Charming chef-driven brunch spot with standout avocado toasts, quiche, and zeppoles; warm hospitality and small portions at moderate-to-high SF pricing.
That's My Jam delivers exceptional food quality with chef-driven brunch dishes and warm, attentive service that creates genuine hospitality. Thoughtful design and a charming parklet enhance the experience, though compact seating and occasional service delays prevent grade A territory. Strong execution and loyal following make it a solid neighborhood favorite, competitive with the area's better brunch destinations.
A cozy neighborhood cafe where the chef and owner work the room, the space feels warm and welcoming with flowers, woodwork, and a thoughtful parklet on bustling Divis. Guests rave that plates arrive like little celebrations and that staff are genuinely attentive. One diner put it simply: "I felt like I was visiting old friends." The cooking leans Californian brunch with elevated comfort: house-made ricotta, carefully sourced salmon, and playful desserts like zeppoles. Expect refined flavors and chefly touches rather than giant diner plates; portions skew Euro-style. If you value ingredient quality and presentation, this place shines; if you need big portions, plan to order more. For families, the menu has kid-approachable options like grilled cheese, croissant sandwiches, biscuits with jam, and doughnuts, plus milder avocado toasts. There is no formal kids menu, seating is compact, and portions run small, but the friendly team and familiar flavors make it workable for brunch with children.
