The food at Jelly is worth the visit. We ordered a 9-pack of donuts, and the base donut itself is fantastic -- soft, fresh, and flavorful. The variety of toppings makes it fun to mix and match. The Thai Peanut was unique and surprisingly good, but the Mexican Chocolate was the clear favorite at the table. I had the avocado toast. The side salad was a standout -- spinach, small orange slices, and a berry vinaigrette. Super fresh, light, and refreshing. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it had great flavor with a nice kick of spice. Vegetarian options were clearly labeled, with a note to ask about vegan swaps. The service, unfortunately, didn't match the food. We waited at the door for at least 10 minutes without being acknowledged. After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food. We also never got water refills, and with just one napkin each for donuts and a full meal, I found myself folding and refolding mine a million different ways. Overall, service felt slow and a bit disjointed, like we weren't a priority. If the service improved, this would easily be a go-to brunch spot. read more

I was looking for a cute, trendy place for breakfast for my sisters and I found this place on Yelp. It's exactly what I was looking for, they have a very trendy, retro vibe in one of my sisters made the comment that it was very alternative friendly. It is on the corner of 13th and Pearl, which is right downtown meaning that Parking can be a little bit difficult. They have many options that cater to all manner of appetites. Salads, sandwiches, traditional, breakfast, and they are known for their little donut holes. Additionally, they have a good coffee and coffee alternative menu. One of my sisters and I both got lattes and my other sister got a hot tea and we are all very happy with our selections. I forgot a photograph all the food that we ate, but I did take a picture of the donut holes. We got the four pack that consisted of the cream anglaise, the lemon, and the Mexican chocolate. They were good, not too sweet, I would've preferred that they were stuffed with the filling because I think it would've made them taste even better. One of my sisters and I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy. She got the ultimate and I got the southern. Both were absolutely delicious and came with these really yummy potatoes. My other sister got the lox Benedict and ate it so unbelievably fast that I didn't even have a chance to see what it looked like. My stepmom ended up getting a scramble of some sort and she said it was fantastic. The restaurant staff was very kind and courteous, and the restaurant was very clean. I did get an opportunity to use the restroom and while it was very much covered in graffiti and stickers, it was clean and they did have a changing table for kids. We ended up splitting up our checks and they came out to about $22 a person, including my coffee, my entrée and my doughnuts. I would actually recommend this place. I think it is very kid friendly and a really neat place to visit. read more

A great local spot for the donut or breakfast lover! I got the chance to try Jelly in all its glory with a friend a few weekends ago, and highly recommend! This cozy spot offers all your favorite breakfast classics, and some Denver favorites. A standout amongst the chain brunch spots in this city, in my opinion! Their orange juice is fresh squeeze, the interior is quaint, and the hospitality is top tier. Our server and the host were both so nice! The number one thing that should be on your list when visiting Jelly has to be the donut hole flight. Each donut is delicious, and their menu includes a wide variety. My two favorites were the Lemon and the Thai Peanut options. Give this spot a visit! read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cool funky place with good breakfasts. Our friends recommended this place for breakfast and they didn't steer us wrong. Loved the funky retro vibes, anchored by a wall showcasing some vintage cereal boxes. I got the cream cheese and salmon loaded toast and hubby got the veggie burrito--both very good. My potatoes were a bit underdone but it's a minor quibble. We also had to get a 4 pc order of donut bites, which were a decadent and scrumptious treat. Service was great and prices reasonable--we're fans! read more

Very impressed! I had the white chocolate mocha with cookie dough whiskey, a white chocolate mocha, a cinnamon roll pancake, the challah French toast, and tried all the donut holes. Honestly, I would go back just for the donut holes- they were all topped with various flavors- peanut, raspberry jam, and the crème were standouts, the only one I didn't care for was the maple. And they were served WARM. The donut itself wasn't overly sweet, it really let the topping shine. The cinnamon roll pancake was very, very sweet, and the French toast was good but not my favorite thing. Next time I would try an eggs Benedict or a biscuit and gravy. There were so many dishes that looked great! Love that they offered so many gluten free options as well. I really appreciated the patience of our server, who was very sweet and helpful while I waited for my (very late) friend. The interior of the restaurant is really fun- super whimsical! Overall, I would recommend and will be back! read more

My husband and I were in town for the weekend. We always look for a place that has good vibes while traveling. Jelly was that for us. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive, and was absolutely adorable. She was great to offer recommendations, and answer any questions we had. I got a chai latte, and the salmon Benedict. They were both absolutely delicious! My husband got the burrito and said it was great also. We got the Bloody Marys, which are a house mix, and we loved them! Best bloody we've had in a while. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Denver! read more

They also had a fresh strawberry lemonade with vodka on special for $4..oh yea, it was amazing! love you jelly! read more

Jelly - fresh strawberry lemonade with vodka $4 - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Came here on a Sunday for a late brunch with three friends. Street parking, and online reservation line available. We went around 1:30pm so it wasn't too busy. It felt like a cafe, nothing to write home about but clean and did the trick. Our waitress was lovely and check on us when necessary. Made a great recommendation to start with the Challah French toast. The only reason I took away one star was an odd interaction with one of the people who dropped out food off. He dropped it on the table, really loud which startled us all, didn't say anything and then walked away. We thought maybe he had dropped it and was embarrassed idk, but it was really strange. I said something out loud about how weird that was, and I hope it was an error. When he came to drop off the rest of the food he asked who's food was who and seemed to be more calm this time. It was a little better but still such a strange interaction. Overall 4/5 stars read more

After a positive experience before, I came back to Jelly with a group of friends. I ordered the breakfast burrito (with meat) while another friend ordered the vegetarian burrito. Our food arrived and we asked the waiter which burrito contained meat and he hesitated. I said that I had ordered my burrito with avocado, so he said that the one burrito without avocado must have no meat. Once my friend bit in though, it was pretty obvious that there was pork included. It took us several minutes to flag down a waitress, and she apologized and said it would be fixed immediately. A new burrito was brought out and another waiter just said they had a lot of new staff as a way of apologizing. The restaurant did remove the burrito from the bill but it felt like a pretty big mistake to make and be taken so lightly. My breakfast burrito was still as enjoyable as I remembered it from before, and was super flavorful from the green chili. The food was good but the experience tainted a bit by the mishap! read more

Wouldn't be Sunday without having brunch. I came here because all the breakfast foods sounded so good on the menu. Came around 10am and waited about 15 minutes for a seat at the bar (longer wait if you want a table). I ordered: breakfast burrito, half a cornflake French toast, and drip coffee. The French toast has so many layers of flavor: a crunchiness added by the cornflakes, gooey sweetness from the challah, and a tart/sweetness from the fruit. The breakfast burrito I got with green chili (you can't come to Colorado without trying green chili). The green chili has a light flavor that goes well with the green chilies and pulled pork. The burrito is a good mix of pulled pork, chorizo, scrambled egg, etc. I did find a few shell pieces in the scrambled egg, but overall the burrito was very very scrumptious! The drip coffee I believe is from Pablo's (right down the block), and is your standard drip coffee. The espresso machine wasn't working, otherwise would have probably gotten a latte. The service was amazing! Even though it was very busy, the bartender/waitress was very attentive and checked in at regular intervals. Inside, my favorite aspect would be the signs (see pictures). I liked the height of the stools and that there was a bar for your feet (for those shorties out there) both on the stools and on the lower part of the counter. There are so many more menu items that sounded good. Will likely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

I thought the food was a little bland. The service was rushed, even though it wasn't very busy. Parking is tough, it's street parking. I went around the street twice and luckily found a spot down the street. There's a homeless guy sitting directly at the front door smoking, so that ruined the food experience a bit. Not the homelessness but the smoking right there. Wish the manager had said something to him. The donuts are flavorful and the coffee is strong. Go for those and you'll be happy. read more

very, very good food and service. The place felt very homie and cozy and very welcoming.

This joint is a special treat. But on the weekends, it's difficult parking. After 20 minutes looking for and finding parking, we headed in for breakfast. It was a nice walk at 8:30 am on a Saturday. We tried Benedict's, specialty coffees, and donut bites. The sever was very helpful in steering us towards dishes we would like. We got doughnut bites first. So these are really doughnut holes that are dressed on top. They looked so good that I forget to take a pic of the plate. I personally loved the salted caramel doughnut bites. We also got a Mocha and a Chai Latte. Both were fabulous. This place is an awesome spot for hot drinks. What I love is the range and choice of milks. I prefer oat milk in hot drinks and they have it at Jelly! Our food came out and it was beautiful. Everything was also tasty. The guys got Benedict's and I got Chiliquiles. There was plenty of on the plate and each sauce was executed beautifully. The flavor of the Chiliquiles was awesome. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The seasonings were delicious, and the saladas were yummy. I would definitely order this again. If you're looking for a quirky little diner-esque breakfast spot with a more colorful menu, I highly recommend Jelly. read more

LOVED this place - so cute for brunch! My friend had been before and strongly recommended it, so we knew what to expect. We got on the table waitlist as we left our hotel and our table was ready just as we pulled up - about a 25 min drive time (so wait time if you don't have a res). It is on a corner with plenty of street parking but it was pretty full that sat AM so we had to park a couple blocks down. The servers - very friendly and helpful. The ambiance - cute cafe-looking, and the patio is heated/covered in winter so it is still warm enough to sit out there which we did! The food - delicious!! I got a savory French toast dish along with their famous jelly donuts, and I'm not even a donut person but I greatly enjoyed them. My friend got a bunch of sides including potatoes and toast which she also really enjoyed. I also got a French 86, which was quite strong - I wasn't expecting to leave brunch unable to drive but it wore off within 30 min or so (and my friend drove). For the food, drinks, and tip we spent about $70 together so not bad at all! I would absolutely come back for brunch again any time! read more

I was so excited to try this place out for the whole year cause i put it off for my boyfriends bday and it's the absolutely most mid breakfast spot i think i've been to in Den yet that in pictures looks like so much more than what it is lmao. Breakfast had good flavor but nothing special at all. Comparable quality to like a Dennys. these donut holes...are so misleading.. and kinda disappointing. now, i can't say much cause i still scarfed em down cause i had a sweet tooth anyway. "filled" - not-- they literally just put the curd/jam at the top of a donut hole. isn't even glazed. just dry donut. for the size and price, not bad; but it was such an anticlimactic try. and like i love jam espec when it's tart but that raspberry jelly one at 1'oclock was so damn sour. like warhead sour???? their homemade jelly they give you with their bread is fire of course. read more

Jelly wins my award for cutest brunch spot I had the pleasure of dining in during my time in Denver! The restaurant is ADORABLE. If you love the color pink, and bright poppy fun vibes, you'll love this place. Everything we ate was so good. We didn't have a single complaint about anything we tasted. We ordered the smoked salmon and goat cheese scramble, French toast and a couple of their famed donut holes. All were delicious. That French toast was mouth wateringly good.

UPDATE! All of the things mentioned in my previous review still ring true! Although the menu is breakfast heavy and served all day, the lunch shines just as much and is OMG so good. ++ The Ruben - Slow-cooked corned beef or roasted turkey, or both - with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut with Russian dressing on rye bread. Do yourself a favor and get the corned beef as the meat is generously layered with melty cheese and absolutely delicious! ++ SBLT - Griddled salmon with bacon, lettuce, tomato and basil mayonnaise served on multigrain bread. I know what you're thinking, "salmon, at a breakfast joint?". Well, let me tell you this sandwich was well cooked, layered perfectly and refreshing! My side of sweet potato fries were icing on the cake! Mom and I left with a full belly after a wonderful experience! When in the area, I'd easily return! read more

There's almost always a wait (typ. 30 min) so put yourself on the online waitlist beforehand to save yourself some time. But when you're seated, the servers are very attentive and pretty quick. The breakfast burrito was the best dish of the 3. It had different flavors and textures, and a big portion size. The scramble was decent, and the corned beef hash was pretty one dimensional. I've been here a couple of times now, and I would say it's consistent and a fun brunch place! read more

I decided to try it one more time and sadly it was worse. I ordered the salmon BLT. There was only enough salmon to cover half the sandwich, it was dry, the bacon was not fully cooked, and ended up with half a sandwich. The fries were bland, but edible. The service left a lot to be desired, besides almost finishing my lunch before my friends got their food, the attitude of the person who served us was very off putting. On a positive not, the pancakes my friend got were yummy and the bisquit I tried was good, which saved the review. It is a cool location and clean, however, 22 bucks for a half of a sandwich and a small fry is not worth it. read more

Food was just ok, nothing special. Service was good. We went out of our way to come here and it just wasn't worth it. The donut bites were good, but not memorable. I had a typical scramble and unknowingly paid extra for the driest biscuit I've ever had in my life. I attempted to eat it with the tiny serving of butter and jelly they provided, but it just crumbled. The tablespoon of jelly they served with it was actually the best part of the meal. My husband had a Bloody Mary and the Haco Benedict and said it was good. They serve most dishes with a side of red potatoes that appear to be boiled, unlike the crispy potatoes I'm used to from most diners. Portions are pretty large and outdoor seating is dog friendly. read more
