Ive been going to Cafe 82 for over 20 years! Always a great experience. Breakfast and Lunch has always been awesome. And the staff is efficient and friendly!

Classic no frills diner thats open early and late. Turkey club and steak & eggs are good. Definitely a neighborhood spot.

Staff was extremely rude. I stopped in with a friend while we were in the area. I quickly used the bathroom before checking the menu, but then decided to look around the neighborhood first. Two staff members literally ran after me in the street, saying I had to pay for the bathroom. I hadn’t realized that was their policy, but I immediately agreed to go back inside and pay. Instead of handling it politely, the staff member typed in a random charge and told me “nothing is free” in a very condescending way. The attitude was unnecessary and uncomfortable. Definitely won’t be returning.

Absolutely the best customer service I have ever experienced. No doubt would be coming back. Took the order via grubhub and even labeled each meal with the persons name under the special instructions. Didn’t even ask for that. Dealt with 60+ orders phenomenally.
Decent service and comfortable seating space, but the food seems just okay here. The quality seems low, but I guess comparing the prices to other brunch spots nearby and Manhattan diners, it makes sense. I still wouldn't pay the price for what we got though. We got pancakes (regular and chocolate chip) and they were just alright. They were thin and floppy (not very fluffy, but they weren't dry). The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip pancakes saved the flavor, but I can imagine the plain pancakes being unappetizing/unsatisfying to eat. It looks unapparent from the outside, but there was a good amount of chocolate chips embedded near the center and inside of the pancakes. They provide a lot of packets of craft syrup and butter. Unfortunately, maple syrup is $2 per packet.
I've also tried some of their toasted homemade muffins, which were alright. The corn muffin was a bit dry, and the blueberry muffin was a tad bit too sweet for me.
I feel like I need to try some of their other dishes like omelettes or eggs benedict to fairly comment on their food quality, but I don't know if I'd come here for that when they don't appeal too much. I would say the quality is comparable to City Diner and Manhattan Diner.
Other notes: - The handwritten check can be a little hard to discern. - We go up to the cash register to pay - They have a separate gluten-free menu
