Jelly Cafe Palatine

Great breakfast place. Food is very good and service is wonderful. New ownership has done a great job. They dress breakfast up nicely.

Great food and service. Reasonable prices and adequate portions. Everything the establishment prior to this wasn't. The lox and bagel plate is heaven, Reuben sandwich is excellent. Glad to have a good place close to home!

Love it now after the transition. Amazing quality food and they made the prices more reasonable! Can always get in on a weekend with no wait.

Some people say you can’t screw up breakfast, they are not breakfast people. Jelly Cafe is awesome. Fluffy not greasy omelette, crisp warm belgian waffle, corned beef hash was awesome, their fruits are fresh, house made jelly fantastic and the service was 5 star!

Good new place with a very comfortable atmosphere. Rose, our server, was so friendly, warm, attentive, and accommodating. I love her! Ordered the beignets for a starter and they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The berry jam that it was served with put it over the top. So good! I also ordered the chicken and waffles, which is dangerous for me because that is one of my favorite dishes that I order at restaurants whenever it's on the menu. At Jelly it's served with gravy. Don't get the gravy. It doesn't really go with the dish. What makes chicken and waffles so good (to me) is a waffle paired with savory chicken and a sweet sauce/syrup. The salty gravy makes more sense with biscuits and gravy, which is also on the menu. The chicken had way too much breading which made it a little difficult to eat. I doused everything with maple syrup and all was well with the world. But what do I know ?! Maybe others like it the way it's served at Jelly.

Overall, a really good place and will return!
