Crema's Take
“Jam On Hawthorne is a brunch destination that takes breakfast seriously, with house-made jams, boldly seasoned dishes like Kimchi Hash and Huevos Rancheros, and coffee that actually stands up to the food. The Hawthorne location has become Portland's reliable weekend anchor with local art on the walls and a lively crowd that justifies the wait, though portions are modest and prices reflect the care put into each plate. If you're willing to linger over a leisurely breakfast and don't mind paying for quality ingredients and technique, this is worth the trip.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Bit pricey especially for the small portions, but food was pretty good! Be prepared for a wait, we came at 1pm on a sunday and waited around 30 minutes. The homemade jam was delicious. Got the hash brown Bennie and kale and shiitake Benedict. Service is great and ambience is…
Came here for a little solo brunch last week and it was so delicious. I've been comparing basic breakfast plates around Portland and this one was the most expensive I'd had so far at $15.50, but it was high quality and eggs cooked perfectly over medium as requested. I will say,…
