31 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Paterson

“Tucked-away Gem!
My husband and I stumbled across this small grill diner hidden in the cut — and what a find! We stopped in for brunch and everything was spot on. He had the shrimp and grits, and I went with the meat lovers with egg whites. Both dishes were so good — seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. The food was delicious and the service was just as excellent. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot with quality food. 👌🏼“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“I had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese with hash browns on an everything bagel from DB Breakfast and wow, it was absolutely amazing. The sandwich was perfectly balanced: crispy hash browns, flavorful Taylor ham, and gooey melted cheese all stacked between a fresh, toasted everything bagel. Every bite was packed with flavor and satisfaction.

If you’re looking for a next-level breakfast sandwich that hits all the right notes, this one is it. Highly recommend.“

“oh my god it's been 4 months since my husband and myself poped in for breakfast on our weekend getaway, and I CANNOT stop thinking about how AMAZING the food was.... looks like another 9 hour trip is in our near future 😭😍 p.s. get the pancakes🫶🏻“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“George's was amazing to work with. They were more than willing to help me plan a nice breakfast spread for my students...complete with full platters of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, fruit... They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“One of our favorite places to take out. Everything is always fresh and the quality never changes. My husband and I love their wraps and my kids love their chicken fingers. The fries are the best and travel well / never soggy. The staff is also always so friendly - including and especially John who kindly runs the food out to my car anytime I call ahead if I happen to be with my kids so I don’t have to unload and load 2 kids just to run inside and grab the order. Thank you so much!!!“

“The bagels here are so good, they are life changing. After trying a bagel here, I realized I had never had a good bagel in my life before this one, and I will never look at another bagel the same way again. If I could give a million stars out of five, I would.“

“the best food in nj .. healthy and nice place for every occasion“

Thank you Geraldo. We will be back.“

“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! 🥴🥴🤤🤤“

“the best in every category“

“Loved the atmosphere and food! Dani was spot on. Had a wonderful time with my family. Exactly what I needed!!!💜💜Time with my awesome family!!“

“I work in Montvale, NJ and I hear wonderful things about this place. During my lunch hour, I placed an order over the phone and spoke with Emily who was attentive, accommodating and was able to get my custom order perfect. Upon picking up, ammon greeted me quickly and confirmed my order right away. The vegetarian sandwich was amazing and Emily suggested I add the roasted peppers in lieu of the cromini mushrooms. It was amazing and I will be ordering from here again.“

“They now have computers in their hands with gets the food to you faster“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fabulous food and very friendly!“

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

“Todo delicioso y muy buena la atención“

“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.“
