First time at Java and Jam, yesterday I saw it on Yelp as recommended as one of the top 100 for breakfast and brunch, so today I came to try it.
The place is a more modern diner but with all the style of a diner, dinner plates, cups and dinner style.
Is a big place.
The service is like a diner, they throw the food at you, they don't serve you, they don't serve you.
My husband and I went to have breakfast. We started with two coffees, the regular one and I had a cappuccino. They brought him the regular one and after 10 minutes they finally brought me the supposed cappuccino which was a coffee with milk almost without foam and which was iced and super strong. I asked for hot milk so I could heat it up and make it a little lighter. He took it away and brought me another one just as dark and barely warmer. Undrinkable, so I left it full.
For breakfast we ordered avocado toast and a cheddar biscuit. The cheddar biscuit was ok, the avocado toast as you can see in the photos was on a regular piece of toast, the bread was all soft and super spicy! Clearly everything was left untouched, and only a quarter of what was tasted was left there.
The waitress took away the plates, she never asked if I wanted a to-go box or why I had left all the avocado and eggs included. The manager walked by seeing that all the food was in the plastic and no one asked if everything was okay. The waitress only approached with the bill and when she gave us the iPad for the tip, she looked at us and stayed there, she was never there at any other time. And by the way, the food took more than 30" in the kitchen, the place being quite empty since they had a couple of tables outside but it was empty inside.
And, the prices are quite high for the service and the food they serve! $16 for a chicken toast served like this is incredible!
