Jelly Roll Cafe in Tewkesbury

What lovely people! My dog and I were treated with such kindness. Lovely hot chocolate and crumble, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you.

Called in for a late breakfast after a chaotic morning this saturday & it was fantastic; A lovely warm welcome, husband’s full English was perfect with the best fried bread he’s ever had he said!Mine was scrambled eggs on toasted muffin & my fussy request for the eggs how I like them was not a problem & done perfectly. Flat white & a tea (with a good strength) was fab. It’s our 2nd time here and our favourite for breakfast now 😊

Lovely visit today with our dog. We both had jacket potatoes which were delicious as were the salad and coleslaw that came with. Pot of tea for 2 and a couple of dog treats and it was a beautiful Saturday treat. Such great prices. We will be back! Would love them to use real double cream rather than Elmlea just because of the vegetable oil in it but that’s a personal preference.

On street parking reasonably close by, very dogfriendly, with a great and varied menu which suited my vegetarian partner. We both had the all day breakfast, mine meaty and my partner’s veggie, which was not just fantastically cooked in the oven, but very reasonably priced with large portions…we were going to have one of the many lovely specials as a dessert but were simply too full. The decor and theme were interesting, the music was a reasonable volume and entirely to our liking (jazz), and the service was friendly and spot on. I cannot recommend this place too much. Our only disappointment was that we discovered it on the last day of our holiday, if we come back to Tewky, we will definitely return to this wonderful café.

What a lovely independent cafe, with great food, service and wonderful staff. If I lived nearby I’d become one of their many regulars.

A quick visit through Tewkesbury and breakfast at the Jelly Roll Cafe. Super friendly service in a comfy casual setting with light jazz music. We sat in the ground floor area, however upstairs seating is also available. We were impressed with the quality of the 'Full English' - it reminded me of my mom's home cooking. A generous man-size helping. Choice of wholemeal or white bread is offered. At the time of writing this review a full English is £9.50. Black pudding - Hash Browns were extra at 0.50p. I noted that there were many alternative options other than full English depending on one's appetite. The cafe's interior was spotless and the kitchen preparation was located at the rear. This is always a sure sign of sound hygienic practices. Plenty of beverage choice. I further noted the lunch-time options for another visit. Washroom upstairs, if required. We look forward to another visit soon. Our thanks Jelly Roll for your outstanding service and breakfast experience. Paul & Dave - Malvern.

Went for a family lunch, delicious and very reasonably priced with friendly service. Been here several times before - always good. Would recommend the Welsh rarebit!

Excellent Hospitality and Breakfast! We are warmly welcomed along with our dog. Food was well prepared and presented. I would definitely recommend it.

A lovely surprise, staff very welcoming and food excellent. Came across by accident and really happy we did. Highly recommended

First visit today. I had the cheese ploughman's lunch and it was fantastic. It was prepared by someone who cared about what they were doing. It was delicious and extremely good value. My partner had a sausage and egg sandwich which was also delicious. The tea was perfect as was the service. We will definitely call in again. Highly recommended, thank you. Allyn Griffiths and Ann Hughes.

Very poor service horrible rude staff really need to learn some manners what makes it worse is it was the owner being rude

We went for breakfast early on a Friday morning before leaving Tewkesbury. I had the veggie breakfast but was allowed to swap my sausage for bubble and squeak - very good. My husband had the big breakfast with extra bubble and squeak and said it was the nicest breakfast he'd had out in ages! Staff were lovely. Not sure about the music but I guess if you go to a jazz cafe you're gonna get jazz 😆

Highly recommend. Excellent service, friendly, wonderful staff. Food was lovely, home made and comforting. Music playing was great.

Quirky, fun cafe serving great food. Enjoyed meeting the team that make this place buzz. Great food, we had breakfast but would like to return for lunch when back in the area.

A slightly eccentric but very Charming music themed cafe. Traditional breakfasts with good portions.

We have been here twice in the past month. Both times having a freshly cooked breakfast. Absolutely delicious and great service. Look out for a great jazz theme! Nice....

A lovely cafe, fresh home-made food, brilliant service and great Wi-Fi! Never been to the JellyRoll Cafe before and I will definitely be back. I ordered a hot chocolate - which was a large mug and delicious and then a BLT toasted sandwich with salad. The sandwich was perfect and the salad (unlike many other side salads) was a great size and super tasty. I can in with my laptop to work and straight away I was given the Wi-Fi code and it was super quick / worked perfectly.

we were looking for somewhere to eat so asked a local who recommed this place and it was excellent everybody was so friendly and honest ( i accidently left my camera behind) i went back later and they had seen it and put it somewhere safe, the food was excellent i would even say it was the best cheese and onion ommlette ive had. we went back the day before going home and had the same again and the food was just as good and the lovely lady reconnised us from the previous visit if we are back in this area we would go back here

Menu was great and varied so it was a struggle to decide what to have. In the end we ordered two "Big Band" full English breakfasts which were massive and cooked perfectly, very generous portions! Coffee cafetiere for two was more than we could manage but tasted lovely. Overall, yummy and great value for money -- if I lived locally, I'd be in here every week!

Wonderful home cooked food with attentive, helpful staff and a chef who's a real treasure. May look a little quaint from the outside but a visit will certainly not disappoint!

Had a couple of lunches here, both good, a roasted pepper and tomato soup one day and ploughmans the next one brie and one cheddar, washed down with coffees and a really nice pear juice. Staff were pleasant and friendly, but they did forget us a bit when we were upstairs, and lastly its the "jelly roll" as the owner loves jazz, so expect jazz playing while you eat

I attended today with two friends- lovely atmosphere met by member of staff who was very friendly- we each had sandwiches- they were delicious each served with a salad / coleslaw. They were freshly made from the most delicious granary bread. Worth a visit if your in Tewkesbury

What an absolutely wonderful place. Our newly found go to for breakfast and lunch when in town. The food is amazing, as is the service. Great selection of food, all cooked and served with love and passion......this clearly shows. WOW - who thought an omelette could look and taste soooooo good, as with the eggs benedict :) 5 ***** goes out to you all. Looking forward to our next visit.

Fantastic cafe, above average, delicious food and friendly, helpful staff. Definitely recommended. Came here as a party of six for breakfast and it was fantastic

It's a Jazz breakfast cafe. You order Jazz from the helpful staff. It's about the same price as you might pay for a regular breakfast. The jazz is delivered through the cafe speakers & in no time at all it arrives, accompanied by, goodness, a free breakfast. It was very good. My partner had an omelette which she said was the best ever. She would say that though, because she asked for, & got, a big fluffy & well cooked omelette. For my part, I hated it; I like my omelettes on the just cooked side of slimy. Coffee was good too, service, good, decor, all present & correct & fit for purpose. It's a Jazz breakfast cafe. It did what it said on the tin.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast today with incredible service from Debbie and the team at Jelly Roll… From start to finish booking in a group of 10 could not have been easier! Thank you so much for making us all welcome in your great cafe 😀

Am staying at a holiday let just 1 min from this cafe &mhave visited twice - would have been more but all tables full or reserved, obv has a very good reputation. Food, Service etc excellent - eggs Benedict but with mushrooms to die for. Seemingly they have live jazz playing from time to time would love to be around to attend one of those.

Was just passing though, and fancied a good breakfast. And this place was amazing. Had 2 Big Band breakfasts all was cooked very well. Also do a good flat white. Very reasonable price. Would recommend

Good choices of healthy options on menu. Always friendly and efficient service. Great music playing!!

We called in for lunch and got more than we expected. The cafe is little rough round the edges but the staff are nice, the portions were very generous and tasty and the atmosphere was pleasant. Would recommend this for reasonably priced lunches of tasty...

We had breakfast, it was very popular with bike riders and had a little music venue upstairs, we enjoyed our food and prices were good.

We were given a warm welcome and were soon seated upstairs. The food was delicious. Between us we sampled the Welsh rarebit, the bubble and squeak and an enormous piece of carrot cake. We all agreed we would definitely return very soon.

We visited this brilliant cafe today. Such a warm welcome for us including our dog. Brilliant food, friendly atmosphere and great price . What more could you want.

Lovely tea room friendly staff and sandwiches they were amazing well worth the detour we had ending up in stow on the wold will visit again when we are up this way best wishes from host parents for study abroad Josephine and paul 🥰

Turned up at 3pm for an all day breakfast only to be told they were stopping all cooked food How can u advertise an ‘all day breakfast’ and not serve it all day

Myself and my friends ate here last week whilst in town. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food, there was a couple full English, an ommelette which was amazing, bubble & squeek and everybody loved their food. Service was great, people chatty and helpful....

Staff were lovely! Deb welcomed us straight away and was so helpful. Food was delicious and great portion sizes. Music and atmosphere was brilliant. Such a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. Thank you! Definitely coming again!

Lovely place that we'll use again next time we're passing. Jazz themed cafe, with piped jazz as background music--thankfully no free form. Superb staff, simple food well prepared and delicious--they're fussy about ingredients. Fab salad dressing. It's an interesting place--highly recommended.

Super scrambled eggs and bacon on English muffin - not on the menu but 'a la carte' wasn't a problem. Largest cafetiere of fresh coffee for one I've ever been served. Friendly welcome and service.

Visited Monday 23rd August at around 9.55am. Extremely warm welcome by the young lady who was a complete natural with people and fitted in to the ambiance of the place which oozes charm and character. Food amazing. I had breakfast and then the apple and...

I had a lovely coffee and tea cake whist my poor husband had a vasectomy at Tewksbury hospital A robust strong coffee to take out and nutty flapjack put a big smile on his Chevy chase as he limped back to the car. Thanks Jelly...

My family and I enroute to Cornwall from Blackpool looked online for a good place to stop for breakfast , we came across this little gem , all our meals were spot on couldn't fault in any way , would definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!

We stopped here on our way for a day out to Weston-super-mare. We enjoyed it very much. My mum had scrambled egg on toast, my dad had poached egg on toast and I had a sausage sandwich. The food was delicious and filled us up....

What a truly delightful cafe this is. Whether you are after a quick drink or something more substantial, it appears to tick all of the boxes. The breakfast was a delight and I struggled to eat it all and my hot chocolate was excellent. My...

First time to Tewksbury, stopped at the Jelly roll cafe as the menu looked good. I had a fabulous Eggs Benedict my partner a toasted sandwich. Not very often you get a proper pot of coffee, which is just what you want for breakfast. Service...

Called in for brunch after viewing TA reviews. Friendly efficient staff directed to upstairs seating, as many tables were pre booked due to current covid situation. We ordered eggs benedict and mushroom and Stilton melt with salad and coleslaw. Ordered meals were very tasty, excellent...

High hopes for a lovely breakfast, reviews are generally good but today for me the breakfast was not good. My coffee was had 20 minutes before the breakfast was delivered with no free top up due to wait, mushrooms were hanging around too long so...

Brilliant little hidden gem. Fantastic food and friendly polite and fast service We sure will come back when next passing Tewksbury… worth the detour from the motorway

Today we called in to the jelly roll cafe I ordered a b l t sandwich boy the sandwich I was given was superb plenty of bacon fresh salad crunchy coleslaw bread was thick and fresh perfect. All our sandwiches where the same fresh crispy...

Family breakfast. Really friendly and cracking breakfast. Recommend. COVID friendly. Full English was spot on. Children (14,11) enjoyed. Toilets clean. Prices v reasonable.

My friend and I had a delicious lunch in this wonderful cafe on a cold, wet miserable day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lovely menu, I chose the jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw filling which was delicious and was accompanied by a...

Good service, good choice of lunches. I enjoyed a special Christmas crunchie hot chocolate ( many other specials available) Beautiful half-timbered historic building.

Lovely lunch. Popped in with the current wife whilst on a visit back to our home town. Remember this as The Ivy Leaf cafe. Entrance door was a bit tight for my wheelchair but once we were inside the staff were extremely efficient. Good choice...

Really good cafe. Great full English breakfast with 2 old mates before a 4 mile walk, along the Avon, to Twyning and then back to Tewkesbury.Food, coffee and service - friendly and efficient - all excellent. Highly recommended.

What a breakfast. Really cosy, warm and firendly staff, and the food was gorgeous. The quality was amazing

Debbie maneja un barco estrecho pero conserva el encanto, la buena comida, el buen servicio y un ambiente encantador que los cuatro que estábamos visitando Tewkesbury durante unos días, encontramos brillante.Así que, por favor, pruebe su lugar, ¡también prepara deliciosos almuerzos para llevar!Jane John Aldo e ImeldaMonmouth y Southampton

Vimos este pequeño café conduciendo y decidimos, solo por su nombre, almorzar allí. Qué pequeño café tan encantador. La dueña fue muy amable y no tuvo problemas para mezclar y combinar eventos de platos para satisfacer nuestro paladar. Ingredientes frescos y sabrosos.

Took advantage of the eat out for 50% off deal. We had a superb breakfast all freshly cooked and great quality

Bueno, al ver las críticas de Trip Advisor, pensamos en ver esto en lugar de una estación de servicio en la ruta a casa. Muy contento de haberlo hecho. Aunque la decoración podría mejorarse, ¿cuánto importa eso cuando el servicio / los propietarios están limpios? Menú excepcional. . . Ojalá viviéramos más cerca para probar más, no solo sonaba bien, lo que teníamos era hermoso, no podía culparlo. P. S Soy un cocinero razonable, me encanta mi comida si se hace bien, así que soy bastante crítico. Pruébelo usted mismo. Gracias por un jelly roll perfecto en boxes

Qué pequeño hallazgo fantástico. Cálida bienvenida del propietario. Decoración de jazz funky. Menú fuerte lleno de opciones. Tomé el desayuno "Big Band". Desayuno épico y vale la pena pagar diez chelines extra por la morcilla. Los huevos escalfados eran excelentes. La tostada tiene que ser la rebanada de pan tostada más bonita y gruesa que he probado con una generosa porción de mantequilla deliciosa. Saqué tres buenas tazas de té de la tetera. No hay mejor forma de empezar el día. Magnífico.

Sat outside in the sunshine, people watching. Had a lovely cappuccino and will return to sample something of the menu

Mi amigo y yo pedimos una bolsa de picnic (una muy buena idea para los meses de verano) ya que el clima era encantador y planeamos sentarnos junto al río en Tewkesbury. La comida era deliciosa y casera, recomendaría los rollitos de salchicha y la ensalada de col, pero todo estaba muy sabroso, me gustó el hecho de que prácticamente todo estaba empaquetado con envases reciclables. Solo he dado 4 en lugar de 5 porque era comida para llevar debido al cierre, así que no experimenté el café, pero definitivamente recomendaría la comida a otros y regresaría yo mismo.

Real quality lunches for gentlemen as well as ladies - and upstairs small children are entertained quietly.YThewre is always a warm welcome from the staff.

Came for a family lunch. Lovely food, great service and excellent value for money. Will definitely go again !

Hemos sido visitantes de Jelly Roll por más de 6/7 años, y siempre que estuvimos en el área. . . . Siempre visitamos sin falta.Una cafetería bellamente pintoresca, llena de encanto local y carisma. Para las personas que visitan una o dos veces al año, abrir la puerta y agacharse para entrar es como un abrazo amistoso a nuestro esperado regreso. Productos locales maravillosos, preparados con respeto en un ambiente familiar y comunitario. Local, de visita o de vacaciones: visite y pruebe la tarifa, es parte del encanto de Tewkesbury.

Tuve una maravillosa cena de Navidad de 3 platos en Jelly Roll Cafe con un amigo. La comida era exquisita y el personal es maravilloso. Siempre nos sentimos bienvenidos por Debbie y su chef. Sin mencionar su excelente gusto musical. Lo recomiendo de todo corazón a cualquiera después de una comida abundante. O en mi caso - 3!

Regularmente comemos y tomamos café en Jelly Roll cuando estamos en Tewkesbury. Debbie, la dueña, es una persona especial que no puede hacer lo suficiente para satisfacer a sus clientes con buena comida casera y proporcionar un lugar agradable para comer. Su personal es igualmente eficiente y capaz. . No puedo alabar demasiado, una buena experiencia en general.

Disfruté un desayuno aquí hace unos días. Mi hermano tomó el gran desayuno. Fue un valor increíble especialmente porque el producto era de alta calidad. Mis huevos revueltos en un panecillo también era genial.Fabuloso personal. Definitivamente volveremos esta vez para disfrutar del menú navideño

We had a lovely vegetarian breakfast and omelette here. The tea served tasted amazing. The two ladies serving us and preparing our food were lovely and the environment was very friendly and relaxed. I would recommend this place to anyone with young babies, our 9 month old loved it.

We returned to this cafe after having previously had a good meal.The menu is quite varied and a couple of specials are offered,I opted for my usual full English and wifey had a prawn sandwich.Both were excellent quality and of a good size.One little niggle is that my plate was cold which does not help hot food.The two hard working staff needed some help as a few people came in after us an quite rapidly a wait for food developed.This was a shame as the two people were trying hard.Given that the food was so good we will be returning.

Very welcoming staff, great sense of humour, really treated us like old friends, and absolutely delicious food. Will definitely be visiting again

Fantastic cafe... Breakfast is amazing, very clean and tidy.. great host.. we will be back next week Highly Recommend

Welcoming, Clean, Good Coffee & Food, attention to detail. Happened upon this place when meeting up one morning. Have returned with a different friend & shall go again.

Very friendly great food good choices excellent value for money where breakfast lunch or afternoon tea

A great little cafe with wonderful jazz music playing. Loved the salmon and broccoli quiche, and my husband enjoyed his shepherds pie.

My friend and I wanted a reasonably priced lunch before our trip to a nearby Spa. I remembered eating at Jelly Roll a few years ago with my daughter so we headed there and were not disappointed. We were warned there was a 15 minute wait because the cafe was so busy, but our food was worth the wait. Delicious tuna panini with a gorgeous side salad. Would definitely visit again. We were disappointed not to have time to stay for a slice of cake!

Popped in as passing through Tewkesbury with a friend. What a friendly welcome we got, and excellent carrot cake and coffee. Thank you

My daughter enjoyed an excellent cheese and ham sandwich. And my mother and I had a lovely cream tea. Loved the jazz music accompaniment.

My husband and I, both oaps were refused entry. We checked that there were empty tables and room to manoeuvre. There was a handful of customers who had already been served and nobody was waiting. I use an electric wheelchair and my husband advised me that it would be fine. When he turned round the man working there blocked the doorway and said they were very busy and refused to let us enter. In this day and age I am disgusted and would advise staying away from such a disgraceful establishment.

It's been a couple of years since I last reviewed the Jelly Roll. There have been changes - in staffing and the upstairs room has been redecorated for a start - but a lot remains the same, in particular the excellent food and the warm welcome every time we enter.

Best breakfast going very friendly staff Debbie and team are fantastic food is always freshly cooked

As a local this is our ‘go to’ place for Full English breakfast, or scrambled eggs. It is just off the High Street in Barton street and is very popular- reservation is a good idea but we are usually lucky and get a table. The food is freshly cooked and so delicious. You sometimes have a short wait but it’s worth it. There is a child friendly area upstairs where there are a few toys, books and colouring books, we have taken our grandchildren a few times and they are always made welcome.

My son and his young family called into this establishment a couple of days ago and were what I can only describe as being treated with utter contempt.

A charming and very warm welcome everythime I get there! Brilliant choice of food and drinks, service is perfect - just love that place! Looking forward to see you soon again!

Lovely little café with friendly staff and Good food at reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. All food cooked fresh on order, served with a smile. Will definitely call again.

Pleasant staff running small cafe. Varied menu. Reasonable prices. Good to hear some modern jazz as the background music for a change.

No pensamos en conseguir una mesa, ya que estaba llena en la planta baja, pero nos llevaron arriba y nos sentimos cómodos allí arriba y tuvimos una comida deliciosa y saludable con mucha ensalada. Había juguetes para que jueguen los niños e imágenes y equipos interesantes relacionados con la música alrededor de las paredes. Todo estaba muy limpio y todo el personal era amable, servicial y rápido.

Lovely cafe with a good range of food and very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We stopped for breakfast and it was delicious (sausage sandwiches and eggs benedict). All food was fresh and tasty. Great service and would definitely return.

We were having a day out in Tewkesbury and fancied a bit of lunch so after looking at several cafes we settled on this one.Good choice.Friendly greeting with good service,Our food was very good.I had the big breakfast and my better half had cottage pie.Both were well cooked and tasty.Plenty of tea in the pot and at the end a nice surprise of a decent price.Well worth a return visit in the future.

Lovely friendly and dog friendly cafe with a simple home cooked specials menu and day to day menu . Great value for money

On a surprise visit to this little cafe. What a gem ticks all the right boxes,although very busy staff were welcoming and efficient. Food top quality home made and delicious. Many thanks will definitely return. Evesham E and R

We were struggling to find a tasty vegan snack and as a last resort headed to the Jelly Roll which sounds like a greasy spoon, but we were very impressed with the decor, cleanliness, staff and food. We had the roasted veg and houmous wrap, made fresh and served hot for takeaway and it was delicious and filling.

The first thing that stunned me on sitting down after ordering was the latte. Brilliant! Layers of different coloured coffee and perfect froth. Then came the full English breakfast. It was cooked to perfection with locally sourced products. Add to this charming waitresses. A perfect break.

Very friendly staff and lovely play area upstairs for children. Good coffee as well and I felt very looked after.

What a great place. We were a party of 21 under 15 rugby players and 13 adults. Claire and her team put themselves out for us by opening up early on a Sunday morning to cook and deliver a great breakfast whilst on tour in Tewkesbury. Great locally sourced ingredients cooked to perfection. Cozy and warm cafe with great staff, probably in my top 5 breakfast experiences ever. Thank you The Jelly Roll Cafe, highly recommended!

Go every month for fabulous breakfast all fresh local produce Its well worth a visit parking a bit tricky tho luv this place
