What People Are Saying
from Google"Absolutely stellar time yesterday morning as t the Good Day Cafe! It was supposed to be a 24 minute wait but two spots at their first come first serve breakfast bar opened up. The food was incredible! My mom and I loved this place and will absolutely be back someday! Great job to the whole team."
"For two years I was passing by this special cafe and I did not know that it was special and that its service and food were wonderful. I tried it and I am happy with the wonderful and special service and the quality of the food and coffee it provides."
"Great place in Golden Valley for breakfast or lunch. We were having brunch so I had the Big Luigi and my wife had the mushroom and spinach omelette. Both were very good, I liked the sausage and eggs combo that comes with the Luigi. There are lots of hot drinks options, cinnamon rolls, you name it! Service is quick, only downside is it's a bit noisy, but otherwise I highly recommend!"
"I have been here several times and had both breakfast and lunch. I will say that I was not as impressed with their salads as I hoped. They were good, but a little pricey for the quality and their breakfast or other warm lunch dishes are so much better! They have some to die for omelettes and soufflete omelettes, they're GMC potatoes are so good, and the atmosphere and service are great. Also, the beignets! So good!!"
"My boyfriend and I love Good Day and would visit once or twice a month, but unfortunately, today will be our last day coming here. We each ordered "The Good Day" and a "Yogurt Parfait." Our waitress made sure our drinks were always topped off, and the toast basket arrived just before our meal —perfect timing! The Good Day was delicious as usual. My boyfriend wanted to try something new on the menu and got the Yogurt Parfait. He took a bite of the parfait and was instantly excited to dig in after finishing his plate. I looked over to admire the parfait and saw something white jump out from the granola. As we scooped a little of the granola, more of the white larvae-looking things moved around. We were shocked. I told my boyfriend to scoop some of it out and put it on the small colored plate so we could point it out to the staff. As we were inspecting the granola, a gentleman walked out of the back office and past us. As I was about to get up and grab a staff member, he walked back to our table. We showed him the spoon and pointed out the white spots on it. Then he took the spoon, inspected it, and dug around the cup to see what we were seeing, but we told him to just look at the granola. The granola was toasted and dark brown, so it stood out. He grabs the parfait and brings it to the kitchen. He comes back and introduces himself to us as the manager. He is unsure how that got in there, but they will inspect it. Before he walked away, he said, We will take care of you guys. After a little bit, a gal staff member walked over with our waitress (I assume another manager or supervisor). Says that they checked the yogurt and didn't see anything. She mentioned that the granola contains flaxseed, which can sometimes be mistaken for a bug. We tried to explain that the thing we saw was white and resembled a larva or small worms. We wish we had kept the spoon or recorded a video because she asked if we had any of it on the table, but the spoon and cup were taken back from the gentleman manager right away. She let us know that they would remove the parfait and comp half of the bill. We both sat there in shock and had chills running through our spines, thinking about how my boyfriend just got a bite into the parfait. Our plate was well-presented and food was cooked great, but we didn't have the appetite to finish the rest of the food, so we sat there for a little while before the waitress came back with the bill. She confirmed that the parfait had been removed and that the bill was 50% off. She asked if we would like our food boxed up, but we politely declined. She cleared the plates and took the bill. She came back to give us our receipt and let us know that the restaurant had taken care of our bill. In the end, we found a dead larva on the table and placed it on a spoon to show our waitress. What an unfortunate event— we can get by with hair in food but bugs… no, thank you. We will miss the fun staff and atmosphere. Again, thanks for taking care of the full bill. We took into account our overall love for the restaurant and today’s event in the Star Ratings."
