Everything I've tried from Daytime has been top notch, but recently the staff has been noticeably unfriendly. I stopped in three times last week and had the same experience each time: The staff was chatting in a friendly manner to each other but as soon as they had to face a customer (me), their face completely changed. I greeted them with a friendly "Hey, how's it going??" And didn't even get a response. The last time it happened I just said I'll be back later and left without purchasing anything. I went around the corner to Sam's deli and had a great breakfast sandwich for $6 and was reminded what neighbors are really like: Sam, the owner, was communicating with a customer about helping them move their car later that day. Another person came in just to say hi and compliment Sam on the new freezer he had for the ice cream selection.
So if you're looking for a specific dish or pastry or a coffee drink from Daytime, go for it - but if you're feeling a little put out by the staff, don't forget: there's a really lovely deli that's been in the neighborhood for over 15 years right...

*super cute and welcoming spot *bench out front for you to sit & enjoy your purchase(s) *very COVID conscious; plexiglass at counter, staff wearing masks all while still allowing you to grab your own sugar, lid & straw, alongside a bottle of hand sanitizer - I appreciate all of this! *in-house baked goods *give you the option for paper or plastic straw
The coffee here is very good... I can certainly...

I stopped by for a quick workday lunch recently and ordered a smoked turkey and bacon sandwich and WOW am I glad that I did. The meal, served quickly, was one of the best I've had in a while.
In addition to the titular turkey and bacon (both perfectly seasoned and cooked) the fixings - including an appropriate clump of arugula, a delicate smear of sweet pepper jam, and a virtuosic arrangement of avocado slices - are equally top notch. Also included was a simple side salad and a handful of fresh cornichons.
Paired with an iced coffee and a crisp beer, I can say that this was one of the best lunches/sandwiches/etc. I've had in the city. The price for everything was more than fair. I highly...
