Great food and service! Very chill and casual atmosphere, good spot to catch up with friends.
Long line up though, plan for it especially if you are a bigger group.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 27, 20241 check-in
Oh Jam, you never disappoint me! This was the last location my family hadn't eaten at so we decided to give it a try and once again, I'm happy to say the quality of the food and the service are just as good as their other locations!
Mom got the herald street omelette but with egg whites and she absolutely loved it. I tried a few pieces and the eggs were airy and light and it was fantastic. Dad got his usual apple cinnamon French toast which is always a winner for him. So much food though and he only managed to eat a little more than half. I ate about 3/4 of a piece and man, it was SO GOOD. But also super sweet! I don't think I could eat that as just my meal! But the thick pieces of brioche with that strong cinnamon, the perfectly cooked warm apple slices drenched in maple syrup... Holy moly what a dish!
I noticed they had a new menu item that sounded yummy so I gave that a try, the eggs in purgatory. I am so glad I did!! Firstly, they really stacked up that fresh arugula on top of the skillet that by the time I finished eating just that, it felt like I had a nice little salad! But the skillet itself was incredible. The chorizo meatballs were large and had a perfect amount of spicy flavor that made me constantly crave another bite without being overly hot or anything! The spicy tomato sauce, a few pieces of thick tomatoes, a few onion pieces, and the eggs over medium all blended so well together in this dish. After I ate one of the meatballs and one egg, I ended up cutting up the other two meatballs into small pieces and then just mixing everything together in the skillet. That ended up created a sort of spicy chorizo chili! Long story short it was phenomenal and I ate every last drop of it. And if you're a fan of chorizo, I'd highly recommend giving it a try!
We arrived on a Thursday about 15 mins before they opened and only one person was in front of us. By 8am, I'd say about 10 people were in line so not too bad! Friendly service, clean restrooms, great experience. Jam is always a must stop for us when we travel up to Vancouver I will ALWAYS recommend it to anyone who goes up there!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 316367667Jun 24, 20241 check-in
Holy smokes! We stumbled upon this place not knowing it was one of the most poppin places in Vancouver! We got there around 8:30 and the line hadn't formed YET, but it started to around 9.
The food was SO GOOD. And the portions were HUGE. I opted for the pulled pork pancake and it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet! I got the sour cream on the side and didn't end up using it as I didn't feel it needed it. Everyone else in my party also throughly enjoyed their food!
The service was GREAT! We had a baby with us and asked if we could sit outside not realizing the outside seating wasn't open yet. But they didn't even bat an eye. They told us yes, and sat us down. I believe the manager was our waitress and she was SO NICE.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 1851144May 26, 2024
I went to Jam Cafe on a weekend morning, and the line was already decently long. We waited for about an hour before getting seated, and I believe the food was worth the wait.
The interior of the cafe was decorated with a Canadian theme. It was busy inside and definitely a popular place, but the service was still great. I love pork belly, so I ordered the pork belly benny with soft poached eggs and was very happy with it. The cuts of pork belly were nice and thick as mentioned on the menu, and the skin was so crunchy that it was a little difficult to cut with the knife. The hash browns were also crisp on the outside and softer on the inside, so I appreciated that balance. All the flavors in the sauces melded together nicely, and everything tasted great overall.
I tried some bites of the later tater bowl with buttermilk fried chicken (at an extra cost since it's not one of the two protein options), and that was also delicious. I'm hoping to come back to try more things on the menu soon!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 4, 2024
Came here for my buddies bachelor party so we had a party of 10 people. We had to split up into two groups in order to grab tables, but it worked out perfectly. We had to wait about 40 minutes, which wasn't too bad. Service was amazing and everyone was incredibly friendly. I ended up ordering the Fried Chicken Benny and it was amazing. The hash browns were so fluffy and flavorful my the hollandaise sauce was perfect and not too thick. It was a perfect balance of flavors. I also ordered the Retro Mimosa (double) and it was strong! All in all it was a great experience and would absolutely come back here.
Also, they will happily split bills for a large group!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 17, 2024
First of all, this place has HUGE portions food. The only downside to this is that we can't order as many things to try out! All of the food we tried out were delicious, my favorite being the Charlie Bowl, which was recommended by our waitress. It is a unique twist of a breakfast bowl with crunchy texture from the crumbled biscuit and sweetness from the corn. I took leftovers home and it was still good after being reheated!
Overall, I had a good experience, although I do wish they incorporate some sort of an online waiting list because the line can get pretty crazy and standing in line in the rain was not fun.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jun 14, 2024
This place is always busy! The line is never short and people will stay even on the rainiest day! Again, it's small inside with not many seats. The menu is huge and there's a lot to choose from. The plates are full and it's hard to finish in my opinion. I wanted to try the pancakes and we split them thinking we could finish it all. Definitely not! Since it's so busy they're quick at getting your order and then your meal out and as soon as you're done they come with the bill. No reservations are taken so either come early or late to avoid long lines.

We waited about 20 minutes but it's always worth the wait.
I usually get the gravy coops but wanted something different so I ordered the fried chicken brioche french toast. I don't think I'll be ordering the gravy coops again anytime soon. Not knocking the gravy coops since it's been my staple for years now but step aside, there's a new sheriff in town.
I never imagined I'd be placing pieces of cilantro on top of my french toast and getting some of that sauce and pickled cabbage on it and shoveling it in my face. Cilantro and french toast? Gtfo. My mind is blown. So good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 16138790Nov 26, 2023
Long overdue review of our favourite brunch spot in Vancouver. Yes, there's always a lineup but it's worth the wait. Healthy portions allow for leftovers for dinner!
I always order the pork belly benedict - the bacon jam layer is everything along with the runny egg yolk and crispy pork belly skin. The tater tot bowl is extremely filling (with tender buffalo chicken to boot) and very delicious and satisfying. Who doesn't love tater tots? The cinnamon bun pancake is a must - we order one pancake on the side and it's just a perfect "dessert" to cap off our brunch.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Danielle B.South Reno, Reno, NV11220Jul 19, 2024
This place was so delicious! There was a line out the door when we went, but it moved pretty quickly and the staff handed out menus and checked on us often, which was appreciated. I got the Green Eggs and Ham with avocado added. The eggs with pesto and spinach were so yummy, and the biscuit was perfectly cooked. My kids shared the cinnamon bun pancakes. Many thanks to the waitress on having them share, as the pancakes there are HUGE! They couldn't even finish them but they were so fluffy and the cinnamon swirl was delicious. I can see why this place was so busy and we will definitely go there again when visiting Vancouver.
