I've been coming here for well over a year, and I will keep coming back because of the delicious food and atmosphere, but especially for the people who make me feel happy and comfortable. Big shout out to the staff Gabby, Kala, Natalie, Sam, Sean and everyone else whom I cant remember right now. Xoxo, JohnBoy read more

We had to sit at the bar to avoid a super long wait. Bar service was meh-they were pretty busy. We were excited by all the different gluten free items featured on the menu. The donut bites were insanely good. My favorite wax the Thai peanut and the maple bacon. We tried each of them! Loved the cornflake French toast and the ultimate biscuit. Coffee wasn't great. That and the service were our only complaints. Love having more fun GF food choices for my family! read more

Yum! My breakfast here was really great. I got a quinoa bowl with Brussels sprouts and sweet potato. I also got the chilaquiles which were great! Inside is very retro & cute! read more

I used to love this place. See me review from 2016 below. Things are much different. Today It reeked of sewage, they served moldy water, and the cheese and fruit were spoiled. The servers barely spoke, and when I asked about the breakfast sandwich, he replied "it's a breakfast sandwich". Table was dirty and unstable, and my chair felt like it was going to break. This place has gone downhill. Please don't give them your money, you deserve better. Trust me read more

Bland, uninspired food. The scramble was soggy and felt like prison/cafeteria food. The potatoes tasted almost boiled - I've done better at home. The gluten free toast was the best thing on the plate, which is saying something. The atmosphere is cute, but it doesn't make up for the absolutely abysmal food. read more

My only complaint is the waitress was not very friendly and was annoyed when we asked a question! But the food was amazing. The restaurant is super cute! The best espresso martini I've ever had read more

Jelly - Espresso martini, donuts, cup of coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ambiance is great, but it stops there. Service was poor and the food was bland. The signature mini donuts were fresh and hot but lacked a certain flavor donuts get from the oil they are fried in. Mexican chorizo on my hash lacked any of the seasoning to call it chorizo. It was really more like ground sausage. The Hollandaise was nothing like the mother sauce. Really more of a bernaise I mean holladaise does not have tarragon in it. I know they have salt because it's on the table but I don't think it ever makes it on the food, just didn't have any flavor. I would not recommend based on my first year experience. read more

Food was good not great. Standard breakfast dining which was a little disappointing for the prices. It also smelled really bad next to our table which made it a little harder to enjoy our breakfast. read more

@jellycafe - an apt name for a place of breakfast. It was busy for a Thursday morning. College crowd. There was a cacophony of laughter and conversation, a din morning feasting can only create. I was seated. I had a hankering for biscuits and gravy. And a side of bacon. The wait staff was super friendly, referring to me kindly as 'my friend' and 'boss.'' My order placed, I soaked up the ambience. The black house coffee was strong. I was pleased. I was also existing in a state of weakness hunger. As a proud member of the Biscuits and Gravy Society I was drooling with anticipation of the arrival my breakfast. The hip college crowd spoke of things I understood. Dropping eaves into conversations I learned of manscaping beards, roadtrips, class ditching and loves of bacon and sausage. Breakfast brings us all together. A shot of Irish Cream, Bailey's Original, can be added to coffee proudly of the Colorado Coffee Merchants Cabin blend. Classic beverages such as White Russian and Bloody Mary are available. Now to the food. The Biscuits and Gravy were quite good. The biscuits were fluffy homemade. The gravy was made with care, not typical, which was refreshing. I tasted sage. And there was a bay leaf in there. The home fry potatoes had a dollop of sour cream. I was impressed. Very impressed. I shall return. You should also. You'll be glad you did. read more

The food was amazing I totally recommend. It didn't take long to get a table but once we got our table it took 10 minutes to put our order in. The service wasn't the worst but definitely not the best. read more

Had a lovely breakfast here. Everyone was friendly and pleasant. Extensive menu of breakfast items. I had The Northwest-house smoked salmon, goat cheese and chives served w rustic potatoes and a biscuit. Also ordered a side of bacon. Had the spiked (vodka) iced coffee. It was perfect. Loved the decor so retro and fun. read more

This place has gone downhill. Service sucks; you stand at the door for at least ten minutes. Multiple people will acknowledge you, but no one will actually come over to help you. They move at a snails pace to get anything done. Food is good, but not worth the hassle of waiting 45 minutes for it. read more

I've always driven past this restaurant and was curious to try it. I think overall it was okay. I had the salmon benedict, and even though I rarely use salt on dishes I get, I had to put salt on my benedict because the hollandaise and the salmon was pretty bland unfortunately and I expected the salmon to be like smoked salmon and not regular salmon that was cooked, but the eggs were cooked in the way I liked, The mimosa I had was delicious actually , so that was pretty enjoyable. I really wish the benedict did taste better though. I'd like to give them another chance and I'll try something else next time. Their donuts do look good so I will try some another time hopefully. read more

The food is great, and the staff is always kind. There is normally a large wait and parking isn't ideal, but I love going for their brunch with friends. read more

I came for the gluten free donut holes. I'd just heard so much about them, I had to know. We tried 2 flavors- the maple bacon and jelly. It's been a long time since I've had fried dough so in that respect, they were good, but I think they would have been better if they were filled all the way through and not just topped with the flavors. I like to bite into donuts and have the flavors ooze out. I like the ooze. After our appetizer, I had the Haco benedict on GF toast and Hubs had just the plain old run-of-the-mill benedict. He said his was just OK- to which I say, "Why didn't you opt for something a little more special??" I really liked my Haco benedict which is why the review is at 4 stars. Otherwise, I'd probably go for 3. The GF bread is really good. I'd like to try the veggie sandwich with it. So...I think we shall return at some point. We rolled in around 11:30 and did not wait more than 10 minutes on a Sunday. Maybe we just got lucky?? read more

Warm, homemade donut holes with peanut butter and Sriracha?! Holy hot stuff....they are worth driving across town for. Luckily, the Jelly U location is just around the corner from my office so I can get them whenever I want and week day lunchtimes don't have the lines out the door like the weekends do. Last time we were there for lunch, my husband went for full-on breakfast -- fluffy pancakes that aren't too big and aren't too small, two eggs over medium, crisp potatoes and a steaming cup of coffee. I devoured the veg burger with pesto and shredded zucchini. The burger was not a typical over-processed, dry veg burger -- it was moist and uber delicious! read more

Wait was much longer than stated and food was mediocre. Although the cafe is cute, I wouldn't recommend.

This little spot was a hit among all 4 of us. Their service was excellent! The cinnamon pancakes was delicious and the homemade donut bites were little bursts of flavor. read more

We ordered to-go from Jelly. We had two Aztec breakfasts which we have had many times before and was good. This time the rice was very crunchy and hurt your teeth to chew and the lentils weren't cooked at all either. The avocado had a very funky flavor to it. There was no berry saracha sauce on and it was super dry. We will never be ordering from here again! Also, when we tried to call to get it resolved there phone wasn't working and you can't leave a message. Horrible customer service! read more

I have been eating at Jelly for five years and it is about time I leave them the review they deserve. Sam, Patrick, and Willie are incredibly personable and professional. The food is consistently excellent and I always look forward to coming back. Do yourself a favor and go visit the lovely folks at Jelly. read more

This Jelly is the best! The staff is friendly and quick and the ambiance is perfect. We had breakfast cocktails (Prime Directive and Bloody Mary) that were great. Breakfast was delicious! The Pueblo scramble was very tasty as was the chilaquiles. Forgot to take a photo because it was so delicious! read more

It's fresh and tasty . Sometimes they even have an organic item for coffee drinks . Their gluten free bread is delightful . Gluten free doughnut holes too ! I have made a point to try something different each time I visit and have been satisfied every time . Plus it's always enough food to take home for later too . read more

They've changed it up during covid times. You get a table number and then order at the counter. They'll bring you your food and drinks, though. Auto 20% service fee and a space to add more if you see fit. There are a few outdoor tables but no heaters. While waiting for my friend, I ordered a small oat milk latte, and with 20% grat added on, was over $6. 15min and a friend later, I still didn't have my latte. When I got it, and got halfway through it, I think it was dairy not oat. Still tasty but not what I had ordered. I got vegetarian chilaquiles for breakfast with over medium eggs. They know how to do over medium! That's a feat at places. The chilaquiles were flavorful and fresh. The jackfruit chili added a nice touch too! We split some donut holes - the jelly was bomb, the lemon (a little) weird - not curd and not jam but a textured gel. Maple bacon looked good, but I didn't have it. The service was friendly and mostly fast. The place smelled divine and had a huge menu. read more

I was looking for some gluten free pancakes and they did not disappoint! I had the blueberry pancakes with lavender syrup. I didn't taste much lavender in the syrup, but the pancakes were delicious! The blueberries were piled in the middle, and oh so tasty!!!! I also ordered a fresh orange juice--so good, and a fruit bowl. The staff were very friendly! My only complaint was not being offered a receipt. (Maybe my mistake for not asking.) read more

I live in the area and have patronized Jelly for years. No more! The restaurant has "cheapened-out" with their protein ingredients. The turkey in the favored Molly Brown - a few shreds. The pulled pork, egg and chorizo in the breakfast burrito - where were they? It was a flavored, tortilla-wrapped, sliced potato burrito. What has happened to your ingredients? read more

Been there 3 times now, probably won't go back. Went Saturday morning @ 8. Wasn't super busy. Waited for 10 minutes to even be acknowledged. Guy didn't even look at us and asked how many, if he'd looked he would have seen 2. Waited another 10 minutes for same guy to come over. Never received coffee we ordered. Had to ask another server. Our server obviously didn't want to be there. Foods okay but not worth waiting for. Sorry read more

Really awful food. People just come here for the vibe, much better brunch in the area. It's also expensive on top of that.

First visit to Jelly, had heard good things about this restaurant. What a disappointment! Firstly, the iced tea tasted old and rancid. Ordered the basic breakfast; the 2 eggs were cold, the toast was old and cold, the potatoes were tasty. The unidentifiable, namesake, jelly had no flavor. Our server was pleasant but very rushed. Won't be visiting here anytime soon. read more

I took my daughter and some family members there for a birthday breakfast and overall it was really really good! The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because quite honestly, the place was cold, and everybody was complaining about not being comfortable, and the food came out and a couple people didn't have hot food, but warm food. I would definitely go back and give them a second and/or third try and would be happy to change my vote from four stars to five stars. read more

This place has a pretty hipster vibe with bold cereal boxes taped up all around the restaurant which are pretty interesting to look at. Would not recommend the donut holes as they were some of the worst donut holes I've had in my life, would rather just go to any donut place and get plain donut holes instead. The haco chili Benedict was amazing and had pretty good portions for an eggs Benedict. Would have given this place 5 stars if the donuts weren't so terrible. Overall good vibe with ok service. Would come back next time I'm in Denver. Haco chili Benedict- 5/5 Donut holes- 2/5 Bloody Mary- 4/5 read more

Cute little location. I had brunch here with a friend I hadn't seen in 15 years. She highly recommended this place, so we gave it shot. They were mildly busy, but we only had about a 10-minute wait for a table. The wait was a bit longer for drinks and to place our order. They seemed a bit understaffed with what looked like 2 people working the entire dining room and 1 person working behind the bar and assisting with pulling food. They were all hustling though! We could tell they were doing their best to take care of everyone as quickly as possible. We waited a little bit for our food, but the coffee never ran out and we had plenty to catch up on anyway. I ordered a burrito and it was MASSIVE! It came out hot and was absolutely delicious. I also ordered some of their famous donut holes to-go, and I couldn't resist trying one while still in the restaurant. They were hot, fresh, unique flavors, and utterly satisfying if you have a sweet tooth. I definitely recommend this place, but try to catch them when they're not busy or have more staff. Shoutout to the kitchen staff too! They were pumping out orders like crazy and never sacrificed quality. read more

I have to leave a review for our brunch yesterday because Jelly was on top of it. Last time I went to Jelly, probably over a year ago, it was terrible. Such awful service and food was ok. I decided to roll the dice and try it again yesterday because I keep thinking about the veggie biscuits and gravy. Yesterday was amazing! I put our name on the waitlist and when we showed we were seated immediately. Right away a server came to take our drink order. Our food came out quickly and was hot and delicious. Our waiter was attentive but, not annoying. It was a really good experience yesterday. read more

I like Jelly. Its a friendly breakfast diner. Ive had the salmon eggs Benedict and the biscuits and gravy. I would say their eggs Benedict's are their star. The donuts are warm and nice balance of airy and doughy. The topping too are delightful. The only downside was that the biscuits were a bit dry. Maybe I need to get them when they are fresh. But the gravy and toppings were great and I just scooped them on top of the potatoes. Great place to meet a friend. Ill be back read more

Jelly - Gf jelly and creme anglaise doughnuts - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

With Monday off my friend and I decided to get breakfast somewhere different. We live in South Denver and frequent Snooze and Urban Egg nut decided to head towards DU to check out Jelly. I was excited for the fun flavors of donuts and also got a side of biscuits and gravy. The donuts weren't warm and only flavorful because of the topping. I was expecting a warm light and airy donut hole. They were very dense. Next came the biscuits and gravy that was nearly inedible. I make b&g at home all the time and one tip you MUST always follow is to stir the flour so there is not any clumps. This gravy was like eating bland tapioca pudding. I added lots of salt and hot sauce and still couldn't manage to eat much. Sad to say we will not be in again and will try other spots in Denver next time. read more
