    Iced coffee
    Suzanne M.

    What a quaint, upscale breakfast cafe! There were so many delicious breakfast options. I chose the overnight oats, a side of bacon, and an iced coffee. The oats were very filling, and I was grateful the waiter informed me they were served cold. The outdoor patio was very pleasant, with hanging plants and cute seating. This was the last breakfast on our Ft Lauderdale vacation and I'm happy we chose Java & Jam!

    Took the drive to Java and Jam as it's been a while and wanted to have a bite in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was cold outside so outdoor seating was a nice treat especially in south florida. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and it was delicious! The side of hash browns and the flavor of the biscuit made this the breakfast meal I was hoping to have! Just what you hope to have for brunch. So here is the bad part, my server was not very friendly. I felt like my presence was a bother and like she did not want to be at work that day. We were not difficult guests, we ordered fast, we enjoyed our food and left and are easy to serve but for this reason I had to give this place a big knock. Servers make or break a business and while I loved the food, the treatment is enough to not come back. I really wanted to like this experience but there's nothing that makes you feel worse as a customer then being treated like your business and choice to dine there is a bother to a staff member.

    Such a cute atmosphere! Make sure you get a reservation or come ahead of time because this adorable space is consistently busy. Service was timely and friendly. I enjoyed the meal, but didn't find it had a wow factor (I'm probably being harsh). Looks beautiful, tastes great, but not exceptional out of this world. Good balance of ingredients. Would definitely try some other menu items if I'm back in the area.

    I was in the area so I decided to stop by. On this particular day, a lot of people were standing in line to be seated. It seemed like the hostess was missing for a good while I opted to place the order to go. I ordered an egg scramble, it came with eggs, potatoes, pico de gallo I added cheese and avocado. It was delicious everything paired well it's definitely something that I would eat again. I just didn't like the biscuit. I should've just stuck with the toast. I also ordered a butter beer latte which I also did not like. It had no flavor and that goes for the taste of coffee as well. All in all I will return whenever I'm nearby again.

    I had been looking online at this restaurant for a while. The family was off from work and school today, so we figured to pop in for breakfast. The steak and eggs were great, cooked very well. The cheese grits were amazing. The omelette was good, my only suggestion would be to use real eggs instead of egg beaters. The French toast was super filling so we had to take half home. The OJ is freshly squeezed and amazing. The coffee was great also. We are glad that we were able to try this place today.

    Let me start by saying this: TikTok did NOT lie. We were told to go to Java Jam, and for once, the algorithm actually cared about our happiness. I pulled up with my family of six, and from the jump this place understood the assignment. The plates are MASSIVE--like "did we accidentally order for the table next to us too?" massive. The quality of the food is outrageous. Dear Lord... every single bite was hitting. I think I sampled everyone else's plate except my own-- just kidding, I destroyed mine too. Now let's talk vibes. The location? Elite. The aesthetic? Chef's kiss. Sitting outside on Las Olas Blvd, downtown Fort Lauderdale as your backdrop, people strolling by, sunshine doing its thing--this is main-character energy breakfast/brunch. Beautiful, relaxed, and somehow still buzzing. And then... GREG. Ladies and gentlemen, Greg is not a server--he's a walking Google Maps, Yelp review, and coffee encyclopedia combined. This man gave us a full rundown of the area, what to order, what NOT to order, how flavors work together, and even had us sampling coffee combinations like we were on a Food Network tasting panel. "Try this with that." "No, trust me, you'll like this." He was right. Every. Single. Time. The man is a genius. Bottom line: Incredible food Huge portions Amazing coffee Prime Las Olas location Service that feels like family TikTok approval confirmed If you're anywhere near Fort Lauderdale and don't stop at Java Jam, that's on you. Highly, loudly, enthusiastically recommended. 10/10 will absolutely be back (probably too often).

    Classic 1 Buttermilk Fried Chicken
    Anna-Kay B.

    This spot reminds me of First Watch but a little more hip to the times. We came on a Sunday and it was definitely busy, so I recommend joining the waitlist if you're short on time or simply hungry and don't want to wait 40 minutes to an hour. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes , they were delicious and cooked perfectly. For my drink, I had the hot churro latte with oat milk. They use Wells Coffee. I'm not a huge fan of Wells personally. It has a more bitter profile and doesn't give the rich, smooth flavor I prefer, but it was still okay overall. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Great vibes, good food, and I'll definitely be back.

    I love the green everywhere. The food was amazing and my server Jackie is outstanding. She touched our table every few minutes to see how everything was doing. I like that is casual and if you want to, you can dress up a bit as well.

    Roasted Turkey Club Sandwich
    Diandra L.

    After a killer workout, my friends and I were starving and looking for a spot to grab lunch and cowork. We decided on Java and Jam because it was close by and had a varied menu that would satisfy anyone's craving regardless of it it was breakfast or lunch. My friend and I couldn't decide what to get so we got the turkey club and chicken bowl and went halfsies. I loooved the club sando and the chicken bowl was good too. We also asked for a side of aioli for the fries which I totally recommend. Service was friendly and the portions are huge. You can find street parking or garage parking nearby. We sat on the outdoor patito but they also offer indoor seating and grab and go cafe options too.

    Classic Benedict
    Lisa A.

    This place has been on my "to try" list for quite some time. Finally had a moment to get breakfast here this morning. Absolutely loved my eggs Benedict. The iced coffee was great as well. My husband's chicken biscuit sandwich was "good". Biscuit was not his favorite in the area and the chicken was on the dry side. Overall, he said it was a good sandwich but would pick something else next time. We both really liked the hashbrowns. Definitely would come back here again. Service was excellent as well.

    Antita B.

    Food was good! Basic breakfast is good and tasty. Wa not a fan of the pancake as it was soft and filled with very sweet sauce! Taking one star off for the long waits to get a table. Overall, good place for good breakfast. Good customer service as well.

    I still really enjoy this place. Great vibes, good service, and yummy food! The coffees are a little small, but I'll let that slide lol

    Delicious food and great service. The eggs, hash browns, and sausage links were cooked perfectly and not greasy at all. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Metered street parking is easy to find.

    Great breakfast spot. It's situated in the Westin hotel and has great ocean views. They have indoor…read moreand outdoor seating. As titanium Marriott bonvoy members, we received a breakfast voucher each morning of our stay, which is good for your choice of coffee or orange juice and an entree from a select menu (see pics). I found the select menu to have many great options. I had the "smothered burrito" which was huge and delicious and did not have any beans. The "traditional eggs Benedict" was typical and came with a large portion of their potatoes- yum. The "huevos rancheros" was great too but I wished it had those potatoes. My husband had the "applewood bacon and poached egg avocado toast" twice because it was so good. We ordered two additional eggs sunny to go with it, as that dish only had one poached egg. He also got the "two eggs your way" which comes with choice of protein, potatoes and two slices of sourdough toast w butter (no jam). He ordered bacon egg and cheese taco with that dish to maximize his protein intake. That was tasty. Everything we ate here was a good portion. I saw the regular menu. Dishes are about $16. The pancakes looked awesome- maybe we will get that next time. Pancakes would pair well with the hash- it looks like a huge dish. They have a breakfast cocktail menu. I had the bloody Maria (nothing special but it said house made bloody mix so I wanted to try it), which came with a celery stick. I think next time I'll do the coffee inspired cocktails. Those sound amazing. We ate inside because the wind was crazy like 25mph. We ate outside one day, when the wind wasn't as bad, and found that there are some pesky birds trying to steal food off of server trays. So if you don't want the birds, sit inside. The place gets busy; you can make a reservation. We never had to wait in line long or wait for a table, but I think that's because we're hotel guests. Once sat, we did wait more than 20 min to receive our food. But it's ok. The coffee is good. The restaurant turns into Lona for lunch and dinner. They give you the Lona drink menu for breakfast too if you're more in the mood for a margarita. Bar seating is first come first served. Bathrooms are inside the hotel lobby. There is no parking for the restaurant but you can valet.

    I had really high hopes for this breakfast visit due to the great rating this restaurant has but my…read moreexperience fell short. My order consisted of the Machaca Skillet and a side of Papas Racheras (potatoes). The positives were, a) the portion size (massive amount of food) and b) the great flavor of the Machaca (shredded beef with onions, bell pepper & tomato. Now the negatives, a) the 3 poached eggs were all over-cooked/hard yolks, b) the side of potatoes were cold and had an unappealing texture. I'm not positive but I have a feeling they were left over from the day before because I arrived at 7am which is when this restaurant opens so if they made the potatoes fresh they couldn't have been this bad and c) after the waiter took my order and never saw him again until I was ready for the bill. He never checked in on me which is a shame because I had pierced all 3 eggs to show him the hard yolks and ate very slowly so the proof would be on the plate when he checked on me but alas, he never showed. If I lived in the area I may give them another try because of the potential with this dish.

We were coming from Hallandale, we had an 8pm reservation got seated around 815 which wasn't too bad. We were sat in a dimmer quieter section away which I really appreciate since our 1 year old was sleeping giving us the perfect date-night setting. Unfortunately the last time we been to Shooters was Valentine's Day 2025. We weren't aware that the menu had been changed since our last time dining which was rather unfortunate since the two entrees (seared brown butter scallops & shrimp and grilled soy-ginger glazed salmon) we came for were changed on the menu. We ended up getting the soy glazed salmon and scallops & prawns which unfortunately we did not enjoy at all. Even the sides were different previously you could just get a side of Mac now you can only get a side of truffle Mac? The grilled soy ginger salmon was on a bed of veggies (bok choy, Napa cabbage, onions, peppers) the one that's currently on the menu was basically on two inedible pieces of bok choy and a bed of rice I couldn't even break and chew the bok choy. Our server Ava was very attentive and sweet even gave a beautiful little treat for a birthday dessert ( not a chocolate fan but her energy made the dessert amazing ). After we paid our check we asked Ava for a manager and did specify that it was regarding the food more and not her service. I didn't catch the name of the manager we spoke to but her response to us simply questioning the menu change was she's not the culinary director or something along those lines but she would still hear our feedback. She just had such an I don't care attitude about it in my opinion and had I not had a few drinks in my system, trying to enjoy my time out with my family and birthday I would've let her know her attitude regarding it just was unnecessary. We unfortunately agreed to find a new go-to restaurant to celebrate our special occasions since so much has changed. Thank you so much to Ava for making our visit worth it! Didn't get pictures of the salmon, scallops, drinks or oysters that we got but I did get the fish dip and the dessert. Edited to add pictures from one of our previous visits
