We went for breakfast today and everything was so good. Especially Joe the waitress was outstanding. He explained all the menu very carefully and recommend the best plates that he most like. We took his advice and he was superb. Definitely a great experience thank you so much, Joe. read more

Java & Jam is the perfect spot for breakfast or brunch in Fort Lauderdale! I especially loved the eggs benedict and the cheddar herb biscuit, both rich and flavorful without being too heavy. Their coffee is smooth and perfectly brewed, making it the ideal start to the day. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere feels cozy yet lively. It's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood the moment you walk in. read more

Good breakfast with a twist! I was in Florida for a weekend and was lookin for a good hearty breakfast. Thought there was a wait, we had some tea and people watched for a while. This place must be popular because the waitlist and the dining areas were packed. Glad to know I made a good choice. The food was really good and fresh. The cinnamon French toast latte was unique. The mimosas with jelly instead of juice was also unique but everything was definitely good. read more

Lovely breakfast spot in downtown Fort Lauderdale. We were searching for some place to go for breakfast before 10am and Java & Jam was a short wait. They have a cute waiting area outside and we ordered mimosas while we waited. The waitress was stellar. Our food came out fast and it was delicious! I got the American omelette - if you're in the mood for an omelet I'd recommend! It had bacon cheese and onions. My sister got the steak and eggs and it looked out of this world. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by last week for the first time and Sebastian was super helpful! He explained a few menu options to me because I have a dairy allergy so that accommodation and attention to detail was very appreciated. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great spot for breakfast or lunch on Las Olas Blvd. Fast and friendly servers, good food, indoor or outdoor seating and even a menu for your canine companion! They offer GF toast which I had with my breakfast bowl. The corned beef was chunky the packed eggs were cooked perfectly and the melted cheese was heavenly. Very busy spot and I can certainly see why. We will return. read more

First if you drive too fast on Las Olas Blvd you will miss it! And that would be a shame as not only is this a quaint place but it's full of character and and has lots of energy. And of course, the food is good. Specialty drinks are creative and great. Tried the Honey Honey Lavender Love and the Pistachio Paradise and oh the flavor! Very very good a Must try. They were so well prepared and tasty and the ingredients had such a good balance and nothing was overpowering as is often the case with some drinks. Here they make it right So many menu choices and pleasant surprise . . . House made apple jam along with my toast . . . Yum. You must try the Avocado Toast (It comes with eggs) They know how to make a tasty toast HUGE Shout out to Anna our server, she was amazing and so attentive. Service is so often a lost art at so many places but she made the experience worth it. Great suggestions lovely attitude and that alone is why we will return and bring our friends who are flying in this week As I mentioned this is located along that busy Las Olas corridor so do factor that in when searching for parking (Tip: They do have valet) read more

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

I was psyched to try this spot after reading all the reviews. I was disappointed to say the least. The place is chic, the service was good, but food left much to be desired. Foods Needs some flair or pride. Eveyeone eating said the same thing, it was just "ok". I had the French toast. They do a good job w the FT, but then serve it will store bought syrup? And for whipped cream I was served redi whip topping. For anyone in a kitchen w pride, u make both. Whipped cream is one of the easiest items to make everyday. Been to dozens of high end brunch places over the years. Never once was served redi whip and store syrup for a great looking piece of FT. It totally killed the meal. 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

Came here for a late breakfast while in town for work. The food was quite good, with all the staples you expect for breakfast, but with a number of fun items as well. Get the fresh squeezed orange juice for sure! The service was great, very friendly and quick. We sat outside, which was awesome especially coming from cold Chicago. This was definitely the best breakfast spot we tried, and prices were way better than closer to the beach. 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

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

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

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

Loved this boutique spot for brunch. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the wait was an hour for a table so make your reservations! Sitting at the bar was fun. I loved the use of aluminum on the bar, brick short walls and green tile on the back wall. The breakfast was excellent and the pistachio latte and churro lattes fabulous! We will definitely go back next time we are in town. The service was the best! Thank you Java and Jam for the great experience! read more

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

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.

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

Ambience is perfect. Such a cool vibe you can sit outside or indoors. Either was perfect. The coffee bar was excellent. Their regular drinks were good too. The salmon eggs Benedict was incredible, everyone at the table loved it. We also loved the chicken rice bowl and the turkey club. The cheeseburger was excellent as well. All the food was cooked perfectly. Long, wait but worth it. read more

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

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
