American breakfasts & lunches with vegan options, art-filled cafe
























"Portland, a city of brunch-lovers, has short-listed Jam as a desired destination for late mornings on the weekend, and it’s worth the wait to get in. In this funky, open space, they bring the goods. It’s hearty stuff, big breakfast scrambles, or hashbrowns with corned beef or smoked salmon. They don’t mess around with the Bloody Marys, either." - Kevin M. Fitzgerald

"This bustling cafe is a brunch stalwart, satisfying both vegan and omnivores. Available daily, the no-fuss menu includes standbys like brunch wraps, huevos rancheros, and French toast. In lieu of eggs and bacon, Jam on Hawthorne serves scrambled tofu and tempeh bacon on its generously sized vegan plates, which are best enjoyed with a side of sweet and fiery hot sauce. For drinks, diners can choose from an assortment of bloody marys and customizable mimosas. The spacious dining room is open, and there are plenty of outdoor tables; that being said, plan for a wait at this neighborhood hotspot." - Waz Wu

"A Hawthorne breakfast haunt, I’ve visited Jam on Hawthorne’s plaza on SE 23rd for plates of eggs Benedict and huevos rancheros; customers need to reserve a table for plaza seating, otherwise meals can be ordered to-go." - Alex Frane
