Always a great place to eat. Better than snooze which is good but a little played out. Also never too busy.

really cute and chill cafe! i love the retro decor and their original spins on classic foods. got the iced coffee and veggie burrito and it was delicious. i couldn’t believe the chili on top was vegan. our waiter was so sweet we told him it was our first time and he gave us fresh little donuts! definitely recommend for a cute little brunch date.

This is for their Cap Hill Location:

Everything about our experience was ABSOLUTELY HUMILIATING and HORRIBLE! Their website says they are pet friendly but they are the complete opposite of this. I trusted what they announced on their website and brought my doodle. When I got there they said I couldn't be there with my dog and they guided me to their outdoor seating area. I assumed we would be sitting in the outside seating area where everyone else was, but instead they sat us on the street sidewalk, where they had 2 tables next to a homeless man that was doing chalk work on the sidewalk and yelling a whole bunch of slang. I didn't feel comfortable at all and was confused why we didn't sit in their outdoor seating area since at other restaurants they all have let us sit there. When they brought out the food, we saw an empty table inside the outdoor seating area so we moved our plates to sit inside. The waitress came out fast and started telling us we couldn't sit there because it was against Colorado law to have guests with dogs in their outdoor seating area. This seemed ridiculous to me so I told her this situation had never happened to me at other restaurants in CO. She was extremely rude and told us the 20+ places I have been to in Colorado didn't enforce the law but that Jelly did. She then tried forcing us to move back saying she would move our plates back and got her hands out to grab our plates from us. I told her I didn't want to move back and that I had lost my appetite from how they were treating us. I told her I couldn't eat the food anymore. She quickly snatched the food and we got up to leave. We couldn't believe how unprofessional they were. We stood at the corner of the street to figure out the new plans for breakfast and another of their waiters came out to start yelling at us that they had found accomodations for us and that we should be ashamed we ordered and not paying for the meals. It felt like he was trying to gaslight us when at the end of the day their accommodations were not very accomodating.

Anyway I called my husband on my drive back home and asked him if he knew about this colorado law that doesn't allow pets on outdoor seating areas. He looked it up and was as I had thought. They were completely BS'ing us about the whole dogs not being allowed in outdoor seating areas. They actually are and from what I had seen the layout requirements did accommodate for this. For anyone with dogs or without dogs, please don't come here, they are actually not dog friendly and are very unprofessional with how they treat customers or just normal people. Will not be coming to any of their locations again.

Expensive for no reason. Portions and flavors not worth the money.

Our server was nice, but it was about ten minutes before he even made it to our table, which was exceedingly slow given that there only three other tables occupied in the whole place. Food took another 20 min or so, and everything was mediocre at best. They forgot our bacon order, and my poached eggs that I ordered “runny” were basically hard boiled. I also had to wait an additional ten minutes for my eggs to arrive at the table, after my rice bowl was delivered. No one ever offered us any additional coffee. I won’t be back.

I love the eggs benedict and french toast. Even when the place is packed, the folks working there are always courteous and efficient.

Love this place, food and service is always amazing! A little hectic when busy as it’s a small place but always worth the wait when there is one!
The Ultimate Biscuits and gravy add scrambled eggs is 🔥 and SUPER filling!

This is the second time I’ve come here and they only have one server and we’re way too busy for us and we were not allowed to sit outside, avoid this place. You’re a brunch restaurant and you only have one server at 10 AM… Goodbye.

Stopped in for breakfast. Grabbed a seat outside. Traffic is noisy, but I have an ability to tune it out, so while it annoyed my boyfriend a wee bit, I was too busy appreciating the nice weather to notice..🙃

The menu offers relatively unique items and I like that. I also noticed pancakes can be made gluten free for you celiacs out there. I ordered the corned beef hash, he ordered the Boulder, and together we ordered cinnamon sugar & lemon donut bites. Half cafe latte for his drink, which he enjoyed.

Donuts came out first. Cake donuts. Tasty. The lemon on the other hand.... 😐 Tasted a bit like applesauce with an over amount of lemon extract thrown in. I didn't like it at all. We both enjoyed the cinnamon.

E enjoyed his Boulder.
As for my hash.... It appeared, and tasted like, it was leftover from yesterday and reheated. The eggs were cooked well, but the potatoes were shriveled and hard as a rock. See side by side photo of one of his potatoes next to one of mine. There is another picture of my potatoes up close, but I didn't have a way of showing just how hard they were. The beef, though quite hard and dry, was tasty mixed with the egg and singular onion piece.

Our waiter was pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable.

Great breakfast spot; you just have to know what to get.

Great Place for a get together. Excellent breakfast options. I love the throw back vibe of this place.
