Told by locals and friendly travelers that the decision between Jelly Cafe and Syrup was largely a matter of personal preference and whether family-friendly or hip-and-trendy was most appealing it was actually location that took me to Jelly Cafe on Wednesday morning, the 80s Soundtrack, Man-buns and Sleeves of Ink confirming comments about the scene, though everyone from host to servers was actually far more pleasant and well trained than similar spots in other states.
Featuring a fun menu of Breakfast and Lunch favorites plus a handful of Daily Specials in a Diner-Style room with Old-School Cereal boxes decorating the walls, it was a young woman in glasses and a skulled apron that served as my waitress for the morning, coffee from nearby Pablo’s filled repeatedly with even a cup to go.
Unable to pass on the fresh donuts, each hole either topped or filled with something quite distinct, a ‘large’ order of eight was selected to the tune of $5, the Spicy Peanut and Matcha Anglaise each unique and inspired while the Maple Bacon and Cinnamon Sugar were both unfortunately a bit too heavy with grease.
Offering several breakfasts, both sweet and savory, the majority offered in a la carte portions for those willing to invest a bit more in variety than just one thing, it was with little indecision that three individual pancakes were selected in addition to a housemade biscuit, the later separating in layers of soft buttermilk while each flapjack was light and fluffy, the Bacon-studded version not particularly imaginative while the spiraled Cinnamon Roll and Lavender Blueberry rounds were both quite pleasant, the toppings adding to their respective bases without overwhelming the aromatic subtleties.
