Photos: Jelly

Mark Manger

Jelly packs in crowds on the weekend, when it seems that everyone living in a reasonable radius jams the front of the restaurant, sipping peppermint schnapps-laced cocoa and red beer while they wait for a table. It's proof that owners Christina Smith and Josh Epps knew what they were doing when they set out to give Denver a hip, creative breakfast joint where, once you get past the masses, the food is pretty good, too.

Here, to go with my review this week, is a serving of photos.
