Jam Cafe

This spot absolutely delivered. I ordered the tater tots with fried pork belly and poutine, and honestly - it shot straight into my all-time lunch/brunch favorites. Perfect balance of crispy, savory, and rich without feeling heavy.nnGreat vibe, friendly staff, and a deep menu. Definitely coming back.

EXCEPTIONAL!!!nnOn the last day of a short visit to Vancouver, Jam Cafe was selected as the “farewell” the “icing” to this culinary adventure.nnJam Cafe Beatty Street; there are other locations did NOT disappoint. In fact, it EXCEEDED -very- expectation.nnYes, there was a wait; perhaps 15-20 minutes, longer for larger parties; reservations are not accepted. The line moved, time passed.nnOnce inside, the reason for waiting became clear: There are perhaps 20 tables in all; seating is limited.nnYes, it IS worth the wait.nnThe breakfast offerings were EVERY bit as delicious and inviting as can be imagined. Other diners enjoyed heaping portions of waffles, chicken, and almost every other menu selection.nnService was polite, prompt, and efficient, and once ordered, breakfast arrive quickly. There was no “rush” to the experience, which was another plus.nnBrave the lines, arrive hungry, and feast!!!

A must-try, despite the wait! The Jam Cafe line was definitely long, but the food was worth the anticipation. Everything we ordered was great—a true comfort food feast. The only stumble was with a side order: I asked for two medium poached eggs and they came out hard-poached instead. A minor flaw, but the overall meal was excellent and well worth a visit when you are in Vancouver.

Fried chicken benny was off the hook. The lemon blueberry pancake was delicious as well. Such crazy big portions. Could’ve easily fed a whole table of 4. The hashbrowns were different than what I’m used to but super delightful, almost like a mash potato on the inside and crispy on the outside. The sauce on the fried chicken benny was awesome too.

My friends and I came to this restaurant and we all got different meals and loved it. The French toast with chicken is to die for! Perfectly balanced. I recommend getting the hash browns extra crispy. The salmon and farmers Benedict were the best that my friends said they ever had! Even if there’s a long line, it still goes pretty quickly. Very enjoyable breakfast. Fills you up for the day!nnEdit: we literally returned the next morning to enjoy the breakfast again! Two of the four got different meals and loved them and my friend loved hers so much she got it again. Delicious. Photos can’t even do it justice! We also tried the mimosas today - we love the variety in choice. As we we’re waiting in line, we literally heard a family say how much it was worth the wait! I must, if you were in the city of Vancouver!
