    Lemons and blueberry pancakes ... maybe share this one

    Incredible food. You need to show up early to get in the queue for the 8AM opening... you will be happy you got there early Excellent service

    Fried chicken,  eggs and waffles
    Damien M.

    Friday after wifey had an apt we decided to head here for brunch. Small lineup outside and we only had to wait maybe 5-10minutes before we were seated at bar seating. After perusing the menu we ordered. Wifey wanted the buffalo blue Benedict but asked if she could have French toast instead of on English muffin. The server taking the order said yes but it would be an additional cost which was fine. We thought that was it but i guess this combo didn't sit well with her? She started to comment that the French toast and wasn't sure was good like this as if the egg was put on top it might get soggy, then she switched to she wasn't sure the chef would put it on the French toast or on the side.. eventually talking to herself saying never mind and pretty much dismissing as in.. ok your choice. Which should have been the stance in the first place. All that commentary was unnecessary. I ordered the fried egg, chicken and waffles. Also a side of corn bread. For our drinks we just got coffee which was decent. Our food arrived and the plating was beautiful. The fried chicken in my order was super crispy although bready but this is what was giving it the super crunch. Kinda hard to cut even though i had the serated knife. The Belgian waffle super soft and fluffy all throughout, no crisp on the outside. So when trying to cut through the chicken down to the waffle I was more tearing it than cutting. That aside, with the country gravy it was very tasty. On the heavier side with the eggs on top and as I get older I find it can't eat as much heavier items. I was only able to finish half of my plate. But it was very good! I tried some pieces of wifeys french toast and her chicken with blue cheese. The combo of bluecheese with the chicken was actually very nice. Her French toast was just ok imo. I didn't find it tasted any egginess so I don't think there was enough of a soak. The corn bread was underwhelming imo, felt like there wasn't alot of corn meal used as i didn't really taste it was corn bread. There were same pieces of corn inside which was different but inherently was missing the classic corn bread flavor. Again just my opinion. Over all a very nice brunch. Quality of the ingredients very good and flavors very good. Execution imo could be a little better and perhaps less judgment from server on the order Adjustment would have been nice. Still giving 4 stars as the ambiance and over all feeling was very positive.

    Fried chicken French toast, pork belly eggs benny
    Emily Y.

    I went on a Saturday late morning and waited in line for about 30 mins. There's usually a line but it goes by fairly quick. The food is very delicious. The fried chicken in the French toast dish was one of the juiciest chicken I've had. It was perfectly fried, lots of flavour and juicy. The toast is good was well, just thick and dense. The pork belly eggs benny had thick slices of pork belly and the seasoning on the eggs benny make it stand out compared to other eggs benny I've had. I think in general they have good food portions. The place was very cozy and well decorated for the Christmas season. The staff are all very friendly and attentive, refilling water and asking if we needed anything frequently. It's worth the wait.

    Good food and decent service. Came around 11:00 on a Friday and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Ordered #17, and it was good, nothing special but decent gravy and chicken. Overall would recommend if you're looking for a good brunch place and are in the area.

    Ham Benedict and avocado Benedict. Coffee was on point!
    scott c.

    I understand all the rage. What a wonderful breakfast spot. We arrived at 0930 and waited maybe 5-7 minutes. Eggs benes, I changed up the first one on the order and put ham instead of bacon. It was definitely one of the top three benes I've had in my life! (I've had many benes in my life!) Friend had the cinn. pancakes (they are plate size BTW) which looked fantastic. Wife had a tradition breakfast eggs, bacon, hashbrown. Definitely well worth a wait! Excellent food, highly recommend. Likely will go back again on this trip.

    Outdoor patio seating.  Sidewalk style
    Jon S.

    Busy place! Came on a Tuesday morning- little bit of a wait- behind the nylon rope on the sidewalk. Staff was informative , gave updates and were visibly trying to help and facilitate seating for patrons. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with the traffic. Service was quick and prompt- Orange juice was fresh and pulpy, tried my kids waffles and they were ok- he didnt eat much of them. Ordered plain jane pancake- was nice and fluffly w tasty real canadian maple syrup Had the chicken thigh benedict- in all honesty i wasnt expecting much- it was eggscellent! Egg was a nice benedict style made to order- and the chicken thigh meat was juicy and savory! Egg yolk flowed well . Apologize for the half eaten picture- i figure it's better than no picture. This place has a continuous line build up. Def seems like a goto place for locals and tourists. Eat breakfast here!

    French Toast Sticks
    John C.

    Stopped for breakfast on a Saturday. We were there shortly after open so there were still a few free tables left. We remembered from past visits the potions were quite generous so we decided to order one regular dish and one smaller one: - Fried Chicken, Eggs and Waffles - OK. Waffles were soggy and the fried chicken was average. It's hard to make eggs special but the gravy was pretty good. Portion size is a lot smaller than expected. - French Toast Sticks - OK. Average taste, but a bit too dry. Service was OK. More focused on efficiency than anything else. Overall, a bit underwhelming. This place prided itself on decent big breakfasts, and that's why it became so popular. But now that portions seem smaller, there is no value proposition. Just ends us being thoroughly average. Of course, when we left, we saw the large lines. I'm not so sure I would return.

    jerk chicken skillet
    Jerry L.

    Very busy when we arrived as it is a popular local chain. We were quickly seated outside and the wait staff were very friendly. The pancake was nice and fluffy, the chicken skillet, slightly salty with the seasoning. Overall good flavours but I did find 2 hairs.

    Pretty darn great!!! I loved the staff, the restaurant and the food!!! It was so yummy! No long waits! It was pretty cute from the inside. Staff was super friendly! Omg. I don't know where to start or end to this review but it's a MUST GO when you visit or live in Canada!!! Tons of street parking but could be pretty full since this is a famous restaurant. But I wouldn't mind the walk just for the end results! It's worth it! And try to get there early, so the like wouldn't be that long, but then again, WORTH IT! lol. Had Benedict's with kale and mushroom and added bacon!

    A brunch staple in Vancouver, there's almost always a wait but the line moves pretty fast so as long as it wasn't raining too hard i'll wait in line. Personally live the savory bowls (honorary mention: tater tot bowl, charlie bowl) but their portions are MASSIVE and they last me at least one more meal after. My go to is the green eggs and ham the eggs mixed with pesto was amazing on their bread and hash brown.

    The Cracker Jack
    Anushka B.

    It has been a minute since I went to Jam Cafe. Went there on a rainy Saturday morning at 11:00am and stood in line for 1hr 20min... but it was all worth it! I had friends visiting from Toronto who wanted to try Vancouver brunch, so I had to take them to Jam! I wasn't in the mood to eat eggs so decided to go for their lunch menu, it was my first time trying their lunch items. I got their flying buffalo sandwich with tater tots. It was sooo good!!! The sandwich was covered in buffalo sauce which I LOVED, the chicken was so tender and juicy. The tots were crispy and fresh.. I was very happy to try this out. My friend got their later tater bowl which was really good too but towards the end the tater tots got a bit mushy. It was very hard for her to finish it because of their huge portions! The Gravy Hoops were also really nice, came with a mushroom sauce, eggs benny, and fried chicken. Lastly, we got their Cracker Jack brioche french toast for the table. It was EXACTLY what we needed to complete the meal!! The nutella in there was so decadent and went very well with the whipped cream. The bowl of fruits were perfect too because one of our friends was vegan. Got giving the full 5-star for this one because I thought their customer service had dropped a bit... it took them 30mins to take our order after we sat. Moreover, when the food came we had no cutlery or glasses of water. The staff weren't super friendly and seemed like they just wanted to get done with it. I know weekends are a busy day for Jam so I get it. Would I go back? 100%!

    Blackstone Benedict
    Edgar Camilo F.

    Arrive early if you don't have much time! I arrived 8:05 and had to wait in line for about 20min as this place is very demanded. The blackstone was pretty good. The sauce on top of those pouched eggs was delicious and everything was served quickly. The portions are generous and I ended full to start my vacation with all the energy. The servers are very nice and the place is nice although a little small, but that was not a problem at all. I will be back!

    After all the hype I've seen, along with the long queues everytime I passed by, I had higher expectations. While the wait in queue was reasonable, and service was good, I was rather disappointed with the fried chicken waffle. The chicken was on the dry side even after dipping in the gravy, to the point where small.pieces fall off when I cut it. The bite is on the chewy side. It was not crispy like a freshly fried chicken. The waffle was a bigger disappointment. At best, it was like waffles at a Best Western 3 star motel where you make it yourself. It was chewy and not very warm. The syrup had little taste as was.the gravy for the fried chicken. My partner's eggs Benny was good but still not outstanding.

Jam Cafe, Vancouver Jam Cafe is my favorite brunch spot. Anywhere. That sounds like an exaggeration. It isn't. I've been traveling to Vancouver for work for almost a decade, and every single trip includes a stop at Jam. If I'm lucky, two. I've also become that coworker who convinces everyone to meet outside at 7:45 in the morning so we can be part of the first seating at 8:00. Thankfully, we're all from the East Coast and have been awake since 5:00 anyway. Over the years I've successfully JAMfluenced more business travelers than I'd like to admit. And yes, it's still worth the wait even if you're not first in line. The restaurant itself is tiny. Cozy farmhouse vibes, mismatched decorations covering the walls, and maybe 15 tables between the dining room and patio. It feels more like someone's favorite neighborhood breakfast spot than one of Vancouver's brunch institutions. The menu is comfort food turned up to eleven. Everything is indulgent, creative, and somehow still balanced. You can tell the kitchen starts with great ingredients because every component tastes like it could stand on its own. I try to branch out every visit... and then usually end up ordering the Tater Tot Bowl anyway. Crispy tater tots, buffalo sauce, Mexican street corn relish, and ridiculously good pulled pork. It's the kind of dish that sounds like it shouldn't work, but every bite somehow gets better than the last. And then there are the cinnamon roll pancakes. They are enormous. They're also one of the best brunch dishes I've ever eaten. Birdfluencer Lorraine M. declared them the best pancakes she's ever had, and after several visits, I don't have much of an argument. Service is exactly what it needs to be. Friendly, efficient, and quick. The staff knows there's a line forming outside before the doors even open, but you never feel rushed. Overall, Jam Cafe has officially become part of my Vancouver tradition. At this point, a work trip to the city doesn't really start until I've had breakfast here. If you're visiting Vancouver and only have time for one brunch, this would be my pick without a second thought.

For example, the Chicken French Toast is a quirky marriage of chicken and waffles and sweet French toast. It was a creative sweet-and-savory combination: thick-cut brioche French toast topped with crispy buttermilk-fried chicken thighs, hot honey, tangy pickled cabbage, and jalapeño sour cream. The sweetness from the brioche and honey balanced nicely with the crunchy chicken, the acidity from the cabbage, and the mild kick from the jalapeño. Coffee and other hot drinks are served in thick, diner-style mugs, which I love. I also recommend the lavender lemonade mimosa. Our server was very nice and had a small chat with us at the end. The interior is designed with lots of vintage elements that you might see in an escape room. Overall, a great brunch spot.

Even so, it was still delicious, mainly because the yolk texture wasn't an issue with the crema on the dish. That poutine was an easy 9/10. It came loaded with cheese curds, pork carnitas that weren't dry at all, bacon, pinto beans, roasted pineapple for a little sweetness, salsa, jalapeños, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro crema, and spinach. The herb potatoes were seasoned so well too. All in all, a great last meal in Vancouver from the food to the service (even beyond Dursh, everyone was helpful) to the patio vibe. Great spot.

The space is lovely and the staff friendly. It's a very good hangout spot for a casual meal or snack, and they serve some basic alcoholic drinks as well to pair with food. Overall very solid, would recommend trying at least once!

    Waffles for Dinner? Always a Good Idea!…read more I've been wanting to try Nero Belgian Waffle Bar for brunch forever, but the queue is always so long. I finally decided to pop in for dinner instead and waffles for dinner turned out to be the ultimate move! We had such an amazing meal from start to finish. First off, huge shoutout to them for not charging extra for alternative milk! My Tiramisu Latte with almond milk was absolute perfection. Here is what we ordered: -The French Waffle ($19): Their unique take on French toast using an egg-washed Brussels waffle, topped with rich pistachio cream, fresh berries, real whipped cream, and a delicious pistachio crumble. - Lemon Ricotta Liege Waffle ($19): Hubby's choice! A denser Liege waffle loaded with fresh raspberries, ricotta, tangy lemon curd, raspberry coulis, white chocolate, and pistachio crumble. Beyond the incredible waffles, the service was outstanding. The staff was so warm, friendly, and amazing with kids, they even let the little ones pick out a small treat from a sweet gift basket. . Such a sweet and warm feels dining in here. Fantastic food, thoughtful touches, and wonderful service. We will definitely be back!

    Second time here, and while the food is very good, the fantastic service is what stands out the…read moremost. But first, the food - I ordered scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage and paid an extra $1 for truffled lemon potatoes. The verdict? 4 out of 5. I'd ordered the eggs "very soft" and they verged on medium-firm. They still tasted good. I'll gladly pay extra for the truffled potatoes next time. My husband ordered the salmon avocado benny. While he loved the tomato soup he chose on the side, he was less enamoured by the benny itself. I had a taste and was underwhelmed by a forkful of overripe avocado and slightly fishy-tasting salmon. We finished with an order of beignets which despite being freshly-fried, were bland; although the accompanying strawberry sauce was deliciously tangy-sweet. Onto the service. This place spins like a top, and I mean that in a good way. Although we came at a peak time, all front of the house staff we encountered -- from the hostess to our bubbly server, to the smooth manager -- struck a perfect balance of being in flow, working flawlessly together, and maintaining light conversation with us. Exemplary. 5 stars out of 5.
