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.

Thank you!

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.

There wasn’t much wrong with the food, but the service was absolutely horrible. I got there, and the server didn’t come to take our order for about 10 minutes — there was maybe one other table occupied in the restaurant.
They took too long to deliver the food, and once we finished, we had to wait way too long for them to deliver the check. Our waiter was very good with refilling our waters, but he brought the pitcher over when we asked for the check.
Then, when we were splitting our bill, and one of our party didn’t have his card ready, he didn’t come back for five minutes, and we had to go up to pay.

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.

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.

Dined here alone today for a quick breakfast (I live next door) and had a really uncomfortable experience at the end. I’m a regular and the food is amazing as always. Service is usually fast and efficient, which is why I keep coming back.
But this time, a service fee was added for a single guest without it being clearly explained upfront. When I asked about it, the staff member (young shorter guy) acted confused and said he wasn’t sure whether it was included, even though he had just prepared the check. What made this unacceptable was that when another guest asked if his tip was included, the staff member said “no” and then added something like “some folks don’t know…”, while I was standing right there. That kind of commentary is disrespectful and came across as profiling.
I tip 20%+ every time. The issue was the attitude – being treated like I wouldn’t tip, and being talked about instead of talked to. It also felt like I was being judged based on my accent and language. I hope this was a one-off and it is handled more professionally moving forward.

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.

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.
