    Look at all that turkey!
    Annalisha M.

    I haven't been here since fall and they have gotten a upgrade! They are not in the little house anymore, they have moved to the building right next door on the golf course. Great view and a bigger space. The owner Lori is super nice and accommodating. She makes super bomb sandwiches. The menu didn't have exactly what my boyfriend wanted, but she made it happen! They do not serve clam chowder anymore, which is a super bummer because it was really yummy. But I totally understand why they stopped, the owner said they just weren't selling enough. This is pretty much the only place to eat in Ocean Park and lucky for us, it is super good! Stop by and support this small local business. Open 11-5 every day!

    Delicious, thick and creamy clam chowder.

    Delicious, freshly prepared food, friendly service, reasonable prices, a nice selection of bottled beers, daily specials, yummy desserts...what more can you ask for? We love the food at Great Day Cafe! Whether dropping by before or after a round of golf or just cruising over for lunch, there is no better place for lunch in Ocean Park. Limited indoor seating and cash only payment are minor inconveniences (there are several tables outside for sunny days and an ATM is next door in the Surfside Golf clubhouse). The panini sandwiches and soups are always delicious. It's so nice to have a great place to eat on the north end of the Peninsula!

    As we were wandering around the peninsula our stomachs began to growl. Google suggested this cafe so we decided to give it a try. It was already 2 so not to spoil our supper we chose to share a Reuben Sandwich and a soda. Much to our surprise it was delivered to us outside with each of us receiving a huge half sandwich, chips and a delicious refreshing Lemon Coconut Cookie with no up charge. The perfect lunch on a perfect day.

    What a perfect name for this darling cafe ! Keep up the good work guys !!!

    See all

    None of the staff were wearing masks. True disregard for public health and safety measures. Will not be returning.

    Took my BFF out for her birthday to Lemon Hill Restaurant next door to my apt. We didn't have…read morereservations, but just walked in; and the Chef said yes to our unplanned late last table arrival. It was either a two-course or a three-course meal $29 +$47 respectively. We did 3 each starting with homemade pimento cheese with celery sticks, sweet peppers sliced, and crustini. I'm not a big fan of the jarred commercial pimento cheese. This was extremely good. Tasting the peppers inside the cheese ball that you choose how and where to spread it. B+ maybe even A- for the flavor of the cheese and presentation. 2nd Course of shrimp etouffee. It was okay but too thin of a sauce due to a not dark enough roux. Flavors are spot on, shrimp are tender and delicious. A- for the effort to take on roux dishes. 3rd Course was a delicate hazelnut chocolate mousse in a champagne fluted crystal glass. Topped with a light whipped cream to find the dessert level. It had multiple layers of flavor in different areas of the mouth and nasopharynx. A+ for presentation and depth of flavor in a chocolate pudding! Cup of coffee to end the meal, so really 4 courses. The bookstore surrounds the entire restaurant. Very unique experience. Get reservations or try your luck with the Chef near 6:15 pm for a late exception allowed to slip in. Monthly menu then changed up, only work dinner shift on Fridays. Rest is lunch for Courthouse folk. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Overall Score A PS. There were other choices but I didn't try them so, another review for the future... Usually I photograph the food and menu, glucose meter said low so we ate in haste to also not keep entire restaurant open for just us, which we did anyways. And, chef and waitress were great at conversing while closing. PPS. I lived in NOLA next-door to Tulane University and two houses from St Charles Streetcar for 3 years, and have been chef of restaurants in past. Roux Cajun style is an artwork I love and understand

    Lovely cafe, right down to the book shaped plates. Any meal eaten surrounded by books is…read moreautomatically better. The people are pleasant and cheerful. The turkey and spinach crepinettes were flavorful and the housemade cranberry mustard was the perfect accompaniment. The French potato salad and haricot vert were nice sides. I had the chicken sandwich with lemon pepper mayo and cauliflower soup. The mayo really brightened the sandwich. There was a generous amount of roast chicken and the bread was chewy and tasty. And then there's the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. Sigh
