We had the pleasure of eating in this wonderful place a few weeks ago. We were visiting my MIL and had a party of 5. It was a Sunday morning and we didn't have a reservation. We were seated quickly as they were clearing the tables as soon as people left. The food was great! The service was great! We did not feel rushed to leave. It was a nice place and I know that we will be back! read more

They serve a good, solid breakfast. I have only gotten my food "to go" so I can't comment on the service. However, I am a fan of anyplace that I can get a good breakfast for a reasonable price with a smile. read more

Good food for reasonable price. Owner is living the American dream. Support this place!

We came here based on the Yelp reviews. This seemed to be the best breakfast place in town. We were not disappointed! Great food, nice staff and a good price. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Long time fan - usually breakfast on Sunday, but also an occasional dinner on Wednesday. Breakfast is make your own skillet for me - always hot and delicious. Dinner is tilapia with baked potato. Both are a can't miss. read more

On a 6 hour road trip from n/w Chicago to Santa Clause, Ind we stopped at a Harley store to look around and asked them for a suggestion for breakfast. Even though New Day Cafe was in the opposite direction, we doubled back and we were not disappointed. My daughter and I split a veggie omelette with crispy hash browns . Food was delicious and service excellent. Next time in I'll have to try the fruits of the forest pie. Definitely worth the money! read more

The food was ok, nothing to write home about. I was there with 4 family members for breakfast. I have a condition that prevents me from eating more than a few bites of food (seriously I eat about 3oz of food at a meal.) I requested a half order of cinnamon French toast and was told by the server "he won't let me do that" I'm assuming "he" refers to the owner or manager. I'm not quite sure why it would be a big deal to split an order of French toast in half. read more

I had a server just treated me bad while I was there. Rolled her eyes when I asked for something, had attitude in her voice, very unattentive. I watched her with her other tables and she was sweet and attentive to them. So I took that as why give the young 21 yr old good service because they don't tip. Mistake on her part, I'm a server to and always leave 50% I left this women nothing. I gave this place 3 stars because the food is great the prices are fair and all the other servers I had were great. read more

New day café has a wide variety of items for breakfast. Very casual dining. Service was very good. Our omelettes, however, we're somewhat dried out. Their prices are very reasonable. read more

Without a doubt , this is the best restaurant in terre haut , very friendly owners, always consistent food, reasonable prices, beats the chains by a country mile in price and quality... Enjoy , we do , several times a week, and we're fussy... read more

In Terre Haute to visit relatives. Read the reviews here on yelp. I am a morning person, so I was there shortly after 6am. The wait staff was not very friendly,on each of the three mornings that I was there. Note: If you don't want to be there, then find a different job! I ordered the eggs,bacon,and hash browns w/coffee. The bacon was so thin you could read the newspaper through it. No taste to the hash browns. The coffee is good. read more

13 of us met for pre-graduation breakfast, that's a lot of people all at once. They (Katie) were awesome and professional as they served us quickly and efficiently. Food was delicious and reasonably priced! Definitely recommend Mew Day Cafe! read more

My husband and I love to go out for breakfast at local places when we are traveling. New Day Cafe was clean and looked inviting when we first walked in. I ordered a cheese omelet with cheddar and swiss and sliced tomatoes on the side. The omelet was cold and the cheese on the inside was lumpy and hard, not melted like it should have been. The tomatoes were dry and had a pale pink color, unappealing to look at and worse to taste. The rye toast was fresh but only a fourth of it was buttered which left the rest very dry. I tried to eat it, but finally gave up and told the waitress. I ordered a waffle instead which was served hot and crispy on the outside, but mealy on the inside. I am not from Terre Haute, but if I ever pass through again, I will try the IHOP next door instead. In their defense, the waitress was very apologetic and accomodating. This is the first review I have ever written. read more

The service is really good, the atmosphere is diner all the way. The food is good, but not anything to rave about. Prices are good and portions are large. Breakfast is by far the best aspect of New Day Cafe. We have eaten here 6-7 times, we have never been disappointed, but never been wowed either. Standard diner food, priced about where it should be. A lot easier to get in and out of, than at the chain restaurants. Menu is vast, there is truly something for everyone on their menu. Consistent, but nothing spectacular. read more

Wanted to go to a restaurant that we don't have in our town. Wished that I had gone to another restaurant. When I saw that they had grilled chicken in the Diet Platter (poor name for most people that don't like diets or reminded that they are on one). I asked the waitress to tell the cook that I need it gluten free. She came back and told me that it was already prepared with gluten. Could the waitress asked if I wanted to change my order or not place the order at all. Fortunately I had Gluten Ease to help but the chicken was bland and the peached tasted like they came out of a can that had heavy syrup ( how diet is that). The cook needs to learn how to make foods that don't have high allergens or for Dietary needs. The manager needs to cater to the customers and not the cook. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE OR PROBLEMS WITH WHEAT. read more

I had their delicious classic eggs benedict for breakfast this morning, it was one of their specials so it was also at an awesome price! Even though they were very busy we were seated quickly, and our food was out in a flash. Staff was also very friendly. Would have given 5 stars except my husband thought his biscuits & gravy was a bit runny. Will definitely go again if ever back in the area. read more

I'm a Becky's or Bev's gal when I visit my folks in Terre Haute- I never thought I'd eat elsewhere until a Saturday gave me reason to branch out (both my regular places are closed Saturdays). New Day Cafe is a rose among thorns, tucked in between chain behemoths on 3rd avenue, a stone's throw from 70. It looks like it might have been a tiny Taco Bell back in the day, but I have no idea. The place has been lovingly made-over into a quintessentially Midwestern Diner. We had an incredibly reasonable, excellent breakfast including the kind of potatoes that are sliced perfectly & then allowed to get really brown & crusty on a griddle (my idea of breakfast heaven). The omelets are the kind that have that "what IS that?" quality that takes them to a whole other level- it's not just egg in there... maybe some flour...? Very thin & crepe-like, wrapped around exactly the right amount of ingredients-- I live in a city FILLED with breakfast joints & honestly, this is one of the best omelets I've had in recent memory. Portion sizes are just right & you don't leave feeling like you licked a dirty grill or that you've got a cup of grease sitting at the bottom of your stomach. Coffee is decent (but not noteworthy)-- that's the only thing that kept this place from 5 stars for me. Excellent, attentive (but not oppressive) service. We will always come here on Saturdays! read more

Love this place. Amazing chicken and good servers. Reminds me of an old fashioned dinner. There not to expensive so I recamemed this place.

New Day is amazing. Honestly, I've only ever gone for breakfast but that's all I need. Their coffee is spot on!

First time experience this morning and couldn't be more happy! Our waitress was Destiny (sorry if misspelled) and she was wonderful! I ordered the wrong meal at first and she happily fixed it for me. Definitely going back. read more

After spending six weeks traveling around the west, we were bound to hit a bad restaurant. My husband ordered an egg white omelet and home ("American") fries and toast. The toast was just slightly warm, however, the omelet and potatoes were good. I, unfortunately ordered a salad, the supposedly delicious catfish and a baked potato (because the mashed are instant.) The iceberg lettuce salad was just that - lettuce. No onions, ONE cucumber slice, and ONE cherry tomato. Sad. A large basket of crackers came along with my salad. Not impressed with packaged crackers. The entree arrived. The potato was slightly warm and very underbaked. I sent it back. The green beans were canned and tepid. Frozen beans dressed up with some toasted almonds would have been good. What kind of restaurant serves cold canned beans?The catfish, normally a rather thick fillet, had obviously been starved for months as it was the thinnest fillet of fish I've eve seen. The breading outweighed the fish. The second potato arrived and while hot, was still a bit undercooked but I ate it because I was very hungry. Needless to say, if you are forced to eat here, go for the breakfasts! read more

As a Restaurant General Manager I don't normally write on these, however this morning my boyfriend and I are passing through town and debated on what to eat. We stopped and went on here and read the reviews for this cute little cafe and thought why not. We SHOULD NOT HAVE. If I wanted canned breakfast I would have gone to Wal-Mart and bought myself canned potatoes, hash browns, imitation bacon and jarred sausage gravy. "I don't even know if it was sausage in the gravy". It was over cooked, the only thing that was close to fresh were the eggs and NOTHING had flavor. We added more salt and pepper to our meal that I think we emptied the shakers and the corned beef have hash tasted like the can. I can't say anything nice about the food. The service was nice, clean bathroom and restaurant as a whole I will never return to this place and I'm sure I will be back in this area again. I should have just thrown $23.49 not including tip out the window down the expressway. read more
