Jam N Jelly Cafe - Darien

The cream of chicken soup is insane!!! I come here just to have a bowl or 2. All the skirts are also amazing!!!

My wife?s family regularly meets at this place for weekend breakfasts, which I just don?t understand. All the meals are undercooked and bland, the interior layout is strange and always crowded, and service from the staff is quite inconsistent withlong waits to fill coffee.

I loved this restaurant for a few years. However, my last 2 visits were not good. I went with one other person, and both times our breakfast was verging on burnt and the flavor was not good. We didn't finish nor take anything home. We also got upsetstomachs both times. Not sure what happened to their quality but we decided to not come back.

Our server was not attentive. My husband sat with no coffee for 20 minutes before he had to stand up and ask a different server for some. Then once he finished that cup it was another 20 minutes before he got a refill. My mom's food had a short black hairin it (they did take it off the bill). We didn't see the owner/manager who we used to see all the time. Maybe that's why thingsseem to have declined.

Placed an order for pickup with the time saying 20 minutes. We got there by that time and ended up waiting AN ADDITIONAL 40 MINUTES. If you?re that backlogged, set the expectation for the customers! No one would even tell us how much longer. I couldnot believe we had to wait that long for a to-go order. We could have sat down inside the restaurant in that time. Such aterrible experience at this location.
