The Good Day Cafe remains one of my favorite meetup spots - whether for a business meeting or simply for delicious breakfast food! Service always comes with a smile - and a ready pot of fresh coffee! I had their chicken sausage today - for the first time ever - along with scrambled eggs. I will order that again, for sure! Thank you, "GDC," and I will undoubtedly return soon.
