I went to Java and Jam for a Sunday Brunch at about noon. We were a party of eight and appreciate that we were seated quite promptly (about a fifteen minute wait), considering that they don't accept reservations. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and although we chose indoor, it was open air, which was very pleasant on this breezy comfortable temperature day. Our server was quite friendly and offered menu suggestions which was very much appreciated. We ordered banana bread with coconut butter and were a bit turned off when there was a hair under a slice of the bread, the server returned It and brought us a fresh order, which we all enjoyed very much. The issue was the food coming out of the kitchen, it took forever. When it did arrive it did not all come out together. I suggest that you allow a lot of time if you choose to come for Sunday brunch. The place was not too busy at the time, so it's doubtful that was a factor. The grilled cheese and tomato soup, and the tuna sandwich were some of the favorites. We were given a 25% discount on the check to compensate for the mistakes which we found to be quite fair. I'll give it another try one day when I have more time to spare. read more

We were vacationing here and VRBO'ing a houseboat down in the Isles. It was a beautiful walk this morning to get here and everything else just kept getting better. The waiter, Jason, was very attentive, charming, and knowledgeable. The coffee was fantastic and the food incredible. Really cannot find a negative. Would definitely do again...repeatedly. read more

$7 Valet parking is no longer complimentary. Was seated and ended up leaving after sitting for 15 minutes with no one acknowledging we were even there. Big disappointment. read more

Almost a 4 star review but a couple negatives brought them down. We were seated inside because there wasn't a wait and that was fine except it seemed as though the wait staff wasn't informed about the inside tables right away. So we waited a little long before a server came by. Jason our waiter went to the table next to us first even though they were seated 2 tables after us. Jason made up for it with really good service and we didn't say anything about it. The other negative was my potatoes in the corn beef hash were not even like warn. Again, I didn't say anything and my wife's breakfast was great and the rest of mine was just fine so not a sever issue, that's on the cooks. As for the seating issue they will probably get that ironed out since they are a newer place. read more

A good and cozy place to eat breakfast or lunch! Went here with my girlfriend and had a spectacular Eggs Benedict with spinach and tomatoes, she got a tasty Egg Scramble Bowl, all the jams we tried (they come with the bowl) were great! Only downside was the Espresso coffee, which I personally did not enjoy. The prices are a little high but for the quality and enjoyment of the food that you get here, one should be more than willing to pay that amount. Overall a great and welcoming place, very likely to come back. read more

Very fun and nice place. The decorations and ambiance is fresh and artsy with plants and an open floor plan which made it very welcoming at first sight. Our waiter (Dustin) was awesome, very helpful and easy to talk to and ask questions. My boyfriend and I got eggs Benedict and the chorizo egg bowl + side of fruit. Both dishes were good, next time I think I'm going to try the avocado toast :) only down sides to this place were that the espresso we got was not that good and that it's a little pricy (4$ for a small side of fruit) but overall would recommend going here for a nice breakfast or lunch with friends or family. read more

Amazing food and even better atmosphere. This is my first time dining at Java and Jam and I've got to say both my wife and I will be coming again. Natalia was funny and attentive of our needs. I got the herb Benedict and it was made to perfection. Thank you natalia for your service. You were awesome ! read more

What an awesome new restaurant on Las Olas! From the moment we gave our name to the hostess to the managers that came to check on our table, everyone we came in contact with was so nice and friendly! The atmosphere is really nice with indoor or outdoor seating. The menu has a nice variety of breakfast and lunch choices. The coconut banana bread is out of this world, just the right crispy crust and moist inside! Every meal we got was delicious and can't say enough about the fresh squeezed orange juice! Loved this place, can't wait to go back! read more

Wow what a disappointment I waited over 20 minutes for a table , then 40 minutes for food . The food finally came then the manager came over to apologize for the wait , then we find a bug in the lox The restaurant did take the one meal off the bill but honestly they should of taken care of the whole check . Horrible experience and the food stunk . read more

It is basically overpriced Panera Bread Restaurant with food that is not as good. The staff was confused and it took long time to get the food. My waitress kept apologizing instead of doing her job. My cappuccino had to be put into to go cup because it took another 20 minutes to make after we finished eating. My egg sandwich basically gas station food. read more

The staff was very friendly, Greek omelette was great. The place has a cool vibe and very clean.

Big fan. I go twice a week. My only complaint is they need a big fan! I don't know what deal with the devil management made to always keep it so hot in there but man do they need a new air conditioner. Or to just turn it on. Nothing like a side of sweat with your breakfast. Love the place though. read more

Worst lunch experience I've had in a long time & I would give zero stars if I could. To be fair, I have had some other positive experiences at this restaurant but they have permanently lost my business after the way they treated my party today. Went with 4 coworkers for lunch & we waited nearly 30 minutes for our food to arrive at the table. Several of our plates had been sitting on the counter getting cold for at least 10 minutes. Because it took so long, we finally had to ask for the food to go. Went to try and politely share the experience with the manager & was met with her blaming the kitchen for the delay & telling me that the food sitting on the counter "wasn't cold" and there was nothing they could do. Basically felt like I was being told "deal with it". Returned to table & the bill was dropped off by the waiter without even checking if we wanted individual checks and then he disappeared. Had to go back to manager to ask for our check to be broken up. After breaking up the check, one of my coworkers was overcharged. Had to take receipts to coffee bar to pay because the waiter was missing in action. The baristas at the coffee bar took cashed out one of our checks then proceeded to clean the counter in front of us without even asking what we were standing there for. Returned one last time to the manager - who I felt based on the way she was speaking to me at this point just wanted me gone - to ask for the owner's name & was told she "doesn't give it out". I asked her who I was supposed to voice a complaint to and she said she'd "cover the bill"...but everyone had already paid & left by this point. Returned late to work with cold food, slight headache and feeling that somehow I must be at fault somehow because it was obvious no one working at J&J was... I hope this was a one time thing & that no one else leaves feeling this rotten from this place but I definitely won't be going back in the hopes of it being me. read more

The atmosphere is really good and food always consistent. All the servers are great but Ariel in particular is very attentive and pleasant.

If you are vegan--unless you plan on just getting coffee, this is not the place. I got excited to see that they advertise having vegan options, as my wife is a meat eater, but I am vegan, and we usually have a hard time finding a place to eat together. I looked over the menu first to make sure I had options, and between the sides and the avocado toast, I figured I could make something work. Once we got to the restaurant everything is premade, therefore the only real vegan option is the avocado toast with literally everything off of it except for the avocado. Oatmeal was premade with milk, other sides premade as well. Though I don't expect most restaurants to have a lot of vegan options, when it is advertised as having options, I figured there would be more to work with. The coffee was incredible, the atmosphere is phenomenal, the service both times we've gone has just been okay. The avocado toast is an option for vegans if you want to give it a go, but definitely not worth the money you have to pay to take basically everything off of the order, and was not filling enough on its own. Would go back for coffee, but not for a meal. I wanted to leave this as a vegan since I didn't see many reviews from vegans. Wish the restaurant would update its advertising to vegetarian options, as they do have plenty of those and well marked on the menu. Vegan options advertised is pretty misleading. read more

Loved it. Great atmosphere. Great food. They were short a waitress and it seems like everyone else was picking up the slack, but we were still really happy with the service. I recommended it to a friend for a birthday breakfast and she absolutely loved it as well. read more

cute and delicious place. Went here for brunch with my 1 year old and husband. The staff was friendly and professional. Everything was cleaned and we were made comfortable during this COVID pandemic. Will come here again. read more

2nd time here...server was great...but the champagne..beer n wine all came out warm 2x in a row! N we sat inside..not good! Ask for muffin on the flatiron or grill n it was put in the microwave..the reuben came w no 1000 n the meat was grizzly...other stuff we ordered was good. N i hav receipt and the server didnt take off wine u didnt hav off the bill n i paid for it! N the bisque soup was not thick at all...very watery. So...not just a good review read more

I'm sure the food is great. However my husband and I tried to go on a Sunday. The host told us the wait time was 35 minutes and we decided to wait. We waited for an hour only to be told it would be longer (30-45 more minutes ). Everyone was nice but that wait was unacceptable. Decided to go somewhere else. read more

Food was great! We went after the Color Run and were able to be seated after a short wait. Everything ran smoothly.

My new favorite breakfast/brunch//lunch place !! Their avocado toast was reealllly good that pepper chutney thing with the feta cheese and egg was a spot on combination !!! Huge hugeeeeeee fan of their banana bread and their muffins !! So fresh and delicious !!! Amazing food and place! read more

Was looking for a breakfast place in town that had biscuits and gravy. Found this place and had a great experience. Sat at counter and was immediately greeted by cook staff in front of me as well as waitress who asked if this was my first dining experience with them. She pointed out number of specialty's which included the biscuits and gravy. Meal was excellent. Biscuits were wonderful and sausage gravy was more sausage than gravy! Over Easy Eggs on top were cooked perfectly. Also had side order of sourdough toast that included house jams. Tried both the raspberry and strawberry and loved both of them. Woman next to me at the counter had the avocado toast and couldn't stop raving about it. Will definitely come back to this place when in town again. read more

The ambiance, decor, and layout of the place is super beautiful and peaceful. Indoor/outdoor setting with plants everywhere and really intentional decor. We were seated right away outside and ordered. Food was quick to deliver. Iced coffee was strong and the waitress was pleasant. The only thing that would make it 5 stars was that I've never seen an omelet made the way I received it. The veggie ingredients weren't cooked all the way and instead of baking them into the actual egg omelet part, it was all just kind of folded into the middle. This made it hard to eat and wasn't cooked properly. My friends avocado toast looked great so I have a feeling their omelets just aren't their key dish. Would come back and get something else. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! What a great add to the neighborhood. Atmosphere is new, clean and fresh. The entire staff are well trained, friendly, professional and extremely accommodating. Portions are generous but not ridiculous (like a Cheesecake Factory). All ingredients are fresh and hand prepared. I also find the prices very fair. Java-Jam is the perfect place for a meeting, casual date or to kill time. read more

Great food and service! Such a fun little spot to grab a coffee or meet with friends.

Great breakfast on Las Olas Boulevard. As a creature of habit, I have to try eggs benedict at every breakfast place I go to. They passed with flying colors. It was delicious. And the banana bread french toast with mango coulis was yummy too! The outdoor seating was really pleasant and the server was great too. I was very surprised by the pricing since it IS on Las Olas. It was super affordable, not ritzy and over priced like many places on Las Olas. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great service! The host was so nice and was able to get me and my friends in without having to wait too long. The food was awesome. I took so many pictures but I can't find them now. The jam is obviously awesome. I went with 4 other people and everyone got something they loved. The menu is small and good... the best kind! read more

Excellent food and service. The menu and choices were clearly well thought out. Nice and noticeable touches to dishes that stood out. We brought our dog and had no problem on the patio. read more

New to the city and the food is amazing. Also my server Kyle was so nice and walked me through the menu! Will definitely be a regular here

I came in with a client for breakfast this morning. We both ordered omelettes and I opted for rye toast. The omelette was delicious, but when I went to spread jam on my toast I noticed it had 4-5 noticeable mold spots. It was very off putting, but I did not want to make a big deal of it while in a breakfast meeting. I just stopped eating. When the server came to clear the plates I showed her the toast so that the kitchen didn't send out moldy bread to anyone else. The server acknowledged the rye toast was moldy, but didn't offer to get me anything else and didn't send a manager over to the table. When the check came, I was surprised that I was charged for my full meal. I bit my tongue, but my client noticed and said he was shocked as well. I ate 4 bites of my food and paid $50.00 for breakfast for two people when only one person ate. I'll give this place another try because I have had pleasant experiences here before and mistakes happen. It's just disappointing that I didn't get to enjoy my meal and nothing was done to attempt to rectify the situation. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot!! Lunch too! One item is better than the next... oatmeal, French toast, fresh squeezed orange juice, eggplant parm. Service is good, love that the manager checks in on your table. Dog friendly. Nice atmosphere. Everyone we've taken here has loved it read more

I was really hoping for Java and Jam to be one of those "go to breakfast spots" but unfortunately I won't be putting this place on my list. Upon arrival we waited approximately 10min to sit at the community table which was totally fine. Our server came over to greet us and brought our drinks. I don't remember her name but she was so sweet and very kind. We finally ordered our food and it took forever to come out. Good thing we had the muffins as our appetizers because otherwise we would've been starving. Finally once it reached our table it was ok. I had the #1 with a biscuit and no meat with a side of fruit. Honestly it was an ok breakfast. Didn't love it but didn't hate it. Everyone else said the same with their dishes. Nothing really stood out except the jams they bring out to the table. Cute place and is in a great location I definitely think they may need to rethink some items on their menu to have it stand out more than just your basic breakfast place. Especially considering the area it's in. read more

NO BANANA BREAD! All we heard about was the banana French toast. Got there at 10 Sunday AM and they were out. Really?? Food and service was good but how do you run out on Sunday morning?? read more

LOVED the ambiance and the food here. The service was good and the outside was very cute. I would come back and I would recommend.

Great atmosphere and ambiance, service was very good and creative drinks. Food was good. I ordered a tuna poke bowl which was basically raw tuna and avocado and mango on lettuce, which I wasn't expecting. Still good. This restaurant has gluten free bread, which is not listed on the menu but very good to know. We really enjoyed it! read more
