We visited Jam on Hawthorne with a party of 11, and despite the size of our group, the team seated us surprisingly quickly considering the weekend traffic. We were greeted by Jo, whose enthusiasm, bright smile, and attentive service set the tone for the entire meal. I ordered the pistachio latte perfectly crafted and full of flavor alongside the smoked steelhead hash, which was absolutely delicious, well-balanced, and showcased the freshness of the main ingredients. Once we ordered, the food arrived promptly. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the prime location. The restaurant’s vibrant walls, adorned with artwork from local artists, added to its warm and creative atmosphere. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d highly recommend stopping by if you’re on this side of the river and craving an exceptional breakfast and some positive energy.

Absolutely loved this place. Went there on a Thursday afternoon at about 1:00. Was surprised to get in so quickly but glad I did. I went for the Grand Marnier French toast + a side of bacon and their chicken basil sausage links. The French toast was incredible. There is something quite unique about it. One piece was enough for me though could have probably devoured one more piece. Bacon was perfectly cooked and tasty. Sausages were really tasty. What a very unique flavor. Had a Mango Mimosa and that did not disappoint. Met the owner who came by to make sure everything was going well and it was .. very much so. Love the vibe of this place. Will be back soon.

Tasty little place w my dream menu item, gravy over hashbrowns!!!! We got the loaded hash brown, Tommy’s Joint, and the lemon and blueberry pancakes. The pancakes were definitely way too sweet (for our taste) but the blueberry compote itself was very nice. The burrito was good w the house made habanero hot sauce. I absolutely loved my hash brown bowl as well. Our adorable server was very kind and attentive. Would come again if we lived in the area!!

Jam is awesome! We got lucky and went mid week an hour before they close (I hear they have lines around the block). Amazing service, atmosphere and menu. We got the pistachio cardamom latte and a vegan breakfast burrito with a side salad. Everything was delicious and enough to share for our light bite lunch. The staff were so welcoming and nice we immediately felt at home. Can’t recommend this enough! Worth the wait if you have one - thanks jam!
