Full menu, organized by category.
Cafe Abbondanza is a plain, fast and affordable deli in one of the most expensive parts of Manhattan. It is not fancy, but it is open from early morning until midnight, and most breakfasts cost under $7.
Eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage and home fries. The best value on the breakfast menu for a big day of sightseeing.
The New York bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel or roll. Visitor photos and reviews keep coming back to the breakfast sandwiches and bagels here.
One reviewer called the pancakes and eggs supreme. A sit-down style breakfast at a grab-and-go price.
Chicken cutlet, bacon, avocado and ranch on a toasted hero. Like all the Deli Chef Specials, it is $9.00.
Comes with fries and a can of soda or bottle of water, so lunch is covered for under $10 before tax.
Banana, pineapple, strawberries and apple juice. All seven fruit smoothies are the same price if you want something lighter.
Cafe Abbondanza sits at 146 West 46th Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, in the middle of the Theater District and a short walk from Times Square. "Abbondanza" is Italian for abundance, and the menu lives up to the name with more than 150 items, from bagels and omelettes to hero sandwiches, burgers, wraps and smoothies.
It is part deli, part convenience store. You order at the grill and carry your food to a table. There is a standing bar downstairs and more seating upstairs, according to Atly reviewers. Expect a no-frills, bodega-style room rather than a café with table service. Some add-ons, such as lettuce, tomato or cheese, cost extra.
What sets it apart is the hours. The Times Square Alliance lists it as open from 6 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends, staying open until midnight every day, with takeout and delivery. That makes it useful for an early breakfast before a tour or a late sandwich after a show. Want a slower sit-down meal instead? Our Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe and Café Bích Nga pages cover two very different options.

No crowd data is published for Cafe Abbondanza. These estimates are based on its hours and its location in the Theater District, where foot traffic follows office hours and show times.
