Java & Jam

Let me start by saying this: TikTok did NOT lie. We were told to go to Java Jam, and for once, the algorithm actually cared about our happiness. I pulled up with my family of six, and from the jump this place understood the assignment. The plates are MASSIVE—like “did we accidentally order for the table next to us too?” massive. The quality of the food is outrageous. Dear Lord… every single bite was hitting. I think I sampled everyone else’s plate except my own— just kidding, I destroyed mine too. 😅 Now let’s talk vibes. The location? Elite. The aesthetic? Chef’s kiss. Sitting outside on Las Olas Blvd, downtown Fort Lauderdale as your backdrop, people strolling by, sunshine doing its thing—this is main-character energy breakfast/brunch. Beautiful, relaxed, and somehow still buzzing. And

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!

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

Such a cozy spot, perfect for hanging out. It was our first time here and we loved it. The food was delicious and the service was great. Maja was super nice and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my last brunch spot on my itinerary before I head home to Atlanta, and I am so glad I stopped by. The food was delicious and their fall coffee menu was yummmm. Joe was my server and he made the experience so warm and wholesome. I had the salmon bagel plate and it was delicious. Whenever I come back, I’m coming to see you Joe and visit the places you recommend!
