Spending the day in Vancouver in town from Houston, Texas.There is a fast moving line,the restaurant was very busy but for good reason because it was amazing. The staff is very welcoming and kind and the food coming out of the kitchen looks spectacular. Our coffee and breakfast was outstanding.Well worth the short wait the line. The line is there because it is great.Well done Team Jam Cafe!

We had read the reviews and decided to give it a go. There were three of us and the lady at the entrance said there would be a place after 10 minutes. For the next 30 minutes we watched as people usually groups of two were show to a table. The final straw was when a group of 4 who came in and were shown to a table. When asked the lady responded that it was hard to coordinate space for three people. But that’s their job! I can see why there are queues outside. Never going back and there are way better outlets in North Van like Catch 122.

I don’t like to write negative reviews, but this time I think Jam can make things a lot better at their Lonsdale location.

Unlike other branches, t North Vancouver is very much unorganized.
Our group of 4 adults and one 3 years old stayed more than an hour in line up although several other groups of 4 got their sits in less than 10 minutes max!
I even brought it up that our kid is staying in the cold for more than an hour and they didn't care less! Please note Their tables are not fixed and they could move them together.
They are definitely not family friendly and every much profit driven so they won't sit 5 people in a table for 6.
Our table waiter "Parham" was excellent and very friendly. The food was good quality as other branches.

Been to the Jam many times it's always been great food but... this was my first time at the north van Lonsdale location was very disappointed in the food. The first thing was I ordered a vanilla latte and it came lukewarm. I ordered the full monty pancakes with 2 eggs sunny side up.The pancakes were so dense I could barely swallow them and the egg whites were runny. Very sad because I have ordered this many times and the pancakes are usually light and fluffy. The bill was $32.92 with out the tip and I was alone. NOT WORTH IT !!

I got the friend chicken benny, and the whole dish, especially the chicken and hashbrown, was cold...definitely not made to order and probably microwaved since some parts were a bit warmer. I told the server, and they made me a new one. We also got the pork belly benny, which was OK. I'd had better ones before, so it's not the best. We also got the cinnamon bun pancakes that were good. I had acid refluxes the whole day, so that tells me something about food quality.
There were 2 servers who checked on us back to back and asked the exact same questions, so it was a bit confusing and just too many check-ins!
Overall, I think the food was overpriced and overrated. I don't think we got the best food or service; I assume it was because we got there around 2:15 on a Sunday so it felt like everyone (servers and cooks) was just ready to wrap up and go home...I would've preferred if they told us they can't serve us rather than providing low-quality service and food.
Ordered the Omelette and was looking forward to it but was a bit disappointed. The Omelette was a bit too runny and lacked a lot of taste. The portions were huge but not what I was expecting. My partner felt the same. We sat at the bar and the service was lackluster. Overall okay, but expensive for okay - we ended up paying just over $80 for breakfast without any alcohol.

Very generous portions, fast service , ample of parking in front .
I had heard good things about this place and went for brunch with a friend. I ordered the veggie breakfast bowl which, based on the written description, I had envisioned as a combination of crispy hashbrowns, biscuits, sauteed veggies and fried eggs topped with some mushroom gravy. Well the only discernible items were the eggs, the rest of the bowl was somehow made to be literal slop. I’m talking like a mushy hodgepodge of biscuit/hashbrowns/veggies/gravy all congealed into a textureless paste that was very unappealing. Like if you were to have thanksgiving dinner, and mixup the mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy into something your toothless granny could eat. At least the flavours were not terrible. But if I had wanted mush for breakfast I would have just ordered oatmeal instead.

Best brunch I had in Vancouver!
Amazing waffles, eggs Benedict dishs and super tasty hash browns.
Be aware that there’s usually a long queue but it’s worth it!
If I could, I would’ve come every week.
Highly recommended.
