Was in town for the jr Olympics so we had to come here. Inside the restaurant you will find a lot of cool hip hop related art with breakfast themes. Service was great and the food was awesome. We had the mo puff mo problems, which remind me of an almond danish. We also had a McJammy sandwich which reminded me of an egg McMuffin but better. It had fresh toast for the buns and candied bacon. I would come back again if I were in the area. read more

Love the idea of brunch & lively music jam! Gluten free options include, pancake, waffle, & French toast as well as a hash, omelets, chilaquiles, breakfast tots, & a pizza. Vegan options include pancakes, hash, and French toast. The atmosphere felt a little dirty but the service and food were great! read more

Stopped by Eggs & Jam for brunch and had a good overall experience. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights--fun, modern, and different from your typical breakfast spot. The concept is creative and makes it a nice place to meet up with friends or family. The service was phenomenal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of throughout the meal. As for the food, it was good but nothing that really stood out. Everything was prepared well, but the flavors didn't leave a lasting impression or make me eager to order the same dishes again. It's a solid brunch spot if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way just for the food. Overall: Great atmosphere, outstanding service, and decent food. Worth trying at least once for the experience. read more

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

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

I had 2 eggs over medium, seasoned potatoes, bacon and whole wheat toast. My daughter had French toast. The time was 10:30 am and the place was about 45% capacity. Our order was brought to us in less than 5 minutes. Obviously, the food is precooked and in a warm plate. My food was served at the tail end of keeping. The seasoned potatoes were not warm and looked over-nuked. The eggs were the only thing fresh. The bacon was decent and warmish. The toast was not warm enough to melt the butter I put on it. The server was polite and attentive. He did however say that my meal would be plentiful, it wasn't. I ordered a side of seasoned potatoes when my meal arrived. It arrived in less than 2 minutes, again not warm and looked over microwaved (wrinkled up). My daughter said her French toast was fluffy and delicious. She was impressed with the cool whip on the side, said it was yummy. We had water for drinks. The total was almost $34. Fairly priced if the potatoes would have been freshly cooked. I left a $5 courteous tip for the server. The ambiance was nice and casual. I would definitely go back for a glass of ice water. It tasted amazing and refreshing. Over all, small portions and lack of freshness. Time it right and maybe you can get it fresh. read more

Always great breakfast. The biscuits and gravy is always a must for us. Love the atmosphere and the people. Very attentive.

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 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

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

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

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

Fun environment. Food tastes amazing ! Probably just a one off the cubed potatoes came out cold l. But again they had great flavor !!! The egg rolls (You can touch this) and Philly cheese (brotherly love) biscuit meals were both phenomenal ! OMG that pancake tho! Those crispy edges **chef kiss** read more

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

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

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

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

Such an amazing place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! Fun, food is amazing, and the staff is so welcoming! 90's hip hop is my absolute fave and if it's yours too, you'll LOVE the atmosphere here! Unique drinks and big food portions await you, but if you get there around 930am or later, pack your patience because the wait time can be long. Even though the wait be long, it will be worth the wait! They have a patio area outside to wait and good space for kids to get out a little energy before eating. If you haven't been here yet, this is a must try! 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.

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
