Jam Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
One of our favourite brunch spots, highly recommend this place, try the French toast and/or the eggs Benedict, also be prepared to line up as it's always very busy
I love Jam Cafe! My favourite place for Brunch! The Cinnamon Bun pancakes are so good and huge! The French Toast Sticks were so fluffy and soft. Charlie Bowl was delicious as well. Super good and I wish I could have them every day!
Had a wonderful experience at Jam Cafe in Victoria! The breakfast was absolutely amazing, generous serving sizes, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. The coffee was excellent too, rich and satisfying. Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. A perfect spot to kickstart your day, highly recommended!
Good luck finding a better brunch spot. Jam is the king of brunch, always delicious and perfect. Only problem is waiting in line! Love it here and always have.
Come on a very empty stomach. It will be very hard to pick just one dish! We ordered the Cracker Jack French Toast and the Fried Chicken French Toast with a side of crispy pork belly! Skip the coffee, look for Habitat Coffee nearby instead for your cup of java.
After an amazing day and night at the Victoria Whisky Festival, my wife and I got up Sunday morning and wanted to experience the local Sunday breakfast vibe and Jam Cafe came highly recommended as the place to go. We arrived at around 10 AM and there was a decent line but it turned out we only had to wait a few minutes as there was only two of us and everyone in front of us were part of bigger groups. We were seated at a table for two but the bar looked great as well. We both agreed that next time we’d easily sit there if no tables are available. Honestly, we didn’t see anywhere where we wouldn’t have wanted to sit. The vibe is super relax and comfortable. No one’s in a rush, everyone’s simply enjoying the great food, company and environment. I do want to single out the music, 80s rock, it was fantastic. Although we’re both in our 50s and found ourselves tapping to the music throughout our entire breakfast, it looked as if everyone else - from young to old - had the same feel good vibes. The service is excellent. They are busy but at no time did we feel a lack of service or attention. The food, well, you’ll just have to try it yourself. Suffice to say, we’re coming back again the next time we’re in Victoria. We also just found out that there’s a new location that just opened up on Lonsdale in North Vancouver. It’s already on our list to go to!
Great place for brunch. Waiting for less than 10 minutes and had our food served within 10 minutes. Delicious and great value, lots of menu options. Coffee was excellent.
Amazing food and vibe. We had the Huevos rancheros and Nashville hot chicken Benedict. Extremely tasty and good portion. Highly recommended!
