Crema's Take

The MCJAM—a rich, savory-sweet creation served on a French toast bun—is reason enough to brave the wait, though the inventive signature dishes and playful graffiti-filled atmosphere make Eggs and Jam worth it whether you're fueling up solo or lingering over breakfast with friends. Skip the overly sweet specials and stick to their core menu items like their fluffy pancakes and waffles, which consistently nail the basics while the creative cocktails and full bar elevate it beyond typical Des Moines breakfast spots. Come for the original vibe and food, stay for the fun crowd and hip-hop soundtrack.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

It’s the atmosphere you come for! I do enjoy coming here and is fun spot for breakfast- enjoy the wait- the food is average with some items being great like waffles or pancakes! Overall nice stop during the week but the weekend it is packed.
