Daybreak Pleasant Street - Gainesville

Food was tasty and service was very good. Smiles and greetings when you enter. Advantage to this small local food spot, they let you customize your order! I added the brioche French toast to my bacon and eggs for a very reasonable up charge. Tasted as good as it looked! A new weekly breakfast stop.

Fantastic breakfast spot! Everyone there was so nice and welcoming. They helped us find seats quickly and we're quick to refill our drinks before we finished them. The food was awesome. We'll definitely be return customers because we have to try more of the menu items!

Very nice small place with very friendly and attentive waiting staff. The breakfast buffets are the best in town. The brioche French toast is also a must. They bake their brioche fresh in the house. Many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. It's a hidden jewel in town.

I ordered the tuna melt and potatoes, as well as the Dutch baby with salmon and scrambled eggs, and I enjoyed everything! The Dutch baby is a generous size; it's a baked pancake! Everything is made to order, so be patient—it’s worth the wait! The staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere is lively. Definitely go for the food; the experience is well worth it!

I appreciated that they offered several vegan and vegetarian options, and the veggie sausage was among the best I've had. Unfortunately, they were out of tempeh when I visited, but I’m looking forward to trying their tempeh lettuce tomato (TLT) on my next visit. I also sampled the fresh-squeezed tangerine juice, which I highly recommend. The service was fantastic! Although there was a bit of a wait, the servers handled it with such grace that they made it feel welcoming rather than stressful. They struck the perfect balance in checking on us—just the right amount, sprinkled with friendly banter. I can't recommend Daybreak enough. It's the kind of gem you hope to discover while exploring a new town. With its cozy, home-cooked feel and diverse, healthy menu options that cater to various diets, nearly everyone will find a new favorite dish here. I also appreciate their commitment to supporting local suppliers and using more sustainable to-go containers.
