Blu Jam Café

Blu Jam Café on Melrose: A Brunch Paradise!Blu Jam Café on Melrose is like a dream-come-true brunch heaven in Los Angeles. My latest visit to this cozy yet bubbly spot reestablished the cafe's reputation as one of the best places to have breakfast in LA.Food: 5 out of 5Every dish that we had tried was delightful. The Crunchy French Toast is sublime-it was perfectly crispened outside whilst remaining soft and luscious inside with just the perfect touch of syrup to compliment the flavours within. My wife had the Eggs Benedict; perfectly poached eggs on a crisp toast English muffin, with a satin hollandaise dressing. The flavours melded so immaculately; each bite tasted better than the first. She also had the Breakfast Sandwich, and it was so good. The sandwich was stuffed with eggs that had flavor, cheese, and upscale ham; it sure was filling and delicious.Service: 5 out of 5And the service is as remarkable as the food at the Blu Jam Café. From the very minute you walk in, the staff is warm and inviting. Our server was attentive without being pushy; he gave a few suggestions and made sure our cups of coffee were never empty. The positive attitude of all the staff only added to the whole experience.Ambiance: 5 out of 5The Blu Jam Café's ambiance adds to the charm of the cafe. It has contemporary yet cozy decor with an artistic touch serving the Melrose flavor. The place was buzzing and inviting, not only for breakfast, but also for brunch with your special someone or a family outing. Overall Experience (5/5):The Blu Jam Café on Melrose is a top brunch spot to check out in LA. A platter of heavenly food and outstanding service in a delightful locale, an altogether wonderful dining experience that leaves you planning your next return as you walk out. For eggs benedict and pancakes made to perfection, look no further than Blu Jam Café-it is simply a five-star experience.

Not my jam. That is an interesting place. You come in to a "please wait to be seated" sign. You're taking to a table and told to scan the QR code to see the menu and order. Or you can look at a regular menu and go back up front to order. We were brought a room temperature bottle of water with lemon and herbs in it. No thank you. Just ice water. We asked for plain ice water. At the end of ordering, you'll be asked to tip. I find giving a tip interesting since I did all of the work and all staff did was tell us we could pick a table "over there" before explaining that we'll be doing everything. Coffee is 8 or 9 dollars for the French press thing. I don't mind that but when a restaurant has cafe in their name I expected a good old fashioned cup of coffee. Eventually the mocha we ordered came and it seemed room temperature too. Asked again for regular ice water. Got another room temperature bottle. Said no. Just regular ice water. With ice and no lemon or weeds/herbs in it. A few minutes later another bottle arrived with nothing in it. The food came. Asked for ice water again (and gave up after that) My son said his French toast was soggy inside. I didn't believe him because reviews were good on that. I tried it and yep. Icky soggy. My wife's crêpes were hot and good. My eggs Benedict was ok. It was warm instead of hot and there was not much hollandaise sauce, so it was kind of dry. On the good side and the reason for the 2 stars, the decor was pretty cool and the staff were nice. I'm a never say never guy but I will say that I'll resist going back for a while.

OMG ! The breakfast sandwich is a must! Chipotle aioli, bacon, lettuce, cheese, and avocado? Whewwww!!! It was also served with a side of potatoes. Everything was seasoned well and served pretty hot for a to go order! Highly recommend this sandwich if you're in the area! Even if you're not, UBER EATS the meal! 5/5

Blu Jam Café is the perfect place for a ladies brunch, a catch up meeting, a casual yet delicious café where it feels safe and down to earth and you are surrounded by lovely people! I went to Blu Jam for a meeting with my girls and loved every bit of this experience. I'd been to the one in Studio City but it's always packed so there's usually a wait. I guess people around Melrose don't wake up as early so we had a fabulous table and the always great service at our disposal. We ordered the best things on the menu and omg, they did not disappoint. The soup was spectacular and my eggs. We're cooked to perfection. It was a lot of food so we ended up with doggie bags to enjoy later. Loved being there enjoying such great tasting brunch. Yum!We will definitively be back soon!

First I'd like to say I wish yelp gave you the option to give half stars because I would give them 3.5 not 3.The highlights first, the chilaquiles are so good, the chicken tinga flavor was delicious and I loved the serving size. I will say it's very wet so the chips were a little too soggy for liking but I got a side of chips and it was great. My wife ordered the Benedict's and she said they good! The French toast was okay in my opinion.Service is non-existent because you order from the QR code. And outside of the person who dropped by to give you water, drop drinks, and food absolutely no one came by to ask about our experience. I hated this personally! The restaurant interior is cute.

Great breakfast and Brunch Spot with so many options. A lot of options for vegans and vegetarians as well as a lot of Mexican inspired unique breakfast dishes.Staff was super friendly and helpful. You do not get a waiter everything is either ordered at the front when you walk in or at your table online through a QR code.Food is cooked with a lot of butter. I got the blt and the bread was coated in butter as well as the side potatoes were great but very buttery. I would order the BLT again no buttered bread.The rest aunt was great lots of area to sit indoor and outdoor. We went on a Saturday at 10am and did not need to make a reservation and lots of street parking options.I also got the iced pumpkin spice latte which was great but very milk heavy and the ginger shot was Absolutely amazing! I would have one every morning if I could.

Very cool little spot on Melrose. They definitely have an edgy menu. I had the burgundy omelette. It was decently flavored. I appreciated the tea selection. They have a lot of great menu options that I'd definitely try. The service was a little rude. That is why I gave 3 stars.

Not sure how I feel about this. The food is decent. It's consistent. Definitely not as great as it used to be. The whole process has changed now your seated you order from your table via their app or website or you walk up to the counter and order there. They have turned completely cashless, which I absolutely hate but they will take cash for tips lolAmbiance is pretty basic. They've definitely lost the magic touch.

Still great 13+ years later! We hadn't dined at Blue Jam in several years but we just went back yesterday and it was just as good as we remembered! We tried the lemon crepes (amazing) and had the burgundy omelet and crunchy French toast (which were two of our old favorites). Service was great and we also got a chance to meet the owner, who was a great guy to talk to. Definitely recommend!

Great food and ambience Would definitely recommend this one We will be back! Fun environment
