Review Daybreak Pleasant Street - Gainesville

What an amazing place to have brunch! Even though it’s a tiny place and it can get really packed, it’s definitely worth the wait. Once you’re seated you’re transported to a special moment where the service is phenomenal and the food is even better! I recommend the goat cheese omelet and the pancakes. We also had an amazing French toast on a previous occasion and it was also very delicious. They have cold into coffees on draft also, they are local and delightful. If you have not been to daybreak pleasant before, I recommend you come visit it. Perfect for a date brunch! ;)

Tuna melt and Potatoes Dutch Baby Salmon Scrambled Eggs I enjoyed EVERYTHING the Dutch Baby is shareable size, it's a baked pancake! Everything is made to order! So be patient, it's worth the wait! The staff is great. The place is quaint! Go support local!

Delicious brunch place, good for vegans and vegetarians too! Seating is pretty spaced out and service was fast. Has oat milk. Vegan options are the corn and potatoes (as is), crispy potatoes (modified), and shakshuka (with veggies instead of eggs), and avo toast. Food is on the pricey side but also of higher quality, Got the corn and potatoes and it was amazing!

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!

AMAZING brunch/breakfast. My friend brought me here for the first time. The building is unassuming, but I had heard good things from my boyfriend and my friend. I got the caveman pancakes even I'm not Paleo or really big into pancakes for breakfast, but LOVED them. I tried my friend's grits, and they were also excellent, and my friend and I both have southern roots and judge grits harshly. Loved that they had multiple vegan and vegetarian options. The veggie sausage was one of the better ones I've tried. They were out of tempeh when I was there, but I'm looking forward to trying the tempeh lettuce tomato (TLT) next time. I tried the fresh squeezed tangerine juice as well, and highly recommend trying it. Service was WONDERFUL! There was a bit of a wait, but the servers do an excellent job of not appearing stressed and making you feel welcome and checking in on you the right amount (not too much or too little) with some friendly banter. I can't recommend Daybreak enough. This is the type of place you want to find when you visit a town and go exploring. It's got enough home-cooked feeling, healthy multi-diet accommodating options, that almost everyone will find a new favorite dish here. I highly appreciate their efforts to buy locally and use more sustainable cardboard to-go containers.

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.

Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, even the other customers. It's a small place with a lot of heart. Great service; Tucker is awesome! And the food is delicious. It was my first time and I had the shrimp and grits and everything about it was perfect: flavor, portion size, seasoning. I'll definitely be going back!

Fantastic breakfast joint. Only a handful of tables, but if you get there early, no problem getting seated quickly. The service was very good, friendly wait staff offering to top off your coffee and checking on your meal. I got the breakfast fried rice with eggs and sausage, and it was amazing. I wanted to get one of everything, so definitely will be making a return visit.
