Very impressed w/coffee. Nice depth, rich flavor perfect temp. Wish 4 organic cream. The half N half has carageenan, preservatives. I can go without, but a splash of good cream makes it decadent.

Gr8 2meet Anthony- chatted up StarWars w/our son. Terrific GFCF bread from @GreatHarvest. The eggs were perfectly cooked, REAL ham was delish! My eggs bene was so rich & filling I could only eat 1/2.

Voted top 15 places to eat with kids! This sunny, cheerful, spacious St. Paul breakfast institution is so overrun with toys that we used to think a pack of overachieving preschoolers ran it.

Grab a booth , or if it'€™s nice out, a spot on the patio , and settle in, because this is the kind of comfort you're not going to want to leave quickly. Read more

The patio is delightful and is open to pups of all sizes. We were also genuinely surprised to get an entire carafe of coffee when we sat down. We'd definitely return.

We love it every time we come! Eclectic decor with charming urban garden . Decent cup if joe too stop during your delicious breakfast .

Not only are there toys in every nook, stack after stack of perfectly browned, custardy French toast with pecans , blueberries , and real maple syrup will have your child sitting down for this meal.

Great breakfast spot with a secret outside space for summer

Marieka Heinlen

I’d suggest Jeanne’s Breakfast with Avocado as a side!

There isn't a bad seat in the house. Coffee is great - bottomless cup. Food has been a little cold the last few times

John Lomnicki Sr

I never knew I liked cream cheese in my eggs until eating #9 on the breakfast menu , try it you'll love it!

Sara Goldammer

Get the salmon scramble - it was amazing! Best breakfast anywhere!

Thomas

Good food. Bad service. Must have tanked since first reviews went up. Needs management & a host/busser.

Kris Codling

All the breakfast food is delish! Caramel roll is orgasmic.

echoegami

Delicious food, friendly service , the Day by Day is a St Paul institution.

Steve Wright

Killer food, and cool environment. We did not have good service . No table check, and another server had to take our payment.

Sarah Hinde

The avocado burger is yummy...I substituted a chicken breast for the burger and got it on a whole grain bun . All the ingredients are really fresh and the decor is great!

Pioneer Press

Get the buckwheat pancakes with pecans , bananas and real maple syrup . And don't forget coffee .

One of the best patios in the Twin Cities—complete with multiple tiers and a koi pond . When given the option, always eat outside.

John Gower

If you like brunch (especially while sitting in a booth ) this is the place for you.

Really loud . Ambient noise is deafening. Great food, great staff , but avoid is noise bothers you.

Ali Ogren

Tuna avocado two thumbs up

Rob Z?

Don't believe the hype. This place is shit. They provide a generic lackluster menu and serve processed food condiments. At least the brewed Dunn Bros. coffee was good.

Arah Bahn

Get a muffin to start your Saturday breakfast here. They are such lovely elven loaves of goodness!
