  I drove from the city to visit my cousin for breakfast who had just moved to town, we decided to try this place out for breakfast. The food was great, but the service I felt was poor. My waitress was "Evelyn20", it felt like she just wanted to rush us the entire time. It's a shame because I am a good tipper and still left 25% because I know how tough it can be in the service industry. Yet she wasn't too pleasant so it prompted me to leave this review. She took our order and halfway through our meal brought over the check when we weren't ready for it nor asked for it. Our water jug was empty and my coffee mug went unfilled the rest of the hour we were there. She never checked up on us for the rest of the day after dropping the check and attending to the new tables. I had to signal over to the manager just to get one refill on my coffee. I noticed the other waiters walking around with mugs refilling their tables so I'm sure not everyone is like that there. She also never asked if we wanted a box for our food and after some attempts I couldn't flag her down and just left the rest of my food there. She didn't even say thanks or good bye. Not sure why the rush either, there were plenty of empty tables at 2pm. Diners in the city have more of a homely breakfast feel about them, I felt like these folks didn't want our business and I didn't feel welcome.

  The Jam n' Jelly Cafe is absolutely amazing! The food was phenomenal and we will definitely be back. Our server had a wonderful balance of remaining attentive but also letting us enjoy the evening.

  Lots of menu choices, great food and friendly service. I've been going here for a few years and have never been disappointed. They can be busy on the weekends but the line moves quickly and once you're seated they don't rush you.
  
  They have reduced the menu, undoubtedly due to Covid, and it's just not the same.

  My friend and I ate here yesterday and both of us were pleased. The chicken salad sandwich and tomato basil soup are delicious. You could put grapes in your chicken salad to improve it - or even orange zest or almonds. My only complaint is the scratched to hell glasses. I've never seen such scratched glasses EVER. It makes them look dirty as well. We were immediately given newer unscratched glassware as soon as I pointed this out to the server. Also, the word " sandwiches" is misspelled on your menu. There should not be an "h" after the "w". Nevertheless, the food, atmosphere and cleanliness are superb. And the staff are attentive and actually SMILE!. We will return.
