This place was decent, comfortable, attentive staff, good value pricing. Would not recommend the doughnuts. My toast was not toasted, potatoes undercooked and "ham" is deli ham. Coffee not great. Eggs, bacon, fruit were good. read more

We were in Denver to see Crowded House and had breakfast at Jelly Cafe, which was near our Airbnb. Everything we tried was delicious. I had the cornflake french toast with berries - crunchy exterior, great berry compote, perfectly cooked. My husband went for the bacon jalapeno corn pancakes - a wonderful blend of salty/sweet/spicy goodness. Their coffee (dh had drip, I had a latte) was excellent. I didn't get any pictures of the vintage cereal boxes which decorate the restaurant, but they have some very cool '80s movie and music posters adorning the restroom. 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

I wish I had tried some donut bites! Great service here, fast and friendly! Coffee was delicious, my northwest scramble was very filling and helped with the bit of altitude sickness I was feeling since I had just flown into Denver to visit. I loved the retro decor and vibe of the restaurant! Definitely recommend for breakfast and brunch. read more

Really great place with fast, friendly service!! Came as a group of four day after Thanksgiving for breakfast. The Chilaquiles were amazing, and the fried rice breakfast was deeee-licious!!! Love the retro cereal boxes on the walls, also. Very GF friendly. read more

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

I had the Pueblo (w/ gf toast), chai latte, and the gluten free jelly bites. The meal was a little under-seasoned but the jelly bites were very good. I wouldn't recommend the chai latte, tasted more like cinnamon water. read more

I have been to Jelly's numerous times as well ordering their meals through DoorDash. their customer service is friendly and the foods is delicious. I love their their Donut Bytes especially the gluten-free bytes. I took my daughter and her family for brunch and they had a blast! read more

We stopped in while waiting for a car repair. It is a great neighborhood spot with a local vibe. Loved the decor with the diner feel. Had the veggie benedict and it was delicious. The potatoes came out cold but they immediately let the kitchen know and it was fixed right away. I'm never worried when something comes out as an ooops but I truly appreciate when the staff addresses it immediately. The hot brown sounds amazing and we will definitely be back to try it. read more

This place had one of the best corned beef hash I've ever had. The beef was shredded, juicy and had incredible texture. Also very well seasoned! Highly recommend this dish! read more

Jelly - Corn Corned Beef Hash* - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I'm not the biggest brunch person, but this place certainly caught my attention. The service is great, and the food is good. The place was busy when I went, but it's really great that they have the Yelp waitlist available so that people don't have to wait 2+ hours outside. That said, they do have to-go options available with a number of espresso drinks and even their uniquely flavored donut bites! They have a pretty extensive menu. I ordered their sweet potato hash, which I thought was great! I do love their in-house jelly and the hot sauces they provided. My friend ordered the chilaquiles with red chile that she also enjoyed. While I thought the donut bites were fun, I do not think I would order them again. They are all the same base (plain) with various icings. The mexican chocolate was a fun flavor, as was the creme anglaise. I would not recommend the Thai peanut, but perhaps I am biased as I associate this flavor with spring rolls, not necessarily for dessert items. They also had a seasonal menu that seemed fun, though I did not order anything from it. Many of their sweeter brunch items, including their cocktails, also seemed promising that I would like to return and try out. read more

This place is a mood. They have a virtual waitlist and usually if you come before it being your turn - they sit you right away. It's a nice little spot in the neighborhood with the cutest hipster staff. Everyone is friendly and trendy af. I've been here multiple times now and here is my advice: skip the mini donuts - do yourself a favor and get the cinnamon roll pancakes. Warm and gooey and the flavor is just immaculate. The corned beef hash is amazing as well and both of these dishes are perfect to share for a little sweet and savory. I've also gotten the chiliquiles here as well and they were great. We will continue coming here as long as we live nearby :) read more

Solid brunch spot with good food that my friend and I love to come to when visiting Denver. The cinnamon roll pancakes taste exactly like you hope they would and melt in your mouth.

I've lived here for just over a year now and love coming to this neighborhood breakfast spot. I love that it opens early where random singles like me can enjoy social breakfast counter life. The service is super friendly and chill. I really like seeing the same people working there. It makes it feel very neighborhoody. I like having a breakfast or brunch cocktails there with friends from the neighborhood. It's such a cute fun place and financially accessible! They have an open mic night that I WILL attend at some point!! read more

Absolutely amazing! The donut holes (bites) were so great! Especially with a cocktail! The service was great as well, the staff is so friendly! I definitely would like to come here and just sit at the counter and have a morning cocktail! The cereal box decor made the place feel so retro in a good way! They also sell really fun magnets with fun retro cereal boxes! The only reason I knocked off a star is because my chilaquile chips were a little stale and they didn't have all the drink options on the menu. I really wanted the cookie cocktail but unfortunately they couldn't make it. Hoping to come back and have it! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE. went for brunch, awesome menu options. I never see corn beef hash anywhere! So I HAD to order. And wowwwww I cannot recommend more. Friend got French toast and egg special with biscuit. All of the food was really fantastic. They also had fresh jelly accompanying. Really cute vibes, 50s diner meets 70s psychedelic meets millennial. Also have two bathrooms. Really loved our waiter, took great care of us. read more

This was a good place to visit in Denver. We pooped in before a walking tour. We started with the donut holes and tried different flavors. I really liked the salted caramel. I had the chilaquiles which were good but not the best I have had but still tasty. The pancake was nice and fluffy. This was a cute spot to stop in and if I lived in the area I would return. read more

I visited Jelly on a Tuesday afternoon during my recent trip to Denver. The food was solid and I'd certainly return the next time I'm there. The Donut Bites were worth trying!!! I highly recommend trying the salted caramel and maple bacon (I think that's the name). They were my favorite. The cinnamon sugar and jelly flavored donuts were ok. I ordered a pineapple mimosa and a smoked salmon benedict. I almost ordered another beverage after reading a review on the price of mimosas and the lack of alcohol. Perhaps I had a heavy-handed bartender because my mimosa certainly gave me a buzz. The benedict was cooked to perfection. The smoked salmon was packed with flavor and the poached egg and hollandaise sauce brought it altogether very well. I could have done without the potatoes on the side. They were bland, cold, and flavorless. Overall, Jelly is a solid business and the customer service was great. The restaurant is somewhat small (from what I could tell), and the seating was limited. There was an outside patio section that could possibly sit a large group. Give it a try!!! read more

This spot came highly recommended by a friend for my first trip to Denver. Overall, I had a good experience and would also recommend this spot as a brunch spot if you're in town for a few days. When we walked in, the nostalgia hit right away. The aesthetic of the diner was so eclectically charming! Colorful walls with vintage cereal boxes were framed along the wall. We ordered: 1) Breakfast Burrito: massive, filling, and delicious. 2) Southern Biscuit: classic comfort food, be ready for a nap 3) Cinnamon Roll Pancake: this might be one of the best things I've ever had. Don't pass this up and just get a side of 1 pancake to have a bite. 4) Bloody Mary: yes, yes, yes! The Breakfast Burrito was a solid choice, and was HUGE. The biscuit and gravy did not disappoint and was sooo buttery. Their Bloody Marys were really good too - highly recommend a spicy one, or two :) One thing I wish I tried was their Donut Bites, but wasn't too sad when I heard they were sold out of nearly every flavor. I noticed was the staff genuinely enjoying working there, and alongside one another. Love that! Pro tip: get in "line" virtually through Yelp and show up in time to be seated. read more

Excellent homemade biscuits. Delicious blueberry jelly. Eggs just right. Weakest coffee I've had in many years--awful.

I LOVE breakfast and usually enjoy any breakfast/brunch experience, but my experience at Jelly was truly phenomenal! The service, ambiance, unique decorations and exceptional menu really stood out to me. You can add yourself to the digital waitlist using the Yelp app, which was an awesome time saver since the wait was crazy long. That way you can walk around or get a coffee while you wait. The menu had so many options and I loved all of the vegan/vegetarian options! There is something for everyone here and all of the dishes are so original. Even the vegan breakfast burrito which came topped with a jackfruit chili. My bf ordered that and I was blown away by the melody of flavors when I tried it. It's always hard for me to resist eggs Benedict but I opted for the Aztec hash because it looked so amazing and like nothing I'd ever seen before! It was made with wild rice, pomegranates which added sweetness amongst the spice and savory flavors, potatoes, sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. All topped with eggs and a side of toast with jelly, I got sweet, savory, wholesome and delicious in one meal! I devoured every bite and honestly can't wait to come back and try more items (like the donut bites or cinnamon roll pancake!) read more

Everything about our experience here 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. read more

Jelly is SUCH good vibes. I came here on a Tuesday brunch date and thought the old school diner feel was refreshing. There isn't much seating, so I can see the restaurant getting super packed on the weekends. While I appreciate the convenience of a QR code menu, I loved seeing the donut bite flavors advertised above the barstool area. We started with "actual" food--I got the Eggs Benedict. Love that the eggs are "lovingly poached" and paired with smoked ham and hollandaise atop sourdough bread. Classic but so good. We got a whole plate of donut bites to share, with flavors including Mexican Chocolate, Cinnamon & Sugar, Salted Caramel, Thai Peanut, Jelly, Lemon, and Maple Bacon. Luckily my date and I liked different donut flavors and got to savor the ones we really wanted. Service was friendly. Apparently there's outdoor seating as well, but it was too chilly the day we went to notice. Great balance of sweet and savory foods here. Would love to come back and try the pancake varieties and hashes. Or bring a few friends and share everything! read more

The brunch here is wonderful! The eggs Benedict was delicious and I liked how it's served on soft sourdough bread. The hollondaise sauce is amazing and the breakfast potatoes come with sour cream and chives. The blueberry pancakes were great too! The vanilla latte was one of the best I've had! They have a beautiful outdoor space which allowed us to enjoy the falling autumn leaves. The service there is also very nice! I highly recommend and would love to go back. read more

Alex, Patrick & Nick always treat me with the highest level of service. They are top notch. Jelly is my neighborhood brunch spot. The food is yummy, the mimosas hit the spot, and of course the service is out of this world. Often times, Jelly has a bit of a wait, so I recommend placing yourself on the waitlist, or reservations ahead of time! This is a cute small brunch restaurant with a slice of an outdoor patio. The food is perfectly eccentric, tasty, and the presentation is always perfect. I would consider myself a regular now. I would recommend trying the donut-filled holes. They have tons of different flavors! Some make your tongue flip! The Eggs Benedict hits right every time and my favorite scrambler is the Aztec! So full of grains, potatoes, and yumminess. If you are in cap hill, and looking for brunch go to Jelly! Make sure you tell her Starr sent you! read more

Went there for breakfast at the urging of a friend and had the best veggie breakfast burrito ever! A little spicy, but not too much.

I thought Jelly would be another brunch location with the usual pancakes, egg Benedict, and potatoes. But what truly sets Jelly apart from other brunch places are those mini donuts. They are made to order so the donuts come out hot. I don't think I've had a warm donut before unless I had to toast it up myself. The donut fillings were so unique and delicious. The donuts alone are worth a to-go box to bring home with you. The restaurant is quite cute with the cereal boxes. Parking can be difficult. Be prepared to walk. There's a line with a waitlist so plan accordingly and don't wait while you're hangry or else you'll be upset. read more

Ahmazing! Started off with 12 donut holes. The Mexican chocolate & raspberry are by far my favorite! The coffee drinks were delicious. The coffee was strong, but not bitter or burnt tasting. The corned beef is house made & perfection! It's shredded & has the perfect amount of flavor & salt. Our server was attentive & made sure we enjoyed everything about the visit. Decor is upbeat, modern & fun. They have lots of old school music posters up throughout. The patio is nice as well. read more
