There's a good reason that the Good Day Café is always jam-packed—in fact, from the waffles and caramel rolls to the fried-egg sandwiches stacked with ham and avocado, there are a lot of reasons. Besides, did you think Golden Valley's country-club crowd was going to make breakfast for itself? The bright, sunny eatery is owned by David Webb, who knows his way around the restaurant biz. At the Good Day, he's taken breakfast standards and amped up the flavor: eggs Benedict indulgently topped with crab cakes, lush espresso drinks with coconut milk and chocolate, dollar-size pancakes that taste exactly like glazed doughnuts. In case your brunch is getting close to lunch hour, the Good Day also serves rotisserie chicken, Reuben sandwiches, and several salads—but it's better to get there early, because that's when they serve the city's sweetest beignets.

Minnesotans' history of pancake-eating goes back to the days when Paul Bunyan's legendary logging camp crew made flapjacks on a griddle so big it was greased by skaters who glided on bacon slabs. We love our pancakes in every possible... More >

Can Good Day Cafe also serve great food at night?

By Rachel Hutton | Wed, December 23, 2009

On a recent Sunday morning, an older woman in a long wool coat stood in the vestibule of the jam-packed Good Day Cafe and shouted into her cell phone. "Can you think of someplace else to go?" she pleaded over the din. The scene was typical of a w... More >

Decadent brunch items - the pecan praline waffle is sticky-sweet heaven, but it's intense - split it. Come prepared to wait 30-45 minutes to get a seat on weekends.

First time visit for Father's Day. Amazing. White chocolate mocha and veggie omelet. Delightful.

I love this place! I dine there fairly regularly - once or twice a month - and it never gets old. The food always tastes great and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. My favorites are the steak and eggs, egg sandwich, and huevos rancheros. The smoothies and sticky buns are also pretty amazing, and I like the comfy rustic decor and the friendly staff. My only complaints... The long wait to be seated even with a reservation and the occasional mediocre server. Overall though this is a great place for breakfast or lunch, any day of the week.
