Java & Jam is a local coffeehouse on Las Olas that also serves all day breakfast. Although I don’t drink coffee, the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha drink featured outside is really what lured me in. The atmosphere was chill with both inside seating and a covered patio area.
I ordered the Tri Color Quinoa salad along with the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. When my drink was brought out, I could not wait to take the first sip. However, I found the matcha flavor to be light and the glass was filled with about 1/3 of ice. Also, my drink was not garnished with the chocolate bar as depicted and when I enquired, I was told by Kelly (our server) that they were out of garnish. Also note that there is an upcharge for alternate milks (oat, coconut & soy).
My salad was brought out promptly (15 mins) and it looked great and tasted even better. This mediterranean inspired combination of lettuce, cucumbers, chick peas and feta cheese dressed with a cilantro and tahini combination was truly delightful. It was fresh and refreshing at the same time.
Overall, Java & Jam is a great niche find on Las Olas, especially if you’re craving breakfast foods after the usual breakfast hours.

I had an awesome experience at Java & Jam, and a huge part of that was thanks to Anna, who is easily one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. From the moment she greeted us, she was warm, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of energy you want at a breakfast spot.
She was on point with everything: quick refills, great recommendations, and perfect timing without ever hovering. She managed to be attentive, friendly, and efficient all at once, even with a busy room. You can tell she takes pride in her job and really cares about giving guests a great experience.
The food was solid, but Anna’s service is what made the visit memorable. If you’re stopping by Java & Jam, ask for her — she’s the one who turns a good breakfast into a great one.

Always consistent food and service. Great breakfast and brunch spot on las olas with indoor and outdoor seating. Food is fresh, patio is dog friendly. Parking is paid street or valet parking. This is a local favorite. It does get busy on the weekends so reservation is recommended.

Breakfast was great. Had a custom omelet with toast, and a fruit cup. The food was delicious and the toast came with homemade jam. We were seated right away in the covered outdoor patio. The food arrived very quickly and the waiter was attentive. Had street parking right in front of the cafe at 11 am.

This place is basically the Fort Lauderdale version of “Great White.”
If you’re a person of color, expect to be seated out of the way — in the back near the bathrooms. When we first arrived, they tried to put us there with the other group of brown guests, but we asked to be moved. The hostess seemed annoyed but eventually seated us elsewhere.
Service was painfully slow, and our food and drinks came out cold. What really sealed it for me was seeing the next two groups of brown guests seated in that same awful spot near the kitchen/bathrooms. This place was the pits.
And if you’re a POC take your business elsewhere or risk being seating in the section of despair.. Booo

This place was pretty great! We found this place to eat at after getting off the cruise ship on Saturday morning. The food was amazing and I loved the downtown Ft Lauderdale setting! They had a walk in coffee bar and a restaurant which was pretty cool. You should definitely try this place if you are feeling breakfast in the Ft Lauderdale area!
