this place is NOT vegan-friendy, they are only trying to get that market to go there by putting things on their menu. We got brunch there and had the tofu scramble which was killer until one of us took a bite with f*kin meat in it. It was pretty repulsive. We told our waitress whose response was “oh, that’s the hazards of a shared grill” and fake smile and nothing else. No offer to comp it, no offer to have a new one made maybe in a different pan, nothing. So if you think its vegan friendly, your kinda kidding yourself.

Jam on Hawthorne is included in the 2008 Entertainment Book – not sure why, since the place was hopping at 10am on Saturday, Dec. 15. The vegan tofu scramble had more flavor than most tofu scrambles I’ve had in restaurants, and I was offered soy marg when I ordered my toast dry. Very nice! I was with two young and VERY picky (non-veggie) kids, one of whom enjoyed the kids French toast (cinnamon and frosting!), and the other who scarfed down the lemon ricotta pancakes (we panicked when we were told Jam doesn’t make plain pancakes, because this little boy is P-I-C-K-Y, but the waitress told us the flavor is mild, and we didn’t tell the little guy they were different, and he didn’t seem to realize it either. Phew!) I’m guessing the coffee was Stumptown, even though the E-Book said they serve Shrimptown Coffee. WTF?! LOL Also, service was ery attentive (though not ’til we were seated, and we didn’t realize right away there was a waiting list, since no one seemed to notice a tall man with 2 small children standing inside the restaurant (note: there’s no real space for standing inside, though once on the waiting list, we got to sit on a small bench immediately next to the single, unisex restroom – classy). I give this 4 for food, 2.5 for vegan-friendly (not many diverse/interesting choices), 4 for service (MUCH better – nicer, faster, knowledgeable than Vita Cafe), and 2 for ambiance.

(BTW – found the Stumptown Vegans site by Googling to see if Jam on Hawthorne has a website – I don’t know yet, since this site came up early in results and intrigued me.) Go veggie!
