Day by Day Cafe
477 7th St W, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood gathering spot transforms breakfast into an event with a stunning back patio complete with a koi pond and whirlygigs, where you can linger over generous stacks of pancakes and expertly crafted hot chocolate while your pup relaxes beside you. Day by Day has built its reputation on generous portions, surprising depth of execution (their French toast needs no embellishment), and an atmosphere so welcoming that regulars have been returning for years to meet friends and family in this charming Twin Cities institution. Whether you're catching an early-bird special, working through a leisurely breakfast indoors, or settling into the serene outdoor seating, this is the kind of place that becomes your favorite without you planning for it to be.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

The food is tasty and the omelette was surprisingly delicious. French Toast tasted so good it did not even need butter or syrup. The outside area is serene and charming, and the overall decor is quaint and memorable. It is one of the best cafés I have been to and I would visit…
This cafe is so cute! They have a ton of gluten free options. The food was 4/5, just slightly underseasoned. Other than that our experience was amazing. Our server was John and he was an angel! The coffee is very good and they have soy and oat milk options. The atmosphere is…
