Hearty all-day breakfast, patio with koi pond, wood-fired pizza
"West Seventh’s cozy, quaint Day by Day Cafe dishes up classic American breakfast dishes: eggs Benny, corned beef hash, homemade granola, buttermilk short stacks. Highlights are the homemade buckwheat pancakes, the French toast, the koi pond on the patio, and the early bird specials (Day by Day opens at 7 a.m. daily)." - Stacy Brooks
"Head to Day by Day Cafe on West Seventh Street for a classic eggs-and-bacon breakfast around the $10 mark. Other dishes — like the country-fried steak and biscuits and gravy — are just a few dollars more, though the best deal on this menu is the early bird special, a diner-style breakfast platter of eggs, potatoes, sausage, or bacon, and pancakes for $10.99 on weekdays and $12.59 on weekends. The same special is $6.99 on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m." - Alex Lodner
"Besides the traditional breakfast fare (think short stack pancakes, steak and eggs, and steep discounts for diners who arrive before 7 a.m.) it’s been serving in the same location since 1980, Day By Day is also known for its sprawling patio complete with a stone-encircled koi pond." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Step out into the garden behind this little cafe and its hard to believe it’s located right on St. Paul’s busy West 7th thoroughfare. Day by Day also has a newly installed, fire-burned, outdoor pizza oven." - Joy Summers
"I found their patio is currently open with tables sometimes placed on existing patios, in parking lots, or on sidewalks; guests are asked to wear masks and all staff will be masked, with precautions in place—check with the restaurant for individual days and hours. Studies suggest lower exposure risk when dining outdoors, but that benefit depends on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines." - Joy Summers
