The Jam Pantry

Nim’s Eggs!!! It was a work of art, I felt bad eating it: P
Be sure to come here early or be prepared to wait your turn outside (and it can be hot in summer or cold in winter).
The Green smoothie/​shake was delicious and refreshing especially after a long and hot hike.

Ordered ‘the whole pantry’ and a green smoothie for breaky and it was awesome. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Always busy, so noisy inside but a menu I can’t go past. The specials on the black board are my go to’s. I’m trying the brown sugar caramel milkshake today. Efficient staff, tables on the foot path outside too if you want to avoid the babble.

Amazing, incredible, delicious food! Have been twice now and it was brilliant both times. Truly fresh, gourmet, nutritious delights, with the big menu up on the boards varying according to what’s in season or what delectable treat they’ve got their hands on.
I admit that I’m not very adventurous and ordered the same thing from the print menu both times, but wow, my mouth waters just thinking about that BLT from heaven. I mean, bacon jam, really? You bet!
And unless you’re a huge eater, may I suggest a dessert to share? And if you’ve never tried roasted Jerusalem artichoke dripping in chocolate sauce and maple syrup then bad luck, you missed out! You’ll have to wait until it shows up again.
But be warned, this place is popular and there are not a lot of tables, and don’t think that an early lunch will get you in before the crowd because it won’t. It will be full of mums or dads with babies and toddlers sipping blissful coffees to ease their shattered nerves. I think I’ll try a later lunch next time ;-)

Ordered a special off the board which was $ 18. After waiting for order for 15 mins server changed the price to $ 21. Another server then walked around to advise those who ordered the meal that they would need to pay $ 21. This is unacceptable and never have I seen someone at a restaurant or retail store increase a price after someone has already ordered or picked up an item to pay for it. My first time to this café. It would have cost them $ 9 to honor the price for the 3 of us in the place who ordered that meal. After they asked me to pay $ 21 or order something else I demanded they honor the price I ordered at. They accepted, however this left a bad taste in our mouths and were unable to enjoy the rest of the experience. What a shame.

Being a lover of Comfort at My Table, I was very excited to try Jam Pantry and I was not disappointed!
Food was delicious and service was lovely, will definitely be back again even if to just purchase some of the jams and relishes that are available. Fantastic new addition to the Greenslopes area!

Nims’ is back (as is her banana chutney). Some of you may remember Nims’ from such café kitchens as Comfort at my Table in Milton. The Jam Pantry, in Greenslopes, is their newest venture and could be considered a more polished and grown up Comfort.
The country-​cottage chic design is still there but it’s more refined (hello beautiful wallpapered back room for group dining!) as is the menu. There’s old favourites including Nims’ Eggs but then there’s the specials board. And this is where Nims’ shines. French toast with raspberry ripples, Tomato and Strawberry soup, Cous Cous cereal with coconut yoghurt, confit salmon, and a few other treats sure to leave you considering a two or three course breakfast or brunch, or at the very least plotting your immediate return.
We dined here early on a Thursday morning in their first week of trade. Service was top-​notch, attentive and being asked just what I meant by «iced long black» was a welcome question to ensure my coffee was a rousing success. To be fair, there were only a handful of diners while we were there but I’m confident even during the busy weekend periods, brunch hunters wouldn’t be waiting too long for meals.
My Zucchini and Cumin fritters with bacon, beetroot relish (able to be purchased in-​house alongside Nims’ other preserves, jams and relishes), garlic yoghurt and poached eggs were much larger than I’d expected and finishing them became quite the mission whilst chatting away to my dining companion. Served in a bowl, it was liking digging for hidden treasure as I made my way down to the fritters — soft, pillowy and light. There was a moment of ordering regret upon seeing my friend’s french toast!
The best thing it’s the type of café you can take a paramour, your girlfriends, or your Mum. It’s just like going home!
