Breakfast Restaurants near Jamaica

“I had to do a fantasy football punishment here of staying for 24 hours, where each pancake I ate reduced my time by an hour. The staff was very accommodating and supportive and never made me feel unwelcome, even though I was there for 10 hours.“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“Food was great!! We loved !“

“Best Breakfast & Brunch Spot in NYC — Period. When you factor in price, flavor, and quality. There’s simply no other spot that beats it.

What makes this place unique is that it’s not your typical all-American brunch, which for me can sometimes be on the bland side. Here, you’re getting a true Dominican-American breakfast and brunch experience — sazon, flavor, and soul in every bite. If you enjoy savoring your food, this is a match made in heaven.

Their mangú is smooth, creamy, and comforting — not the stiff, heavy version you often get elsewhere. I ordered the tres golpe and my girlfriend had the dos golpe with pechurrinas (Dominican chicken tenders). The chicken was crisp to perfection, seasoned beautifully, and mixing it with the mangú is next-level. To finish, I ordered a papaya milkshake that was amazing — rich, refreshing, and the perfect balance.

The flavor here is what sets them apart. If you’re Latino, or if you just love food with seasoning and depth, this is the spot. Too many brunch places in the city are bland — here, every bite has sabor.

On top of that, the service is excellent. Our server Jeanette was attentive, funny, and welcoming — exactly the kind of energy you want when you’re hungry.

And let’s talk about price. In 2025, when everything feels overpriced, this spot is a blessing. Most dishes are $5–$10, nothing over $25, and the quality is unmatched even compared to restaurants charging triple. You get your money’s worth every time.

The only downside is they’re not open for dinner — but for breakfast and brunch, Cafeteria Brooklyn is unbeatable. If you want food that’s flavorful, affordable, and satisfying, this is where you need to be. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Vegetarian options: Menu is attached in photos. Great fresh preparation of food. Best staff and door operator too

Dietary restrictions: You can ask food restrictions and changes to the waiterious service . Hot and fresh cooking service. Best waiterious Miss SOPHiA

Parking: Free parking for the customers

Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly and best spot for birthday party. The staff also participates in the birthday songs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair assessibility along with doorman who helps the elderly and disables.“

“Our new home kitchen during renovations. Thank you Manhasset IHOP for always welcoming us in, especially during this crazy time at home. Everyone who has ever helped us has been so wonderful.. especially with my 2 yr old. Every server, a heart of gold! Love this location. Really-of all of them on the north shore, this one is always consistent & hands down the best!“

“We made a Bris with Gotta Getta Bagel, and it was absolutely magnificent. Joel was a pleasure to deal with, and everything went so smoothly. He went above and beyond and surprised us with a few extra perks on the house. His staff were courteous and set up and cleaned up so professionally. I recommend GGB for anyone who is having a party.“

“This place has great breakfasts. Rich, the owner/cook is a character, but in a good way. Best coffee I've ever had. Cheryl, Marty, Emily are great. Tina is annoying and seems miserable all the time. Don't know why she works here on Saturdays. All she does is yell at Rich.“

“The best bagels with the friendliest staff!“

“I was very impressed with this space. I have to be honest I normally don't think of event spaces on my regular day to day but if you need a space that can be used to hold an event- well this may be the place for you. Here is why: Staff - 10 (they were great and very friendly and accommodating to our needs) Security - 10 (professional and approachable and friendly) Space - 8 (great for the baby shower I attended and big enough for anything you could possibly want to do) Parking - 3 (only downside. Folks it's Ridgewood so you already know. But hey get there early and bring walking shoes and you will be fine) to wrap things up this space simply works. Then when you add professional and accommodating people you can't lose. I'll be back in my best terminator voice.“

“Excellent food...excellent people“

“Wide selection of delicious & well priced food and drinks in a cozy cafe atmosphere. Very friendly staff! Highly recommend“

“I had a spinach pie (spanakopita) and Greek salad here and it was very good tasting and satisfying. It's good to know if you find yourself in the South Bronx (should you dare to roam these streets) that there's decent food here. I went here twice since I had something business related to do down here. The atmosphere of the diner is the major area that needs improvement but is pleasant. Sometimes a dark, old looking, low intensity environment is good though, especially if you're feeling down as I often am.“

“My family are big eaters and Ray’s Cafe gives you the largest portion of food for your money. Delicious very time. The workers and owner are professional and very friendly. I can’t wait to return.“

“This location is in a residential area with free street parking. The corner location is cozy with about 10 indoor two person tables & 3 outdoor tables. For parties over four you may want to call ahead. Our wait time was 40 mins on a Sunday at noon. After 1:30pm the crowd thinned out before the late lunch. The menu has shareable breakfast charcuterie as well as smaller single servings with a list of add-ons. They have a drink selection of a large variety of flavored mimosas and light cocktails. They even have a mocktails menu and can adjust both menus to suit the opposite preference. I had French toast and my companion ordered the steak. The plates are just enough to continue the day without being hungry or overly full. The dishes were both delicious.“

“Cozy little place, owner/all staff members are kind and friendly. Best clam chowder and sandwiches, not only breakfast menus. Amazing grilled chicken that’s seasoned and cooked perfectly every time. Price is too cheap for the quality of food and drinks!!“

“Terrific for a coffee shop in an office building! I had a very tasty mushroom cheese burger. The fries were meh. I suggest they copy Wendy's fries (skin on, less oil)
I took home a side of potato salad that was home-made and shockingly good!
Outstanding service. The staff is efficient, polite and attentive. Considering that they are bombarded with orders in person, by phone and online, they are downright heroic!
I may go back even when I don't have an appointment in the building!“

“Perfect stop before the game. Great music, great atmosphere. Our server was fantastic!“

“You cannot find a better salad in this neighborhood, the vegetables are so fresh and when you order over the phone they will make sure to not add the dressing until it’s picked up so that it doesn’t get soggy. This attention to detail is what makes this place gourmet, you’ll have a hard time finding another deli serving salads like this place anywhere nearby.“

“Why didn’t I find this IHOP location sooner? I’ve always been skeptical about breakfast franchises - especially IHOP. I mean, how good can breakfast really be? But this location completely changed my mind.

The service was outstanding, and the food genuinely impressed me. The servers were warm and welcoming. Their signature pancakes were perfectly fluffy and paired beautifully with the butter and syrup. The omelette was huge, and the price was very reasonable. Even the coffee was great - smooth, not burnt, and they leave the whole pot at your table for easy refills.

I honestly don’t think I’ll be going to local diners anymore. IHOP has won me over for breakfast!

* One small caveat: I wouldn’t recommend the hash brown. It was quite dry and tasted like it had been cooked from frozen.“

“This IHOP is better than the one on Ralph Avenue. It's bigger, it has more seating, the staff is friendlier, and they actually have different flavored syrups, which is the main reason I even go lol.
The food was good, will definitely be back.“

“Really nice spot , hole in the wall, Great place to get good breakfast, coffee , muffins, friendly bilingual staff, made to order, affordable prices, variety of food and drinks, nice little diner.

Parking: It's in an industrial area with very diverse customers, This place has everything you need to eat in or take out

Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat in, very friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Just pick up the wheel chair and walk yourself in🥴🤔“

“I was in midtown Manhattan to see a live TV show, Gutfeld. I had some time before lining up outside the TV channel's building, so I stopped in for a quick lunch at this place. It is, apparently, open 24 hours, which is interesting given it's location right smack in the middle of midtown. I ordered some hot items from the hot bar, which is extensive. I chose the eggplant parmesan with rice. The food was good. This restaurant does not look to be the most hygienically pleasing, but, on the other hand, it was not expensive and the offerings I chose were tasty. The service was OK. One other note is that when I asked for regular water, they handed me an empty cup which I had to fill from a tap, they did not have any of those water filtration systems you see at many other restaurants, kind of a cheap touch.“

“Recommend to anyone.. nice service friendly staff“

“Went once on a whim. Conveniently located directly across from the Lynbrook LIRR (Sunrise Highway crosswalk). Also directly across the street from the Lynbrook Post Office, which I frequently go to as an eBay Seller (kriherr0). Lady behind the counter had me laughing. Didn't catch her name tho. Bacon egg and cheese on a roll hit the spot! I'm going there today in an hour & a half when they open at 5am. Hoping for a similar experience 👍 . 5am? Hell yeaaa! I'm an early birder“

“I ventured into bagels N A Hole today. All I wanted was a couple of eggs over easy on a bagel with bacon and cheese. Well my first bite was so very satisfying. I knew I found my bagel place. The people where so very polite and friendly. Thanks for making my day. You made me the perfect egg sandwich.
Good luck with your business.“

“Amazing!!! Great atmosphere and beautifuly art decorated inside. When you walk in, it's like walking into mom's kitchen. You're welcomed by the scent and aroma of fresh good cooking, as you pass through a contemporary art gallery, with gorgeous pictures by a local artist, as you make your way to your seat of choice, ubless it's really busy, and anywhere is perfectly good to settle down and get ready to order from a variety of popular and authentic Greek food, dishes. Now, having cholesterol, here's the best part, the turkey sandwich is fresh turkey cooked here, not processed food, and NO Canola or Vegetable oil,... only virgin imported from mother Greece 100% pure, healthy and overall, mouth watering appetizers, main courses, sandwiches, soups(Sooooo delicious), and deserts, And I personally as I mentioned having a couple of health issues, and have to be health conscious sometimes I have to slightly alter or create a better suited meal, never a problem..
I recommend it all, and as well I'd love to recommend a very healthy desert(my favorite),
mixed fresh fruit & berries with whip cream, and the coffee is consistently excellent. This is my favorite place to go when eating out, simply put, Awesome & Healthy. Oh, and the service is truly great.👍👍♥️“

“I enjoy this place. They are always (at the least) kind when I dine in and always get my order correct when I place one for delivery. They seem as if they may be a bit short staffed, so the wait for food can be a bit long at times. Despite that, I strongly prefer this Ihop over others in the area.“

“Great place to stop for a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I enjoy my sandwiches on a roll but get it on a bagel sometimes. Their bagels are very good. Early mornings can get busy. It's not as busy in the afternoons. It's more of a take it to-go spot. But they have some seating and tables if you'd like to eat there. Food and coffee is fresh and overall, a great place to grab breakfast.“

“Great food and service. Nice size portion“

“The food is good but for me it was really Pat our waitress who was outstanding. Not only is Pat attentive and efficient at her job, but she emanates a genuine sense of warmth and kindness that leaves you feeling cared about. She is like the all time fairy god-mother waitress! it was a real pleasure to meet her and experience her awesomeness. I will definitely be back next time that I'm in New York! ☺Nat“

“Best deli ever. I go there to school almost every day. All of the people working there are really nice, for example today I lost my money, and they said to just bring it tomorrow. They are really nice. The food is good. Everything is cheap. Absolutely recommend going there.“

“Peters CAN serve up some delicious bagels... however they are very inconsistent. I come here for the convenience as it is located in my neighborhood. However, ordering here is a coin flip. Frequently I will be missing an add-on or will ask my bagel toasted and it will not be.
I suggest going to Slims or Utopia if you're in the area.

Edit: NGL when I ended up eating it...was delicious tho lol“
