Crispy French toast
Aliyah W.

One seated you can order with the QR code or you walk to the counter. They had the game playing, nice area inside. I really enjoyed the Chilaquiles. It was a good serving of food I had leftovers. The French toast was delicious a nice crisp and very sweet. The Benedict was Definitely enjoyable.

Migas
Tiff E.

I typically bring my tourist friends here as I think it's one of the better brunch spots for American fusion with that SoCal vibe. What I usually get: 1. Migas with scrambled eggs, jalapeños, chorizo sausage, tortilla chips, mozzarella, pico de gallo and grilled potatoes 2. Crunchy French Toast topped with fresh berries, served with powdered sugar and vanilla bean sauce 3. Eggs Benedict & Quesdailla is also good here. Go early or you'll have to wait. Street parking might be tough on weekends but I've never had a problem.

Lemon crepes and chipotle bowl
Ashley P.

The texture of the crepes was good but I was not a huge fan of the filling, definitely hard to finish the entire plate. The bowl was actually really good and came with a generous portion of guacamole, I could get that again. It helped balance out the sweetness of the crepes. Overall good but nothing that made it stand out from all the other brunch places in the area. They have great deals on drinks though

This restaurant was delicious with fresh, flavorful food and excellent service. The staff was kind and welcoming, and I highly recommend it.

Vegan burrito

Their vegan burrito and avocado toast were insane. Same goes for their vanilla iced latte (I wasn't expecting it to be this good ngl) and their matcha latte.

Super cute little cafe on Melrose in LA. Went here during the Stranger Things cycling event thing. I would say this place is more of a healthy place and chill. Server was super friendly. Food was fresh and delicious

Churro French Toast
Mystery M.

We tried Blu Jam Cafe for breakfast and the experience was great. The employees here were very friendly and approachable to any questions and concerns we had. The manager was especially was very nice in helping us figure out the parking validation, as we had trouble leaving the parking garage after our meal. Everything we ordered tasted delicious and freshly made, but I will say the wait time to receive your food can be long. Dishes came one by one and while 3 of what we ordered came at a fairly reasonable time, the 4th dish took longer than the rest, odd. I had the French toast churros, and they were delicious, although I will say they are on the sweeter side, so the first few bites will taste good, but it might be too sweet for a breakfast choice. The complimentary strawberry crepe that was give to everyone was delicious and flavorful, I liked it! The rest of our party enjoyed their breakfast entrees as well, everything was freshly made and flavorful. The pricing here is quite high, but considering the area, you can't expect it to be cheap. You definitely can get some of the menu items cheaper elsewhere. Overall, it's a great neighborhood breakfast spot, but just don't expect it to be a cheap one!

First time here. Great customer service and food was outstanding. Delicious. Ambiance was awesome

Breakfast sandwich
Corey P.

OMG ! The breakfast sandwich is a must! Chipotle aioli, bacon, lettuce, cheese, and avocado? Whewwww!!! It was also served with a side of potatoes. Everything was seasoned well and served pretty hot for a to go order! Highly recommend this sandwich if you're in the area! Even if you're not, UBER EATS the meal! 5/5

Ginger shot -- it'll make you breathe like a dragon.
Tyler J.

This was our first time visiting Blu Jam Cafe. The owner-chef was in the restaurant and was incredibly friendly. In terms of service, be ready to order through a QR code menu or the front register, which does ask for a tip at time of order. You can leave a tip at the register after the fact, too. The service was very fast, and always helpful. The food was very filling. The chef/owner said they cook everything fresh. The food was high quality, especially for the price! The bathrooms were clean, and appropriately stocked. There are also pieces of art for sale throughout the restaurant - which was a nice addition.

The French…read more.. God Bless 'em! Setting trends in Fashion, Culture & of course the Culinary World. Yes, I know, we all wanna be skinny like those beautiful French girls... ;) But Sometimes.... You've gotta just ignore social norms and say F it! F is for French! lol Yeah, sometimes you've gotta just exclaim: "I'm gettin' the Burger and I'm most DEFINITELY getting the Fries!" And nobody and I mean Nobody is going to stop me! Yeah, that was me and my mindset when I was out at the Beverly Center back in August. Hey! It was lunch. I was hungry. & Nicolas Eatery was there to handle all my needs. And just like Napoleon Bonaparte would have done... I strolled in, I walked straight to the bar top, sat down, placed my napkin in my lap, ordered a burger, a side of fries and of course L.A's FINEST tap water. And just like that, instead of following trends... I was setting them! So what did I get you ask?? Le Beverly Burger of course!! This alongside their perfectly fried French fries which you know I dipped in Ketchup... Yes, I know, so American of me! =) Sadly, my only mistake I made on this day... I should have ordered my favorite French Beer, 1664 Kronenbourg.... Damn! But Lance, this Mall is so crazy, where the heck do I go?? Nicolas Eatery is located on Level 6, or "six" in French (Fun Fact: spelled the same, sounds totally different) and trust, my French is No Good! If you're able to snag a window seat, you will get a clear view of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. Of course I went with the Burger, but trust, this place has more than just French Fries. -French Baguette with Butter -French Onion Soup -French Omelette But if want to drink like the French do... You know they've got a little vin (wine) or you can go with the classic French 75 cocktail. So, to this ai say: Be like the French. Eat like the French. Drink... Like the French and come start your own La Révolution! But instead of storming Bastille, storm Beverly Center and demand your freedom to order whatever the hell you choose from Nicolas Eatery! And after you're done, walk out proudly singing Viva La France!!!

Even though the spot is not huge, it still has enough there for you to feel like you are walking into your local deli to grab a quick bite and carry on with your day. They have a restroom inside too which is a perk. My hubby ordered the rocco and he enjoyed it too, along with an iced tea and some chips, you really don't feel overly stuffed and I can see why it's a hot spot in this prime area.

I accidentally discovered **All'Antico Vinaio in Beverly Hills**, and only later realized they have…read morelocations in several different areas. Apparently, I had been living under a sandwich rock. The sandwiches are **made fresh and to order**, with a great variety of combinations--and the best part is that you can customize and substitute ingredients to your heart's content. And those spreads! They have so many good ones, but I'm especially obsessed with the **truffle and mushroom sauce**. We went with **fresh prosciutto**, which paired beautifully with fresh mozzarella, truffle cream, and a little fresh arugula for that subtle peppery/spicy kick. Everything was piled onto their freshly baked bread, and let's just say this is **not a shy sandwich**. The service was friendly, and I really appreciated that they let you **sample different cold cuts and spreads** if you're not sure what you want or haven't tried something before. No need to commit to a mystery meat and hope for the best. The setting is very casual--more of a deli-style café with counters and small seating areas. Nothing fancy, but honestly, when the sandwich is this good, the bread is doing all the decorating. We're not particularly big eaters, so we split one sandwich in half... and STILL had another half to take home. If you're a big eater, this is one **generously stuffed, fresh-baked sandwich** that could keep your mouth, stomach, and general happiness occupied for the rest of the day. So glad I **accidentally stumbled upon this delicious place**! Sometimes the best food discoveries happen when you have absolutely no idea where you're going.
