"Here’s the unavoidable truth about Blu Jam: It’s crowded. Really, really crowded. They also don’t take reservations. But that doesn’t change the other truth: this small cafe on Melrose is still doing brunch better than most restaurants in the area. You’re here for their crunchy French toast, the brioche churros, and any of the benedicts. And for your constantly dieting friend, they have a large healthy section that isn’t bad either. They open at 8am everyday, so if you’re looking for an insider tip on how to beat the crowds, get out of bed and go early." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
