If you're used to a denser, chewier bagel this one isn't it, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Prices are totally reasonable for the portion sizes. Great spot to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and coffee or to meet up with some friends.

If I could gatekeep one Buffalo spot but also want it to thrive forever, it's Jam Parkside…read more This place has become my go-to for slow mornings, creative resets, and "I need something that feels like a hug but tastes elite" moments. The vibe is cozy but elevated: natural light, warm tones, the kind of space where you can journal, edit photos, or have a soft life catch-up with a friend. Let's talk orders: Rose Matcha -- This is the drink. Lightly floral, perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and somehow both calming and energizing. It feels grounding without being gimmicky. I may have even gotten my boyfriend hooked to matcha off of this drink alone Cupid's Latte -- Seasonal but unforgettable. It's sweet without being cloying and tastes like a cozy little love letter in a cup. The kind of drink that makes you romanticize your entire day. Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakkie Sandwich -- Absolute classic done right. The sausage is flavorful, the egg is cooked perfectly, and everything melts together in that satisfying, messy-in-the-best-way breakfast sandwich experience. It hits every time. Chocolate Muffins (and baked goods in general) -- Soft, rich, bakery-level good. Not dry. Not overly sweet. Just the right indulgence to pair with coffee while pretending you're being productive. What I love most is that nothing feels mass-produced. It feels intentional. The staff is always kind and efficient, even when it's busy, and the quality is consistent. Jam Parkside isn't just a coffee shop, it's a ritual. A reset button. A soft, delicious pause in the middle of a chaotic week. If you see me there with a rose matcha and a breakfast sandwich, mind your business. I'm thriving

It's a cute cafe and convenient for grabbing a coffee for a walk through Delaware park or the zoo…read more They have a pretty big coffee menu , a few breakfast choices and fresh baked goods to go with your coffee. I tried the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich but it had a really weird seasoning on it that I did not enjoy and it covered the whole egg so you couldn't take it off. The coffee was ok but tasted very fake from the caramel syrup so I didn't end up finishing it. When I went to dump out the remainder, the plastic lid sliced my thumb open so that just confirmed I will not be back. It may be a good fit for others though and the staff was very nice, the place is clean and they had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so there are some positives.

The coffee and pasties are amazing! The service was also friendly, patient and quick…read more We had the chocolate croissant- perfect. Nicely browned, airy and crisp. Also an everything bagel with cream cheese, lots of cream cheese, warm and wrapped up well. More like a denser style bagel- not hard. Very good. I got chocolate in my Americano, the standard amount they put in was perfect. You can taste the chocolate and the coffee, not too sweet! Seating area is small and cute. Perfect for two people to sit and chat. Not good for a family or children. We did have our three year old and new born. We had never been here before and had already made our toddler wait to get a croissant so we had to make it work. If you know you know. But he is well behaved so it was fine. I would definitely stop here again if I didn't have kids with me or even to have a one on one date with my son.

I needed a change of scenery to get some work done and this place exceeded my expectations. Quaint with a tucked away sitting area that was perfect for my back to back meetings as they offered free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets. Decor was bright and Instagramable. There's an equally cozy bookstore down the hall that adds value to the vibe along with a candle shop that did the same. Customer service was welcoming and prompt. I appreciate service with a smile. Secondly, I love a place where the staff can give suggestions when I give them an 'idea' of what I'd like to have and they deliver. Ordered a chai tea, with more chai than milk and their suggestion of a vanilla shot was delicious. Will definitely be back to explore the menu. 100% recommend.

The barista was very nice, but this place is beyond understaffed. There were two parties ahead of us when we walked in (4 drinks total but one person also has to warm and prepare all the food too) but we ended up waiting for a good 15-20 minutes before our order was even taken. With so much time, also did notice flies in their pastry display, so decided to stick with just a drink.

They have a whole bunch of tables for two they have a few tables for four and they did have an outside seating area that looks like it might be covered for the colder weather, but I didn't visit it. They have a all day breakfast menu and then they have some lunch sandwiches. It seems.

The staff was friendly and food was ready quick and as we took our order to go, I was happy with the choice, that was until one of the sandwiches had not only 1 but 2 hairs cooked into the eggs so was thrown out! After the other one was checked, I tried it and it was nothing special and the home fries were ice cold! I'll admit I lost my appetite upon seeing the other sandwich so it was not much of a loss not eating more. Will not return.

Popped in since most places on hertel were closed & I just wanted a light meal, no wait, no crowds…read more Milk and Tea fit the bill. Grabbed a little brown sugar milk tea & a tofu banh mi. Both cost about $15 total. The tea was ready within 5 minutes & the sandwich took about 15, which they felt was worth apologizing for the long wait. This makes me think they likely serve patrons a bit quicker, if you're pressed for time. It's a basic setting, a bit more ambience than a fast food chain, but about the same level of cleanliness/service/friendliness. Noticed when a couple customers asked for printed menus they just said they ran out, didn't let customers know a full menu is available online. Unpretentious & casual. If this food is what you're craving, it's a nice little place to stop in for a bite to eat.

I also had an iced chai latte and added a shot of cookie butter syrup to it, which was totally unnecessary, but definitely was delicious, lol. Breakfast burrito was $11.75 which I thought was a bit high for what you were getting but overall the ambience and meal experience was great. It's not a very large café indoors, but there is seating both in front and behind the counter area to mix things up and there is an outdoor patio space that can be utilized with additional seating as well.
