This is my second time here after 2 years.
Looke like the have changed up their menus.
We ordered cappucino and latte but it seemed like there was no difference in the taste.Otherwise service was good.
Dietary restrictions: It is good to know that they have gluten free option

Under new management - there is 0 pork products, so all brunch has no ham, bacon, pork roll, or anything else. They also have much less coffee variety with only 3 types of roasts and no specific single-origins or anything similar.
Now with that out of the way, food is actually okay. If I could i’d give it a 2.5, and the service was good. It’s also a lot louder than before but that’s a take it or leave it, I’m not a fan myself though.
The biggest thing is that the food is just very different and lacking traditional american flavors. It’s just not the automat it used to be - though it isn’t the worst, just if you’re looking for a more traditional american brunch suggest you go to the Woodstack grill or the Skylark instead
Vegetarian options: Most of the menu is vegetarian implicitly - not explicit however, but they clearly list the ingredients
Dietary restrictions: Halal, very easy to also avoid meat products
Kid-friendliness: Friendly atmosphere

Beautiful cafe with great service. Quality was great too!
Me and my mom went here and I didn't think it'd be so fancy. So make sure you don't just wear an over sized t-shirt and no pants. Also they're breakfast Sammy was NEXT

Love this place. Small restaurant with really good vibes. The food is always top notch. The coffee and drinks are never disappointing and this restaurant is aesthetically very pleasing.

Good food but takeout of $18 (+tax) for a chicken burger with 1 free side is expensive for a cafe.

Very disappointed with the new ownership and menu. Waitress had no sense or urgency and brought coffee with milk in it already and no spoons or sugar. Can no longer get pork roll sandwiches which the original place (Sunnyside) was famous for and the last owners kept it on the menu. I couldn't even get pork bacon or a short stack so we left. I won't be back. So sad to see a place that could be a goldmine and a place we all used to go to turn into some overpriced bougie faux restaurant.

The Edison Automatic is my family's go to breakfast place and the Smoky Tom and Quinoa Bowl top our favorites! The new owner has done a great job and the food and service remain top of the line!

Disappointed they changed their menu. They used to have some good classics there, especially the breakfast sandwiches that could also be made gluten free. I barely recognize the menu now, time to move on I guess.

Service was very unfriendly - seems like new management. Food is very good but it was overall a very unwelcoming atmosphere.

I was going to say service is good but towards the end it just got worse and worse. I would not recommend this place at all. Food is as bland and so poorly made, its literally made just for looks, taste is not there at all. Had to eat my turkey club with a fork and a knife because it was built like a tower and couldn’t take a bite from it without getting my nose or my chin in the whole sandwich. Go get a bagel from a bodega across the street honestly!
