Morning Star Cafe: Your Go-To Spot for Comfort Food in NYC

I had a wonderful breakfast at this The Morning Star Cafe and will definitely be back. The waffles were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - with good flavor. The croissant french toast was a new concept for me but delish. The breakfast sausage was flavorful and cooked just right. My coffee stayed hot throughout the meal, which I always appreciate - with several refills. Beyond the quality of the food, the service really stood out – our server was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. It’s the kind of place that gets the fundamentals right and makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a solid, satisfying breakfast, I’d highly recommend stopping by. This is a great breakfast spot.

Awesome blueberry pancakes (see photo), and overall great comfort food experience. Came back another day and tried their burger. They got the meat wrong: served medium well while I ordered medium rare. The burger was good though: juicy and with a good amount of mushrooms and Swiss cheese.

Gabriel and Juan are the best....truly. Will always come back because I cant describe their hospitality and genuine kindness. Always reliable and a place to trust. They see you as a person and not just a dollar sign. They take care in what they do and take care of the people who come through. Whether its toast or soup...they make sure you are take care of like family. What a neighborhood should feel like. Thank you!

This place was really, really good. I didn’t think it was going to be anything special. But I ordered the croissant French toast, 2 scrambled eggs and sausage. The French toast was huge! And it was just one piece; they offer two. The sausage was probably the best thing. It was the fat links but I think they deep fry them because they were crispy and delicious! I will probably go there again for breakfast and I’m only in NY for 4 days.

I’ve been here a few times now for breakfast and always had a good experience. The Philly omelet is very good, as is the farmers one too. I tend to have the salad instead of home fries, but that’s just me. The pancakes are also excellent. Definitely worth a visit, and it’s 24 hours for part of the week.

Excellent spot with fresh, hot and delicious breakfast! We had the Belgian waffle which was perfectly cooked. Also had a Grilled Cheese and BLT, both were delicious as well. Highly recommend for a hot, delicious breakfast, quick service and comfy atmosphere.

Type of New York City breakfast Style Staff are kind. In hurry a bit Breakfast was tasty Seats are in diner style (Bench) I will come here back again.

The hospitality at Morning Star Cafe is truly remarkable. The staff is attentive and kind, often recognizing regular patrons and their favorite dishes. Their bilingual team adds a wonderful layer of service, as many employees speak Spanish fluently. The kitchen is remarkably efficient, delivering meals made with fresh ingredients and excellent maple syrup without a long wait. If you need the facilities, they are situated on the lower level. This cafe is a perfect choice for a high-quality, friendly breakfast.
