    Tropical Twister and Hojicha
    Rosalinda M.

    I love their teas! The Tropical Twister and the Lancaster Mango are the best. I love that they are always more than happy to adjust the sugar to make it less sweet for me :) The employees are always super sweet! I want to come in and try their food and sweet treats sometime soon.

    What a nice tea shop! You can buy loose leaf tea or drinks and I got both! There's plenty of seating inside and they have a lot of cute local art on the walls which I loved. The staff were super welcoming and helped me decide what to order. I got midnight loose leaf tea and green mango tango loose leaf tea and for a drink I got the white champagne raspberry which was very refreshing! I loved everything I got and can't wait to be back.

    Had a nice meal here while visiting a friend! My sandwich was pretty good, but the tea was phenomenal! I would definitely back in for another try!

    Modern French Toast (banana nut) and Vanilla Moon (hot tea)

    Happy 10 years of being the best restaurant in Lancaster CA! Sometimes I go for a date with my husband. Sometimes I go with my friends. Sometimes I go and order to go. No matter when I go, I always feel happy and welcomed here. The food is always amazing. Currently, my favorite is the French toast!

    Jackfruit Burrito: Surprisingly meaty!!! for vegan.
    Gary I.

    The Jackfruit Burrito at Modern Tearoom intrigued me since eating Coco Jack at Spoon & Pork which is Jackfruit braised in coconut milk. So I even called ahead and talked Annabelle into reserving me a Jackfruit Burrito because it would be disappointing to drive from L.A. all the way to Lancaster to find it was sold out. The clean, contemporary interior is functional bordering on shabby chic. The space is casual, relaxing, quiet enough for a convivial conversation. The staff is pleasant and unobtrusively friendly. 1) The Jackfruit Burrito is huge. Each half can feed 1 person for lunch. Well constructed, tightly & precisely wrapped to the point the wheat based wrap is as taut as a Marine's bunk bed cover. The filling has Jackfruit that has a meaty, fibrous, pot roast like texture. Brown rice, frijoles negros/black beans, red bell pepper, Pico de Gallo of tomato, cilantro, green chiles, onion dressed with cilantro vegan ranch dressing. Side of Sonia's avocado salsa. It is very strong and complexly seasoned with what may be cumin, coriander, oregano, thyme. It has a Za'atar spice mix feel that has a dried, earthy, green herbal flavour and has a long finish in the mouth as well as burping up some of those flavours later. Totally vegan in concept. 2) Sencha, a Japanese green tea on ice was refreshing, astringent, thirst quenching and was a good foil to the heavy, strong spiced Burrito. I'm impressed that Modern Tearoom has a great number of teas and infusions. I like the airy, light atmosphere. It's a place to find alternate food and drink realities that stray away from just standard American fare. 4 stars PS MOAH is right across the street so it's convenient for a pre or post museum nosh.

    Im a local and had no clue this place exists. My new go to for everything tea. Variety of drinks hot or cold various blends, fruity etc. Looking for Vegan or not so vegan dishes. This is the place. Tried the not so vegan avocado toast delicious with a sprinkle of bacon and queso fresco oh so yummy. Definitely will return. Recommend you get here early, the place fills quick there could be about a 15 minute wait time so worth it. Very attentive staff. Great customer service.

    I came to the modern tea room a day before Valentine's Day, which is my anniversary and my wife's suggested this restaurant cause I really like breakfast and she likes breakfast too. We got their right when they opened or almost when they open. It was not busy and it's on the boulevard in Lancaster. It's a nice looking restaurant café. The server was very nice. It was a really nice atmosphere. We looked at the menu and they had cinnamon roll or cinnamon flavored pancake or something like that and I love pancakes and my wife got an oatmeal and I got an orange juice which I did not get to finish because it tasted funny. It might've been my toothpaste, but I doubt it. It was a really nice meal. I would have to say I would need to explore more of their menu but so far breakfast was an eight out of 10 and I'm excited about coming back to try the rest vegetarian and vegan and meat dishes.

    VEGAN OPTIONS!!!!!!! Hey Y'all I'm back. And I bought friends to celebrate a birthday. It was busy today. Soft music not loud. You could hear your conversation. There was a different menu today. I realize that we went on Sunday and had the brunch menu. I was expecting to get my vegan French toast. So I had to choose something else. I got nachos and tofu lettuce wraps. I did not care for the lettuce wraps. The tofu was cold. Our waitress took it off the check. My sister girls loved everything that they got. We each ordered two items. I am the only vegan. The seating sometimes is slow but be patient it is worth the wait. Everyone is so nice and sweet.

    This is such a cute place to grab tea. Staff was very patient with me and willing to describe any tea I asked about. This is my new spot to grab tea!!!!

    The Vegan Pancakes with banana nut was absolutely delicious, Casper was an expeditious and professional server balancing the entire cafe with the Chef. The atmosphere was lively with great art throughout the cafe. Definitely worth the visit within the cultural art district of Lancaster.

    If you're looking for a great place to eat on a date or with family. You have found it. Staff was so friendly and kind, explaining the menu and answering any questions. The food was very delicious and when I say that, I MEAN IT.

    Egg Salad Sandwich with Marmalade and Spinach Salad with Feta Cheese
    Artisticdiva722 A.

    The food was good. I ordered an Egg Salad Sandwich on white bread. Orange marmalade was also added to the sandwich. I didn't care for the bread being toasted. The service was Amazing and the young ladies were very attentive. The place was clean and tidy. I was expecting a real tea room, but it was just an average coffee shop vibe. That's probably why it's called the Modern Tea Room. They had so many teas to choose from! I ended up enjoying matcha green tea it was Delicious! I would go back for the service and the tea. The music playing was too loud. As I'm a 59 year old lady that's had her share of loud music lol

    White rose tea
    Angel L.

    Only got drinks but they were very good. Got hot Moroccan mint tea and hot white rose tea. Mint was very flavorful but careful very hot! Rose tea had a good mix of floral flavors, wish it was a not more rosy but the other flowers came through more. I did want to order one of the bowls but food to go would have taken 30+ minutes so no go. Drinks took about 10 minutes to go. It was popular and had a good smell. You can see staff brewing drinks fresh!

    Vegan pop tart ... like a beautiful marriage of the toaster strudel and poptart!

Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!

The burger had lettuce, tomato,union, cheese, that oddly was not melted, a nice sauce, pickles and decent looking meat patty, unfortunately the last few bites of the meat patty had a funky taste, like it was a little old, hence the 3 star rating, the burger is also served with a decent amount of fries. The Reuben looked and tasted amazing, also served with a large portion of fries, one of the nice touches on this sandwich was the grilled Pastrami, this was a nice touch, its also served with sauerkraut & Swiss cheese on Rye.
