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.

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.
