    I was lucky enough to first discover this place at a Yelp event. I have been wanting to go back for a while, but it's a bit out of the way from where I live, so I decided to go on my birthday, when I was out for the day and enjoying the beautiful weather. I got the basic egg, bacon, toast and potatoes breakfast and it was delicious. As you can see from the photo, the portions are hearty so I had enough to take home with me for another breakfast. The service was great and my server was super attentive. I went on a Monday (work day). so did not experience any wait time. Highly recommend this cute spot in Pearl River!

    Awesome Irish Breakfast! So much delicious pork!

    My wife and I just checked out the breakfast at Cafe Diem. Not our first time there but I hadn't gotten around to reviewing. We lucked into a table immediately at around 10 on a Sunday. The restaurant is clean, bright, and modern. Our waitress was polite and professional. I knew that I wanted the traditional Irish breakfast and went for it. My wife ordered the Diem breakfast, the traditional eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries. She enjoyed her meal. I loved the traditional Irish breakfast, it included four different types of pork products. It also included two sunny side up eggs, toast, and beans. Perfectly filling, almost feel like I have to do a day of yard work at this point! They also have excellent coffee. We'll definitely be back!

    Met a friend here for dinner tonight. The food was delicious, as were the cocktails. We had a really great meal with great service. John was our server and he was friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. I brought home the meatloaf special for my husband and he said it was delicious.. overall it was fabulous and I'll def be back.

    My family and I LOVE Cafe Diem!! Where do I start? The Diem breakfast is my go to for an easy meal and I also highly recommend the Irish breakfast, bacon jamwich , and the homemade cinnamon buns! For lunch, the chicken paillard is delish if you like chicken cutlet with arugula and balsamic and the classic BLT is just so on track. My father raves about the fish tacos and all the loaded fries are just so delicious. The Curry fries are my favorite! On top of a delish menu, their baked goods, like the Italian rainbow cookies coffee cake, are seriously so amazing that I have to actively resist myself whenever we see them. Pro tip: get one to go! Their dinner is relatively new but I have had their burrata bowl and the Thai chili wings are something to write home ( or a Yelp review ) about!

    California Turkey Wrap

    I have walked and drove by this place so many times and it is always crowded. I've been wanting to give it a try and one day needed a place to go to lunch. We arrived around 12 and the place was slammed. There were only two tables left. We would have preferred to sit outside but there weren't any tables available there. The inside is very welcoming. They serve a lot of different coffee and tea drinks which I didn't know. I didn't have one because I already brought a drink earlier in the day. The menu is large and I feel like there is something for everyone, especially since it is breakfast and lunch. I had the California turkey wrap. It was large, I only had half. It came with a side of greens. Only complaint is that I wish there was more dressing on it, I think they forgot it. Overall I will definitely be back for breakfast/lunch!

    Food (3.3) Service (3.9) Ambiance (4.5) We stopped by for a brunch snack and found this quaint location very pleasant with fresh local food and a personable staff. They set up a few tables outside which allowed our puppy to join. They recently started serving dinner so decided to give them a try. The setting is very nice, great for a date or small group. Quaint, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. The service is friendly and visited appropriately, note ding below in this category. We started by splitting the Greek Salad which was outstanding, and the Crab Cakes were fresh and yummy. Lots of crab! Wife had the Fish Tacos which had deep fried large pieces of cod. Very tasty with chipotle Mayo. The Tater Tots are outstanding, better than the fries. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich which was a bit tasteless. We both agreed that the batter is thick and seemed to overwhelm the much thinner chicken (see pic). The brioche roll was fresh and it the three pickle slices added some flavor, but overall I felt it needed some work. The side fries were only warm so not superb, but I like fries so enjoyed them. They obviously prepared the mains a bit too early so they cooled as we ate the the apps. One downer was that they asked us what type of side potato we would like, so naturally expected them to be part of the dish. On the bill we were surprised to see an additional charge for each, albeit they are only a $3 charge, it's the principal which brought down the service score. Wife says the breakfast and lunch are consistently very good so we had high expectations. We trust the criticism will result in an even better dinner next time!

    Generous portions of delicious food at great prices with cheerful and friendly service in a tastefully decorated cozy space. What more can one want from a little cafe that exceeds all your expectations? My daughter and I found ourselves in the Pearl River post office one day. We saw this cafe across the road and decided to give it a try. I was hungry so I chose the "Mistletoe Benedict" on their holiday season menu. My daughter was not hungry so she picked the "Frickles" (batter fried pickles with aioli dip) snack. When my dish turned up I was quite amazed that there was about an entire avocado sliced on top of at least a dozen stalks of asparagus! We wouldn't have gotten such a generous serving of freshness for the listed price in any other establishment that we frequent in this area. Same goes for the Frickles - daughter commented that they really supplied her with the money's worth of pickles :-). The eggs were flawlessly poached, the Hollandaise sauce was just the right thickness and amount (it's so easy to over do it), and every bite was perfect. What a nice way to warm up our stomachs and hearts during the holiday season! Will definitely go back for other items on the menu! (for some bizarre reason I could not upload photos to this review ... will try again later)

    I stopped in for breakfast with my wife and daughter. The coffee was excellent and the meals were delicious. The service also great with friendly and knowledgeable servers. I can't wait to go back!

    Great, fun restaurant with amazing breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. They are mainly known for their breakfast and lunch food, however, their dinner options are phenomenal too! I was at a Yelp event and enjoyed (devoured!) a menu sampling, and everything was flavorful and satisfying! I recommend the cosmopolitan to drink and the chicken sliders to eat. I will definitely be returning. This restaurant is a stone throw from the Pearl River train station.

    Fancy Grilled Cheese with bacon jam

    Had a wonderful lunch here. I liked all of the menu options. It was a little cold out, so I wanted something warm for lunch. I went with the grilled cheese: it was delicious! My friend had one of the salads and she really enjoyed it. The service was great. Will definitely return.

Feels like light on the stomach, being gluten free was also a plus!!! I had the famous Ricotta and Berry toast and my sister had the Grilled shrimp bowl we also ordered Buffalo Parm garlic wings which was to die for!! Their lattes are also amazing and flavorful. Our server, Maggie was very attentive. She sees to it that we get what we need. She makes us feel at home. Wish this place was bigger because a lot of people are willing to wait hours in line! We will definitely be back to try other food menu they have!!

I ordered…read moretake out and the staff who answered told me there's a wait usually 30 - 45 mins....just for takeout?! At least she let me know. So be aware there is quite a wait if you done in or out. Other than that the menu has enough items to satisfy someone's appetite. The portions are Huge! Not only the generous serving, what was more important is the quality of the food. I rate it an A!. I've been her only once and my sandwich the Old Faithful was so good...crispy chicken cutlet on a long roll with tomato lettuce, may & oil/vinegar! I'm so happy they have a sandwich the way I like it dressed. I have mayo and oil & vinegar on all the sandwiches I order. The tator tots also rocked. Overall the quality of the food was good...fresh and the chef uses locally sourced ingredients. I also ordered an iced latte with marshmallow flavor. I tasted a hint of toasted marshmallow in my drink. So good. I will come back and try other items. They are open for breakfast & lunch only. Staff is friendly and courteous. You'll get treated well here. It's a small cafe, probably good for about 30 people. It's clean and charming. Highly recommended.
