Upper West Side Kosher Cafe With All-Day Brunch by the Park
Linger over all-day kosher brunch, falafel, and mint lemonade at an Upper West Side cafe near Central Park.
🥙 Kosher Mediterranean Brunch
This Upper West Side kosher cafe has been feeding West 96th Street from 2002 onward. Effy's Cafe keeps the menu meatless, with fish, dairy, and vegan dishes all coming out of a kosher-supervised kitchen, while small flowers on each table set an artsy, unhurried tone.
All-day brunch is the draw. Healthy omelettes, falafel, and crispy hot fritters with fresh sauces cover the table, and most breakfast and brunch plates run 12 to 18 dollars. An unlimited mimosa option costs 25 dollars, while the coffee and house mint lemonade keep locals returning.
Hours run 8 AM to 9 PM every day, which leaves room for a late breakfast or an early dinner. The room fills up quickly at peak hours, and service slows when it does. Aim for an off-peak table, then head toward Central Park or hop on the subway at the 96 St station nearby.
