Jubilee Chocolate Cafe

Don't sleep on this little gem on Pal Park's Broad Ave. It might look like another Korean café/dessert shop, but it's so much more. Actually, their brunch/dinner menu is better than their pastries and drinks! I've been here many times (mainly in the late evenings) and it's ALWAYS busy and packed. If you come with a large group, you might have to wait for a table. The café itself is small and seating can feel tight. They have a newly renovated outdoor area/garden in the back. It's cozy and intimate so I can recommend this spot for a date. You can come here for a sweet treat, morning coffee, brunch, or dinner. They have everything from coffee to bubble tea to pasta to steak to burgers to cakes to shaved ice and so much more. I initially didn't expect much, but I've tried different items from their menu and everything is tasty. The food is prepared freshly. I prefer the savory dishes over the desserts and pastries. They have touch screens on the tables for ordering. Prices are a little high for a small café. My #1 favorite dinner item is the Carbonara pasta (~$18). The sauce is so CREAMY AND RICH and the crunchy chunks of bacon are the perfect touch. It also comes with a side of garlic bread. The filet mignon steak (~$40) is also a good choice! It's tender and juicy. For beverages, you can't go wrong with anything you choose. Their hot chocolate, matcha lattes, and sparkling ades are my go-tos. I've had their desserts too (chocolate fondue, waffle, and special caramel bread). While they're delicious, I do think they're a bit overpriced just for a dessert (~$16-20). I always see the owners, Richard and Gianna(??? Sorry if I got her name wrong) there. They're great people and work really hard to make sure everything is running smoothly.

The naming of this cafe doesn't give the full potential of what it truly is! I was very impressed by the wide variety of selection from desserts to bubble tea to brunch and dinner menu. If you're looking for something they probably have it We also decided to stop by here since it was one of the only ones open late at the time. 11pm closing and I believe switching to 12am soon for the summer which is a great late night hangout with spacious outdoors We ordered 2 desserts: espresso creme brûlée and the mixed berry bingsoo Espresso creme brûlée 4.5/5 very misleading!! Not rly your traditional creme brûlée with the hard sugary coating on the top. Instead it's liquid espresso! We were at first disappointed by that but the taste made up for it! Mixed berry bingsoo 4/5: the bingsoo itself is not as shaved as thin compared to the other cafes so wasn't as impressed by this. But we loved all the fresh fruits from the strawberries, blueberries and blackberries - they were all super fresh! Thought they also coated with a bit too much strawberry syrup too so def on the sweeter spectrum

This cafe has a wide variety of items from savory to sweet. We ordered the mixed fruit bowl and it was delicious.

Everything at Jubilee was delicious! We ordered 3 entrees to share with 5 people for brunch and the portions were just perfect. The Gorgonzola pizza was something I've never tried before, but it was surprisingly light with a generous side of honey. We also ordered 2 pastas - Aglio Olio and Seafood Cream pasta. Aglio olio's garlic flavor was just perfect, and the seafood cream pasta had a generous portion of squid, shrimp, mussels and clams. There's also a complimentary side of fresh garlic bread! There is also a very spacious outdoor patio, but it was too cold - but I bet the ambiance is great when it's warmer! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Love this place. I got the caramel bread, which was so delicious. They made it perfectly so that the sauce was present in each bite I took of the bread. It had the most perfect crunch to it too. Best caramel bread I've had in the area. I also got the bitter hot chocolate, which was perfect for a cold day and not too sweet! I would definitely come back here. Hoping to try the bingsoo next time!
