NOT what we were expecting! We were totally thinking "jam" as in "jelly" -- NOPE! This is "jam" as in "Ooh! This my jam!" Walked in to Ja Rule "Living It Up" ... already a plus! Food was excellent! Brandon made sure our potatoes were extra crispy, I had a vanilla pump in my coffee, and that we were well taken care of. 2 root beers 1 coffee w/vanilla pump and cream Yo Home to Bel Air +queso California Love All Eyes On Me $61 not including tip Bathroom was decent. No hook to hang my purse but I was able to hang it on the door jam. Walked out to "Regulators" ... pumped up my mood for the day!! Overall: MUST GO!!! Prices were decent. Atmosphere was amazing. Service was fast and efficient. read more

Cool brunch spot. The rumpshaker burrito was good and my friend's cinnamon roll was huge! Service was great. Definitely a spot you pick for the vibe. read more

Great atmosphere, with a hip vibe. Nice variety of items on menu. Fun descriptions...all that to say the Food was fine. Avocado toast, rather small portion and no sides for $13. Potatoes were lukewarm at best. However, the breakfast Burrito (Rump Shaker) was delicious. This was a Friday morning with a busy restaurant read more

Eggs & Jam - HAVO toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Growing up in Texas one gets used to flavorful and sausage seasoned Biscuits & Gravy. My portion of this entree was deliciously seasoned, but light on the sausage which to me were only pin size droplets. I fixed that by ordering a sausage link to entice the gravy, wait staff was gracious and very helpful in assisting me with what to order. Music that catered to the Gen Z group played in the background while customers enjoyed their well portioned entrees. The atmosphere is very trendy with a very creative menu that allows you to relax on their well worn furnishings. read more

Eggs & Jam - Great time at Eggs and Jam! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Love the breakfast bread pudding (not the actual name). Had great service and leftovers for tomorrow.

Super fun place. There has always been a 20-25 minute wait every time I've came, but understandable because it's a great place. Unique food and drink options, one of the few places in Des Moines with such unique THC options. Brandon was a great server. Food was very fast and delicious. read more

Eggs & Jam did that! An ode to hip hop with the food/drink titles & ambiance. Reading through the menu was such a joy. It's not black owned but clearly we are the blueprint I had one of the Bad Boy Biscuits (which our excellent server highly recommended)-- The P Diddy: bacon, cheddar, fried egg, and avocado, smothered with gravy. Added a side potatoes because you already know. Every single artery is clogged, but it was delicious! If you're ever in the Des Moines area, this is a must! read more

Unique decor. Good food. Friendly service. Critique - I was single on early Sunday morning. Maitre d' lied and stated no open tables and did I want to sit at bar. Had knee replaced so high chair is a no go. Magically found a open table .... lying is so wrong to manipulate your customers. read more

Love this place! Ate outside on the patio because it was so nice out. Been a bit since I have been here so it was nice to see that they have added a few things and that they have menus instead of having us scan a qr code. Service was great. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful. She was joking with us the entire time. She brought me a to go cup for my ice tea before we left. read more

Great breakfast! My mom and I went in, and we got sat within 5 minutes. We sat at the bar and had some great breakfast cocktails and some of the best brunch in the city! We will definitely be back. read more

Super cool vibes in here. It is hip hop themed with graffiti art of rappers on the wall, and they have a fire playlist of old school classics. The breakfast egg rolls were phenomenal especially with the cilantro sriracha sauce. The biscuit sandwiches were great, it was hard to choose which one I wanted, and the pancakes here are absolutely ginormous. I recommend the iced chai, it was crafted to perfection. Next time I'll have to get the mimosa flight, it looked like a good crowd pleaser for sharing. Service and wait was way faster than I thought it would be, especially for how busy they were on a Sunday morning for brunch. I could tell the staff was hustling and working well together to get people in as quickly as possible. Thank you! read more

Eggs & Jam - Biscuit sandwiches - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

4.0* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 3* Service: 4* 08/06/2022 This place has been on my Want to Go list for a while and got the chance to go after kayaking nearby with our son and daughter-in-law. There was nothing fancy about the exterior (see picture), but once we stepped inside (see picture) I was impressed with the modern, clean and 'edgy' atmosphere. We started with drinks (Supa Dupa Fly, Car on Cruise & Natural Aphrodisiac) - and they were all fantastic! They come up with some interesting names for their drinks and they all seem to be great combinations - hats off to the cocktail mixologist! For our meal, I ordered the Fight! For your Right to Pudding (see picture), my wife ordered the Sean Combs (see picture) and my son ordered the Mimosa Chicken and Waffles (see picture). We enjoyed all of them and I especially enjoyed the Fight! For your Right to Pudding (just be prepared though...it is a LOT of heavy food, so you will likely be taking some home with you).

Ventured over to Eggs and Jam for the first time to have breakfast with some co-workers. The food was delicious. I had the Hit 'Em Up sandwich and took the Raspberry Donut Cheesecake to go. I would highly recommend both. The 90's rapped themed menu items, radio playlist and decorations had me loving the place as soon as I walked in. A fun place for breakfast for sure! read more

Friendly staff, great food! Eclectic environment! Well worth the drive and wait. We have never been disappointed.

Traveling through on my road trip from Utah to Davenport, Iowa. Searched and found this awesome place. The bloody Mary was delish, and the P. Diddy, so delish but huge and I had egg whites the combination was so good! The bacon here is addicting. Food is of high quality. The hibiscus berry mimosa is perfection I could drink many. Probably my favorite thing here is the service, top notch! The vibe here is cool especially for us 80's and 90's kids but I think my parents would enjoy the ambiance here when I travel through with them next month. I came on a Friday mid morning and it wasn't very busy, no wait. Clean bathrooms. read more

I was in Iowa to run a 50 mile trail race on Saturday about 70 miles outside of Des Moines. After a shower and a lot of sleep, I got up on Sunday morning and searched Yelp for the perfect place to enjoy breakfast. After reading some reviews and looking at some pictures I put the address for eggs and jam in my GPS and drove over there. It was about 8:45 in the morning and I was able to sit outside without waiting. All the staff was incredibly friendly and my server Chelsey was excellent. She came by and took my order for coffee while I peruse the menu a little while. I ended up deciding to treat myself to mimosa. It was delicious. It had so much flavor. I asked her for a couple suggestions and she gave me some. I ended up choosing "The Informer" which checks all the boxes for me, potatoes, scrambled eggs, toast, an option of bacon or sausage, which I chose bacon extra crispy! it came out pretty quickly and everything was perfect. The meal was huge. The eggs were fluffy. The potatoes were perfectly roasted they give you a choice of jam to accompany the toast, and I chose a spicy peach. Most of the time I don't even use the jam, but I had to try it and it didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed sitting on the patio people watching while I ate my breakfast and enjoyed my morning. I love when I find little gems like this while I'm traveling because breakfast is my favorite meal and It's definitely the highlight after a good workout! If I'm ever in Des Moines again, I will definitely be back! read more

The servings are huge. You may think this is just a theme restaurant because if the names of the dishes but in reality it's just a lot of food for the money. There is a lot of value for $20 if you come here as I can't imagine anyone leaving hungry after trying to finish a plate They are also kid friendly so bring your family read more

Food was good but not outstanding. The wait was 10 minutes more than the time stated for a table of two. After we were seated, the waiter was slow and appeared confused. The ambience was noisy and loud. read more

This Brunch spot prides itself on a 90s theme, but the music was a mix of 90s and 2000s. Only the wall "graffiti" said "90's". We went for the experience and were left a bit underwhelmed. It is currently, first come first served for tables. Wednesday-Friday, you can order food online to pick up. But on Saturday and Sunday, if you want to order take out, you must come to the establishment and order it there. There was a line of people waiting to get in. We had to wait only about 40 mins before being called in. We opted to sit at the bar. The Food here is generous!!! I had the Egg White tacos with potatoes as a side. And I added a single HUGE pancake. I wasn't a fan of the tacos at all. The potatoes were perfect! The Pancake was great. I had whip cream and fruit on top. Glad I ordered the pancake, otherwise I would have been left hungry. We shared a Raspberry carafe, which equaled about 4 glasses. Good, but strong for real. lol. I didn't realize it was topped Chambord. Whew! Which made it strong, and took me forever to drink the 2nd glass. Again, there wasn't really a "vibe" to be considered a 90's eatery. There are TV's to watch, a college football game was on. read more

Eggs & Jam - Bread Pudding Scrambled - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Eggs and jam is always my go to breakfast spot and they threw me out of the water Sunday morning. I started to review their revamped menu- quite frankly not sure that was needed but oh well. Started with the humpty dance which is a raspberry donut cheesecake and wow that was the perfect lightness to a cheesecake which normally is very heavy. Then my fiance had the yo homes to bel air made into a burrito which is a Philly steak omelette with provolone and grilled onions added queso. It is beyond filling and full of flavor. Then I had the toast face killah which is French toast with raspberry whipped cream, raspberry syrup and fresh raspberries. With a side of their breakfast potatoes which are always seasoned perfectly. Eggs and jam is always my go to for breakfast. The service and food is always out of this world. read more

Food was amazing and vibe is great! Love the THC infused drink Buddha. Definitely my go to spot when I visit Des Moines.

Vibe- I'm a 90s baby so the music choice was right up my alley!!! The art all around is awesome. There's a mural full of artists that were prominent in the 90s (and still today really), that was probably my favorite. This is the perfect spot for a breakfast, brunch, meet up with friends situation. There's plenty of seating inside (a bar too) and a good amount of seating outside. Customer service- Great! From the time I walked in until I left everyone was very kind and attentive. Food/drinks- I got a raspberry mimosa to drink, it was the bomb! To eat, I got THE SUPERSTAR which is a vegan pancake with almond butter and fresh fruit (it comes with 3 but my server recommended I do just 1 because they are huge and I ordered another meal). I also decided to try the HASH STATE OF MIND which is a vegan hash with chorizo, seasoned breakfast potatoes, corn, bell peppers, and onions. Parking- It's located in a shopping center where parking spots are plenty! read more

Would not have expected the atmosphere to be so immersive when looking at it from the outside. Came here on a Sunday morning and it was fairly busy. We had a 40min wait but got in within 30 minutes. There isn't a waiting room, so you have to wait outside where you can hear them call for you. All the walls are covered in graffiti and they have a fantastic hip hop playlist. Their menu and drink menu have hip hop references which is hilarious. Indoor and patio seating are available, you can also be seated at the bar. I ordered the P Diddy, added some hot sauce on top. It definitely kicked my biscuits and gravy craving. It was savory and decently priced. Our server was friendly and helpful when we told her we've never been to Eggs and Jam before. It's pretty loud here w all the music and everyone chatting. But is still a great brunch location to bring family or friends to, especially if they love the 90s. read more

If I could leave 3.5 stars I would. The food was great. I had slam-wich and it was amazing. The sweet of the waffle and tang of the sauce works great together. I was skeptical of using the waffle as the bun for the sandwich and didn't expect it to hold the concoction together, but it did a fine job. l The potatoes that came with, had a subtle "kick" that gave them a nice flavor. The "vibe" was not my thing. Maybe I am too old, as I am a child of the 90's and the music was too loud. It was difficult to carry on a conversation because of the music and poor acoustics. We arrived shortly after they opened and had no wait. The hostess was not very welcoming or friendly. Almost put off. Our waitress was not very attentive and we had to ask for refills, extra napkins, and after the food came we did not see her until we had to ask for the check. read more

The vibes and ambiance inside are incredible and truly one of a kind. The jams are too die for!!! All the of the breakfast items are so unique and delicious and you truly can't go wrong. It's the perfect place to grab brunch any time of year but especially when the weather is nice because you can sit on the patio or play games outside while waiting for your table. The service is usually pretty great and consistent as well which is even better! read more
