SBLT sandwich was GREAT. And the best option out of the three plates (bkfast sandwich and corn flake French toast) Highly recommend the chaggachino (mushroom coffee drink). Was a favorite! Do not recommend the crunchy French toast. It tastes more like toast with corn flakes on top (not very eggy like normal French toast) Service was fine. No issues read more

Yum! There was definitely a bit of a wait but the wait was worth it. We had a rather large group so we split into two due to the smaller size of the restaurant. We sat outside on their heated patio and it was lovely. I had the Salmon Benedict with their morning greens and the salmon was perfectly cooked. One of my eggs was a bit overdone but that wasn't a big deal at all because the flavor was really good and the other yolk was cooked perfectly for that "runny" effect. The drinks were a refreshing touch and the waiter was very attentive. Everyone was so nice! read more

Jelly - Salmon Benedict* - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Went in on a Monday around 11AM and had joined the waitlist on Yelp before! Interior is cute and we were sat outside on the patio. Menu has a variety of options from eggs Benedict's, scrambles, hashes, pancakes, french toast and more! We decided to try almost one of everything! We ordered: -8 donut holes: one of each flavor but they were out of one so we got an extra Mexican chocolate. The donuts were made fresh and each had a unique flavor to it! -Avocado caprese toast - perfect avocado ratio to bread to balsamic vinegar. Morning green side salad that comes with it and fruits is the perfect balance -Smoked Salmon eggs Benedict - comes on sourdough bread, ended up getting soggy after awhile and salmon had little to no flavor -Cinnamon roll pancake - Love a soft and fluffy cinnamon roll pancake -Ultimate biscuit - biscuit was cooked to perfection and not dry, topped with sausage gravy, bacon, carmelized onions, tomato and cheese! -Chiliquiles - AMAZING, so much flavor and probably my favorite dish -The Boulder scramble (not pictured) (Side note: rustic potatoes as side are not seasoned and although soft did not live up to my expectation of a breakfast side) Also ordered the bottomless mimosas which runs for $13 and is given in carafes as refills! read more

Jelly is hands down one of the best brunch spots in Denver. Sure, the food and atmosphere are great but that's not what makes this place irresistible. What truly sets this place apart is the owner. He is absolutely gorgeous. I know this is a breakfast place but I'd happily go back to bed if that guy comes with me. Go for the pancakes, stay for the eye candy. read more

Stopped in around 10:30 on a Sunday. We got in line on the app while leaving the house and our table was ready on the patio right as we got there. They have a good small menu. We started with the donut bites which were all so yummy. I split the breakfast burrito with my mom because it's easily enough for two. We both loved it! Our server was great as well! read more

Love this place! Came for brunch and ate some delicious lavender blueberry pancakes and had the goat cheese and salmon omelette. We shared some of their homemade donut holes. Coffee was delicious and service was wonderful! read more

What a yummy and cute place! Everything was delicious except for the donut bites. They were very bland a little too dry for me. The "flavors" are not infused on the inside, instead you just get the smallest amount of whatever filling on the outside leaving the rest of the donut bite tasting plain. I would skip these when ordering next time. My sweet potato hash was very flavorful on the other hand but portions are on the smaller side( I normally have leftovers when I get a hash). I also asked what was very hardy on the menu because I was hungry . The pancakes were amazing and so creative. Loved my seasonal pancake with white chocolate chips, blueberry compote and vanilla whipped cream but the star of the show is definitely the lavender blueberry pancake. Would strongly recommend ordering something sweet and savory if that is your thing. Staff is nice and atmosphere is fun. Would love to return! read more

Jelly was a great stop on our day visiting the Molly Brown House. It's just three blocks away and we walked right in for lunch. We loved the filled donut holes, the kids menu, and the diner food. Service was prompt and our bellies left full. What's not to love? read more

We love the atmosphere and staff at Jelly. They are conscientious about gluten issues and in particular cross contamination. We had Eggs Benedict, Fresh Fruit Cup, and the Boulder Scramble. For the Scramble, our server suggested replacing the toast (although they have gluten-free toast, there is a possibility of cross contamination) with the fruit bowl. All food was delivered promptly. And it was delicious. read more

My mom and sister and I came here for brunch and it was soooo good! We each had a mimosa and different egg dishes. My sister is vegan, I think she had some sort of sweet potato hash that she subbed out spinach for instead of egg or something. Everything was so delish!!! The service, and vibe of this place is just perfect. I was so happy I stumbled upon them when searching for brunch spots after another place we were going to had a really long wait. I haven't had brunch many other places in Denver but there's absolute zero reason to go elsewhere. Fantastic spot!!! Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I just left Jelly's. First, the server was very nice and helpful, the food not good at all. I ordered the corned beef hash with two eggs over medium, the egg was raw disgusting!!! I ordered marble rye and received a hard salty biscuit. They fixed the order and received no bread, the cook asked if you would like some toast lol. I ordered a mocha latte, and received it when I was almost done with my cold nasty food. My husband ordered a gluten Free pancake, they were just ok. I have eaten here so many times...I won't be back! read more

Food was alright. Pancakes were amazing. The potato'es are raw though and not crispy as you would expect. The service was great though and the restraunt cute. Overpriced imo. read more

Customer service was extremely disheartening. Especially for a local that is very active in supporting our inner city community.

Jelly is not your typical breakfast/brunch spot.. it's very diverse with everything made in house fresh to serve. There donut holes were my favorite part with diverse flavors and super fluffy! Reasonable pricing and great service (: read more

We were here a few weeks ago for work and needed a spot for brunch. Thankfully, there was no wait time so we decided to try Jelly based off the reviews. It's definitely a neighborhood hipster vibe - all the chairs are mismatched and the decor is eclectic. I got the French toast, which was good as hell, while my colleagues got the BLT and a biscuit breakfast. No complaints! I also got an ultimate biscuit to go because I was under the weather and I didn't want to go out later, and it was her good! My only complaint was the potatoes - they had zero flavor and the texture was rubbery. I can see why they're always so busy here. The food was good and the staff were all amazing. read more

One of my absolute favorite brunch places in Denver- literally SO GOOD! I would come here to eat the cinnamon roll pancake alone and leave happy. The Benedict's are great, sweet potato hash is a yes, breakfast Sammie's have been tastey too! Will be coming back again and again. read more

This was the boulder and I ordered the donughts on the side with the Carmel latte and a Tea. I just have to say the homemade jelly and biscuits were amazing. Probably one of the best teas and lattes I have ever had at restaurant. I thought it was awesome to get a sticker for swag just for eating there. Also another really cool thing was they served us water without us asking. Great service, great food! Highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Let me start by saying I have a few friends who say Jelly is their favorite breakfast place. I don't know if I keep ordering the wrong thing but each time, I leave disappointed. The service is now counter service, which takes away from the experience. My friend and I started with an order of donuts, which were decent. I then ordered the biscuits and "gravy" haco chili with two eggs over medium. From the way the biscuits were listed under the biscuit and gravy category, I was expecting the gravy to be flavored with chili bit instead it was straight up chili. My eggs were also very runny and inedible for my taste. I would have asked for a side of gravy to mix with the chili and if they could do anything about the eggs but felt awkward about going back up just to express my disappointment about my food. The positives is the service was quick and the people were nice. I also wonder if I just keep ordering incorrectly because I have so many friends that rave about this place. read more

Got food poisoning here yesterday. I hope others are ok. My partner is worse off. The food was meh and not as good as expected. Cute place but I saw our waiter eat something bare handed at the bar. The salmon in my partners food tasted a little extra tangy and the oat milk in his coffee seemed a little strange as well. My potatoes were like soggy, flavorless, I was expecting them roasted and crispy. I thought I got by unscathed but a couple hours later I too had demons. Really good way to ruin a day read more

Fantastic breakfast spot. The ambiance is fun and quirky. You feel like you have taken a step back in time to when you were a kid of the '80s. They have decorated the restaurant with old cereal boxes think Smurfs, Mr.T, and Strawberry Shortcake! Everyone liked their selected breakfast and we even tried some of the donut holes to start. They have indoor and outdoor seating and we found the server to be nice and efficient. I'd definitely go back. read more

Walked in on Saturday for a quick breakfast. The food came out fairly fast for how busy the restaurant was. We didn't have to wait, there was one table open at around 1pm. Food was delicious. The donuts were just ok. Service was awesome and the atmosphere was very cozy. Will be back. read more

Yummy breakfast food, tolerant of my small children, quick service. Big win for this family

This is a cute place from an ambiance perspective. However, the service was atrociously slow and after the wait the food was served cool. The pancake was crispy burnt on the bottom. Bacon was overdone. Salmon scramble had zero seasoning. We literally watched our overcooked and unseasoned food sit in the kitchen window for 10 minutes while the expediter stood there staring into space. Our waiter never checked on our status. We finished what we could of our breakfasts but our donut bites never came--waiter said they were being prepared in a different kitchen. I guess it takes a long time to thresh the wheat for the flour and squeeze the seeds for the cooking oil. read more

Popped in for brunch on our last day visiting Denver. Found Jelly Cafe as a popular breakfast/brunch spot from Yelp (of course!) as it seemed like a unique spot. If Jelly Cafe is anything, I will definitely call it unique. Seems to be a hotspot for the hip crowd and I can understand why. The decor is all bright colors, nostalgic and whimsical. Its got an old time diner/ice cream soda shop vibe with childhood wonder as the walls are lined with retro cereal boxes in glass cases. I was a bit taken aback by the Willie Nelson-style country playing on their sound system, not bothered by it to be clear, but surprised as it is not typical for the "trendy brunch spots" I've been to in the past. I'm gonna attribute this to being a uniquely Denver restaurant. Street parking available, though during prime hours it may be trickier. There was no wait for us mid-morning on a weekday, which was nice. Service was great, friendly people. I was impressed with their selection of beverages (though I did not imbibe on this occasion) and the variety to their menu, which is very accommodating for non-meat folk like myself. That said ... this is a three-star review for me because I was honestly underwhelmed by their food. However, I think the problem was that I ordered wrong. I personally ordered the Jackfruit chili chiliquiles, I am a BIG time fan of this dish traditionally, and so was excited to try this version. Unfortunately I found it to be really bland. The eggs were cooked well but it was lacking flavor and spice for me... it just wasn't satisfying. My partner's scramble on the other hand was quite tasty and I would recommend the Lavender-Blueberry pancakes, the jam was lovely and a perfect blend of the fruit and flower! TLDR; this is a really fun brunch spot with a diverse menu, but food isn't out of the ordinary. read more

Oh. My. This is perhaps the best brunch I have ever brunched. I went on a Sunday with two friends and the wait wasn't too long. We got a donut sampler, every bite was delicious. Everything looked so good that I had to choose something and stop looking at the menu, otherwise I wouldn't decide! I went with the cornflake crusted French toast. I thought it would have more cornflake crust, but still was delectable, especially with the macerated berries. My one complaint was that I got a side of poached eggs and they came in a little bowl, so it became kind of difficult to eat when they were just soup. Service was spot on, the dog watching is supreme, and the food is top notch. Definitely worth your time. read more

This place was amazing for brunch while I was visiting Denver! It can get really crowded but yelp allows you to put yourself on a waiting list (as long as you check in at the restaurant by a certain time after you've done this) which helps cut down the wait time (but waiting is really worth it!). My friend and I went around 11:15 am on a Saturday and put ourselves on the waiting list before we walked there. Then had to wait about 20 minutes after we got there (so we checked out a local bookstore). Service was super fast and our server was great. The place is known for their donut bites, so my friend and I split a large order so we could try all 8! Super good flavors and I really suggest trying the Thai peanut flavor - - really unique and one of my two favorites!! We both got mimosas, which were delish and super tall. For brunch, I got the Haco Chili Benedict which was good but it is a bit heavy with chili and a biscuit. Flavors were nice. My friend got a daily special of a Chili Relleno Benedict which was also super nice. The chili relleno was battered so it didn't have extra bread and had a bit of spice! Definitely a cool take on a benedict! The location is really nice, next to some other cute shops (bookstore and record store) and along 13th there are other cute places to check out in case you have a bit of a wait time or in case you want to keep the brunch vibes going after you're done eating! Would really recommend this place! read more

I was in Denver for a long weekend, and my friend and I liked Jelly so much that we went twice in one day. We had heard that the weekend wait could get very long, so we came on a Monday morning and there was no wait! The donut bites are definitely the way to go here. There are some pretty varied flavors such as Mexican chocolate and maple bacon. The most interesting one was Thai peanut, which had a swirl of peanut sauce and sweet chili. You can mix and match different flavors in an order. The lavender blueberry pancakes are a seemingly healthier pancake option - they come topped with fresh blueberries and the lavender butter is on the side. Food came out really fast. There's an outdoor seating area for nice days (although I saw a homeless guy approach another table and talk to them over the fence which was awkward). Overall, great spot for brunch. read more

Jelly Cafe is super cute, friendly staff and good food. make a reservation through yelp if you can. it's the exact same system they use when you are a walk in. We came on a busy saturday, they have a place to wait inside and since we walked it was nice to be inside the cool. We wanted to be full but not stuffed and ordered 8 large donut bites, the lemon was really tart. we then had a cinnamon roll pancake and southern biscuits. both were very good, our only complaint was the strong rosemary flavor of the biscuits. i like but don't love rosemary as is and the flavor just didn't feel right with it. the potatoes were really good. the whole meal was good and i would return. read more

Jelly Cafe is always on my list when we are in Denver! It's so good and worth the short wait. Pro Tip: if you know you're going, join the waitlist here on Yelp! While you wait, you MUST get an order of donut bites. They're so good, change up daily, and will hold you over until you get seated. Also, try one of their creative cocktails or enjoy a latte. Guaranteed to wake you up or cure that hangover! I like trying their specials since those items aren't on the menu. Yesterday, we ordered the Chilaquiles and the Beet Hummus Avocado Toast (special) with two over easy eggs on top. Hubs had the Blood Beer (Bloody Mary and beer combo) and I had the Belini - both were super delish! LOVED the Beet Hummus Avo Toast so much! The bread didn't get soggy either and it was a very large portion. The salad that came on the side was nice and summery - with oranges and blueberries. Hubs enjoyed the Chilaquiles a lot. He isn't one to comment on a dish being exceptional but he did when he ate this one. If you don't mind jointing the Yelp waitlist and waiting a bit (while nomming on donut bites), Jelly Cafe should be on your list! read more

Jelly - Donut bites! Lemon, raspberry, Mexican chocolate, salted caramel - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Atmosphere is great! Food was great! I had been looking forward to coming to This diner for months & months. Obviously my experience was much different with all the covid stuff, but that should not result in anything "bad". We came in and didn't get greeted right away so just waited until someone was ready to say something. Then we were told order at the counter. So we grabbed menus and contemplated our order. After I put in my credit card I was told there was a 20% gratuity added, which I don't mind the money, I often tip that much anyway, but there were other concerns. When we sat down I told my friend, so they've gotten their tip, what will incentivize them to even get anything for us or check on us? Unfortunately, my concerns were proven. Even though there were only a handful of tables and three people working they seemed like they couldn't keep up. And were VERY irritated if you asked for anything at all. Which I had to stop every person each time we needed something because no one ever came to check on us. I left there feeling badly. And I don't want to go to restaurants and leave feeling like I was happier before I came in their establishment. Effing sad. Things that we did "wrong" and got attitude in return by the staff: - asking for a lemon for my iced tea - asking for my jiggly bacon to be cooked more crispy - asking for our missing pancake that we ordered - asking for salt & pepper - asking for sweetener for our iced coffee - and the worst attitude of all: asking for a container to take the biscuit we couldn't eat home Do we really need to feel bad, feel sorry, and get an evil eye and often not even a verbal response at all for asking for the things above? I don't need to spend my money here, other places are open. You can bet I won't come back for a long time. It really sucks to have these feelings. Haven't staff been off work? Aren't they happy being back? They seemed so angry, rude, and off-putting to us simply for being customers. The service industry is not for everyone. If you don't like the job or can't be nice and inviting - don't do it. There were times when I did my 8 years or serving and bartending I had 40, 50, 60 people in my section. Now that is busy. Here, the three staff members maybe had around 10-15ish? And acted so busy and like they had NO time or pleasant personality for me and my friend. As far as what's "intentional" in my experience that I took the time out to describe, here's what I'll say... in my many years in the service industry, there were times I did things intentionally to prove a point. I knew what I was doing. I suppose there were also times what was implied and inferred had a disconnect/miscommunication. But, unless you were party A - the customer or party B - the service provider, no one else outside of A or B has the right to say what actions or feelings were "intentional". To be outside of that close sphere and suggest you know what someone was thinking or meant to do, is basically copping out of the situation and honestly suggesting that I must have "read something wrong" because my experience described was not "intentional". I can assure you when I asked for the to-go box, crispy bacon, lemon, etc. the glare I received back or the non-verbal walk-off felt quite blatantly intentional. I didn't imagine anything here. Instead of misreading that things must have been "unintentional", use the detailed, constructive criticism for training staff and to do better. Thanks and have a nice day! read more

I really loved the coziness of Jelly, and that even though it's a small spot, I've never had to wait too long. I'm a big fan of breakfast all day and that it has diner vibe, but that the food is definitely a couple steps up. The food came really fast. I started with some doughnuts, which were really tasty (the Mexican chocolate was great). I was a little confused because the menu says the doughnuts are filled, but they just come with the flavor on top. It wasn't bad by any means, just wasn't what I was expecting. The corned beef hash was amazing. It was super filling and had great flavor. The sunny side up eggs were so good over the corned beef and potatoes. Definitely order the corned beef hash if you're looking for something filling. If breakfast is your jam, definitely check out Jelly. read more

We had a 30 min wait so like any diner I went to the bar to order a cup of coffee and drinks for the 3 others in my party to make our wait comfortable. I was turned down. Their "manager policy" does not allow waiting diners to order at the bar even if they pay at the time of order. Said differently, they don't want business from anyone having to wait. Suggested I go to Kaladi to buy coffee for my wait. The manager needs a common sense 101 class at DU stat. read more

Okay but not that great. Nice waitress though. Service was a bit spotty, however, as she never checked on us on her own and we had to flag her down. But she tried to make up for it in pleasant interactions, which was great. We ordered tea, hot cocoa, 8 donuts holes, two breakfast plates, the corned beef and the Boulder scramble. The tea was lovely, a very nice brand and great price at 2.50! Hot chocolate was pretty tasty but not served hot, more like Lukewarm. The plates were pretty generous in portions. The corned beef was amazing! The boulder scramble was served very wet and underdone (for me) and was bland when it came back from being re-cooked and they forgot the cheese. Even salt, pepper and hot sauce had a hard time bringing a punch of flavor to the dish without overwhelming it with just "hot sauce" taste. In the end the waitress offered to removed the dish from our bill, which was very kind. The biscuit was as served cold. And was firm, not soft, flaky and tender, so it was a disappointment. The "jelly" was actually a compote and a bit weak on flavor but was okay. The donuts were a total miss, in my opinion. Taste and texture of funnel cake. No filling inside, just a dollop on top, which was disappointing for me. Even though there were some downsides I might visit again and try other dishes, especially because service was so pleasant over-all. read more
