50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Clifton

“Small place. Friendly service. Place is decorated nicely. Just a few tables. Standard diner counter cafe and a few high chairs with tabletop counters in front window. Pancakes were the fluffiest I've seen ina while the blueberries were plump and delicious. They let you order a single pancake if you want which is cool. Took a pic after I started eating so you'll have to imagine the other half of the pancake“

“My family and I have been coming to this bagel shop it's it opened up. They've been consistent with hospitality, cleanliness and extremely reasonable with pricing across the board. The most important thing that this bagel shop has that no other shop does is that it's an open concept, you see everything done in front of you from the rolling of the bagels, the baking to the food being cooked. All other breakfast food establishments I've been too divide the front and the back so you don't necessarily see what's going on. Having worked with the clifton health department in the past, let's just say there is a reason as to why we prefer ordering from here. Thank you for taking care of my entire family for 15+ years.“

“Pretty dead for a Tuesday afternoon. Gluten-free options are superb. David is a rockstar in hospitality.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pancakes from here are awesome.

Parking: Plenty of parking all over this place

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of booths and perfect atmosphere for kids. Strollers might cramp the place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty easy to roll anyone in here“

“Pamela was great when every time I visit I would love to get her she did an excellent job!! GREAT JOB PAMELA!!!!!!“

“Visited this location with my boyfriend and had a really nice server. Our food took a while but she made sure she came to us and let us know everything was coming out in like about 12 to 15min. She brought us out half our meals because she said she didn't wanted us waiting with nothing. We appreciated that. Other servers at other places would just let people sit but this young lady kept it professional. She explained everything and gave us refills without us even asking!“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“I recommend everything about it. The food is phenomenal. The service is impeccable. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I have been getting Dominican food from this joint for more than 15 years and it is always on point. They do not over season their food like most Dominican hot bar style restaurants do and their pernil is always good, not too salty not bland, not extremely juicy but not dry either and it's been really cheap and consistent with flavors. Out of the variety in the Passaic and Paterson area, this place is my number one choice for whenever I am craving Dominican food.“

“I love coming here! There's a little hidden room in the back with seating... The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is DELICIOUS!!! Sometimes I just stop in for a chai and a croissant... Sometimes I sit and have a meal.. either way, Minias never disappoints!! OMG try their banana oatmeal!!!!!!!!!“

“What a charming breakfast and lunch (and hey, even early dinner) spot! I had the Jackie Special on a multigrain roll, and a latte. Fantastic. It’s clean, it’s bright, it’s warm and stylish. It’s an elevated experience for when you want something a little better than a greasy spoon diner (not that there’s anything wrong with the latter!)“

“Breakfast in a hurry! I stopped by to get a taste of an everything bagel with Taylor Ham, Eggs and Cheese. It came out hot, fresh and fast. The bagel was tasty and the eggs were cooked just right. Price was a bit high for what it was, but I would definitely stop here again in my travels. This establishment definitely has a neighborhood place type of feel and seemed to be filled with the local crowd.

Parking: Right in front and plenty of space.“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“Orange - Carmel crãpe....ABSOLUTELY delighted ????
The balance of flavors was impeccable-the sweetness of the carmel combined perfectly with the citrusy zest of the orange, creating a unique and mouthwatering experience. The crãpe itself was light, thin, and perfectly cooked, with a delightful texture that melted in my mouth. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a refined dessert with a twist. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.“

“My go-to ? I love coming here for breakfast/lunch. Absolutely great service, quick, feels very cozy, and the food has always been exceptional. They are very generous with their portions and I appreciate that very much!! I’ve had my mom and boyfriend join me for breakfast a few times and they love it too!“

“First off, big big thank you and shout out to our lovely waitress miss blonde bomb shell! So welcome from the jump. Old school diner dive feel! I love this place. My partner used to come here as a kid! He loves this place to. Literally everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. The service was fast and officiant! I loved my experience here and I can't wait to go back! Such a 💎 gem! Stuffed waffles, breakfast sausage links and corned beef hash(made homemade) are all highly recommended but like I said, everything was delicious! 🥴🥴🤤🤤“

“Debra my server, Luis, the chef and the staff at Irvington IHOP. Excellent service I recommend you come and eat.“

“I am really happy to leave here with a full belly but better than that the young lady was amazing! What a kind hardworking woman! She definitely deserves recognition and I’m delighted with service we received from Miss. Jackie. Thank you we will definitely be back to see Jackie ?“

Food is always top notch and employees are very friendly. This is the place. Thank you Dino and Helen for 30+ years of greatness.“

“My go-to sandwich spot! Delicious! Inexpensive! My son is also completely addicted to the grilled cheese sandwiches they make, we go every Saturday for lunch. I love that everything is clean and sanitary, not every deli knows how to make a good “Bodega sandwich” but this spot NAILS it.“

“Stopped in for lunch on our way to Adirondacks and felt immediately welcomed (even though we arrived 20 min before closing). My husband had a western egg sandwich and the homemade corned beef hash, which was exceptional. I had a tuna sandwich and while it’s hard to get excited about tuna fish, it was a perfect sandwich. This is the type of neighborhood place that every town had at one point - a place where people met to eat, share the news of the day, connect - and of which there are too few today. A real gem.“

“I come here almost every day or every other day and everytime I come through those doors all the associates greet me with respect like am family. They are very outgoing n respectful n they want me to have a beautiful experience here which I always do "That's y I always come back. The environment is very clean the food is always on time not cold but hot n ready to eat friendly people n that's I won't hesitate to come back every single time I give it to the server the chef n everyone that is on the Ihop team thank u for not treating me any different but just a human being so thank you to all the staff and the store as well have a blessed day and many wants to come God bless....WILL COME BACK AS LONG AS IN THE DOOR IT SAYS OPEN... Thanks to all associates...“

“Such amazing and warmhearted people, I love how I was craving for my usual breakfast sandwich for an amazing price and I couldn’t find one nearby the Exchange Place area, till I caught my eye on a little food truck stand… I will definitely come back and support this local/small business. Well deserved for these kind people.“

“This literal "corner coffee shop" is a gem in Jersey City. We found it around the corner from our Air BnB on our second day in the city...and wish we would have found it on day one! The employees were extremely kind and accommodating of our request for plant-based options. They have four or five options for non-dairy bases to coffee drinks and smoothies. We both got the avocado toast (one of us on bread and the other on a bagel) and the food was amazing.

Dietary restrictions: Basic has four or five non-dairy options for their coffee drinks. There also are a couple breakfast sandwiches that can be made without dairy or meat.“

“Torta truck did not disappoint, decided to give it a try today after the many mentions & good reviews. Let’s just say the quality is delicious and, the meat is tender, and tasty, the consome is flavorful! I got the birria empanada & birria tacos. The guys were really sweet & helpful. Thanks again!! God bless.“

“One of the best places I’ve eaten food from! This place is serious about making their Peruvian food the best in West New York.

“Madori Local Bagel Shop in Jersey City
If you are nearby, be sure to visit.

All flavors are delicious
In particular, the blueberry cream cheese and sun-dried tomato cream cheese are unique and excellent.“

“I had breakfast at Toast Montclair this morning! The food was overall enjoyable, though with a few drawbacks. I had the chicken wrap, which tasted good but had a bit too much blue cheese, giving it a slightly vinegary taste. Still, I’d rate it 8/10. The wrap came with fries, which were overly greasy and not very appealing, wouldn’t recommend the fries , u can substitute for fruits tho or salad . My boyfriend had a bagel with eggs and home fries, and he really enjoyed his meal. While there were some hits and misses, it was a decent experience overall.“

“ok... good coffee. fast service but not all the time... I recommend going here“

“Todo delicioso y muy buena la atención“

“This week Pimientos de Padrón Chipirones Vieiras Berberechos Ameixas Cada producto above and beyond. Highly recommended.“

“Awesome food, great service! Muffins are delicious!“

“Best Onion Rings ever! Friendly service and a great place to dine.“

“I love this place. It's difficult these days to find a local bagel store that makes their bagels in house.On my last trip, was the first time I was disappointed. I always order well done bagels and ask for the darkest bagel. Last time, there were perfect, dark everything bagels right on top, and the girl went out of her way to dig through them and pull out a bagel as light as white bread, that I wasn't shown. My meal was less enjoyable this time when I got home.“

“A very wonderful person, seller and cook. The food was not expensive but big and very well prepared. And most importantly, the attitude towards me was at a high level and the food was served with a sincere smile, which is now a rarity. I recommend to everyone“

“As we walked in,we were greeted by the cashier, Staff seemed busy and yet attentive. We were seated quite quickly and we were a party of 6.(3 kids,3 adults). The food was hot & good and everyone received what they ordered. They also sang Happybday and also provided 2 cup cakes!, for the kids' bday. Bathrooms were clean, and parking was plenty. The interior could use some sprucing up. Couches in the entrace were a bit tattered and could use more attention. Also, the outside, around the front of the IHOP, and surrounding fencing areas. Otherwise, the associates were fantastic, smiling, and pleasant. We absolutely will return!

Parking: Outside available parking,with a lot of spots that are a available.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, highchair is available upon request.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a accessible ramp.“

“We ordered a chop cheese, the six corners quesadilla, tater tots, and a mango monster smoothie.

The vibe inside was a small and cute cafe. It took about 20 minutes for our food to be ready.

The chop cheese was delicious. I loved the texture of the ground meat and the melted cheese. The quesadilla was a little too salty and the steak was a bit chewy. The tater tots weren't great. The mango monster was solid, but I wouldn't get it again for $8.

Overall a solid experience. I would like to try some of their other menu items and maybe call ahead to avoid the wait.“
