Claire LuhmanSeptember 13, 2015This is the coolest trendiest 60s 70s themed restaurant. We got the Lemon and Maple bacon donuts that weren't all that great but the cinnamon sugar is delicious. Check out the decor and restrooms. :)
NickJanuary 11, 2016Awesome place. My favorite donut was the Thai Peanut with PB and Sriracha. Pictured is the amazing and unique Molly Hot Brown with eggs over easy, a savory french toast
Hannah CopelandMarch 11, 2017I had the breakfast burrito! Was tasty and filling with pulled pork, lots of egg, and topped with green Chile. I wish the breakfast potatoes were crispy, but that's just a personal thing. Good service
Arrive before the big rush. @JellyCafe opens at 7am and stays open until 3pm, 7 days a week. Lines don't form until about 8am. It's a testament to popularity of Jelly. Say hi to Josh & Christine.
- Melissa CaseJuly 28, 2014The food is so good, it totally balances out the super hipsterness of the place. The donut bites are AH-mazing, fan coffee, Benedicts to DIE for.
EmilyApril 10, 2016Everything here was delicious: the drinks, the donut holes, and the scrambles and the biscuits. I would return in a heartbeat.
- If here for lunch, you need to try the Molly Hot Brown. It's a classic that won't let you leave hungry. Be on the lookout for @caseytduncan since you're definitely in his 'hood.
Roberto Bruder AguiarOctober 20, 2015Great atmosphere and great food. The selection of eggs Benedict is great. You can't go wrong with any choice.
Usaj RealtyJanuary 23, 2016Order some Donut Bites and the Sweet Potato Hash. The 80's cereal boxes adorning the walls gives this place an awesome retro vibe.
Zee AmaroAugust 31, 2018Great foods. It's a bit hipstery and there is usually a wait but if it's a shott wait, I think it's absolutely worth it. Known for the donut bites.
Kevin RipperApril 6, 2015If they have Chicken and Waffles, get that. Goes well with bottomless mimosas, mainly because bottomless mimosas go really with every single thing.
Jenna RohrOctober 5, 2020Doughnuts are amazing, especially the maple bacon one. The bloodys and southern biscuits and gravy were also really good. Worth the wait
Tremendous food!! It was worth the crowded seating and loudness to partake of the deliciousness! Also, the jelly was the bomb, on a biscuit with whipped butter. It was reminiscent of peach cobbler.
Jordan WhiteOctober 4, 2014Great atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese wasn't very warm but otherwise we can't wait to come back. Great menu options for vegetarians!
Rachel EisenFebruary 17, 2017The donut bites were dense not fluffy and my main dish definitely cared more about quantity than quality which led to me eating way more calories than I wanted for food I only kind of enjoyed.
Known for their donut bites. How you feel about them depends on your sweet tooth: if you're not already craving them, having some won't change your mind.
RaynaMarch 23, 2015Everything is good here! Bottomless mimosas, chorizo sweet potato hash, donuts. Favorite brunch in Denver- Casey DuncanOctober 19, 2013My bet is on the Boulder Scramble & homemade biscuits. Don't forget to grab some donut holes before you go!
Ally ShwedMay 10, 2016The pancakes! The lavender blueberry are the best, but try a sampler of all 3. Good veg options, too.
Angelina ZeppieriJanuary 22, 2017Great breakfast / brunch spot, a block away from Molly Brown House.
Timothy EllensNovember 11, 2016Grabbing a cup of coffee and a few of the jelly pastries was a great way to kill a 45 minute wait for a table.
Lorraine SMay 8, 2012One of the best brunch places I've ever been to!! So cute inside with the vintage cereal boxes. MUST TRY: homemade donuts & the breakfast sliders!!!!- John BrestinApril 8, 2021Everything was amazing. Salmon Benny, Espresso, OJ and donut bites - all fantastic!
Brownstone Living NYCSeptember 10, 2016Lots of healthy options. I like to sub egg whites and spinach instead of cheese.
DenverPostJuly 1, 2011Hip breakfast and lunch joint. Try the pancakes with crumbled bacon (yes, really) for breakfast and the deviled egg salad sandwich for lunch. Entrees $7-$10. "More Info" for review: Read more
C JohnsonSeptember 1, 2017The donut holes are made to order, so they are warm and gooey inside and crispy outside. Yummers.Can't say the same for the fries that were soggy.
Laura HighOctober 15, 2012Super nice staff and a net set up. The donuts are awesome and the Frosted Flake and banana pancakes are worth a trip across town!!
John DohertyApril 25, 2015Awesome brunch spot. The wait was a bit long but worth it for pork belly hash.
CS_just_CSNovember 16, 2015The stuffed French toast and southern biscuits and gravy are delicious. Bottomless mimosas!
- CS_just_CSNovember 18, 2015The cinnamon sugar donut holes and bottomless mimosas were the topping in a fantastic breakfast.
Whit MaullFebruary 4, 2017Cool vintage nerd vibe and chicken chilaquiles that are pretty out of this world.- Todd GrayOctober 20, 2014Best cafe in Denver. Small little cafe but its really good. Great sandwich as well!
Prometheus TrotskyDecember 21, 2013Salmon Benedict is awesome! Always good, reasonable wait for small cap hill spot. Thanks Jelly for always rockin it in the am.- Try the granola yogurt with fruit. It's healthy and tasty.
Jessica JohnsonAugust 13, 2013I can't have dairy so my awesome waiter brought me a delicious fruit cup while my friend had the doughnuts. #thatswhaticallservice
Sam SchillingNovember 15, 2013Holy hell, it's hipster heaven! Great food, but they played the electronic music WAY to loud, it was hard to enjoy the meal
The good bartenders here will make you a Capitol Hill Testicle if you ask nice. It's a mixed shot served with a cherry.- Brooke GladstoneJuly 15, 2013Be prepared for a wait on the weekend. But well worth it. Try the frosted flake banana pancakes, delish!
So, Katie and Kiki are great. You might want to pass on anything with hollandaise, asparagus or french toast, they may be out, just kidding
The meatloaf hash is AMAZING! Meatloaf, roasted red pepper, red potatoes, and spinach topped with 2 eggs of your choice.. Can't go wrong...
- Arrive early or expect a wait. Sometimes...arrive early AND expect a wait.
I love this place - yummy & cap hill really needed it. There's usually a wait on weekends and the food can be kinda slow to arrive, but otherwise LOVE!
