Ordered biscuits and gravey. Found two small hairs on one biscuit so I didn't eat that one. The other biscuit was not very good tasting. Cost was 17 dollars which is a little steep. Won't be coming back.

The hostess was pretty rude and disorganized. She never texted us, and when we went up and asked, she was very flippant and said, "I did text you!" When we challenged her, it was then that she admitted she never did. Ironically, we got the text that we were off the list. She seated 6-8 more people in front of us. The bad part is we were sitting right in front of her. On the food, I was surprised that getting meat with your basic breakfast was extra, and if the restaurant is called "The Jelly Cafe," I would expect more options for jelly. The biscuits are homemade and really good, but unless you wanted mango or raspberry jelly, you were out of luck at Jelly's.

From the moment you walk in and see the vintage Sylvania TV, you can tell the attention is in the details. Greeted by the friendly host, the walk to the table lets you take in the vintage cereal boxes that adorn the back wall—a perfect nod to nostalgia.
The food presentation was next level, with each dish cooked to perfection. The Eggs Benedict was hands down my favorite, featuring a creative twist that set it apart—a tangy, house-made hollandaise with just the right kick and a surprising layer of flavor that took it beyond the classic. Can’t forget to try the Donut bites. As a New York City native, this spot reminded me of a trendy Williamsburg eatery, blending retro charm with modern culinary flair. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique dining experience!

Korrtney was amazing the last time I was in. She was so sweet and kind. Very helpful and demure with getting me the right choice. Food was good but will definitely be back for the amazing service. Thank you again Kortney for the amazing brunch!

Waited an hour for a table and sadly the food was so disappointing. Ordered a london fog and it was spilled on the table when it was delivered, no acknowledgment of the spill, it was room temp, and appeared to just be unsteamed milk and tea. The donut holes were bready and tough and were just plain donuts with a glob of flavoring on top. The breakfast was just fine. The service was great and the vibes inside are very cute, but the food ranged from bad to mediocre so I won’t be back :/

Jelly is one of my favorite neighborhood breakfast spots. It’s a cute, retro, buzzing cafe that offers great breakfast options. They do have a lunch menu, but I’ve not tried it yet even though I”ve been there at least 20 times. Their doughnut bites are a much have (you can mix and match flavors). I always get some of those for the table, then debate on getting a hash or biscuits and gravy. Everything in the hash and biscuits and gravy menu I highly recommend. Those are my go tos. I’m also a big fan of their chai lattes. The chai is much more spicy than sweet, so heads up if you prefer a sweet chai.
Vegetarian options: They list on the menu that they can make many of the items vegetarian even if it’s not listed as that.
Cute little brunch spot. Friendly staff, great menu selection, untouched consistency and quality. I'm partial towards getting their classic Benedict but on a biscuit, with crispy potatoes. Easily one of the best biscuits in Denver and really elevates the Benedict experience by not becoming sopped up like an English muffin will. Courtney behind the breakfast bar was super attentive and kind with so much patience with it being so busy. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a quality breakfast/brunch experience!

The food was good. Nothing to write home about but it got the job done. The service was friendly but far too formal for comfort. Mandatory tip for the kitchen staff? That should be optional based on the food quality in my opinion. So a restaurant forcing that loses points in my book.

I’ve given this place many chances throughout my time in Denver whether dining alone or with friends. I wanted to like it, but after trying quite a few of their menu items (had better at other places) and dealing with semi rude staff members, I’d say to just head somewhere else. The food is okay at best and overpriced for how terribly unseasoned it is. I will say the donuts here are lovely and I do like the cocktail options, but that’s really it, in my honest opinion. There have also been a couple of times where I was promised a table within 10-20 minutes, however long they say, only for me to see that the hostess has already seated several parties after me. Disliked that a ton. Sad to see so many other reviews complaining about excruciatingly long wait times. The service could be a lot better. Place looks cute, but expect overpriced and bland food.

Very unique place, good vibe. The food seems homemade, my Avocado Caprese was super delicious, I would highly recommend it, not very filling but very good in taste. The salmon scramble with biscuit and side of gravy, it was good, tastes like country food. All made in house.
Parking: Free street parking but good luck finding parking
I've tried the entire menu. This place is crazy expensive. The food is good and there's 2 good waiters(the gal and the shorter guy) the rest are rude and disrespectful and act like they don't want you there. There's also a cook who came out periodically and said disrespectful stuff about the customers. He's a skinny white dude.👎👎
My personal favorite biscuits and gravy
