Blu Jam Cafe

two things I really liked was the water with the mint and lemon also my vanilla latte was excellent. For breakfast we got the Breakfast burger and Blu Jam eggs Benedict. The food was just ok. It didn't make me want to go back. They do play good music and have a good atmosphere. too bad the food was so so.

Visited for lunch today. Excellent service (I don’t like to be waited on so self ordering is fine for me); had smoked salmon Benedict and tortilla soup… yum!!! And the espresso - they actually know how to make espresso (I am European so I know what espresso should taste and look)! Definitely an excellent place!

Every bite was amazing, however I don’t understand the no syrup on dry French toast rule. The dish would have been perfect otherwise. And I don’t care about a chef’s philosophy. It’s not that type of place. Seems either snobby or cheap to not have that option. Good location and clean. I liked that they had water infused with lemon or lime. As you can see, beautiful aesthetically pleasing menu.

Unfortunately our meal at this Blu Jam location was disappointing. We ordered their signature Crunchy French Toast and a breakfast burger. I have had the French toast at a different location and it was phenomenal, so I was surprised when I tasted this one and it was extremely dry on the inside, and lacked a lot of flavor. The breakfast burger was also very dry overall. Parking was a bit difficult as well. I will not return to this location, and instead next time will visit the Sherman Oaks location.

EDIT: Since my original review, the restaurant did reach out to me and offer to correct the situation. My daughter and I went to enjoy brunch in person at their request and it was definitely a lot better. I think the key with this place is just to dine in, don’t order out. Food was delicious & the staff were so kind. Thank you for allowing us to see the other side of the restaurant. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have ordered from this place twice now and both times my order was wrong and arrived almost freezing cold. I live less than 2 minutes away so I don’t think it should be arriving like that. There is no way to contact the restaurant when the order is wrong and they don’t do refunds so you’re kinda screwed if they mess up. I don’t understand how my food is cold, but my juice & coffee are warm. I REALLY wanted to like this place and give it a better review, but I have no reason to give it more than 1 star since every time I’ve had it, it was horrible. Maybe they can make it up one day, but I doubt I’ll be going back for a while.

Went there for brunch and it was really nice. Love the set up. The atmosphere was chill. I can only imagine a dinner there. Got there and sat down and you scan the QR code for the menu and it is a cashless place....so yeah. They had some water bottles with maybe rosemary in it, and they would put them on everyone's table. I asked if I could get one and the guy said I couldn't get it myself but that he would get me one. I kept looking over and nothing! The water never came....it sucked. Being ignored ruined the experience. Food was good not gonna hate on the food. They have some delicious options! If you go and want to try that water...get it yourself 😂 not going back but did enjoy the food.

Food was delicious! It was our first time here and we loved it. It’s a counter-service or order via QR code at your table type of restaurant, where they’ll bring the food to you. Good, friendly service. We ordered the Steak Hash, Crunchy French Toast, and The Hangover Scramble. Everything was delicious!

Norwegian Benedict and crunchy French toast were really delicious 😋. I tried their ice matcha latte, but I wish I had ordered it hot instead for better pairing.

Little potatoes are so goooood! This is a healthy option for breakfast! The eggs benny are delish! The lox is delish.Cute spot too!

Really liked this place for a quick, yummy brunch. Love that you can just scab the QR code on the table and get to ordering. No fuss, and the food came out pretty quick. I tried the Burgundy omelette which came with spinach mushrooms goat cheese sundried tomatoes and more! It was super flavorful I liked how they cooked the eggs, they were light & soft and very well seasoned. It came with toast which I enjoyed with their blueberry jam - wow! You can tell they home make all their jams & sauces. I really want to come back to try their crunchy French toast! It sounds so good. And it's their signature dish. Hope to be back soon!

Such a great place in Atwater Village! I had the Eggs Benedict and French toast - both were excellent. The service was quick, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. A perfect spot to grab a meal in this neighborhood

Came here to grab food while killing time. The carbonara rice dish is always good. Add extra bacon! When I went, there was no wait. Depending on the time that you go, you might have a difficult time finding parking.

I've been to three other Blu Jam locations (Sherman Oaks, DTLA, and Melrose) and none of them disappoint!! Their menu is epic and creative--I was being healthy so ordered the mushroom salad which was fantastic!! You order from the table (or at the counter for the Luddites) through a QR code and the service was good!! They kept checking on us, just like regular table service would. We sat in the shade on the sidewalk and it was as lovely!!!

After a farmers market shopping my family and I came here for brunch. We were seated right away, we ordered our food through the app which was convenient I guess. I'm trying to figure out if I like that option rather than a waitress taking orders. I guess depends on what kind of restaurant you at in. It worked here just fine. I enjoyed my Cobb salad , it was fresh and delicous. My husband got the huevos ranchero over potatoes and liked it a lot. The brunch burger was ok not the best. The service was good so was the ambiance. Overall a nice spot to have a meal with family or friends.

Very terrible experience. We had to ask for ice multiple times just to finally be able to have some cold water. The food was all salty and terrible. They brought out each of our food separately so by the time one of us would eat something, the other persons would come out. The chilaquiles was sooo watery that by the time it came to the table, the tortillas were soft and falling apart.

Giving all stars because of the waiter, cooks and barista. Not sure if we looked lost but he was kind enough to asked us if it was our first time. We sat down where we liked and of course I checked Yelp for reviews and recommendations prior to ordering via QR code. It was easy ordering since it was brunch and we'd split the check anyway. I have gone to the Encino/Tarzana location before. I do remember ordering the same chicken sandwich but this time it was shredded chicken bs an entire piece. Overall our food, drinks and service was great. They even gave us a complimentary crepe with strawberry or raspberry jam. That was great too but I would add hazelnut to elevate it. Anyway the thought is what counts.

This place has decent food but a bit overpriced. There were a few full tables during my visit. The staff does inform you that the menu is via QR code which is on the table and you can order through the code as well. I remember really enjoying their French toast but this visit it was lacking flavor and was dry. The potatoes were also one of my favs but they were overcooked and hard to eat. Crunchy French Toast- 5/10 The cornflake breading was patchy on the slices and stale. Also the side of vanilla bean sauce tasted and looked like milk (there wasn't one spec of vanilla bean). For $17 I wanted more flavor and moisture. Hangover Scramble- 7/10 This dish had some flavor but was overpowered by the excessive amount of black beans. Kids Breakfast- 9/10 Perfect breakfast portion. The only thing keeping this from a 10 was the super hard potatoes. Ginger Shot- 10/10 These tasted super fresh and had a punch. If you check in on Yelp you get ginger shots for your table. If you're going to visit it is better to come during the weekday as I have seen this place busier on the weekend.

Shakshuka:I was not satisfied with the balance between the soup and eggs. It would benefit from at least an extra egg, as it leaned more towards tangy tomato soup with bread rather than a fully satisfying dish. Carbonara eggs: Be warned, it is a very salty dish due to the amount of bacon pieces included. While it was too much for my friend, I enjoyed it. Mimosa: Delish. No complaints here. Latte: Perfect

The food was okay. Everything came out kinda cold. I also wish they had more hollandaise sauce on them. The service was also okay. I felt like they were annoyed anytime we asked them about anything. The ambiance is cute. It's a nice brunch spot

So good! Service is weird though, you scan the QR code, order, pay, and they ask for a tip while completing your order.. I still tripped, but you don't get typical restaurant service with a server.. the food was AMAZING though! Big portion, couldn't finish.

This is by far my favorite location! The food is amazing and all the staff is super friendly!!! I have a toddler and as soon as we were seated Madison brought over watermelon and potatoes to my son! Such a nice gesture because you know toddlers want their food fast!

Very open space. my sandwich had excellent flavor easy ordering on your phone and questions can be answered by the staff. Food came out fast and hot

I'm disappointed in the poor service we received at this restaurant. Food is expensive as it is, to get this type of service is cheap. You have to place your own order, so the staff are totally not invested in customer service. The food was mid.

The food was Amazing! It hit the spot! There is free parking and/or meter parking in the area. The pricing was good too. Staff was friendly which is always a big plus for me. There was about a 20-30 min wait. They text you when the table is ready. There are plenty of local shopping places around the area while you wait.

This place wasn't anything to rave about. I ordered the French toast (5/5), the chilaquiles (3/5), and the salmon bowl (2/5). The French toast was delicious, but they ran out of syrup, which was disappointing. The restaurant also seemed understaffed. On top of that, I noticed a cook handling food with bare hands. Between the inconsistent food, and lack of service, this isn't a place I'd come back to.

First time in this location , been going to Melrose location. It was for late lunch on a Sunday, we found parking in the street. Place has a nice ambiance, staff were nice and attentive. We had their best seller crunchy french toast and it didnt fail us... it was delish as ever. California Omelette and Breakfast Pasta were shareable.. also sumptious and not to forget their coffee as well. It was such a cozy Sunday Lunch date. Will definitely come back on this location.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning for brunch and got seated right away. We were a bit confused at first since nobody explained it, but you can order via the QR code or go up to the cashier. I got the Florentine Benedict and found it so yummy! The flavors were good and the potatoes were crispy. My boyfriend got the shakshuka and thought it was really!

Food is very bland. We ordered the chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros and it was the most boring dishes. The huevos rancheros had cold day old pico de gallo, with warm over cooked eggs, cold cheddar cheese, and cold refrigerated avocado, over warm beans and maybe 4 cups of warm potatoes to try and compensate for the plate. Something about taking a bite that has really cold and warm ingredients is awful. The chilaquiles didn't have any chile.... Part of the main dish. The salsa on the chilaquiles was really watery almost like a chicken soup. The chilaquiles didn't have a good amount of chicken which was good. Since you order and pay upon arrival there is no service. I don't like leaving negative reviews but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Great place! Salmon eggs Benedict is out of this world! Must try ice lavender earl grey tea!

Love it! We were a group of 3 ( 2 Adults, and 1 child) for a Saturday morning brunch. There were a lot of people inside and a few outside and decided to enjoy the fresh air outside. What we did: Check in for the join list, either do it here on Yelp or their tablet in front. Then, we scanned their menu, the server told us to either order online then send it to our table or go up front to order which she said would be faster. I also checked in to Yelp so we got to enjoy our free ginger shots each (they made one for my child as well -an orange shot I think) There are a lot of options on their menu. We had Breakfast pasta, Morning hash, and kid's quesadilla (check my shared pic!) - to be honest - it is expensive but their food is delicious!! Also, their servings are big!! It's good for 2 people. The kid's quesadilla I did not expect it would be that big and it's presentation is underrated for a $7.95 kid's meal. We just parked in front - metered parking (1 hour max) but I think they also have parking at the back. Staff are really nice and all in all we will come back!

This restaurant was very convenient to visit on a weekday. Located in Atwater Village, there is plenty of parking available at the back. Despite being busy, the restaurant had both outdoor and indoor seating available with no wait. You order food by scanning the QR code on each table, paying for the meal and tip before the food arrives. We customized some of our drink orders, and they were served as requested. Portion sizes were large, so sharing is a good idea. The ambiance on a Wednesday was busy and lively.

It was my first time trying this spot and it was such a hit. From the yummy food selections, attentive service, and chill vibes, my party of 2 had a great experience. The portions are also huge which is always appreciated. Special thank you to Madison and the team for taking great care of us.

I met a friend here on my trip to LA, and was pleasantly surprised with the casual vibe and quality food. This is a counter-service or seat-yourself restaurant with coffee and light breakfast. At your table, you can scan a QR code and order right from your seat and a server will bring out your food and drinks out when they're ready. If you're just looking for a coffee to-go, you can also order at the counter like you would at any other coffee shop. The food was really enjoyable. they have small, crispy potatoes and really fresh avocado along with fluffy eggs and a nice presentation. If I find myself in the area again, I would definitely stop for a second breakfast.

The food here is amazing. I ordered an omelette which was a huge portion that I thought I wouldn't take it, but it was so good that I devoured the whole thing. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was 100% satisfied with every thing The service is very fast although I'm only getting four stars because you have to order online and pay before they'll bring any food out which makes it difficult for bigger parties or if you wanted to add anything to your bill you'd have to do a separate check. The restaurant is nice clean and quiet and it's in a very Cool neighborhood with tons of other little shops and things to do around the city.

Will definitely come back.! The food was great. Lots of options and big servings. Have to pay first before you dine in which is also good, you can just leave whenever ur done.

Got here right when it opened at 9 on a Sunday and got seated right away. Ordered the Norwegian Benedict and the coconut creme tea. The portion is very decent and everything tastes yummy - everything you can expect at a great brunch spot! One of the signature dishes is the crunchy French toast, which is great for sharing! I've had it in the past and it's very crunchy yet moist on the inside! You can either scan the QR code to order or order at the counter inside. There's also self serve station where you can get to do boxes and cups. There's both indoor and outdoor seating! There's street parking available and there's street parking across the street as well. Join the Yelp waitlist either beforehand or at the front of the restaurant (look for the iPad kiosk)! Surprising to find farmer's market right outside (every Sunday)!

Was excited to try this spot but it was a disappointment not only for me but for my friends as well. We were a bit confused on how to place an order. When we walked in there, there was know one in line- we were told to choose a table before we can order.. we had to scan the QR code on the table and had the choice to either order at the register or through the app. A few of us ordered the vanilla latte w/ either Oatmilk or almond milk and it was VERY Strong. French toast was dry and the sauce that came with it did not compliment the rest of the dish. Chilaquiles were alright- def had better. Parking- street parking and small parking lot behind the restaurant.

Been a long-time customer of Blue Jam Cafe and I absolutely love the food, vibe, and customer service. I usually order the power-house and its FIRE! They have some bomb coffee as well. In the mood to drink? Mimosas and cocktails are BOMB. The Cali Sunset is my personal favorite. Perhaps my favorite part about this place is how kid friendly it is. Last time I was there the GM Madison came by and welcomed us and spent some time talking to my kids. I have 3 small kids, and they were giving us hard time when we were in the restaurant. Madison brought by a bowl of fruit before ordered to keep them occupied! That was so kind and made us feel super welcome. It's not often you get customer service like that. The place is super dog friendly too! It even has a dog menu! I love to pop in here on Sundays and walk around the farmers market (which is right next door) with my pup. The only thing I wish they had was more healthy options for breakfast. A lot of their foods are super high calorie. As a health-conscious person this is my only complaint. Bonus points: They have football on the TVs on Sunday! So I can enjoy breakfast with my family and keep my eyes on the game. 10/10 recommend.

Great way to start my Monday with an awesome breakfast and great service from Yasmin and Eliseo. A feel well environment at Blu Jam

We are so appreciative of Madison Kimberly And the staff at this Blu Jam. They are so kind and attentive each time we come. Strongly recommend this location. We miss seeing Trista as she was amazing! A great place, great food and friendly, we always look forward to the next time. Thanks Madison and team!!

Nice spot for a Saturday brunch! I came around 10:30 am and it was not crowded at all so there was no wait. You reserve your spot to sit via Yelp which makes the process smoother. I appreciated the option to pay online via my phone or order at the front register. I had the crunchy French toast and the vanilla glaze it's paired with was delightful. I was lent sure what to expect since the menu states they don't offer syrup but this was a nice alternative. I also ordered the Blue Jam Benedict. I loved the diced potatoes they were the perfect bite sized. While they don't have syrup they luckily had ketchup! To wash it down I had a dirty chai which was decent but I didn't really taste the chai but it did look delicious. The staff was awesome! They were all very friendly and attentive and they even gave free ginger lemon shots with chili powder. I was scared to try it but it felt very cleansing lol. Overall great spot to visit with friends or family with the indoor and outdoor seating selection.

Was surprise to see a Blu Jam opened up in my childhood neighborhood and relived I no longer needed to fight the traffic on the 101 to go the Valley location. I don't know if it was because it was delivered but the food was just ho hum. To me it was lacking in flavor and that comfort feeling you get when having a wholesome breakfast. The sandwich was just plain, I've had better tasting elsewhere, the potatoes however where not soggy and had a nice crispy on the outside. I wasn't able to enjoy the iced coffee even tho it was made with oak milk for my dairy restrictions, it was actually to strong, the kind of hurt my stomach strong. That was extremely disappointing for this coffee whore. A good note my picky eater son enjoyed the French toast I definitely considered that a win. I haven't decided if I'll even do a second attempt or hit the fwy to the Blu Jam in the valley.

My first trip to the Atwater location. The decor is trendy and modern. The food is excellent. They have 5 delicious vegan options in addition to their large menu of non-vegan items. The staff is pleasant and attentive. Planning a return trip soon

WHEN: New Years Day @9am PARKING: Because I came at opening time, I was able to find parking right in front. It's metered but since its a holiday, it was free. Since it was a bit after opening time, there were a lot of seats open. You seat yourself, and order either from the counter or the app. I appreciate the many outdoor seating options but it was pretty cold. I've been to Blu Jam many times, but not at this location. Here's what I had: CRUNCHY FRENCH TOAST - $15.95 French brioche dipped in their secret batter, rolled in crunchy corn flakes and grilled to perfection, topped with fresh berries, served with powdered sugar and vanilla bean sauce. REMINDER: THEY DO NOT HAVE SYRUP IN-HOUSE. THE VANILLA SAUCE SERVED WITH THIS DISH IS ALL THEY CAN OFFER. This is their most popular dish and I come here it. It's also great to share since its 8 pieces with 2 of the vanilla bean sauce, which I felt was more bland than I remember. I like that there's chopped strawberries and blueberries and its just overall amazing. Get it. FLORENTINE BENEDICT - $16.95 Poached eggs, english muffin, spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, hollandaise, and grilled potatoes. I love that this also has sun-dried tomatoes. The potatoes were cut in small pieces which meant there were more crispiness! This dish looked really lovely too. I enjoyed this! BJC GINGER SHOT - $4.75 Fresh Squeezed Ginger and Lemon Juice garnished with Cayenne Pepper. You can get this for free when you check in on yelp! I liked how this didn't feel like it punched me int he throat. It was quite tasty!

Today is Monday, May 19. The cook in the morning sucks at Blu Jam Cafe. The food was cold and had no flavor. It tasted like leftover food was served and It wasn't freshly made to order. What kind scam is this, I had to pay and tip before getting my food. I do not recommend Blu Jam Cafe and will never be stepping into any again. The only reason I decided to go was because it was close to home and I had previously been to the Melrose location and was not disappointed. But thanks to the service at the Glendale location, Never again.

I Have dine and placed take out at this place many times. I even celebrated my bday here A few times. It's delicious food. However, it saddens me to know they cook with toxic, cancerous, and inflammatory seed oils. If they cared about their clients' health they would only cook with olive oil n not mix with seed oils. Unlikely to eat here again. My health it's more important. Please consider eliminating seeds oil, so my family and I can continue being devoted clients. Thank you.

Ordered 2 eggwhiches with potatoes as the side. it never occurred to me why places don't serve breakfast sandwiches with lettuce and tomato or why a croissant or bagel is the common bread choice for them either. I get it now! You use a bread with more omph because otherwise there's not much going on or at least not much that someone can't just make at home. Which is exactly how I felt when I bit into the sandwhich. Sure there's a chipotle aoli but it didn't contribute enough to justify how greasy it made it. The lettuce here is really at the forefront texturally and even flavor wise, don't get me wrong it's good lettuce but it's not what I look forward to in an egg sandwich. It's also just not a good combinaton. The potatoes are cooked so well but the only flavor I really got from it was a piece of parsley I bit into. Overall really disappointing which is a shame because it's all prepared so beautifully. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but how do you mess up egg sandwich and potatoes? (Ordered on Postmates)

The food here is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. I love everything about this place! The vibe is really welcoming, and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. I can't wait to come back ;)

Fantastic experience! The staff delivers the kind of exceptional service that keeps you coming back. Their lattes are spot on, and the food is absolutely delicious.

Between the beautifully clear, blue skies and warm weather and a brunch trip out to this Blu Jam cafe, my friend and I started our LA adventure weekend on a strong foot. Compared to the other Blu Jam cafes I've visited, this location has a more self sufficient setup as you can either order ahead at the counter or via their mobile site. Your order of then delivered by a courteous server when it's ready. I particularly like their self service shelf in the corner. Grab all the napkins, utensils, sauce containers, take-out boxes, crayons, etc. that you need without having to wait for a busy server. There is a series of tables along their outside wall for outdoor seating as well as a spacious indoor dining room. 4/5 - For drinks, we went for their Strawberry Mint Lemonade ($5.50). It's a refreshing combination of sweet strawberries, cool mint, and slightly citrusy and tart lemonade. *Don't forget, you can get complimentary BJC Ginger Shot for your entire party with a Yelp check-in. This shot will definitely cleanse and warm your body and palate with a potent combination of ginger, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. I had nearly the same reaction as Doc Brown, in Back to the Future III, after he had the bartender's "wake up juice" poured down his gullet. 4/5 - Mmmm, I really enjoyed their Eggwich ($15.95). Between two pieces of toast is a stack of creamy scrambled eggs, crunchy bacon, fresh avocados and tomatoes and lettuce, melted cheddar, and a spread of Chipotle aioli. I got mine with a side of grilled potatoes. Each bite was as gratifying as the last. 4.5/5 - Of course, we had to share a plate of their signature Crunchy French Toast ($15.95). Nothing beats that moment when your taste buds meets that mixture of battered French brioche, with its outer coating of crunchy cornflakes and powdered sugar, which is dipped generously in that addictive vanilla bean sauce.

We ate here today and I'm happy I chose the right brunch place. I'm glad I ordered the Spicy Vegan Tex Mex Tofu Hash because I liked how the combination of beans, tofu, scrambled egg, tomatoes, and potatoes came to produce such a savory dish. I truly enjoyed it! What made it special was the iced vanilla latte for how my coffee was strong based on my request (additional 0.95) for an extra espresso shot. I don't know but it felt like it's been a long while since I had a well-curated iced coffee. On the other hand, my husband found the Shakshuka to be overwhelming because of the plentiful tomatoes in it. The service was swift and the staff were accommodating. It's a nice place in Atwater Village and is close to everything.

Service and ambiance deserve a 5. For me, the food was a miss, but my friend gave her food a 5. She had the French toast which is their star item. I liked that it was crispy (corn flakes crust) and not soggy. But I didn't think it had a lot of great flavor, nor did the sauce that came with it. I ordered the mushroom and potato soup, but it was just chopped up mushrooms, almost like a tapenade consistency. The flavor was great though, and tell me why I loved the bread they served it with lol! I ordered the chai knowing it was a pre made powder and not freshly brewed, and it was what it was. Friend ordered coffee and said it was good - an Americana, no brewed coffee in pots. The place was a vibe on a Sat around 1:30pm, steadily busy. The staff was super nice, answered all our questions, etc. I probably wouldn't come back, but recommend it for a try if you're in that 'hood. :)

Enjoyed brunch here a few weeks ago with some friends! The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting and allowed us to catch up comfortably. The food was excellent in terms of quality and selection. We shared plates of shakshuka and french toast, both of which were well seasoned and delicious. I really enjoyed the matcha latte I chose to go with my meal - not too sweet and rich in matcha flavor. Service was fast and attentive - it was impressive that we never needed to flag down our server for water or attention. Overall - solid brunch spot for the area and definitely worth checking out!

Food was good but so overpriced. I see other reviews referencing this and it's very true. I did a Benedict with avocado added...and I kid you not, I think it was the paste from Starbucks (see picture for reference)...for $4.00... ...$7.00 for a cup of orange juice. Maybe I'm just not used to eating out in LA, but damn. On a better note, the barista was very kind to us and my chai latte was amazing (sorry I didn't grab her name, but points to her).

The cornflake french toast was delicious! The outer crust was coated with the perfect amount of cornflakes which gave it a nice crunch and the center was still soft and yummy. The juevos ranchero and eggs benedict were nice savory options. This place is a semi-self service restaurant so you can place your orders at the register or directly from your table via QR code. We opted for the latter. We were surprised to be seated immediately because there was a farmers' market happening outside. Staff was helpful and courteous.

Easy to order via QR code at your table. We always order the French pressed coffee (husband's favorite) and Chai Latte. The Blu Jam Benedict is an all time favorite. The potatoes are crispy and delicious. You can park for free in the lot behind the parking lot. Note: parking lot is not available on Sunday mornings..it's used for the Atwater Village farmers market. Lovely jazz music playing at all times. A must visit!

The buy one get one free from Uber eats was an opportunity to try the breakfast burrito. They were good, with enough egg and black beans...the only thing was it needed more side sauce and utensils for the potatoes.
