent and the food consistently good at each location. It's in downtown LA so parking can be a nightmare. Be prepared to spend an additional $20 minimum on parking. Unless you get super lucky to find a spot on the street. Very rare. There are tons of places to checkout in the area. Customer service at this location is mid. The people aren't rude but since you order through the app, it's little to no interaction with the staff. They forgot to bring out my friends drinks. Everything is don't through their website other than being seated. read more

I ordered from this store through UberEats and we were missing a food item. UberEats has gave me a $2 UberCash credit, which is not sufficient enough to cover the missing item. If I had to order it, it would cost me at least $5.95 plus tax, service & delivery fee, and I also paid for express delivery. There is no way to contact the store directly on this missing item. Then there is the eggwich that was soggy that it fell apart. Poor quality and missing items. read more

Blu Jam Cafe has popped out on my Yelp searches. Finally had the opportunity to try it. The service was great. We were greeted and sat immediately. There are no physical menus, you order and pay from the app. They have patio sitting and a semi indoor sitting area. They bring out a mint and lemon infused water for the table. The ginger shot was a perfect start and the cali-sunset was sparkly and refreshing. The dishes are definitely shareable. I don't know that I could pick a favorite. The chilaquiles were very tasty and the shredded chicken was not dry at all. The burger was delicious, it was very juicy and big. The omelet had peppers, cheese and mushrooms with potato hash. Last but not least the crunchy french toast. Crunchy outside and soft inside. It came with a semi sweet white cream. They were tasty with it and without it. Best Sunday brunch spot, if you're in the area you should definitely stop by. They also have a farmers market a block away. Make a day out of it! read more
