Food were great, looks good and taste even better. We've had Country Fried Steak, the works skillet, Crab Benny and much more. With freshly squeezed orange juice and mimosas.Service was amazing, Patrick and the others were so great, attentive and accommodating. We appreciate you all!Ambience was chic, clean and modern.

Checked out Jelly Cafe the other weekend. Upon entering, the place was packed, but I was solo and they did have some tables available right away. This place is super popular on the weekends and there were a lot of large groups including a little league team and a family with some very unhappy children. This made for a loud atmosphere, but the servers did their best to keep everything under control. Although this wouldn't be my preference, the overall experience was still good. Luckily, the family with the screaming kids left shortly after I arrived and the little league team had adults supervising who reminded them to use inside voices.Onto the food. The steak and eggs dish was reasonably priced ($18) and came with potatoes and french toast. The server warned me that the steak was a thinner skirt steak and probably wouldn't be medium rare. She was correct, but it was still well flavored and tender overall. The eggs were really tasty. The yolks were delish, and I'm not usually a yolk person. The french toast was also tasty and well seasoned, just the right combo of creamy and crisp. The potatoes looked like they would be bland, but they actually had a ton of flavor. The unsweetened iced tea was great too, nice and strong. Despite the rush, servers checked in frequently and were very helpful. I would definitely return in the future.

I ordered their smoked salmon Benedict, which I think they only serve during certain times of year. I'm very pleased with the food. The salmon had a pleasant, smokey scent and was quite delicate. Arugula gave the perfectly cooked poached eggs a pleasant, bitter taste. Their French toast cinnamon roll was phenomenal.

I really enjoyed Jelly Cafe!Asked the waiter to pick between pancakes and French toast and ended up French toast. Was great. Also had a side of Theo corned beef hash. Small side but hit the spot. Service was friendly and attentive, invited me to stay, take calls and keep the coffee flowing. Had a comfortable booth and was pretty busy for a Thursday morning. Would go back for sure

I am revising my review to my experience the saturday before Christmas. I ordered the upcharge of tortilla soup with my lunch. It was nothing like it was a few years back. It was verrry thick, very spicy. When waitress, Barbara, returned with the strips for the soup she forgot, I told her I was unable to eat it. She took it back and brought me fries. Receiving my check I noted she did not remove the upcharge for the soup when I asked her to bring me a correct check she grabbed it, huffed, mumbling to herself and stormed away. Me and the others at my table, who were on a separate check, were dumbfounded. When she returned I calmly said, you have a problem with getting me a new check?!! She gave me a dirty look and again huffed mumbling away.I've come often in 17 years and always had good experiences until now!! (I.e very tall waiter, excellent). This was a bad experience and I wanted her to explain what the problem was and instead her huffing off for the 2nd time, made the bad experience worse.Doubt I'll be back.

The Jelly Cafe is truly a breakfast haven, and their Eggs Benedict are a standout gem on the menu. When I ordered this classic breakfast dish, I wasn't quite prepared for just how exceptional it would be. The Eggs Benedict at the Jelly Cafe were a delightful masterpiece, and every bite was pure bliss.What made the experience so special was the perfection of each element: the eggs were flawlessly poached, the Canadian bacon was savory, and the hollandaise sauce was rich and velvety. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and the presentation was nothing short of eye-catching.This cafe has mastered the art of making Eggs Benedict, and their attention to detail and culinary expertise shine through in every plate they serve. It's a place where you can count on the classics being prepared to perfection, making breakfast at the Jelly Cafe an unforgettable experience. If you're a fan of this beloved breakfast dish, you won't be disappointed here.

Right off the bat it has nice interior. Very bright, lots of wood and flowers. And a huge jelly sign at the back. Service was good. Woman was very kind and reassuring to getting our dishes delivered to us asap. Asked me many questions and made sure we were okay.Their menu is very cheap, and they have many good options so it was difficult to choose from. The servings were pretty small for the steaks. Probably explains why their prices are so low.The food was alright. I would come back once and a while but it doesn't beat my favorite breakfast place. It is kind of small. But their food isn't bad.To be honest, I would reccomend coming here. Their prices are cheap, and the food isn't bad.

I had a good breakfast at Jelly Cafe in Mt Prospect, IL. The service and atmosphere was good. After I placed my order, the food was ready fairly quickly. I enjoyed the saltiness of the corned beef mixed with the over easy eggs. The seasoned potatoes were also good and made the breakfast complete. My pancakes were flavorful and somewhat dense. Nothing was spectacular about this breakfast, but everything was solid.

Checked out a breakfast joint for an early Saturday bite on a poet friend's recommendation. Met up at the strip mall location and was surprised to see a many cars in the parking lot. So this place must be good!Got seated right away as we were early before the crowds came in. Get there by 9am or it will be a fairly long wait. Waiter was super friendly and quick to point out specials for the day, get us watered and caffeinated with a pitcher of coffee. The service was on point and didn't miss a beat.I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and over medium eggs. The accompanying biscuit was heavily buttered which melded well with the house-made berry jam. My dining partner ordered a massive Breakfast Quesadilla---huge--and he ended up taking half home! Everything, short of the breakfast potatoes, was excellent. I should've ordered hash browns instead of House Potatoes which were chunks of potatoes without any flavor---the Louisiana Hot Sauce is there for a reason apparently. The interior was clean, spaced out, and a bit noisy with families---a good sign if you have littles which need to grub. The two-top table was a bit small, so ask for a perimeter table if you're ordering a whole breakfast spread. All-in-all, The Jelly Cafe does a good job of catering to neighborhood brekkie hunters. Try the signature Jelly Stuffed French Toasted---looked awesome! Get there early and enjoy the food & service. We'll pop back in soon...and bring friends. Kudos to The Jelly Cafe!
