Blu Jam Cafe... "I wanna jam it wid you."
This breakfast, brunch and lunch time fav, is a small chain in Los Angeles with seven locations, including their flagship in the Melrose/Hollywood/West Hollywood area.
Sherman Oaks is my local for takeout/delivery and dining in [which included outside or in... gorgeous patio space in the front as well as more to the side and in back]... You can seat yourself and order at the front or via phone courtesy QR... The future is now!
Having had most of their veggie friendly options on the menu. I opted in for the Vegan Wrap on the lunch menu from brunch breakfast. The Vegan Tofu Tostada, Spicy Vegan Tex Mex Tofu Hash and various vegan possible things [including coffee with almond or oat milk]... Unfortunately the S.O. location located on Ventura Blvd/Noble Avenue between Sepulveda and Kester... street parking mostly... Doesn't serve adult beverages like a lot of their other locations, but you don't need a stiff drink to enjoy enjoy a great meal here.
The flavors for all the food is stellar! My new friend Rich raved about the Crunchy French Toast with vanilla bean sauce for syrup and his boyfriend (an old friend celebrating his birthday weekend), Art enjoyed his Simply Eggs combo. He wasn't crazy for the potatoes, but Rich and I loved them!
The food blends well together. The service was great though you don't have an actual set server. They bring you your food and things you needs. A cafe of mint lemon water that's crazy refreshing, but then you're pretty set.
Lots of classic essentials on the table [pepper, salt, ketchup, hot sauce, etc] and you get lots of napkins + utensils cleaned and sealed in a recycled paper material bag.
Music is causal and familiar, nods to old jazz, blues, r&b, pop and modern throughout, was great to eat, enjoy and vibe out.
We saw who I think is the manager and/or owner working his magic throughout in a cool Lakers cap in a casual but stylish fit. He seemed really friendly handing out nods and smiles to all enjoying their meal.
A pretty decent deal for three meals, coffees, plus tip [a little over $80] which you do before you receive anything is very coffee shop or food of convenience... I know it can seem a little off beat for a restaurant cafe, but I gotta say BJC does it in a very special way.
Q Tip:
