Hearty Breakfast at a Friendly Upper West Side Counter
Omelette plates, salads, and hot or cold sandwiches fill this neighborhood cafe through midafternoon.
🍳 The Breakfast Run
Mila Cafe on Columbus Avenue runs a simple counter that the Upper West Side leans on for a hearty breakfast. Filling omelette plates lead the menu, and the breakfast sandwiches, along with friendly service, have made it a neighborhood favorite.
Lunch shifts the order toward salads and hot or cold sandwiches, all served in a light European atmosphere. The setup stays simple and the prices stay budget friendly, a fit for a quick weekday plate before work or a slower weekend breakfast.
Pack bills for the counter, which runs strictly cash only, and plan around a daytime schedule. Doors open at 8 AM Monday through Saturday, closing at half past three PM on weekdays and at 3 PM on Saturday, while Sunday runs from 9 AM to 3 PM. Arrive early for the first plates of the morning, or swing by closer to lunch for a hot sandwich and a side salad.
