Review Jam Cafe - Victoria

We had brunch on their patio on a chilly day. They offer blankets for those who might feel a bit icy. Food and services were great! The portions are huge, so you’ll be stuffed! I wish they offer smaller size options, but I have 0 complaints! The interior decor is fairly hip! They also have several options for the kids menu! We got there at 10:30 on a Monday, and the line was huge. Prepare to wait, but I think it’s definitely worth the wait!

The wait is worth it! Expect to be waiting around 30mins if you're going during a peak hour. If you can handle the wait time you won't be disappointed! The host and waitress were friendly & polite, the food was delicious and fresh. Will gladly stop by again.

This is a very special place. Amazing food, fresh, homemade and good quantity. The taste of the eggs sweet bacon and pancakes was delicious. Probably one of the best breakfast I have ever had. Latte could be a little bit better but it is good enough. We went two days and very early since it gets busy very soon. The line goes fast though.

The line up looked long but we got in relatively quick. Had a chance to talk to couple families while waiting in line. The server was friendly. We enjoyed the lattes, the pork belly benny, the smoked salmon benny, waffles and french toasts. Food were delicious and everyone were full.

Spectacular place went for breakfast and i really want to go back again tomorrow. I was there before 9 and only 4 people in line,got lucky,place was full already,got a table very quick. Staff was helpful and very nice. Food was delicious,really nice presentation,portions are big. By the time we were eating there was already a long line,apparently it moves fast,so i think it totally worth the wait,love it

Get ready for the hyperbole that isn't. The Blackstone Benny was by far the best eggs Benedict I have ever had. The bacon alone is worth 5 stars. The service was top notch and it's fun to just look around in this restaurant. Go and you will see what I mean.

Fun spot to enjoy a great cup of your choice! I had a monkey rum rum and the Harrison Hash. (I recommend both) My partner had the avocado benny. Very happy with the great service and the awesome decor to keep us entertained.

A cute breakfast option tucked away on sleepy Herald St. Servers are amazing and friendly. Food is tasty. I wish the portions were a little more significant for the price you pay. Overall, would recommend if you’re in town for a stroll near historic Chinatown.

Great food! Huge sizes! We tried different things pork belly eggs Benedict, veggie bowl and french toast and they were all awesome! Eggs Benedict are great and big for one person, but I would say bowls are for two, they're huge! French toast is a mots I would say, we tried the apple one and it was unbelievable! The waiting times are a bit long but I would say they are worth it. It would be better if you could write your name down and come back, but still is good. Buttermilk biscuits are very good and special too. Definitely a great place for breakfast/brunch!

Scrumptious brekfy! We visited the Victoria Chinatown location. Although the line-up was long, it moved quickly, and I think that is due to the fact that the staff hustles to get the tables cleaned right away to get you seated promptly. The food was excellent. My wife had the pork belly eggs Benedict, and I had the harrison hash. Both were scrumptious and a good portion. The coffee was also tasty. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and despite having a very busy day, we did not at any point feel rushed.

We arrived at 9am on a Wednesday morning and there was a line up already. We didn't wait long for a table. Love the vibe in the restaurant. Food is delicious. Biscuit is crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. Definitely go for the biscuit.

The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. A big shout-out to the team for turning our day around. Highly recommend Jam Cafe for a positive dining experience!

Great breakfast place I got waffles and sausage patties. So good. Everything our table got was delicious as were the drinks. Very popular there were about 10 ppl in line ahead of us but we only waited about 15 minutes. We sat outside, they had blankets for the customers to put on their laps. I thought that was so thoughtful. Would definitely go back if in the area.

First time visit. Food great with a southern flare with chicken and waffles on the menu. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating. I had the tater bowl with franks sauce on the side. Expect a line up to go in. Coffee so-so with no top ups and service friendly but slow. Do not expect a classic eggs and toast canadian breakfast. Lots of great savory dishes and eggs bendict on the menu. Overall i would visit again to try more!

I LOVE their pancakes, their bowls are great too! Jam is a breakfast fave amongst my friends and I. Only downside is the restaurant is small, tables are close together, and you almost always have to line up for a long tome to get a table. If you have the time, I do really recommend it because it’s worth it.
Carmen Peters
Worth stopping here for lots of breakfast item variations. Service was great and food was good. Glad we had our breakfast here.

Sweet, Savory, and JAMMIN. I'll leave now lol. Quite the busy place at 1000 on a Friday. It was at capacity when we arrived but quickly seated us inside. There is also outside seating. You know it's serious when they have a lineup area taped off! The service is amazing, the servers are aesthetic, the food is delicious, and the drink I had was pleasant. Overall a fantastic experience despite how busy it was. Feels like they have their wits about them and are very experienced with a busy workload. Did not feel understaffed at all! However many employees on the clock did really well for how filled seats there were. Very impressed all around and would love to go back. Strawberry French Toast, salmon eggs Benedict, LYCHEE MIMOSA, coffee. And from what my party tells me, their jam is wonderful!

Funky interior with a bunch of vintage pieces. I got the Korean chicken eggs Benny special which blew my mind. Boyfriend got chicken Benny with an addition of avocado. Entirely worth the line up every time. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for brunch
Rowan Lalonde
Amazing!!!! We arrived early to avoid the line, but it would have been worth the wait. Chicken and French toast was amazing! So much flavour and so stuffed!
Danielle Parado
Yum! This place is great! Amazing food, fun decor and friendly staff. How the line works..... just get in line. You don’t put your name in first. They will periodically come out to find out how many are in your group and seat you when tables come up. On a Saturday, we arrived close to 10 am and we waited about 30 minutes, (party of 2) The food is worth the wait. Just be patient. I got the buttermilk biscuit sandwich. Best biscuit I have ever had. And the tomato jam is amazing and brings this breakfast sandwich to a new level. So good I got extra. Went back the following Monday right at opening (8 am) and there wasn’t a wait. Fresh squeezed orange juice too!

Green eggs and ham was the best breakfast I've probably ever had! The bacon is to die for, the blood orange mimosa is great, it's all great! Worth the wait in line.
Janelle Nichol
Stopped there on a wednesday and had to wait only about 15-20 minutes. So worth it! One of the specials was the specialty brioche French toast with caramelized apples and bacon. The best brunch/breakfast dish I have ever had. I can't even say how amazing it was.

Four of us had breakfast here. The food was great - amazing flavors, interesting blends spices and flavors. The servers were all very friendly, and the atmosphere is interesting (love the wall art). It is small, very busy, and noisy, but well worth the wait if you have to stand in line for a few minutes.
Ken Murphy
Arrive early. There will be a line. And for good reason! They food is fantastic. The Charlie Bowl did not disappoint. So savory. Great atmosphere. Cool, chill, friendly staff. A gem of Victoria.
Eddy Howard
Definitely the best breakfast we have had in a very long time. The food was outstanding, and the service was great. It’s no wonder Jam Cafe won Victoria’s best in city awards for many years. Thanks for the delicious experience!
Vanessa Lowther-Davis
The staff here are amazing. Especially the bartender, she was very welcoming and made fantastic drinks. My son enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate and I enjoyed a yummy delicious cesar (it had bacon in it). The food was delicious as well. We will be back for our amazing breakfast. Fyi get there early otherwise your waiting outside.
Elizabeth Lange
Great place to have a nice BIG breakfast! A must go to. Kind, fun staff and delicious food. I had the red velvet pancakes and my husband had the cinnamon apple waffles the first day and our second day we decided to split an omelette, all so good! Get there early before the lines!
Michelle Dempsey
Just had our first breakfast here & we were not disappointed!!! The strawberry Lemonade was so delicious & such a large glass full! We had such a difficult time deciding on what to have, so many great choices. Our meals were incredible, & our waitress was very helpful & kind. Thank-you Jam for an incredible meal. We will be back before heading home!!!
Jess Brady
My lovely server, Carina (I think, sorry if I got that wrong), behind the bar was amazing! She was so kind in helping me beat my hangover! The food was unreal. Totally worth the wait and the $$.
Ashlee Nicole
Jam is my ABSOLUTE favourite brunch spot! I love introducing people to this gem. At first I thought people were crazy waiting in line outside, but once I ate there I realized it is SO worth the wait. They have so many delicious options, daily features and boozy coffees and cocktails. The Blackstone Benny, with sugar cured bacon, and Bourbonator Caesar are my go-tos!
Claude Ross
The wait staff is awesome very trendy not over Priced good food great atmosphere. A must.
Helen Taylor
We went to Canada (from the UK) in 2016. We went to Jam on our 1st morning & we've never had a breakfast as good since. We're heading back to Canada this summer - we were struggling to decide between a few destinations but Canada won - partially because of Jam! Can't wait to see you again!
Hannie Hagley
It was difficult to decide what to eat as the menu was amazing. Loved my meal! Loved our server! Looking forward to going back.
Aricia Rosalee
So good! Jam is the perfect sunday morning brunch stop if you don't mind the crowds of people all hoping theirs will be the next eggs benny. Bonus points for deep fried pickles!
Nicole Wells Oeser
Did not disappoint! Yummy food, great service and cool atmosphere. Just go.
