Good food, reasonable prices and very nice wait staff. Close to the baseball hall of fame too so very convenient. .

The service here was great! All of the staff were so kind. Even let my son try the mac salad before he committed! We all loved our food as well. The chicken parm sandwich was my fav. read more

Great burgers and good service even though very busy. Server, (did not get her name was very attentive and efficient)

Just came in to Cooperstown today, needed a warm lunch. Doubleday did not disappoint. The service was great, the French Onion soup was amazing and the BLT was great. Especially the bacon. Yum! It was busy but Mckensie was a gracious server. Highly recommended. read more

This review is really hard for me, because the food was genuinely not to my taste, but there was also absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you like heavy, hearty, traditional diner food, this place would probably be really up your alley. I got eggs Benedict and it was competently prepared with fresh ingredients including a fairly decent fruit salad. The service is extremely friendly, the food was fairly priced, and the environment was cute. Overall, solid experience. read more

Went for breakfast. Food was very good. Service was excellent. They have a quick turnover of tables without making you feel rushed. Will try dinner next time in Cooperstown. read more

Good food, good local beer selection and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. I first experienced Doubleday during the uber-busy summer. I enjoyed it then even in spite of all the grumpy drunk dads and spazzed out adolescents running around. Since experiencing Doubleday during the winter, it's fast becoming one of my favorite spots in Cooperstown to enjoy a couple beers and a bite. The food is consistently good. Think above-average pub grub with decent vegetarian options. Doubleday is where I first tried the Old Slugger pale ale from Cooperstown Brewing Co. -- which has since become my favorite local beer (sorry, Ommegang is great and all, but Belgiany beers just aren't my first preference). Grab a seat at the bar, a bowl of (free) popcorn and a pint and you're on your way to a relaxing evening chatting with the staff and other patrons. You'll have a heckuva good time. read more

Doubleday Cafe - That is a real beer, my friends. - American Near Me - Cooperstown, New York

It was a hour before closing and our server welcomed us in. We ordered two Ommegang Vos Red Ales. For appetizers my boyfriend ordered mussels from the daily special. I ordered fresh guac & chips. He said the mussels were amazing. The guac was good and fresh with lots of chips. For our entrees he ordered the Italian Fried Chicken Sandwich and I ordered the taco salad. He really enjoyed the sandwich. The team there was very friendly and accommodating. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We're going to breakfast there in the morning. read more

My rating is for the delicious local beef, perfectly cooked as requested, on the burger. We stopped in quickly before a visit to the Hall of Fame and were happy with service and our choices. My kid got applesauce, one of the choices with a burger; I was delighted applesauce was offered and that he chose it vs fries. My choice was cole slaw which was excellent. Doubleday Cafe is only a block from the HoF so once you've found legal parking, you don't have to relocate between the museum visit and your meal. All in all an excellent choice. read more

Great place, my wife and I have been there numerous times and never have had a bad experience .friendly staff , good food and not too pricey for being in the center of Cooperstown. We will definitely be back after tourist season is over. read more

Man oh man this place was delicious! Jamie was our server and you could tell right away she's been doing this quite a while. She let us know about everything on the menu that was good. Which she made sure to ensure us the entire menu was awesome! I ended up ordering the bowl of clam chowder and the Large tossed garden salad. Talk about fresh! The clam chowder taste freshly caught and my salad taste fresh from the garden! You could tell by how great it tastes that this was some fresh homemade food! The Customer service was excellent! Thanks again Jamie for the great service and hospitality. I'll most definitely return here on my next visit to Cooperstown. Great food;great environment. All in a historical place. That just so happens to be named after Abner Doubleday. The guy they claim invented baseball. How awesome is that!? Don't take my word for it! Check it out! read more

Great food great service great atmosphere this is a must stop in Cooperstown! All around an amazing place!

Visited here during Baseball HOF induction weekend. Sat at the bar, which has a nice beer selection. My buddy and I ordered two meals to split...the lobster roll and a chicken sandwich. The lobster roll was on the small side, but made nicely so as to bring out the flavor of the lobster. The bun was soft and chewy. The chicken sandwich was fried and topped with bacon and BBQ sauce, a nice combo. Came with fries which weer just average. All in all a decent meal, but a bit pricey for what it was. read more

This is my go-to-spot for Sunday breakfast! The waitstaff is the best - friendly and quick, and they know you by name...if they don't they will next time you come in. It's the epitome of a local eating establishment, similar to "Cheers" of the 1980's...just a great spot. The breakfast foods are to die for. Lunch and dinner are great to, especially the mexican food. The chefs are open to "alterations" and are eager to please. It's well worth the wait, if you have to wait! And, well worth the money (so very reasonably priced). If you are in town for a baseball event, just to look at the quaintness that is Upstate New York, or you live here, it's a MUST DO restaurant. read more

This place lives up to the hype! After reading the reviews and getting confirmation from relatives from the area (who are friends with the owner) I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! Comfortable atmosphere, conveniently located on Main Street, and excellent service. Oh and great menu choices - I got the Garden Grilled Cheese with just enough spinach, onions, and tomatoes inside. The crust is buttery and perfectly crisp with a chewy inside - the only thing I didn't notice was that it's made with Swiss and I would have preferred cheddar, but that's my fault. I usually wouldn't have gotten the pasta salad on the side but it's delicious!!! Seating was instant for one person at the bar at lunch time on a Saturday in August (I'm still here as I write this), and the day bartender/waitress is so cute and funny :) Having a great time, will be back! read more

We popped in to the cafe hoping for breakfast at 10:45 am. We were told they were no longer serving breakfast. Then we were told we wouldn't be served until 11:15 then it changed to 11:30 am. We waited over an hour for food. The waitresses were snarky, and it seemed impossible for any of them to crack a smile. The food is mediocre!! I would have been happier going to McDonald's. It's definitely not worth the price, and the attitude you get from the wait staff. I got a soggy sandwich that I couldn't even finish. This place is definitely leaching off the tourist crowd. read more

I loved this place. So nice and the food was amazing. It felt really nice and well placed. Our server was great and it was so nice!

Service with shitty attitudes.They refused to seat us with friends who showed up 5 minutes earlier to keep the right "server table rotation". They had not even ordered yet. Total dick move and the restaurant wasn't even full. Not friendly at all. Go somewhere else. I will certainly NEVER come back if im in town. Especially after seeing the MOUSE TRAP hidden behind the pedestal sink in the bathroom....yuck! It makes you wonder how many traps are in kitchen 5 ft away. read more

This was a perfect place for us. It's just a few steps away from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. We had quick seating at around 5:00. My wife had a Bacon Cheeseburger with fries, I had their Rueben with fries. The cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and my Rueben was perfect with Russian dressing on the side. They had a summer ale on tap that was served at a chilly temperature. Great food, great service, baseball decor; and reasonably priced. read more

Really good food. Had the roast beef sandwich, it was very large and the side macaroni was great. The kids Mac n cheese is kraft. The fries were very good. The calm chowder was amazing! Great service. Very cute inside. read more

We walked in Doubleday not knowing what to expect, and we were very pleasantly surprised! I had the veggie burger and it was one of the best that I've had. I dislike veggie burgers that are just grilled Morningstar or whatever, but this was clearly homemade. My daughter's ravioli with veggies were so good too! There were lots of artichoke hearts and other veggies. Even the side salads were above what you would expect! I wish that we had space for dessert because the menu was large and I love dessert, but we were very full. On your baseball pilgrimage to Cooperstown, don't miss out on Doubleday! read more

We took a break from "The Hall" for a light lunch. My son and I both got a cup of clam chowder and half sandwich. It was really pretty good, but how can you mess that up, right? The meter was touching four. We decided to split a bread pudding. I think it was the best bread pudding I've ever eaten. It tasted like a wet cinnamon roll crusted over with brown sugar and topped with whipped cream. I'd go back just for that. The meter just hit five. read more

No complaints here! Good food, great service, killer old school/baseball paraphernalia ALL over the place and the bar up front completes the place. We had both breakfast and lunch during the week of our stay and both were outstanding. Nothing too crazy but the bacon & toast were perfectly cooked, hashbrowns were extra crispy (as ordered) and the service was always consistent and with a smile. I highly recommend! read more

Visited the Doubleday on a visit to Cooperstown made memorable by rain, the likes of which I have not seen in a while. In some ways, it may have kept the crowds out of town, and we were seated immediately for a 1:30 lunch. The restaurant is decked out with baseball and sports memorabilia, has high ceilings, and a pretty vast menu. The food, service, and offerings were all good; kids ate kids food, wife had a Mexican pork wrap, and I honestly forget what I had, but it was decent. Every town geared towards tourism has a Doubleday somewhere nearby; with the HoF nearby, Doubleday makes a good living serving the niche. It is a good, solid meal in a cool environment. Thumbs up. read more

Servers are friendly, efficient, and professional. The New England Clam Chowder is creamy and rich, and comes with ritz crackers! My hamburger came with the perfect medium rare patty, and was well balanced with a juicy tomato slice. The fries on the side were a bit soggy, but were seasoned and went well with the burger. Would strongly recommend a visit if you're in Cooperstown! read more

What a great place to be. Super casual, everybody knows everybody. Our waitress, Michele was amazing. We were freezing and she told us where to buy hats and scarves in town. She was so friendly and sweet. Simple food yet well executed in deliciousness. We came back again for breakfast. read more

My mom, sister, and I went here while visiting Cooperstown for my brother's baseball team. We went here while my dad and brother were in CPD. It's a nice small cafe. I thought my food was good for being a vegetarian. I ordered a veggie burger and it was really good compared to other veggie burgers I've had at other food places. The only negative was our waiter. She was not attentive and often forgot about us. She didn't refill our waters and we were sitting a long time waiting to get her attention for the check. The other waiters were very attentive with their tables. read more

The sandwiches were so tasty! The service was friendly. Servers chip in and help out each other even when it's not their assigned table. I've visited nearly every other restaurant on the block, from cheap to pretentious. THIS is where you want to have lunch. It's not even close. read more

Not many options in Cooperstown. We wanted to eat before we stepped into the museum. Great menu of fun favorites here. Wife had the pulled pork which she said was wonderful. I had soup and sales which were very good. Good solid option of fun favorites while enjoying the great town of Cooper. read more

Came here for the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies last week and a friend of mine told me to check this place out. This is a pretty legendary spot with lots of players and Hall of Famer's eating there on a regular basis. We got there pretty early on Saturday AM, so we didn't have to wait too long, even know there was 50,000 people there for the ceremony. The food is your basic simple diner food, but the prices are very reasonable. We both had classic breakfast combos and wee not disappointed at all. Happy tummies!! Best part is they have liquor and beer, I had a screwdriver well my friend had an Irish whiskey with our meal. Our waitress was very attentive and a sweetheart, she had just waited on Pete Rose shortly before. Sunday after the induction we stopped in for lunch and beers. Place was hoppin' I got the club sandwich with avocado, it was tasty, tough to mess that one up. One of my friends got the burger, it was good but not amazing. My other buddy got the pork chop special, he said it was dry and just okay nothing special. Overall: I recommend this place, nothing fancy but that's okay you're in a small town enjoying baseball. I'd come here again!! read more

Not a bad tourist cafe. The food was pretty good. The turkey BLT was moist and saucy. The taco salad was very filling, though the sauce was more of a chipotle mayo sauce. The service was a tad slow but they were pretty full. read more

This place is AWESOME the service is amazing and the food is great !! We try to go every Sunday or Monday morning for breakfast because it's amazing ! It's so worth the price they interact a lot with our 2 year old son who absolutely loves them ! read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the amazing food, the sweet responsive staff, the cleanlinest of the tables, chairs, and menus. The French onion soup was delicious and not too salty or overly robust. The special Saturday night of pot roast, mashed potatoes and butternut squash was a melt in your mouth, homemade taste of heaven. I had the taco salad and that was fresh, authentic Mexican flavored deliciousness. We highly recommend it. My husband says it was absolutely amazing. read more

Cooperstown is a very small town, but they do have quite a few places to eat. This is the nearest place to the Hall of Fame so we chose to eat here. It was OK. I would come back because it has a very nice vibe. TV's in every corner to show the games. Good beers to choose from. I got the Philly Cheesesteak. It was huge and on a giant roll. I put all the meat on one side of the roll and just ate that. read more
