Stopped by for a late Breakfast, food was very good and fresh. Fresh bacon and crispy . Would recommend for breakfast :)

Daybreak Cafe is about as standard of a diner as one will find this in area. In the barren land of western Queens (more specifically, eastern Astoria), the pickens become a little slimmer as the area develops, hence Daybreak is an option for many, especially with their robust delivery, servicing many nearby hoods. The food is exactly what you'd expect - reasonably priced, similar variety as others, and about as typical as they come. Their breakfast platters are solid, especially with regards to pricing. A pastrami omelette with toast and home fries is $5.25 with a Nova Scotia lox omelette topped off for $7.95. Since eggs and anything involving morning food is generally made to order, it also happens to be the safest bet in their semi-large menu. Burgers are inconsistently decent to mediocre. More often than not, the meat temperature is rarely correct and the buns are dry and doughy. Their saving grace is that they offer many sandwich alternatives from a hearty Monte Christo sammy ($7.50) to a more gourmet Prime Rib sandwich ($10). I've also dabbled a little bit with their appetizers by trying their potato skins ($4.75), mini tacos ($5.75), and chicken fingers ($5.25). The skins were mediocre as can be, the mini tacos were more like thick taquito stubs, and the chicken fingers were solid but the breading fell apart too easily. But the worst I've saved for last, which is virtually any of their pasta dishes. Not only are they the priciest items ($10-12) on an already cheaper menu, but they're often the worst executed. A flavorless spaghetti and meatballs was the meal one day, along with a terrible overcooked salmon on a bed of equally overcooked linguini, and the list goes on. Parmigiana anything is a hazard in these parts. Exercise your carb intake with caution. If they were open later, I'm pretty sure this would be the spot to get your drunk eats on. Alas, more of a daytime establishment. And with a name like that, it seems fitting. read more

See all

Horrible! I ordered a chicken ranch wrap and boy what a disappointment. The wrap was soggy and flavorless all I tasted was the wrap. No flavor plus saggy dead lettuce with water down ranch that didn't taste like ranch but more like water. Don't bother my honest opinion. read more

I love this diner!! The service is always great!! I usually order for pickup and they're really quick with fulfilling orders!!

Great amazing food been ordering from this place for years love the staff and food. It can't be any better than this

Small friendly cafe/diner style restaurant. Decent food. Friendly service. Cute lil local spot

Local no frill spot around the corner, perfect for all your breakfast food cravings. I usually pick up my order but sat a couple of times for breakfast with friends. Food is yummy, affordable and hits the spot. I love their fresh squeezed OJ. Staff is super friendly and now remembers my regular-ish order. Go and support this small but reliable local Queens business! read more

Good food and great prices! It's a bit off the beaten path of the main streets of Steinway or Broadway but definitely worth a try. I have only been here for breakfast and most recently tried the chilaquiles with steak and fresh squeezed orange juice, yummy! Lots of flavor and steak was cooked perfectly, very tender and juicy. I think they're also on seamless so go ahead and give them a try! read more

Waited 30 minutes for a pick-up order I placed online. Meaning from when I ordered it took me an hour to get my food. Avoid at all costs. read more

A local cafe off Northern B;vd in Astoria on 45th street that offers straight up grilled meat and potato type food. The steak and eggs with chiplote is my fav, along with spinach pie and greek salad. The coffee is always fresh and the staff is quick and friendly. Ordering is convieniant and ask Javier for daily specials. The ribs with mash falls off the bone and the soups and rice dishes have a latin sabor ( flavor ). Looking for good cheap eats? look no further. read more

Well I happen to be around the area and I was hungry so I went in. I was excited to eat the Mexican omelette with homefries , toast and coffee. However, I was very dissatisfied and disappointed. They served my coffee in a paper cup meanwhile the rest of the patrons had mugs. The plate they served me in was cracked. They offered refills to other customers and did not offer me any. I felt a bit discriminated. The food came and it was not good the home fries were under cooked no seasoning onions or peppers. It tasted like just a bunch of mashed up left over undercooked baked potatos. The omelette was also under seasoned at least the veggies tasted fresh. I will say that I will never recommend or go there again. read more

This place is a hidden gem. A quick, all purpose cafe that serves typical diner fare with a Spanish twist. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and extremely affordable, and all breakfast dishes are served with home fries and toast. Come here hungover on a Sunday and order the avocado omelette, you will thank me. read more

The service is friendly and fast. The restaurant is clean and quaint. The menu has many breakfast and lunch options. Everything is made to order. I ordered the omelette in a wrap. It was cooked well with fresh ingredients and they pressed the wrap in a Panini press which made it crispy and hot when I got it. Honestly I thought it was really tasty. I also ordered a juice and it was fresh. No complaints. read more

The food is good which makes it a shame the service is terrible. I ordered through Grubhub and it came really quickly which was all good. They didn't send half my order. So I called and the guy answering the phone gave me attitude like I should've expected they'd screw up my order because they're so busy. Fast & efficient is great but not if you're going to be sloppy and do the job wrong. I'd rather wait an extra 15 minutes and get what I paid for. read more

Standard diner food. Atleast that's what I had. Stumbled upon this place while walking around waiting for my car to finish being serviced. I'm sure many others have experienced this since this area is car repair/dealership central. I ordered the barbeque cheeseburger deluxe. It came pretty quickly. They also offer free wi-fi, accept credit card and have beer on their menu, which is nice (to enjoy 1) when you've just been told that your car won't be ready for 4 hours. I wasn't happy with the DOH B rating in the window, but it seems to have worked out for me. Now if only the man in back of me would have stopped coughing without covering his mouth. read more

Set up guy watched me outside in the rain when I arrived minutes before their opening time... Would open up and let me wait inside. read more

Super nice staff and pleasant place to grab a bite to eat. Prices are below average so you feel you are getting a good deal on most of the menu. Everything I've tried in the both times I've come has been fresh and made well. Try the omlette with avocado and bacon,.. WINNER WINNER! And the coffee is on point here too. This place is satisfying on many levels. I will definitely be back. read more

Came for breakfast while getting my car fixed. Being so early in the middle of the week, it was quiet inside. A few people, but we were seated quickly and service was fast. Small table by the window/front entrance. Small place, but cozy and intimate inside. Feels like a spot where there would be a lot of regulars coming by. Not really a classy cafe, but more comfy and divey, if that makes any sense. Water glasses were filled promptly -- thank god because it was hot and we were thirsty. Pancakes, French toast, eggs, and bacon were brought out quickly. Not the best I had, but hearty and filling for the very reasonable price! read more

Sssssssssoooooooooooooo......I may have had a weeeeeee bit too much to guzzle.....and I mmmmmmaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy have had a hankerin' for a meatloaf sammy which NOTHING else could quell :-) There were a handful of options which popped up on seamless.....but nothing looked right! Then, I found Daybreak. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. The roll wasn't what I hoped (on sight)...and I was a weeeeee bit knackered. But I grumbled, and took a bite. OMG!!!!! This is now my go-to meatloaf sammy spot! The meatloaf? Solid. Bacon all up on the sammy? YES, PLEASE!!!! It was just as I ordered. I didn't have to reheat the jalapeno poppers I ordered on the side. Delivery was a decent time from when I placed the order. And the prices really aren't that bad. I'll def order again for this sammy....and I may just keep going through the menu! read more

Omelette was horrible, filled to the brim with brown spoiled avocado, which was described as being on top. Amazed that somebody thought it looked good enough to put in a box and send to a customer. When grub hub called them on my behalf, they refused to refund or re-deliver. read more

This is a small deli style eatery right off Northern Blvd. It's fast and reasonable. The service is adequate and the food is quite good. I'm not going to call it a destination spot, but if you're in the hood, and need quick eats, trry it. I enjoyed my pancake breakfast there. read more

Found this while waiting for our car to be serviced. Omelettes were great, atmosphere was clean and friendly. Recommend this for people in the area. read more

Daybreak Cafe Restaurant - the interior of a restaurant - Diners Near Me - Long Island City, New York

No weekend is complete without stopping in to this reliable and consistent oasis. I've lived in this neighborhood going on 4 years and my only wish is that it was here the whole time. The food is consistently good and the service is impeccable. A great neighborhood that I will definitely miss. Always a fan of the chilaquiles, but I can't say no to the Athenian omelette either! read more

Daybreak Cafe Restaurant - Mmmm...coffee at daybreak! - Diners Near Me - Long Island City, New York

I normally come here when I'm on break when around the neighborhood. I enjoy a nice late breakfast there and they are very nice staff and good food. The only issue I always get is when I'm ready for my check and the waitress either disappears or she try to seem busy and I don't care for that attitude. It makes me a little mad and not want to tip & so far they have not received a tip from me since the 1st time I went and the girl set a high bar. Either way the food is diner food and nothing to scream about to home about but it was well enough. read more

Always the best Nutella pancakes. But they decrease the amount of Nutella on the pancakes. So sad... :/ But still, a great cheap breakfast/ brunch place if you are in Astoria! read more

The order arrived quickly and the delivery person was nice. The food was still hot and was great quality, especially for the price. This will be my new go-to cafe. read more

Was a regular customer... I ordered food online and waited almost 2 hrs before I was informed through yelp Eat24 that the restaurant was cancelling my order cause they had screwed up my estimated delivery time and basically didn't want to deal with an angry customer. read more

I just had my order canceled because they didn't have 2 out of the 3 items I ordered. Seriously??? Cheese ravioli and a veggie burger? Too exotic? Won't bother with this place again! read more

Decent breakfast menu, timely delivery, on Seamless!

Would have loved to try the food here but had such a bad experience with delivery. Waited an hour and And a half for our order. When we finally got the order every single item we ordered was wrong. Paid extra for side of bacon, wasn't there. two iced coffees we ordered, wasn't there, ordered an omlete, the sausage and cheese we paid extra for, you guessed it wasn't there. Ordered pancakes, no syrup or butter or anything came with it. When we called to see what was wrong the guy on the phone was extra rude. Told us they were going to pick the food up, waited for them again, never showed. Horrible. Really horrible. Didn't even bother to eat at that point. Had to eat at another place. Had to call seamless to get a refund. The restaurant didn't even want to refund us. read more

Very nice service, food is a bit mixed but pretty good. My avocado bacon omelet was yummy but the home fries were just okay. The free wifi was wonderful especially while waiting for my car at Manner's Motors across the street. read more

The food here is excellent. I had a pastrami and mozzarella omelette. The coffee was good and strong, and I received a refill promptly. The server could probably cheer up a bit, but the service was prompt and accurate. The homefry potatoes were seasoned and cooked very well. The toast was not too buttery. Overall I really enjoyed this place and I'm glad I came in. read more

Best delivery in Astoria, friendly staff and super delicious food. Best place for early breakfast delivery or late night munchies. They deliver even in the rain. Great burgers and onion ring and breakfast omelets are to die for. Price can't be beat, all our meals were under $20. read more

They are a normal diner. Their prices are pretty cheap compared to other neighboring diners. I ordered a delivery from GrubHub and my food came within thirty minutes. Great service, mediocre food. read more

Don't order using GrubHub. Their rude and not very tech savvy employees will likely refuse to deliver your order due to their very limited (and mysteriously unlisted) delivery zone, then refuse to issue you a refund because you should have somehow known this would be an issue. read more

Good service just very slow......... This place is too hot to dine in during hot days. Even with the open walls and fan. The food was good. read more

Best sweet potato fries I've ever had!!! My wife also loves the LOX omelette. Delivery is quick and the food is great for what it is.

Wouldn't be my ideal spot to go to. Everything was so so, including the service. Don't regret going but food is nothing i'd want to pay for again. read more

Best burgers in Astoria. Best Diner in Astoria affordable to. Wish I can give more stars

This place it's really good, the best breakfast on Astoria, thanks Xavier jes so nice ,try will gonna like!!!
