36 Best Breakfast Restaurants in New York

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“This is probably one of the places you would just walk by without noticing it. Yet this would be a mistake.

It’s a great place for a very nice breakfast. The food is excellent, prepared with attention to detail and love, the staff is friendly and attentive. Especially Francesca and Sophie are two lovely young ladies ☺

Definitely one of the best paces for breakfast on the Manhattan financial district!“

“This restaurant is beautiful. The decor is pretty and the lighting is so nice. They have small performances. The one I witnessed sounded very nice and beautiful. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable. The food is soooo good. They have decent portion sizes. I personally tried the short ribs, chicken wings, fries, and mandu (non kimchi). Everything was very flavorful and had great texture. The service was nice as well. I highly reccomend going here for a date night. 10/10!“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Thanksgiving Day Special was amazing !!!! If you come to NYC, you better eat at this place !!!! Off the hook…… Amazing !!!!!“

“Best breakfast in the city.“

“I was there only to pick up a to go order but the place was PACKED and from what I could see AND smell everything looked and smelled delicious!!!“

“Visited from the Uk with our 3 girls. My breakfast was amazing….corn beef hash 👌🏻. The girls all had something different so had to have a taste of theirs too….all were so good. Definitely recommend this lovely little place 👍🏻“

“Good food and cold beer! Mac and cheese hit the spot on a rainy day.“

“A brilliantly run little spot on 9th Avenue. I’ve honestly never seen such flawless logistics and such effortless coordination among the staff. Everything works with incredible speed and ease, yet without any chaos. On top of that — really excellent food, and a line of people waiting for a table… even in the rain.

Absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!“

“Serving up excellent, classic breakfast and sandwiches. Super friendly staff, and a community of regulars percolating in and out which is very charming. A great place that flies under the radar. Some maintenance wouldn't hurt spruce up the place a bit.“

“I stopped by Oxford Cafe and it was a nice, easygoing experience. The place has a simple, cozy vibe that makes it comfortable to just sit and relax. Service was friendly and quick, which I appreciated. The food came out fresh and tasted good — nothing too fancy, just done right. Portions were decent and everything felt balanced. It’s a solid spot for a casual meal or even just a quick bite. I’d come back again.“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“Very nice atmosphere and delicious croissants.“

“I really wish I could give a five star because the sandwich I received was amazing. I’m giving four stars because the atmosphere of the entire place needs to match everything. The worker at the register was honestly just rude and had a very standoffish attitude. It almost made me want to cancel my order and walk out the store. Please do better and be more welcoming because the food is amazing and it throws everything off. This was at 3:40pm today.“

“stopped in one morning on our visit to NY. the pumpernickel bagel was fresh with a lot of cream cheese was amazing. I ordered a caramel latte and watched him grind the coffee beans to make my latte and it was one of the best lattes I've ever had!“

“I'm a big fan of this place. I love coming here and getting their egg wraps or a muffin. They already know me for that 😂. But they're super attentive, diligent, and very courteous. The food is always good and I've never had a problem. They also have good coffee which rules. You can also snag a delicious breakfast burrito for about $10 so especially finding a place to eat in Midtown. It's perfect.“

“Best Damn Breakfast Burrito has become one of my regular breakfast stops, and the Egg Whites Laurena is my go-to order. The flavors are great, the ingredients taste fresh, and it manages to be satisfying without feeling overly heavy. It’s the kind of breakfast I find myself coming back for again and again.

My only complaint is structural rather than culinary. The tortilla simply doesn’t do a good enough job containing the filling. Every time I order it, the contents start leaking out almost immediately, making it nearly impossible to eat without creating a mess. A sturdier wrap or a slightly different assembly would make a huge difference.

Despite that, the quality of the food keeps me coming back. If they could solve the burrito engineering problem, it would be very close to perfect.“

“I tried their avacado and chicken, it was delicous and very healthy and the price was great, the only downside is that the portion of food was small, but it was packed with protein and kept me full. The food was fresh, and came in a little bowl. Friendly customer service as well.“

“Café,desayuno,repostería y muchas cosas más.“

“Great place, mini diner, fantastic breakfast.
Atmosphere? Lol, Google doesn't understand how humans value space, it has the Atmosphere of a traditional lunch counter, which is fantastic for a lunch counter. Come here for food, it's great!“

“Went to Crema in Dania Pointe. High quality atmosphere and service. Carla was our barista and server and was excellent in her demeanor and service. Highly recommend.“

“Coming to visit my sister from Oregon to NYC and first time ordering from here and oh my god, I am hooked.

I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and the coffee and every bite is so well combined with one another: the potatoes, tomatoes and eggs. Chef's Kiss! And the coffee fills it all the way to the rim. Just amazing“

“I recommend delicious steak sandwich“

“We had a terrific time at the restaurant and special thanks to Busco. He is always smiling.You are a great team with delicious food. The wonderful market table is speechless. Again, thanks for your serve, Busco! We will come back soon again. :)

“This place is a gem in a completely unique location in Northern Manhattan. Beautiful view of Inwood Hill Park and Spuyten Duyvil. Here is my advice: KEEP IT SIMPLE! Their coffee, lattes, and breakfast pastries are delicious. For dinner, have the farm burger medium rare - always perfectly grilled and the fries are great. Other options can be over-salted and over-priced, so stick with the basics and enjoy the view.“

“Great breakfast . Friendly employees in a local spot. It is called by locals " dirty kitchen" BUT it just LOOKS dirty it is actually VERY CLEAN !! The asian wife is always cleaning. Great place for when you want a home cooked breakfast . Only like 4 counter seats but most people take it to TOGO.“

“amazing neighbourhood diner restaurant! got the huevos divorciados and it was delicious. the salsa verde which flooded the plate had the rare, perfect amount of acidity. the fruit pancakes deluxe with sunny side up eggs and sausage were also equally perfect in each component, with a special shoutout to the sausage (crispy skin! piping hot!) and hotcakes that had all the comfort of a childhood homemade breakfast. the servers were kind and warm, and the environment is cosy without being cramped. absolutely absolutely will be returning in short order.“

“Wanting to take my daughter for a special treat whilst in New York for a few days we booked afternoon tea in the Pembroke Room at the Lowell Hotel after knocking back the Plaza after reading a few dodgy reviews. So pleased we did as we spent over 2 hours enjoying every moment. The service was excellent as was the food, especially the warm scones. It’s a shame the cream was “Devonshire” rather than the traditional Clotted Cornish but other than that it was perfection. Lovely small intimate setting too where we felt our custom was welcome rather than feeling just a number as we were one of just 3 tables there. Would we return? Absolutely!“

“this is a nice food truck! great service and recommendations. wraps were tasty! well proportioned. hot chocolate was too watery so thats the only downside. else this is a really fantastic breakfast truck and you can sit at the park nearby to eat them! well done !“

“Spicy Gourmet Deli on 109th is hands down one of the most accommodating 24-hour delis on the Upper West Side. They have a huge variety of options, whether you’re grabbing something quick or looking for a full meal at any hour.

What really stands out is their hygiene, excellent customer service, and speed—everything is always clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and orders are prepared quickly without feeling rushed. They truly treat customers like family and know their regulars by name, voice, and even address, whether you call in or stop by in person. That level of personal service is rare.

Definitely a neighborhood staple and a reliable go-to any time of day or night.“

“Amazing bagels and quick to get in and out. The tofu cream cheese was a good dairy alternative and the purple blueberry bagel was delicious. Staff was friendly and on point for service.

Dietary restrictions: Veggie and Dairy Free were options I enjoyed.

Parking: It’s the city, parking sucks.“

“If I could give Amuse 10 stars I would. The drinks are stellar, but the staff really make it. Cate, Amy, Brian, Guillermo, and the team provide impeccable service. They’re efficient, considerate, and sociable. The espresso martini is out of this world. I’m a local and I’m a regular. Whether you’re visiting the city or just passing through midtown, the open yet cozy ambiance of Amuse is an ideal reprieve from the city.“

“I must say food and service was great! I ordered via uber eats and everything was fresh, hot, absolutely tasty, and on time. I ordered the chicken and waffles, cheese omelet w/ hash browns, and a cheeseburger. So far, it is one of the best places I've ordered from. You definitely will be satisfied. Great portions and again, the food was delicious. Thank you for a great experience!“
