Jam is such a lovely addition to the Parkside neighborhood! lovely coffee shop with delicious coffee and desserts … the perfect getaway when you need a respite from everything. The staff are friendly, service is excellent, and the place is an absolute gem! Keep up the good work!

Jam is a great, family friendly spot to get delicious drinks and pastries. They regularly have GF options, which I always appreciate. It's always nice to see families hanging out in the space.

I've never understood the hype. It's the only coffee shop in the neighborhood so I'm a patron, but nothing's great. Pastries are hit or miss and there's not much food to choose from. Don't bother calling to ask if they're sold out of something because no one answers and it's frustrating that there's no way to order ahead.

This place is just fine. Seems like “baristas” can’t make a good espresso drink. It’s always been a cool location, but the coffee has gone downhill. Staff is hit or miss and the last time I was in I waited 15 minutes plus for a cappuccino and hot chocolate with 4 people working and only a pair of drinks ahead of me. Staff was super inattentive to everything but their own conversation. You want your coffee shop to be good with the details or why would we go. I am sure I will be back because of where it is, but I will likely hold off on the tip next time.

Best neighborhood cafe around! Regular rotating pastries that are very delicious and seasonal drinks as well! Some gluten free or vegetarian/vegan options!! The staff are the most kind and wonderful folks you'll meet :)

Every neighborhood needs a little corner café like this. It’s family-friendly and showcases local artists. The seasonal drinks are always fun, and I’m obsessed with the energy balls.

Inconsistent. I got the best fall latte Ive ever had to the worst latte i have ever had in the same week. The second time was during a rush so i waited 15 minutes for a hot latte that wasn't mixed up and luke warm.

The best blueberry muffins in town. Excellent coffee, of course.

New Butter Caramel tastes pretty bad— wasn’t getting any notes of either, tasted burnt and left a pretty bad aftertaste.

Otherwise I have typically enjoyed their caramel lattes

I don't know why it has taken me so long to leave a review. I have been coming to JAM for years as I live in the neighborhood. Everything from the food, service, and atmosphere screams artsy and kind Buffalo. I love the different seasonal flavors they try and baked goods, but even just a plain latte or cup of coffee is great. Their staff are always kind, welcoming, and quick even during busy days. I am pretty much a weekly patron of JAM for the last nearly 5 years and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

Stopped by after visiting the Martin House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that’s a few blocks away. Drip coffee waa served in a mug and freshly brewed for me. My wife and I ordered a blueberry maple cinnamon scone that lacked the scone texture we expected but was sweet. We also ordered a cinnamon knot that was not fully baked.
