Came here for breakfast after coming back from a cruise. I'm so glad we chose this place! It's super cute and has a lovely outdoor seating area. Our server was awesome. I started with the iced pistachio latte which was so good if you're a pistachio person. Since I wasn't super hungry I ordered a hash brown. It was unlike any hash brown I have ever had because of the texture and seasoning were so top tier. It looks likes a small amount but it's deceptively dense. I heard from my friend that the plain French toast was super good too. They're super pet friendly if that matters. Would definitely recommend Java and Jam! read more

Finally ventured out to check it out for breakfast! Got in pretty easy for an inside seating but on the weekends I think that might be a bit harder. Food was super yummy! The only thing I wish is that the specials that they serve on weekends were a whole week type of thing. Our waiter was super cool! Coffee is a huge plus for this place as well! No matter if you go simple or more sophisticated, they have it all. Will be back! read more

Great spot for breakfast and brunch! They have cocktails and really tasty craft coffee! I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch iced chai and it was so tasty! Our server was great and offered great recommendations for us. They could have used another hostess however cause it did seem like she cleaned all the tables while trying to keep the wait line in order. I enjoyed the turkey club which was a big portion served with a salad on the side. I took half home and enjoyed it the following day. They have both in door and outdoor seating! They don't take reservations and do get quite busy but it is a great spot to try! read more

Great breakfast and brunch spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I tried an iced Cinnamon Toast Crunch chai latte with a shot of espresso, and it was tasty- the Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor was perfectly subtle. The avocado toast was delicious and flavor-packed. The sweet pepper marmalade and avocado salsa gave it a kick, and the light saltiness of the feta rounded it out. The sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly. The service was friendly, quick, and attentive. I would definitely come back here again. read more

After traveling all morning we needed a little pick me up and tried Java & Jam. The food was delicious and the drinks were divine. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had the opportunity to sit outside and we were able to enjoy the city views while catching a nice breeze. read more

Came here after a long morning of flying and I love the location! The ambience is very cute and love the covered patio especially on a warm day. Service was great and quick! I got the churro iced latte and it hit the spot along with my BLTE! My friends tried their espresso martinis and I got a sip and it was delicious too! Highly recommend visiting here for brunch when in Fort Lauderdale! Downside is they only do walk ins so may not always work for a big group on a busy day. read more

Hands down one of the BEST breakfast/brunch and lunch in downtown Fort Lauderdale Fl. Serving in-house dishes paired with a latte, cold brew or americano or even one of their creatively concocted cocktails. This spot is family friendly but also a spot to bring the girls and have a girls brunch. The staff is extremely attentive and always have a smile. The portions of the food are above and beyond so make sure you show up with empty stomachs! Choose from indoor or outdoor seating or maybe even the coffee counter where you can grab your coffee on the go or a baked good. They serve a local favorite, Wells Coffee, so of course the coffee is on point. This place keeps you coming back so make sure you stop by!! read more

Came in for Sunday brunch with my mom and had a great time. Wait time as expected was about 45 min and they do not take reservations. The service and staff were pretty great the entire time. The outside is also very pet friendly as they were a bunch of people with dogs. To start I had the pistachio paradise from their February menu and it was delicious and not too sweet. My mom had the salted caramel cappuccino which was also delicious, but way too much whip. For breakfast I had the Taco Eggs, my eggs were cooked perfectly and everything was well seasoned. My mom had the traditional which was ok, nothing exciting about it. Overall we had a nice time. Service was quick and I would recommend. read more

Nice selection of breakfasts! Extensive coffee and refreshers! The egg tacos were filed with flavor! The rye bread was delicious!

I come here all the time and decided to order a pickup this time around. I placed the order on Uber eats and arrive about 20 minutes later to pick it up only for them to tell me they don't have it because they sold out. No one thought to call me and let me know? It's not like the order didn't come through b/c they had it in their system. No one thought to mark the steak and eggs as unavailable in ubereats? The pink-haired lady was apathetic and didn't seem to acknowledge the issue or care. She told me I have to deal with uber to get my money back and shrugged the situation off. I've been coming here for years and drive from Miami. This was such a huge waste of time and disappointment. read more

Came here for brunch with our friends on Saturday. They don't take reservations but, we only waited 20 minutes. Parking was easy to find. There is valet and 2 parking garages near by. The decor is cute! The entire staff are absolutely polite! Food: Hubby: Churro drink ( was okay) and the American omelet. He enjoyed his omelet but wished that the hash brows were cut in half & crispier. Friend: Mushroom Omelette with hash browns. She noticed that the mushrooms are canned vs fresh. Also I wished that the hash browns were crispier & thin. Friend 2: Loved the empanada breakfast. He said it was extremely flavorful. Mine: The grilled cheese with tomato bisque! Wow! It was absolute perfection! We will come back again! read more

Underwhelmed, we came because their pictures on instagram were so intriguing But was very underwhelmed with what we received. The Nutella French toast was very moist but missed the berries like advertised. The avocado toast wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order it again. I was disappointed with the cappuccino so I tried the Iced churro latte and thought better it was a weak coffee for my taste. The outside patio was nice, considering how hot it was they have a nice shaded area with fans so we were comfortable. Overall, 3 G's. read more

Really cool breakfast spot that has a boujie feel without the boujie prices. We sat outside and it was really nice. Staff was very helpful and friendly as well. I expected below average food just because it was a Ig worthy spot for pictures and thinking they'd hit home more on the atmosphere but everyone LOVED the food that came out. The specials were encouraged and we didn't regret ordering what our waitress offered. The Irish cream cold brews were just a little too sweet but still really good. read more

Java & Jam was a nice space. We went on a Friday at 9:30 AM. We got a table right away inside, then 15 min later there was a line out the door. Our waiter was very nice and we never felt rushed. We started off with lattes. The seasonal pistachio latte was delicious, but the churro latte had no taste. It was watered down. The cocktail was very strong, tasted straight alcohol. We sent it back. My husband got the biscuits and gravy, it was too salty and very cold. I got the avocado toast, not pictured. It was really good! My go to always. read more

Java & Jam - Undercooked bacon that was requested to be extra crispy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I don't like to write reviews that are poor because I believe it to be a negative waste of time. But some things to note. The wait was long. But it was a Saturday morning, so not a reason to dock stars. Some places you have to wait and that was made clear from the beginning. So this was not the issue. The issue was all the food came out lukewarm. The eggs were overcooked for the eggs Benedict (which defeats the whole purpose of the dish if you ask me.) All the coffee was far too sweet. More like cream with a splash of coffee. The place looked under staffed so I take all of this could be a direct result from that. But at the end of the day. No matter the place. If you go to a breakfast spot coffee should taste like coffee and eggs should be cooked properly. If those two things are not done correctly then nothing else can really save it. But you add the long wait and lack luster service. Then well you get a disappointing review. read more

Love Java and jam! So does everyone else, there is always a wait. But they have an amazing waiting system where you can see exactly where you are on the list with your phone. I always recommend getting a pancake in addition to whatever meal you get. They are huge and very delicious. The fresh squeezed oj is also a nice touch. I've ordered a bunch of stuff and no complaints. Enjoy! read more

This place is Pet Friendly to the MAX. There were so many dogs on the patio and dont get me started with the DOG MENU! We had the absolute best time possible for our vacation. It is so nice when you bring your furbabies on vacation and you can also bring them out to eat and the restaurant has a menu for them as well! They do have water bowls for the individual table so you do not need to bring one with you. If you don't like dogs the inside of the restaurant should be a safe bet. The food was so so good! We didn't get a single item we didn't love. The bacon is thicc and delicious and you get a good amount of food for the price point that it is. This is a fun concept with good food and a nice place to go while with family. The parking garage is about $8 and they will validate it taking $6 off. This is the pricing we had we were there for about an hour and it was nice to have the parking validated to make sure we weren't ticketed or towed. read more

Cute breakfast/ brunch place! My server was welcoming and attentive! I ordered the creme brulee cappuccino and the herb biscuit eggs benedict. The cappuccino was at the perfect temperature; warm, but not too hot with the right amount of sweetness. The herb biscuit was a very decent portion and yummy. The egg could've been cooked just a hair more, as the egg whites were a little undercooked. I wasn't really a fan of the spinach either.. I feel like the spinach made all the ingredients underneath soggy. read more

Tucked away and a bit hard to find but those are the only negatives I could think of. This place has a pretty extensive breakfast/lunch menu with lots of options for everyone. We went on a Saturday morning around 11am and got right in. Staff was super friendly and our food came out quickly! Cute spot, great service and amazing food. So glad we stopped by! read more

First of all, finding this spot was like a game of where's Waldo, lol. Maybe it's because we were hungry and our brains weren't firing on all cylinders, but it took us a good 10 minutes of searching. So, after all of the zigging and zagging, I had worked up even more of an appetite and was going to be so sad if it wasn't good. Luckily it was worth the journey. Three words: churro iced latte. To know me is to know I love a cinnamon and sugar moment, so this was right up my alley and it was GOOD. Coffee traditionalists, unclench your jaw, I promise it's a not an overly sweet mess. Those who prefer a little coffee to go with their cream, I promise it's not too bitter or strong. It was well balanced, you could tell the coffee was good quality, and the sweetness was just right. Very solid drink. But let's get to the real reason we were here--the food. I got the cheddar herb biscuit Benedict, tomato, spinach, avocado, poached eggs and hollandaise with bacon on the side, and it was very tasty. It came with a side of hash browns, but they kindly allowed me to sub them out for grits. As a southern girl I can confidently say those grits were some of the best restaurant grits I've ever had. I didn't need to add any butter or salt, they were the perfect consistency, and just cheesy enough. That cheddar biscuit was fire and a great medium for the other ingredients and held up well and didn't get soggy at all. We also got the banana bread french toast and I loved it! We got the half size and that was still more than enough to share. It's a super cute spot with an adorable patio. It was before noon, so the day hadn't reached its peak temperature, so we opted to sit outside. We had come from Louisiana, so while it was still warm, it was nowhere near as hot as it was at home, so we enjoyed being able to dine al fresco without sweating bullets. We also tried the blossoms and vines cocktail. It's kind of like a super fancy mimosa with peach orange blossom vodka, st. Germaine, orange juice, and topped with Prosecco. Very refreshing and perfect for an outdoor dining moment. Our server was great despite it seeming like she was the only one working the patio. She offered great suggestions and was patient with us as it was our first time visiting. read more

Java & Jam is conveniently located in Downtown Fortlauderdale at the the end of East Last Olas Boulevard, making it a great early breakfast or brunch getaway from the beach. The ambiance is lovely as the restaurant sits among the Downtown buildings and is generously decorated with plants and modern interiors. Our server Greg was incredibly kind helping us navigate the menu and checking up on us regularly. They really do a number with the coffee and the jam, as their name suggests. The coffee is fresh and packs a full punch of aroma and flavor. The same is true of the jam. Regarding the food, it is clear that it is prepared carefully with great ingredients. But the food was unfortunately bland, significantly lacking in flavors aside from cheese and sauces already on the dishes. Overall Java & Jam has its charm with its ambiance and friendly staff, but for the price point and location it was disappointing that the food was underwhelming. read more

I walk by this restaurant every time I'm in Las Olas since it's close to my job. I finally decided to go with a coworker and I really enjoyed it. We grabbed some coffees to drink there as we caught up and then we got a classic breakfast with eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection. It's really got a homie feel and you have the option of sitting inside and outside, so when and if it ever gets cold, you can make your way to the outside. The breakfast is reasonably priced, I would say $$. I will be back as there are good options and the coffee is what really won me over as they have the best quality coffer in the area. read more

Of course it is on Las Olas so the location is good, staff was good but all I care most is food. It was blend. No taste. They put a lot of spinach and mushrooms which is awesome but what to do when spinach has no taste and neither do mushrooms. They had their special called Oscar fillet. Check the pictures that I uploaded neither it looks anything like the picture that they had kept on the table and again had no taste. The drinks again were so basic. Only the names of drinks were fancy. They did not advertise anywhere that Oscar fillet was $42 and it is my mistake too that I did not ask. Any which ways it would have been ok if the food was tasty. They did not even give any asparagus like the picture showed. Moreover, there was not even small portion of butter or jam served with my toast. Never coming here again. Tasteless food.

What a huge disappointment. So many wonderful reviews, but sad to say this isn't one of them. Bottom line the service doesn't exist, you grow old waiting for your food, and they skimp on the best parts - one slice of bacon broken in two. Starting with the good is their coffee and the freshly squeezed OJ. Though they're both expensive. The outside seating is lovely. On to the rest...Starting with the food, the banana bread while mighty in portions tasted like it was at least a day old - dry and not much flavor except the coconut butter that was packed on top. Then we had the tacos and the corned beef bowl. The bowl was the better of the two, but they were really skimpy on the corned beef. The tacos with bacon was a joke. One strip of bacon broken in half and the tiniest dollop of guacamole. Come on! Our service was non existent, Not including the 45 min wait we were there for another 2 hours because the service was so slow. Just waiting to get the check we played two hands of cards. Sadly I can't recommend to family or friend. But I can to enemies. read more

The Food, drinks, staff and atmosphere are all outstanding! The DJ last weekend rocked the house!!!

Each food and drink item we ordered was on point. My wife and I split the Nutella French Toast which was a perfect start to the meal. The probiotic drink I ordered was refreshing exactly as I hoped it would be from the description. Highly recommend the crispy chicken biscuit sandwich. A delicious breakfast sandwich and I even had it without egg (unfortunate allergy) and it hit the spot and taste buds. Capped it off with a maple bacon coffee. A great balance of coffee, whiskey and sweetness. If you're on Las Olas, definitely try Java & Jam! read more

I usually order the breakfast dish, which includes grits, eggs, sausage or bacon, and toast. The seasoning of the food is usually to my liking, but occasionally, it misses the mark. I would have given it 5 stars, but I suspect it's a different cook who's responsible for these occasional lapses. read more

What a neat establishment. Highly recommend sitting outside. The food was delicious and the service was good.

Java & Jam is a diner, not really a restaurant. But don't be deceived as it is a really nice and very popular diner. It has a classy-looking clean décor about it with a really nice outside patio. The wait staff is polite and professional. As their hours are from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, it's a breakfast and lunch diner. They have a really good daily menu together with a special weekend menu. It has all of the egg benedict classics, all sorts of sandwiches, salads, omelets, bowls, and even a section of "Hearty & Health." As their name would imply, they have a big emphasis on Well's coffee with some 8 different types including latte and mocha. I had a cup of their Americano and would say it's better than the same at Starbucks. And for breakfast, I had their American Omelet which was nicely done with a white America cheese, bacon, and caramelized onion, while Beloved had Smoked Salmon Benedict with a capered hollandaise sauce, which we both thought was very good and at bargain prices. My American was only $13.00. read more

Definitely a great place to relax, seat down and have nice food. Definitely recommend. read more
