Had never heard of that before and I don't like waffles but why not try it. It was so good!! My son had the bagel and egg sandwich. When he asked for no meat they asked him if he wanted extra egg. Yes, please. This was my favorite breakfast of my entire 9-day trip!

They also have an online system in place so you can order ahead during busy times. Been there a few times and overall a solid place if a little pricy (pastry can be a hit or miss though). This time I tried their new menu LOX Supreme ($16) and Ice Salted Hojicha Latte ($6.85). Very generous amount of smoked salmon, which contrasted nicely with the crispy lettuce and creamy dressing. Portion was very filling. One minor feedback is for me they put way too much dressing. The hojicha was unfortunately a miss - very watered down and I could not taste the sea salt at all. Strange since I know they use Paragon's tea powder. Overall, I would recommend to get their coffee instead.

Usually strawberry purees in strawberry matches are almost sickly sweet with a strong artificial flavor but this was the opposite.

If you're deciding between this cafe and the one next door, I would definitely choose this one. The service was excellent, they have a better selection of non-dairy options, and our food came out fast. I tried the cranberry scones, which were just okay. The matcha latte was really good, the regular latte was decent, and the grilled cheese was also okay. The food wasn't anything that blew me away, but the overall experience was great. The ladies working here were really nice and welcoming. You order at the counter and bus your own table, but I didn't mind that at all. Overall, I'd come back for the views, friendly service, and the large selection of baked goods, sandwiches, and drinks.

Carolyn had the Classic BLT, which it was not. The classic is tasty bacon, iceberg lettuce, enough tomato slices to cover the bread, on some kind of white bread, with generous mayonnaise. The BnB version was two strips of thin bacon, iceberg lettuce, one tony tomato slice, on crusty nine grain bread with a whisper of garlic aioli. Very unsatisfying.

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.

The wait staff is also very friendly. You can I think book a reservation. Definitely a cute place. Ok the food. The menu is unbelievable. Classic southern country menu, biscuits, bowls, Benedict's, pancakes, and more. Lots of innovative dishes. My wife had the tater tot bowl and it looked good. I had the gravy coop - grilled pork belly on biscuits with gravy. It doesn't actually come with that much gravy - I had to order more. The biscuit is excellent - crunchy, consistent. I loved the pork belly. Crispy and chewy, really good. The gravy is good though I wouldn't say it stands out. The combination works for sure. The hash browns though aren't anything special. Oh and the portions are huge. I would come back to try their pancakes and French toast. I would make a reservation first though!

When he checked out their website, he was intrigued by their Picnics offerings so that was what we did.

The charcuterie box included in the Gourmet option was decadent and has plenty of cheeses, meats, fruits, and brownie for 2. We picked up our order at 10:00 on a Wednesday and there was only one party in the deli section enjoying their breakfast. The boxes came with a nice and sturdy hemp / burlap shopping bag and we carried it all the way to Stanley Park for our birthday picnic. We loved everything in our picnic boxes. The bread of our sandwiches were soft. The crab and shrimp in my sandwich was creamy and tasty. The Japanese potato salad had a very nice kick to it. My salted caramel cookie was sinfully good. We were too full to touch the charcuterie box so we brought it home for dinner with a bottle of viognier.

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.

Both were soo good! The tapioca one had a different texture - it was a bit more chewy. Not a bad option if you are gluten free! We also got their nutellacino which was basically a nutella cappuccino! It was definitely as good as it tasted. Their menu was a lot different than the last time I came here (around 3 yrs ago) and I really liked all the new items they introduced.
