Bar far my favorite and most recommended breakfast place in town, its a gem to be sure. It can get very busy here but at the time i went (11-1130) I was seated within 1 minute of walking through the door. The staff was very friendly and prompt with all requests. I ordered the crab cake benedict which was rich and decadent and the signature french toast with berries, bananas cream cheese and a cinnamon brown sugar glaze and it was divine but my favorite dish of that morning was the CREAM PUFF!!!!! WOW.....light, crisp, sweet, creamy and perfect. read more

Really great breakfast food or even lunch. The sandwiches were great, unfortunately they no longer have the awesome crepe puffs

We went here for a late breakfast and arrived maybe an hour before they closed. We walked in and sat down immediately. The space is filled with relatively few tables relative to the size of the space. There were just three other groups dining of the maybe 15 or 20 table in the place. It took maybe 10 minutes for them to bring out menus. We eventually got some water as well. We ordered our drinks but said we needed a few more minutes to order. Unlike an actual New York establishment, they took almost 15 minutes more before we had to prompt someone to order food. That seemed to upset two of the staff members who began to argue with each other in front of us. After we ordered food, we had them bring a cream puff/popover while we waited for our hot food. The popover was good but definitely a sugar overload even split between two people. The food came out and I took some ketchup for my plate but then a moment later the ketchup was taken from our table and given to another patron without asking us if we were done with it. I thought maybe the ketchup was being collected for the end of the day but there were other empty table that still had condiments so for some reason we weren't supposed to use the ketchup. All pettiness aside, the food was fine but nothing unusual or amazing. It is also incredible affordable which was great. Despite the terrible service, I would come back here to give it a second change and the food was certainly tasty. I would not order another popover. read more

Stopped here on a whim with family. They were out of cream puffs so initially was disappointed, but the great diner food more than made up for it. read more

Quaint diner with a great staff! The food is amazing! Be sure to try the Coconut French Toast! Highly Recommend!

Love the veggie kale omelet as it inspired me to make it at home. Love their creative menu

what a great place! though it was bustling, the place was very clean and the service was prompt. my crab cakes benedict came out quick and were so good! since i was sitting at the counter, i overheard the server request more hollandaise sauce, which i appreciated. that's top notch service! my hashbrowns were ordered well done and were exactly that, which is a rarity. the parking situation is a little weird. the cafe is part of an auction house so it's a bit hard to find the correct entrance at first, but it certainly won't stop me from coming back. give this place a shot! read more

Big Apple Cafe - crab cakes benedict and (well done) hashbrowns. every bite was fantastic and very filling! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newark, Ohio

So glad they added this location great food. Staff is amazingly friendly and extremely attentive to the costumer.

Great food and friendly staff! It's our regular breakfast spot. If you love homemade creme puffs you're in luck- these rival any I've had anywhere. One criticism- patrons are forced to endure highly opinionated Fox News while trying to enjoy their meal. I asked to change the channel one visit and was told they are not allowed to change it. Big Apple are you listening? Political shows should not be part of a dining experience! I have heard several customers in our visits voice this opinion. read more

Awesome place to get some breakfast or lunch. My family really enjoys their breakfast selections while I usually order the hand breaded chicken tenders. read more

We have been here a couple of times recently and just love it! Wait staff is friendly, helpful and so pleasant. Food is great, both breakfast and lunch. Doing a great job in spite of COVID. read more

We love this place. At times you have to wait a bit to get a table but we think the food and service is worth a bit of a wait. There are two locations and the food and service are good at them both. read more

Great restaurant. Glad we were recommended it by the courtyard Marriott. The tea wAs good and the service remarkable! Mom and I shared the garden omlette without spinach. The bread was perfectly buttered! The hash browns we're excellent! I loved the broccoli, scallions and cheese inside the omlette. The sour cream on top and the jelly was a nice touch. Quaint, local place with lots of character! The bacon was cooked perfectly as well! read more

This is my favorite breakfast place on town. I prefer Joyce or Lisa as my waitress but the rest of the girls are awesome too. The food is delicious and it comes out fast! If you are getting toast I recommend the 9grain, its a little bit of an upcharge but it is sooooo much better than the wheat (which is burnt a lot of times.) They have so many different jellies too. The restaurant is a bit small and sometimes we have to park at the beverage source because there is not enough parking. They should definitely upsize because they are always busy. They always bring a coffee thermos when you order coffee which is awesome because then I don't have to wait for a refill I can fill it when I want. Lastly, they always ask if you want a cream puff before you leave. Everyone raves about these cream puffs, however I do not prefer them. They had carrot cake once and it was delicious but I haven't seen it in a while. I look for it everytime. read more

This is a nice find. Coffee is OK, not the best coffee but I have had worse; the second cup tasted better. The restaurant can seat a good number of people but the place gets loud. Nine tables with people and the volume was difficult to carry on a conversation. The food is excellent; the best home cooking away from home. The prices are a bargain for all you get. Got the breakfast sandwich and it was excellent. read more

The chipped beef gravy was tasty with the basted egg and the service was awesome; even though it was a bit expensive!

Just okay. The sausage was bland, however the eggs were cooked perfectly. The average age of the clientele was probably the reason why the sausage didn't have much flavor. Over all it was just okay right around Tee Jayes quality but more expensive. read more

This is a hidden breakfast gem! Not much seating but worth the wait. The staff here is so much fun and great at what they do. And the food is excellent!! Everything I've tried has been awesome. No complaints. read more

Very good food and friendly staff. Best breakfast in town. CK out new location next to Walmart on 21.

Wanted a local option so we opted for BAC. It did not disappoint. Friendly and efficient service. Breakfast was fantastic! Nothing over or under cooked. Not too much oil or butter. Just right! Highly recommended! read more

Very friendly, excellent customer service. Food was fantastic - please support this local business!

Great food, great staff, but the seating area is a little tight. Will definitely come back again.

What a nice suprise! This small cafe is tucked away off of Church St and has a great selection of breakfast items, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Our family stopped in from a local recommendation, we all tried something different and were all extremely pleased with everything :) read more

Very good omelet and french toast. Nice atmosphere. Good service. Unfortunate that Fox and Friends was on the TV.

Great local breakfast & lunch destination. Local crowd. The 9 grain toast is delish with whatever your breakfast might be. Wonderful cream puffs- take one 'to go'! Chicken salad is also very good. read more

I had the eggs benedict. It was mediocre at best. The ham was too thick and full of gristle. The hash browns were good but they are a very small amount. They don't give much hollandaise sauce and charge extra for more. Nice waitresses. read more

The best place for breakfast in Newark! Expect to wait but well worth it! Try double decker breakfast sandwich, you will not be disappointed

Menu about the same as old owners. Ordered two sandwiches - BLT and a Ruben and French fries. French fries were grease soaked and limp; Ruben was not at all good. BLT was all toast and tasteless green house tomato. Service was fair. read more

Found this place by accident. What a happy accident. They have a very eclectic menu, it's all great!!! Very clean, very friendly staff. The kind of place you can go for lunch with a friend and just linger and talk. read more

Went here for breakfast and had the Traditional French Toast. It was soooo delicious. I was really looking forward to some biscuits and gravy, but they only serve them on the the weekends. Also ordered a chocolate and a vanilla cream puff. A little pricey but both were delicious. The staff was very nice. It's off the beaten path, but is definitely worth a try. read more

We've been "brunching" here for a few years, and love the food! Service is good, staff is friendly....cozy place!

I loved this place! :) The food was delicious, the prices were surprisingly affordable, and the service was friendly and prompt. We had our kiddos with us, and the hostess kindly brought extra coloring supplies for them. We will definitely be back to this little gem! read more

A great home town spot to get a good meal at a reasonable price. Get there early for breakfast as the place fills up quickly.

Breakfast is great. Hollandaise sauce is very good. Hash browns are nice and crispy. Cream Puffs are amazing.

excellent prices, delicious food, and totally local atmosphere! we were in town for a family event and stopped here this morning with a toddler before a 6+ hour drive home. not only as the service incredible, the breakfast was delicious. the staff knew many of the customers by first name. it's not a fancy joint (the grey carpet could go), but it's cute & relaxing - a definite must considering the very few options for breakfast in Newark, Ohio! Plus, check out the auction house that the restaurant is housed in. They have some fascinating antiques - well worth looking into if you are in the area! read more

Me and my family always come here after church for breakfast and always have an incredible time. The food is extremely cheap and the food is always very good. read more

Was looking for a local/non-chain restaurant. Great food and great service! Crab cake Benedict is a must! I liked the NYC pics as well.
