In Short
The dining room of this neighborhood eatery features jewel-toned walls hung with spirited jazz posters and a wide-open kitchen. Locals kick back with the Sunday funnies and meander through serious scrambles and mouthwatering sweets. The Nor'wester scramble is a lively mix of cream cheese, smoked salmon, chives and juicy tomatoes. But the real star is the tender lemon ricotta pancakes drizzled with a warm blueberry sauce.

I love the Jam. I especially love how you can order tofu instead of scrambled eggs, even though I'm not vegan. Their breakfasts are hearty and their homemade jam is delicious!

Stopped into Jam on Hawthorne for a quick and light lunch during a work week lunch break, only to become disappointed over and over! Lovely, bright cafe with art covering the walls but when we sat and realized we had been passed many times for a little less that 10 min. without acknowledgement until we finally received our waters. No apology, the waitress took our order and well over 30 min (keeping in mind less that half the tables were seated) we received our incorrect order. Not sure if it had anything to do with our server sitting down with her boyfriend at the table next to us?? Actually got a grilled cheese that was not cooked (after a 30 min wait)

This is the only place I know where you can eat a good breakfast at 1:30 pm on a weekday! There are times when you just want breakfast, and you don?t want to make it yourself. If you are in the Southeast, Jam is the place to go. This was the second time I have eaten there, the first was on a Sunday, and the wait time was considerable. Jam has a good selection of breakfast fare, including vegetarian options. I had two scrambled eggs, apple chicken sausage, hash browns, and an English muffin. This is a very basic breakfast, but they do have other more interesting options, however, I do not eat this kind of breakfast often, so it was a special treat. The hash browns were a bit too crisp for me, but still very good and not pasty or starchy like some I have had. The eggs were very fresh and not runny or dry. The sausage was great, I believe it is nitrate free and probably organic. At any rate, I didn?t get a headache after eating it (nitrates bother me). The waitress was attentive and not snooty or hovering. The entree I had was around eight dollars, and it was a full plate. In fact, my companion could not finish hers. If you go on a Sunday, get there before 9:30 or 10:00 if you are starving, it is a popular place and the wait can be long on Sundays.
