Reviews of Day by Day (Catering)

Madelyn

Delicious potato pancake eggs benedict!

Asha Advani

Went for brunch on a Sunday. They had a large variety of creative items on the menu. Service and food was great. Large portions!

Kelly D'Orazio

I put together a Pool Party for work and used Day by Day for the food. They arrived at the exact time promised and the food was fantastic!!! Meg helped me pick the menu out for our occasion and it was PERFECT!! Everyone thought it was amazing and I was thrilled because of this. Highly recommend the catering services and can't wait to use them again!!

Mo Manklang

There service here was terrible. After my friend ate, he got terribly sick to the point of throwing up- possibly bc of the food, possibly not. He very politely let the server know that there *might* be an issue with the food. The staff was so intent on illustrating that it was not their fault that they berated him three different times by two different people about how it couldn't possibly be their fault. And then put up a huge fight when we politely asked for that dish to be taken off the bill. I'm perfectly willing to admit that there's a good chance that the problem wasn't the food- but making a scene over a $10 plate and publicly yelling at a sick person for five minutes IS a problem.

Marsha Simmons

Food was great. Must go again

Tom Boward

Very good casual dining. The whole staff takes a great deal of pride, and it shows in the quality of the food, cleanliness, and efficiency.

Mark Jeffries

Absolutely delicious lunch wraps. Friendly, welcoming staff in a clean and bright establishment.

Alison P

Very tasty. Get there early if you don't want to wait.

Marie Dry

Excellent food ! We had great eggs Benedict, all the produced were fresh and just cooked (it took a while for the plates to get to us so I guess they make it by order) but the service wasn’t great. We waited half an hour to get a table, some of the day’s specials weren’t available anymore while it was only 1pm on a Saturday. It took an hour for our food to be prepared and when we order desserts only one out of the two we ordered was given to us. It’s such a shame because the food really was spectacular!

Jim Marnell

Amazing place! Every dish seems like a showcase for their catering business. Staff couldn't be nicer. Very loyal customers.

Meghan West

The avo toast was delicious! Soyrizo options as well.

Nicole Smith Daniels

Good service and nice vegetarian and vegan options. The vegan banana bread french toast is delicious.

Zachary Sykes

The food here is phenomenal, the specials are constantly changing and its a great atmosphere for brunch. My only issue is if you come with a big group (5+ people), you're wait may be a bit longer than intended. That being said, it shouldn't deter you, I've never had a bad experience here.

Josep Valls

Delicious but standard brunch. A little slow.

Michael Koval

Simple decor, great food. Daily menu is unique and delicious. Wish this place was here when we lived in center city, we would have been regulars.

Matthew Cassella

Great place for breakfast. Had the bacon cheese and spinach omlet with rosemary potato's so crispy good. Pancakes were perfect as well as the Eggs Benedict. Freindly service to boot. Had to grab some baked good to go, see pic. Definitely will return.

Excellent. ..

update on 10/30, after i read quite a few negative comments on Yelp, i think this place is truely racist- all the reviews are mostly from POC. I have to say there are a few staff here I think are quite RACIST and the service was VERY, VERY uncomfortable ( went on 10/28/ 2017). For the start, I have come here so many times, since it is only 2 blocks away from where I live. I liked the cozy environment and food is alright. The service was inconsistent especially when I came with Asian friends ( I am Asian). There was one time the waiter gave us our coffee 20mins late, cold, and during the whole meal he never checked in what we need. (FYI my boyfriend and I usually tip around 18-20% even with this bad service). I thought I was being paranoid and decided to give it try on Saturday (10/28) after a weeklong stay-cation with my boyfriend. 1. I stood at the very front of the line for 10-15 mins and the 3 staff at the reception kept avoiding eye contact with me- they kept going back to the kitchen or going outside to find ppl on the waitlist. Same happened to the lady in front of me so I didn't think about it. However at the end I had to come up and find someone to sign my name on the waitlist, and got told the wait was 15-18mins. 2. After a few tables got cleaned, I thought it was my turn but they seated ppl who came in late first. At one moment, me and my boyfriend were the only ppl in the entire restaurant standing ( no lines and everyone got seated). And I clearly saw a couple just walked in and ask if there is any table for 2 without app ( the guy didn't check app schedule), and then they got seated. 3. Then I came to the front desk and ask if it is my turn, they found my name on the top of the tablet and pushed a button. Oh ok, now I got the text msg saying my table is ready. I wasn't sure if they didn't send text purposely. And then the waitress went back to kitchen without saying "brb" or anything, just left us hanging there no clue what's going on. 4. Then there is another crowd went in- here is the moment they got 2-4 staff coming out again because of this crowd. One was doing bills, and the guy who was supposed to seat us starting to look at the crowd to see if they can sign in, avoiding eye contact with me again. I couldn't stand and asked where was my table-he pretended to check on his tablet record, and the another staff came, CUT our conversation, and ask him to do something. Both staff left without any explanation-looked so busy. This is the moment that my boyfriend told me "I did think they wanna serve us", and I thought it was ridiculous and we just walked out. Will never return- and I encourage people to think about the service and observe the experience other ppl in different racial have in this place ( oh obviously, the place the 99.5% Caucasian of course.)

Kiko Cruz

Loved the brunch menu. Service is fast and great! Their coffee is great too.

Jonathan Lym

Great brunch location. Would definitely recommend!

Dylan Mitchell

Food was wonderful and service made us feel like we were with family

Mona Grüner

Sehr leckere Speisen. Alles super frisch! Burger, Sandwiches, Salate... Man fühlt sich wie ein "Einheimischer" :)

Ryan Warrender

Great spot for Sunday brunch.

Mandy Swope

I am reviewing Day By Day as both a caterer and as a lunch spot. Day By Day catered our recent wedding and they were wonderful, and I recommend them without any reservations. The food was outstanding - fresh, varied, beautifully prepared - and served perfectly. They bring a grill and prepare the food right before it's served. We were aiming for a casual but nice outdoor wedding - we got a lovely, elegant event without any pretension. The staff was excellent, and very well-managed. They timed everything perfectly and our day could not have been better. They even packaged the left-overs and helped us load our car. We have eaten at their lunch location several times, and have always enjoyed it. They have a fairly large regular menu, but you don't need it. The daily specials board has a nice variety including soups, interesting salads, sandwiches, quiche and entrees. They always have a nice selection of vegetarian fare. Everything is nicely prepared and the service is great. One additional comment - they have a number of staff members who work in the restaurant and on the catering crew that seem to have worked there for a long time. This indicates to me that they are well-managed and treat their staff well. In food service, this is a rarity and always enhances any dining experience. You should go to Day by Day at 21st and Sansom, and consider them for your catered events.

Annie Stone

We go there often! The food never disappoints. A favorite for many years.

Frank Hrin

One of my favorite lunch spots. The stir fry and bluefish over rice are the best.

Marisú Rueda

Absolute best place for Brunch in Philly! Eggs devil are the BEST. And their coffee too. Do not miss the opportunity to visit them. It is always packed, so if you don't mind a little wait, it would be a good place for starting the day!

Rahul Garg

Great ham and gruyere omelette. Don't miss the blackbread

Emily Boda

Great options, something for everyone.

Christy Poole

Nice spot for brunch. Visited at eight, it was not full. Definitely worth a return visit. Prices were appropriate. Makes me feel like I am back in Tucson.

Cara Orfanelli

Went for Mother's Day brunch. The food was excellent, the service was great! They have an excellent selection of brunch food, and specials. There are about 4 outside tables. They do not serve alcohol and it is very family friendly.

Diana Sweeney

Love this place! Had one of the specials this morning-polenta, asparagus, poached eggs...it was divine! Thanks so much to the entire staff!

Jennifer Hall

Loved the honey buttermilk chicken salad. Not only was it pretty (nice presentation) but it was also tasty! The light salad dressing is the perfect topper for it

Abe

Everything I've ordered from here has been good... except the vegan chorizo burrito. It was mushy and more mush with mush squeezing out of it. Definitely needs a solid crunchy element to it. Maybe some julienned carrot or cucumber. The lettuce on the side was wilted and old. Not docking points because every restaurant has a bad dish. Overall, the service is always good and the food comes out reasonably quickly. If all else fails, they have consistently tasty coffee (la colombe).

Lynn Hong

Very popular place for breakfast, lunch, and anything between. The servers are always bustling but the food is very delicious! It's always packed whenever I visit.

Sean D

Fizzy

Brook Noel

Very popular and busy brunch spot. I had the eggs Florentine which was very well done. My friend had the smoked salmon omelet...she was disappointed by the very little amount of salmon. She did not each much of it and no one asked why or checked in. Also did not receive coffee refill. On their behalf, it was a busy Sunday.

Robert Mendez

Great place to eat, great brunch spot

Joe Asercion

Reasonably priced, solid avocado toast, and delicious rhubarb coffee cake. What's not to like?

Shannah Reagan

pumpkin stuffed maple french toast was pretty killer. space is a little cramped but feels more cozy than anything.

Zoey G.

regardless of the below average service I received the day of my one and only visit (I had to get up to find my server more than once) i thought the food was OK... until I suffered from the most excruciating food poisoning. DONT EAT THE EGGS!

Dwayne McDuffie

YO!! This Banana Bread French Toast is the Business. #NomNomNom I'm about to go Slap the Chef.

Atticus Tsai-McCarthy

Good service, good food, good place

lawrence olsen

Excellent food. Casual

Danielle Harrison

Great food! Friendly staff.

Anand Mudaliar

Great brunch food.

Amazing Place To Eat

lydia neiswander

Very friendly and the food was awesome! We had some pastries and they were very good. Some of the flavors I would not have thought of putting together. This was a very popular place for brunch.

Theodore Kail

Day by Day is a cozy delicious spot in downtown Philadelphia. I can’t say enough about how incredible the food is! Management is top notch and may waitress May was professional, knowledgeable and very kind. I recommend this establishment highly and I will be back l! Everyone stop by and Visit Day by Day!!

Shameika Harris

Came here before going to a festival and it was amazing. It was a Sunday, and it was brunch time so you automatically should know that there will be a wait. We didn't wait for that long, however I'm glad it was a nice day outside. I ordered the Challah French toast with fresh berries & whippe-O-cream and a side of bacon & cheese eggs. It was very good. The french toast was nice and fluffy. One thing about this place is that you have to really bring cash if you are with a group of friends. You cannot split the check up in regards to what you bought. You have to split it down the middle. Honestly, it was too complicated but eh.

Lz presso

虽然最后被服务生小姑娘撒了牛奶，但咖啡还是好喝的，吃的也不错。

LI Jingchen

Brunch is nice and cheap

Altinay Cortes

This place usually has good tasty food but the last time I went service was much slower than usual and my food was served cold. My cinnamon bun was delicious, however.

Ayele Ajavon

I was visiting Philadelphia last week and all I wanted was some White Fish Salad from Day by Day. I was able to coerce a friend of mine to take me for lunch and it was everything I remembered and more. Although, the restaurant was out of bagels.. How does a Jewish restaurant run out of bagels especially with a store right next door? Anyway, I got my fix of White Fish Salad and it was goood!!!!

Diana Rosa Leyra

First and last time there. Food is good but not great, while service is horrible. Employees seem perpetually annoyed.

Storm L

38 years day by day has been one of the go to lunch spots in Philadelphia. It only gets better with the amazing brunch on Sundays.

Lisa Richard

Food was great, server was very considerate

Ryan Cappleman

Terrible experience, long wait and our table was either given away or never existed when their text service alerted us they were ready, couldn't accommodate a patron that needed to sit while waiting, rude hostess that didn't apologize for the error.

Eric Martin

Best brunch in Philly. Been here many times and always have a positive experience. It's my go-to breakfast spot

David Powell-Cameron

Were it not for the elderly figurehead, this place would've closed long ago. Ordered french toast . Arrived in a bowl. Brown mass in a white bowl. No garnish. The kitchen conversations dominate the room when its slow, as it was that day. No music. Just a brown mass and vulgar kitchen chat. Oy! Dreary. Left almost immediately, challenged-cashier unable to operate ccard machine. Disappears for a bit. In Summer, labored air con provides condensation drippings on your table from the many ceiling vents. You decide .

Isaiah Gi

Wait wasnt long and service was great. Brunch unrivaled

Paul M

Excellent Sunday Brunch spot.

Mathew Underwood

The baked goods and pies are really good.

matthew poley

Most overated brunch in the city!

Martin Corbin

Server was unfriendly and inattentive. One meal was really good but the other was barely eatable. The place was pretty full and as a result it was very LOUD.

Adam Kapp

A short wait on Sunday morning, but a great brunch experience. Great huevos rancheros.

shannon davis

Great breakfast, but they charge $3 for each cup of coffee so don’t ask for a refill.

Alex Haynes

Great brunch, get here before they open to lock down a table!

James Matthews

The brunch menu is amazing! Everything we tried was delicious. Liked it so much, we came back the next morning.

Ethan Solomon

Solid brunch, but not worth the hype/wait.

Sumitra Badrinathan

Third time going back here, and loved it just as much.

Bob Fleischman

Always great food

Idg Burt

It was a delightful experience. The food was good. The coffee cup was constantly refilled. The waitress was courteous.

Chea

Great place to have breakfast/brunch in Philly. Haven't had a bad experience yet. Nice selection of food and baked goods. Wait times can be long so try to show up earlier than you want to eat.

Kenni Crane

All ways wonderful food and service

Susan Handis

I have been there many times. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent! They treat you like one of the family! I plan to go today for lunch. That is why it is usually crowded around lunch. It’s easier to get a table at 11:30 AM when it opens.

Andrea Johnson

Wow what a breakfast. Pastry basket is a must.

DatNiccaTrendz .

Extremely delicious! Especially the stuff french toast with the peach sauce!

PHL Reviews

Great Neighborhood spot. We went for brunch and had a good time and ate amazing food. Nothing fancy, if you are looking for a more laid back casual place.

Randall Blackwell

I've walked by Day by Day every day for years after 4:30. It closes at 2:30. I had a half day and decided to go for lunch. They serve brunch Friday through Sunday. I got the sweet potato and chorizo hash, with 2 eggs over it and some pumpernickel toast. Wow, so delicious. But for a special, they had a pancake Benedict, it sounded divine.

Sam Parks

Great place! Service is spot on, food is awesome, and price is even better. This is my regular weekend brunch place.

David Lee

An average place to get brunch in Philly. Byob champagne only.

Erik Montpetit

Great lunch place. Quick friendly service.

krb brk

My fiancé ranted and raved about the quality of food here but when it came down to our wedding Stephen took over a month to get back to us. He stated that he had a injured foot but in no way would that prevent someone, who submitted a full schedule from their list of choices, a month to get a quote. Stephen completely dropped the ball and had excuses after excuses why he couldn't provide her with a quote. Unprofessional, never again.

Sean-Michael Hennessy

Check your drop ceiling. I hadn't been to this spot in years. There is still a moldy drop ceiling. If you replacd one tile a year most of it would be clean. A fresh coat of paint and clean interior goes a long way. Also the home fries were no good. Hard to be a brunch spot with chewie weird potatoes. Staff were very attentive and warm.

Sciencia Paul

Best muffins!

Nathan Thillairajah

Awesome brunch with fantastic service!

Kevin Janssen

Great brunch. There's sometimes a wait, but it's not long and they contact you by phone so you can wander around in the area. Probably the best quality to wait time ratio in the city

Adam Herbst

I had a tremendous brunch here. Essentially, they have traditional brunch fare and then a twist on the brunch fare. The pancakes were fluffy and light. I had an eggs benedict variation with potato pancakes instead of muffins and smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon.

Rebecca Shugarts

This place had great food. Fresh local ingredients and nice enough staff. It's byob if you like. My only gripe is that it is tight in here space wise, so be prepared to make friends with your neighbor. But it's center city, space is at a premium so it's understandable. Menu fluctuates depending on seasonal fare.

Jody Du

The food is excellent! I've had the sweet potato and chorizo hash which is quite tasty. The restaurant gets very busy, but I never felt rushed. The prices are great and the service is fine.

Amy Hurley

Courteous wait staff, delicious food

Kartik Reddy

4/5 They have a good outdoor seating option for brunch and usually doesn’t have much of a wait for small groups. The bagel and lox is my favourite here but neither do they smoke their own salmon, or bake their own bagels. The apple cinnamon french toast was more like a simple French toast smothered in sweet caramel. Has 2 or 3 small apple slices and a tinge of cinnamon.

Mike Barg

Best brunch in Philadelphia. I'd go for the pastries alone, but the food is great too, and there's always new things on the menu

Marcus Wright

Very nice, relaxing atmosphere and tasty food. The servers were all pleasant. The carrot cake = highly recommended!

Tiffany McCarty

Yummy food! Great location!

Kate V

Day by Day consistently performs. Had a delicious BLT (added the avocado and egg) for lunch earlier this week - it’s my “go to.”

Delford Huffin

Yes

Don Rees

Outstanding food and very good selection. Nice stop for brunch everyday if you are in Center city.

Jennifer Kullgren

Had a great experience here. Menu has something for everyone. Service was excellent, Sarah and Nick took care of me and my friend. They were fun and helpful, and made brunch a highlight of my week. Looking forward to my next experience at Day by Day.

Jessica Kerler

Great breakfast! Hot and fresh every time I go

Amanda Cheng

Cozy place with outdoor and indoor seating. Came here right as it opened on a Friday for breakfast. Highly recommend the challah french toast. You get to control how sweet it is and it's topped with lots of fresh fruit. Overall very friendly staff. Pay at the counter.

Elena Mariscal

Delicious brunch. I tried the avocado toast and it has a great flavor. I guess it gets crowded but waiters try to be as fast as they can and they are young and attentive

Robert Fitzmaurice

Stopped by for early lunch the food is good brunch burger was delicious staff was fast and friendly will definitely return and recommend to others

MinJae Cho

The wait was excruciatingly long, but once seated, service was quick and attentive. I was not expecting the food to be very good, but wow. I was blown away. Very enjoyable (nothing exotic, but they manage to make it good) flavors, and everything was cooked right even though the place was overflowing with people. Price was reasonable, at $20–30 per person. Portions were big and we got really full.

Latoyia P

Great food, friendly staff. We're newer to area and from the west coast trying to find a place here with good Mexican or southwest food has been a challenge. This place has the best Huevos Rancheros we've had in Philly! Flavorful, nice amount of heat, fresh ingredients. They also had very well flavored challah french toast with berries and cream cheese, sweet without being overly sweet, fresh berries. Although line at the door, friendly staff to handle and relatively quick handling of turning over tables for seating. Our only complaint was the air conditioning...not giving off enough to really keep things cool, and on a hot muggy day, that made it a little challenge. As we are new here, not sure if this is the case for many restaurants in the area. We're used to 112 degrees temperatures where not having strong air conditioner is a deal breaker, so it's a matter of perspective. We will definitely return, as overall it was a great experience.

Denise Hurvitz

Great food and caters to gluten free

Evan Schlossman

Excellent brunch spot with a fun atmosphere. They don't take reservations so it's best for someone to get there early and put down a name. Highly recommend the specials which change frequently

CrazyCatLady Cynthia

I really enjoyed it! The menu was light and nutritious. I loved the salmon omelet and their roasted potatoes were bomb! Portions were just right, none of the monstrous portions I usually see. I get really bad heart burn and this place was just right for me, didn't irritate my stomach. They're cinnamon buns looked HUGE I wish i coudlve had one but it was too early in the morning for me to have something like that....if i go back I'd definitely buy one to share with friends.

Philip C Caccamo

I don't really no where to start, the meal I had which was spinach and crab Benedict had zero flavor virtually no hollandaise sauce. The crab did not taste fresh, the spinach was wilted beyond cooked, the potatoes it came with were burnt, cold and flavorless. My wife's potatoes were so over cooked it hard burnt crisp of rosemary on the side of it. We ordered 2 orders of the "big breakfast" which are supposed to come with muffins, not only did they not tell us they were out of muffins we had to ask about them, if you are out of part of a dish don't serve a partial dish and charge the same price. Now on to the horrible customer service, they began eating their staff meal before the restaurant was empty. To try and get something from your server to only find them eating at a table and enjoying their meal is rude. The positives:cook, coffee, and the eggs were cooked well a little under seasoned.

Abigail VanderLek

Great little neighborhood brunch spot

Bertha Bauer

The most fabulous food, plentiful and beautifully prepared. Cakes that rival the best bakeries in Europe. As a transplanted New Yorker I could not have asked for more professionalism from Meg in constructing the menu and seeing to details. This place is a gem!!

Dorothy Copeland

Stop asking me this question I only drive by the place haven't been there.

Nathan Walker

Best brunch in the city--hands down. For eight years, I've brought guests from Philly and from out of town to Day by Day and every single time it's a first-rate experience. First of all, the food is scrumptious, especially for brunch. I particularly love the vegi eggs Benedict with potatoes and a side biscuit. All the baked goods are made in house. The staff is particularly skillful--they've truly mastered the art of efficient service. The whole team is kind, friendly, and professional. And the catering menu is fantastic, too. The boxed lunches are always a hit.

Doug Barg

Save room for the baked goods! Too many favorites to list. Always fresh, always tasty, always something new.

Nick DeFeo

Good food, reasonable prices, varied menu

Yashmeet Kaur

Cinamon bun was delicious. Has decent vegan options

Robert Libkind

ladies who lunch quickly love it.

Leonie Campbell

The breakfast was very tasty! Definitely will go back when I come to city again

Dustin Covell

Came in on one of their worst days and still loved it. Four people were out sick, the reservation system was acting up, and our server got caught up for 10 min with one table within earshot for odd reasons...but the overall food and service were stellar as always. My wife had a breakfast sandwich with fresh fruit on the side and I had the tiramisu stuffed French toast. We both loved our food, though I didn't taste tiramisu per se. Overall, a great brunch again.

Vivek rai

Really good. They have vegan options as well. Nice service and good food.

Walter Turner

Great food, great service!

Matt Turley

Really enjoyed our breakfast - quick and friendly service. French toast and huevos rancheros we're both good choices but the specials looked good too. We'll definitely go back next time we are in the city.

seulberg lala

Queuing system in place, fast, friendly and great food. Excellent for a weekend brunch.

Rob S.

Strongly recommend this restaurant, its perfect for breakfast and the meals are well prepared.

Katelyn Inman

So many delicious items to choose from and on top of that it's a BYOB. Highly recommend sharing the bread basket, everything was delicious. We can't wait to come back.

Jeff Mitchell

Neato menu, excellent preparation, great service, good prices.

Tiffany Mosley

I really enjoyed what I ordered I tried a little of everything. It was packed with people which was an indication of how good the food was going to be. it was an intimate setting and everything was magnificent!

Jean Parry

I used to eat brunch here all the time. Brought friends last week and the food was off. My baked eggs were welllll done and practically rubber. Be prepared for a wait.

Melissa Gurmankin

Truly delicious food and friendly service!

Stephanie Urciuoli

The food here is pretty good. I ordered the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and potato pancakes. The eggs were cooked perfectly with a nice amount of Hollandaise sauce as were the potato pancakes which were nice and crispy and thin. The smoked salmon however was too overwhelming for this dish due to the smoky flavor which was a bit overpowering, and the amount of salmon that came with the dish was a little excessive. As a result, I felt that the salmon took away from both the potato pancakes and the eggs, which should be the star of the dish. I also tried the pineapple French toast which was also pretty nice. It wasn’t too sweet which I liked, although it was a tad too thick since it was made with a bit too much egg in my opinion. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about. The place looks like a diner, and the service isn’t the best, but they are very friendly, which is what really matters. Oh, and one other thing: the portions aren’t that big, so take that as you will. 4.4 Stars. Xoxo foodie girl

Carroll Tillman

Very nice & delicious!

Ben Proshek

Great pastries.

Kristopher McDonough

Visiting from out of town, we found this place on the way to the Mütter museum. It was amazing. Service was great. I had the black bread BLT with two over easy eggs, it was super tasty and messy enough to be fun. She had oatmeal raisin pancakes, which were even better, with just a hint of cinnamon. Service was great. I definitely would recommend this place.

Nyan Myint

Good brunch place. But the waiting line to be seated is quite long.

Lionel Nicolau

One of the top brunch places in Philadelphia! Challah French toast is always a good choice.

maria nowakowski

Wonderful :) on the pricey side - $30+ for eggs Benedict & omlette.

Waide Hemphill

The best of the best, right in the neighborhood.

Cayla Frontino

Amazing food and atmosphere! I've been here multiple times, and the service never fails to please their customers. Also recently left my camera at a table, and the staff went out of their way to call and make sure it was mine! Thank you Day By Day for being the BEST brunch place in Philadelphia!

Sam Nissenfeld

Meh

Joe Purdy

Best place ever. The people are friendly and the service is astounding. The food is beyond words.

Ian Usher

My parents and I stopped by for Easter brunch. It was incredibly busy and we waited for about forty minutes before being seated. That being said, it was well worth the wait. I had the Classic Eggs Benedict and it was to die for. My parents also loved their food. A+ on the service as well.

Joanna Tober

Very affordable, very delicious and will be back.

Jamil Abu Hader

Rainy day so you would think less people would be out for brunch... not so at Day by Day! I called ahead to see if they would take a reservation (they don't), but the girl was very nice on the phone. Originally our wait was only supposed to be 20 minutes, but when they had a table for us our whole group wasn't there (my sister was on the Saturday struggle bus) so we had to wait for her to get there... the place was really busy, but the staff was very patient with everyone. Once we got seated we were STARVING. We decided to get the bakery goods basket to share. SUCH a good choice! You get to try everything they have that day!! Super yummy! For our group of 4 that was plenty. I ordered the omelette with butternut squash, caramelized onions, and goat cheese... pretty sure I'll dream about that! Very good!!! Only things that were a little lacking were the table service, we waited a little bit for the waitress (who was very nice, just probably swamped with tables) and the coffee... basic (almost) diner tasting coffee. The food itself was good! I could see myself coming back again!!

Sepehr Sedigh

Great food, loved the outside, great service. A little warm on the inside.

Caleb Stanford

Two caveats: it can add up to be a bit pricey, and not all menu items are created equal. Some of the items (e.g., pastry basket) are just not good. But if you know what to order, this is an excellent place to sit down on a weekend late morning (come early to reserve a spot). I recommend the cinnamon rolls, bottomless coffee, and Heuvos Rancheros.

Rob Shepherd

Busy for Sunday brunch but very much worth the wait. What a find! Although we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table, the seating system was great (using text messaging and an app to check your place in line). It’s a bit cozy when waiting for a table, but many folks wander outside during the wait. The menu is quite diverse. My wife had a wonderful omelet with scallops and bacon, while I had challah French toast that was delicious. And you MUST try something from the bakery. We had pear coffee cake...yummy! The most impressive thing was the unanimously cheerful disposition of the staff, even considering the hectic environment. The hostess/cashier was practically dancing behind the register as she took names and cashiered...amazing! We will certainly be back!

brian zhong

The staff was friendly and the food was good. Would go back.

Sruthi Vaylay

As always, amazing brunch

Mike Farkas

Very nice, accommodating space. Service was friendly and attentive. Treated us like regulars. Will be back, no question.

Su

Excellent for brunch but there will surely be a wait. Got the Korean steak bowl - really good!

Daniel Silverman Serra

Solid brunch, delicious and filling.

Dave F

My Huevos Rancheros were cold and my eggs were a bit runny; my girlfriend's food was cold too. Perhaps I would be singing a different tune if I ordered the banana french toast.

Steve Abrams

Great broccoli and cheddar omelette (served after noon on a Thursday), great mulligatawny soup, great service

David Rose

Great food but the owner is horrible. There with my son and they tried to charge me for sugar packets that my son touched. NOT KID FRIENDLY AT ALL. NEVER GOING BACK.

Lindsey S

Day By Day Catering - In planning our event we contacted Philadelphia’s top caterers and there was a clear front runner - Stephen at Day By Day Catering made our vision come to life. Of the caterers we called for quotes, he was the easiest to get ahold of, the most responsive to questions and customizing the menu, his pricing was right on point, and his team was able to replicate an old family dessert recipe that had my Grandmother thrilled and delighted. Stephen was able to handle all of our rentals for tables, linens, chair covers, china, and more. Being that our entire group was coming in from out of state, I relied on Stephen to work together with the venue manager to recommend the best linen colors, and room layout. They did an utterly exquisite job. Stephen’s catering team the day of the event was polished and professional. Thank you to Stephen at Day By Day Catering for being exemplary in customer service, pricing, quality, and execution of your services.
