Good Day Cafe has incredibly fast and friendly service, which made the experience enjoyable. There are some good options on the menu, and the food was decent--nothing that wowed me, but still solid. I'd definitely come back, but it's not something I'd crave all the time.

I brought some other friends to this fun brunch spot. No matter the day they are busy cause the food is just that good so if you have a large party definitely make a reservation if possible on Saturdays and Sundays. We had a party of three and waited like 25 minutes which isn't bad at all. I tried a different eggs Benedict this time called the Alaskan. It swapped the ham for salmon and was really good and fresh. I love their breakfast potatoes and the fact that they add onions. A chai tea latte is a must for me when I stop by. Definitely my favorite brunch spot in the twin cities area!

AMAZING BRUNCH! Food was sooo yummy (definitely recommend anything with the potatoes). Place was packed and we still got our food quick. Gives a mom and pop diner vibe. Already looking to go back to try the French toast!

Stopped here for breakfast on a weekday. It was pretty busy but service moved along pretty well. I ordered the bread pudding French toast, GDC potatoes & a raspberry sorbet mimosa. I love that they don't use raisins in the BP French toast. The potato's were good but I kind of wish I got hash browns instead. Also the side portion of potatoes is pretty big & shareable. The mimosa was good. My mom got the berry mimosa which she enjoyed as well. Overall service was good, food was good & I would for sure come back.

We had a really nice breakfast. Restaurant was very busy which made for a nice ambiance. We had the biscuits and gravy, which was very good. Biscuits were fluffy and gravy had good flavor and slightly spicy, would of liked more gravy though.. Classic eggs benedict was good as well. Eggs cooked perfect and hollandaise sauce was good though a bigger/thicker piece of Canadian bacon would have been nice. It was so small and thin you could barely taste it. We also had the mushroom and Swiss omelete. Omelette was good as was the sauce (we got a little extra sauce on the side), wish it would have came with a side of toast but still yummy. All entrees came with potatoes with sautéed onions which were very good, though we each received very different amounts of potatoes on our plates. Service was very good. Plenty of parking. We will certainly be back.

Very good food and menu, excellent location, I just advise that you make reservations otherwise you'll have a long wait especially on Sundays.

This restaurant is truly one of those legacy spots that has stood the test of time for over 25 years. It's not just the food that draws you in, though the dishes are consistently excellent--it's the whole experience. The ambience exudes a warm, nostalgic charm, making it a go-to for families. It's heartwarming to see seniors bringing in their kids and grandkids, sharing the tradition and memories that come with dining here. The vibe is incredibly family-friendly, filled with laughter and conversation, which adds to the overall appeal. However, be prepared for some parking challenges, especially during peak hours--it's a testament to the restaurant's enduring popularity. I used to live right next door and found myself dining here at least twice a week, a habit I dearly miss.

Always on the hunt for a good breakfast spot, this one popped up when I entered "Breakfast near me" after an early morning photo shoot at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. I was very happy I went. My server came over immediately and brought my coffee promptly. In those few moments, I'd spotted my meal: house-made corned beef hash and eggs, which came with "spicy ketchup" on the side. The hash was the best I've had other than Hereford (which is no longer made) and the ketchup second only to Sir Kensington's (which is no longer made, either). It's a lively place so can get a little bit noisy, but in a fun sort of way. Getting there involves some convoluted side streets, so your GPS can be a real asset. But it's definitely worth the trip if you love a good breakfast.

Energetic, 90 decibel level ambiance with good breakfast options. If you are sensitive to loud noises, the acoustics in the main eating area are terrible. It's the equivalent of a loud hair dryer in your ear for the entire meal. I'd recommend trying to go during off peak hours. The food itself was tasty. Homemade sausage was good, both in the scramble and in the biscuits with gravy. The potatoes are on the greasy side but definitely edible. We tried a German pancake. It was good but would taste better if served with syrup. All in all, good food options. It's just the noise levels are quite deafening.

I had an all-around good experience at this fine establishment, and that's why I am giving them full five stars. I was impressed by not only the welcoming feel, decor, sitting area, and cleanliness of the restaurant but also with the friendly & nice service on a busy day (due to public holiday), the menu options, and the quality of food. This restaurant is a family owned business, and they serve a delicious variety of food that's made fresh with locally sourced ingredients. This review is based on my first visit, and I have been here only once so far. We were a party of five looking to hedge brunch, and their was a wait of about 25 minutes when we got here in Memorial Day. First of all, we were glad they were open on a holiday. They were quite busy. The wait time wasn't bad, and it didn't even take us full 25 minutes to get seated. On top of that, we got a good big table away from the main crowd where the noise level was high. Our server was friendly, courteous, and attentive. She came to attend to us right away. We placed our drinks order and kid's meal order first and took a bit more time to decide on the brunch entrées. I got myself a Bloody Mary. For my brunch entreé, I shared a plate of their Mushroom and Spinach souffle omelet with onions, gruyère cheese, and gruyère cream sauce and a side of lightly fried potatoes and Almond crusted Brioche with strawberry compote and sour cream . The other folks in my party ordered the Big Luigi, which was an omelet with assorted veggies and sausage. The food came out promptly. It was delicious. The omelet was fluffy and flavorful. I really liked the gruyère cheese and the cream sauce. I also ordered a side of chorizo patties. The Good Day Cafe potatoes they were the side dish were also really good. I liked the potato skin that was still on the potatoes. The Almonds crusted Brioche was unique in the sense of its preparation. It was not like a typical French toast. It wasn't too sweet. The strawberry compote and sour cream paired well. My Bloody Mary was pretty good, too. It had a nice kick to it as I had asked it to be made spicy. Last but not least, I stopped by at their bakery & coffee shop counter to get some pastries to go. I got a could of different kinds of scones. We had a great experience here. Our server did a wonderful job with helping and serving us. Good Day Cafe also serves lunch and dinner. I hope to go back to try their dinner dishes. If you happen to be or live in the Minneapolis area, then check out Good Day Cafe in Golden Valley, MN. It's a good place (no pun intended) for delicious meals and drinks.
