Massive Breakfast Plates Meet Midtown East Hospitality
Dig into croissant French toast and crispy sausage links at a family-run diner cooking on Second Avenue since 1998.
🍳 Griddle Classics
Morning Star Cafe is the Midtown East answer to a breakfast craving that refuses to stay small. This family run diner has been plating massive breakfast classics since 1998, and the kitchen still turns them out at a fast clip. Expect American style pancakes with Nutella, hearty Philly and Farmers omelets, and a huge croissant French toast that anchors the griddle lineup.
Add a side of the crispy, thick deep fried sausage links, then let the rest of the table branch out into burgers, sandwiches, or waffles from the all day breakfast menu. Service stays fast and efficient, the bilingual staff keep orders moving, and the restrooms are downstairs.
Hours run from half past six AM to half past eleven PM Sunday through Wednesday, and the doors stay open 24 hours Thursday through Saturday. At 949 2nd Ave, that makes it an easy call for an early start, a post work plate, or a late night craving.
