Seven Blu Jam Cafes are in the Los Angeles area. NO CASH IS ACCEPTED. A credit or debit card must be used for payment. You are asked to give a tip before service is provided. On my many visits to BLU JAM CAFE I have found service to be excellent and have tipped accordingly. Blu Jam Cafe 's decor emulates the raw-brick ambience of a mid-century jazz club. Pictures, posters, and memorabilia of American jazz musicians are displayed. Blu Jam 's menu echoes this creative musicality. Popular cafe dishes are presented with lively twists. ¹ Both umbrella protected patio and indoor tables are offered. At this busy eatery, seating can take some time, especially on weekends. NO RESERVATIONS ARE ACCEPTED. Check in at the reception desk. When a table becomes available, a host notifies you in person or on your cell phone, then accompanies your party to the table. On our visit, the wait time estimate proved accurate. Open for breakfast and lunch, the Blu Jam Cafe holds occasional evening events that are announced on their web site. Little things make Blu Jam special. A room temperature water carafe, infused with leaves of fresh mint, is delivered by the server. If you prefer cold, ice will be supplied. Dark, rich Guatemala coffee is exclusively brewed in a French Press. The three cup carafe, brought to your table, is magnetique. Not wanting to lose a drop, I took half home in a paper take-a-way cup. Ordering is done at the reception desk, where payment is made. NO CASH IS ACCEPTED. Payment must be made from a debit or credit card. Your meal is delivered to your table. When asked, the knowledgeable hostess helped us make selections, by describing the ingredients, The kitchen uses meats that are antibiotic, nitrate, and hormone free. When possible, the vegetables are organic. I ordered Executive Chef Kamil Majer 's Tex-Mex Scramble. Thin slices of tofu are stir fried into bite sized chunks, with black beans, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, pico de gallo, cilantro, and chipotle peppers. Slices of cool avocado crown and minced onion top this generous, mildly spiced dish. Served with a folded stack of warm corn tortillas, the vegan, Tex-Mex Scramble is highly recommended. The French Toast with fresh blueberries is huge, beautiful and, according to my wife, delicious. She took half home. Our companions, Howard and Barbara, enjoyed their meals. Howard ordered an oversized burger and Barbara designed an omelette with her favorite ingredients. Howard finished his burger, Barbara took home some omelette and fresh fruit salad. Their plates are accompanied with thick, rich, house-made ketchup and/or jam. Two specialty beers are available on tap. They have also solved my pet peeve: LOUD DISTORTED MUSIC. Their background soundtrack is solid and listenable. Jazz club experience makes a difference. The manager, Marcel, stopped by to ask, Is everything ok? It was. The restrooms are located in the rear of the cafe. They are modern and spotless. The wonderful syncopated rhythms that accompany dinning also play in the restrooms. Everything is wheelchair accessible including free, 90 minute parking. No validation is necessary. Just scan the ticket you received, when you exit. A set of level two, no fee, charging stations are located, in the underground garage, along the north wall. Elevators and escalators are provided. ¹ I was told by one of the staff that this location was actually opened by McDonald 's, as an upscale test eatery. They spared no expense. The kitchen is a stainless steel wonder. Mac 's raw brick setting now serves as a background, for the Blue Jam Cafe.
Went to the one in Tarzana, the food is average and over priced, the service is cafeteria style you order on the counter and get a table, the service is terrible seems like they are understaffed, no friendly greeting when you walk in.
Hot matcha latte was cold chicken sausage also cold order and pay on your phone. Tip prior to any service. a breakfast cafe with no syrup? Overpriced
First time there and it was a good experience. There food is good and the quantity of food served is good. It's a little pricey but like I said before...for the amount of food served...it's worth the prices. We'll definitely be going back!
The Portions are small, I have been twice and both times I left still hungry. It's too expensive anyway, really expensive for what you receive for your money...so I won't be going there anymore. I sure do miss Marie Callander's Restaurant that was down the street. ;;
