Every Single Place Jerry Seinfeld Takes All Those Comedians for Coffee

In the 2019 season finale, Seinfeld takes one of his "closest friends" Barry Marder, who also appeared in an episode during the series' first season, for coffee at the LA-area diner. "This is what I like about this restaurant: They advertise guaranteed view of a heavy person from anywhere in the restaurant," jokes Marder, as Seinfeld breaks into laughter. "The whole place looks like the Disney Jamboree bears."

It's a three-way date when Seinfeld, cabaret star Bridget Everett, and her purse dog Poppy drop in at this New Jersey cafe for coffee. "She got her hair done for the show," she says.

"I'm ready for coffee, Seinfeld," SNL star Melissa Villaseñor tells the host. Although, coffee will have to wait as the pair first makes a stop at the Museum of Food & Drink for a meal with "real MSG" before landing at this Brooklyn cafe for her caffeine fix. "You know what's weird about Brooklyn? Every day is Saturday in Brooklyn," he says, surveying the room. "What are you doing? Get back to work!"

Seinfeld takes Mario Joyner, of his "oldest and greatest friends," for an epic meal. "We are going to eat one of my favorite things: chicken and waffles," says Seinfeld. "When I lived in L.A., Roscoe's Chicken N Waffles was always the biggest weekend treat." But don't expect to learn any restaurant secrets in this episode: "Roscoe's recipe is so secret, they wouldn't even let us film the kitchen," he says.

Don't try to order whole wheat toast at this LA-area restaurant. When Martin Short orders scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast, he's politely told the only options are sourdough or olive toast. (Spoiler: After the shock wore off, Martin chose the sourdough.)

Sebastian Maniscalco and Seinfeld hop on vintage scooters to drive to this classic Italian bakery in Manhattan. "Sometimes, when I do these things, I wonder how these guys, the crew ... are they like going, 'alright already!' I'm in my head sometimes, going, man, I hope these guys are enjoying it. Do you ever think that?" Maniscalco asks. Deadpans Seinfeld: "No. There's no money in these guys."

"When I win the Oscar [for Ray], I don't take the Oscar home. I give it to my manager. 'You take this,'" Jamie Foxx reveals to Seinfeld over coffee at this New Orleans greasy spoon. "I said, because if I take that, I'll buy into the Oscar s—t and I won't be funny anymore. 'Cause when you hold the Oscar, for whatever reason, when I was holding the Oscar, I automatically started to speak in an English accent."

"I, of course, didn't bring any money," Matthew Broderick tells Seinfeld after ordering coffees at the French fast-casual cafe chain. "I have some in the car, in the lamborghini. That's awful. 'I left it in my lamborghini. Perhaps you could trust me for this,'" he jokes.

In his second appearance on the series, Ricky Gervais orders coffee and avocado toast at this White Plains diner. "How do you like that? Is that what you wanted?" Seinfeld asks him after Gervais takes a bite. "It's what I've got," he replies with a shrug and hearty laugh.

"When's the last time you were here?" Seinfeld asks his guest Seth Rogen, as the pair walk into the iconic Jewish-style deli. "Like, a week ago," Rogen and the restaurant hostess reply in unison. The comedians simply order coffee and "split some French fries" on this visit because they later make a sandwich stop at Arby's to "see if they have the meats."

There was nothing but love between comic legends Seinfeld and Eddie Murphy during the 2019 season two-part season premiere. "I am so happy to see you," Seinfeld says to Murphy, while seated at this LA-area cafe. "I love you so much. And always have. Always have. You've just always been the magical guy to me." Replies Murphy: "I told you, you were always the funniest. When I started out, you were always the funniest. Still."

Filmed before Jerry Lewis' death in August 2017, Seinfeld takes Lewis to one of the late comedian's favorite breakfast joints in this season 10 finale. Lewis forgoes the coffee and orders juice, three fried eggs "up" and a "large order of very, very, very stiff bacon." When the food comes out Seinfeld calls it "the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life, what's in front of you here."

After making a stop at Madman Espresso in New York City, Seinfeld and Alec Baldwin return to their home town of Massapequa in Long Island, New York for coffee and breakfast at this local Greek diner—which declares itself "a touchstone in the early coffee-drinking career of Jerry Seinfeld."

After walking around the city and joking that it shouldn't be hard to find an apartment in New York because there are so many of them, Seinfeld takes Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon to this Upper East Side Italian eatery for a cup of joe and lunch. McKinnon opts for pasta and Seinfeld orders one of the eatery's self-described "very special" paninis.

Comedian John Mulaney joins Seinfeld for a quick errand run to ABC Carpet & Home before eating at this wood-fired pizza kitchen, which is known for its homestyle Italian cooking like "Nonna" used to make.

At the Hermosa Beach outpost of this diner, which began as a small burger shack in West Los Angeles, Seinfeld and Comedy Central star Neal Brennan share the reasons why they didn't watch each other's shows.

Seinfeld takes The Daily Show correspondant Hasan Minhaj to this diner in Hastings-on-Hudson for breakfast. Their all-American meal: coffee and pancakes, of course.

Stand-up comedian Brian Regan asks Seinfeld if they have left-handed silverware at this cozy café and bakery near UCLA's campus.

After grocery shopping at King's with Tracy Morgan, Seinfeld sits down with the comedian at this Ridgewood diner. As Seinfeld eats his meal, he jokes: "You know what's funny about food? We always assume what they put on the plate is what we're supposed to have like they know something... I don't think they're thinking about us at all."

Ellen DeGeneres accompanies Seinfeld to coffee and breakfast at this eatery known for its "authentic Italian fare." Later, the pair visits the Montecito Coffee Shop and San Ysidro Pharmacy before DeGeneres plays a practical joke on Seinfeld (spoiler: she steals his car keys).

Seinfeld picks up Dave Chappelle at his hotel and takes him out for coffee at this comfort food eatery. Chappelle orders two hard-boiled eggs, which Seinfeld finds funny because people rarely order them in restaurants. "You just find them in the fridge," Seinfeld says.

In the season 10 premiere, Seinfeld and Zach Galifianakis pregame their coffee and donuts at Dinah's Chicken with more coffee and donuts from this Bourough Park bakery. Beacuse one round is never enough.

When this episode aired, Bob Einstein was the first comedians to appear twice on the series—so, to celebrate, in the season nine finale Seinfeld (apparently) gives him a car! It's a 2017 Acura NSX, which they take to this shop that prides itself on world class traditional teas and organic herbal blends. Einstein gets a laugh when he orders a hot chocolate.

Seinfeld takes Christoph Waltz to the International House of Pancakes in Torrance because of the actor's "very eclectic background of nationalities." Per Seinfeld's suggestion, Waltz tries the American pancake, the French crepe, and the Belgian waffle before saying: "I was about to ask, what I ever did to you."

Seinfeld and his guest Lewis Black cross Brooklyn Bridge to eat (and in Lewis' case, wear) eggs at this restaurant established in 1950, which has a bakery that serves up fresh baked rolls and danish all day long. It's also home to the "World's Most Fabulous Cheesecake," which neither of them order.

Seinfeld takes Cedric the Entertainer to this juice bar and café that boasts better tasting fruits and veggies because it buys produce from local farms. It's tough to decide which way to go on the menu that features "butcher bowls," "stone oven pizzas," and "cold-pressed juices."

Only comedian Kristen Wiig would ask for doughnuts at this pie paradise that calls itself "a trusted name in late night dining."

Officially, it's "the home of the 7 oz. burger" but unofficially it's home to perfect coffee cups, according to Norm MacDonald, who tries the house hot sauce despite Seinfeld's warning that it's "unbelievably hot."

John Oliver remarks on the "judgmental silence" at this self-described "rustic American gastropub," that offers brunch, burgers and butterscotch pudding served with whipped cream and a British Hobnob cookie.

Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels sip coffee under dim lighting at this storied Manhattan restaurant, which seems the perfect spot for Michaels to dish on the show's long history. Seinfeld's leafy green salad is so large, you hope it's not uncouth to ask for a doggy bag.

JB Smoove's dreams come true when Seinfeld picks him up in a 1964 Studebaker Avanti. The coffee shop they go to may be a dream factory, too. It serves up coffee so de-lish Seinfeld declares: "Man, that's good."

Seinfeld takes Judd Apatow to this retro diner — in a red 1968 Pontiac Firebird — which serves burgers so good that Apatow says he's glad he doesn't know how they got there, because he'd be back on the regular.

Seinfeld and Margaret Cho sip on Americano coffees at this Los Angeles spot that serves breakfast all day, but they hardly eat as they discuss the "rage" the fuels their comedy.

In the season 8 opener, Jim Gaffigan gets a retro ride around Manhattan in a 1977 VW camper bus on the way to this certified-kosher deli for pastrami sandwiches. During the meal's trippy "pastrami eating montage" there are so many adjectives and expletives, you feel full.

Will Ferrell has Seinfeld in stitches at this restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine, where they spend a great deal of their meal analyzing the behavior of cats. They also share a very tasty-looking baklava.

Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco jokes that they may "need a laptop" to get into this California coffee bar , where Seinfeld explains that 12 months of the year are spent supervising how the bean is grown and harvested.

This retro diner, which serves up American dishes and fresh-baked pies, is just one of the stops on Seinfeld's spin around town with Gary Shandling (in a 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo). They also talk shop at the iconic Comedy Store and the CBS Studios lot where they both filmed their shows.

Comedian Kathleen Madigan and her buddy, comedian Chuck Martin, squeeze into a tiny but sporty BMW 2002tii which Seinfeld drives to this café for coffee, croissants, and chatter about comedy on TV.

No gas? No problem! Despite a mishap in a 1954 Siata, Seinfeld and Steve Martin keep the conversation rolling at this suburban diner in Pleasantville, New York, where they chat about performing in front of thousands and somehow find the funny in a story about a very unfortunate suicide.

Season seven opens with the comedian and the Commander-in-Chief drinking coffee brewed from a Mr. Coffee machine – the drinks may have been average but the conversation was most definitely not. They chat about crazy foreign leaders, alarm clocks, Larry David's sunscreen and why the President appeals to the under 8 demographic (it's his ears!).

It irks Seinfeld that cheese from an omelet hangs from Stephen Colbert’s beard — it's that cheesy! During their (funny) awkward silences, someone should have ordered Bluestone brownies or pumpkin bread.

Seinfeld and new Daily Show host Trevor Noah down espressos at this cute shop that bakes up an array of delicious treats, including original Whoopi Pies which are available for order online and come in pumpkin or chocolate flavors. We'll take those on the daily.

Seinfeld orders eggs – all organic and cage free! – when he noshes at this diner with comedian Bill Maher. It's upsetting that neither of them took home a salted honey ($35) or chocolate caramel banana créme pie ($40) to go.

Jim Carrey brings his own coffee sweetener to this always-open restaurant , that serves up a lot of healthy fare (which is good because Carrey tells Seinfeld that he's on a cleanse). Sadly, that meant the fried Twinkies were off limits.

Comedian Steve Harvey talks about the business of being funny at this Chicago institution (famous for their corned beef) that has been compared to New York's famed Katz's deli.

The Seinfeld reunion every fan was waiting for took place in part at this artisanal coffee shop which some say serves the best tasting coffee in Los Angeles. He and Julia Louis-Dreyfus later sauntered over to Art's Table for some New American cuisine, chef Mark Mittleman's specialty.

Seinfeld and Jimmy Fallon marvel over the perfect pancakes at this Montauk family style restaurant that also serves up specialty crepe suzettes rolled with strawberry jam. Yum!

Of course, Seinfeld would take his "waspy" friend Alexandra Wentworth to a Bedminster Township country club for a casually upper class meal. Members and famous comedians only, please.

Portlandia star Fred Armisen helps Seinfeld carefully select Honduran and Brazilian beans for their brews at this craft coffee shop. The delicious cup "is a reason to live here," Seinfeld says.

Seinfeld takes abrasive Internet character Miranda Sings (played by Colleen Ballinger) to this deli "where every sandwich is a work of art" and orders a Thanksgiving feast in honor of the holiday. "That's a lot of meat," remarks Sings, who refuses to eat because she thinks he's annoying.

Seinfeld and his guest, comedian Bill Burr , may or may not have had choice words about their meals at this cafe , which prides itself on their gourmet sandwiches and savory organic coffees.

A Ferrari malfunction leads Seinfeld and Amy Schumer to stop in this Bronx diner for coffee and eggs, instead of Westchester County , as planned. Seinfeld gets testy when a waitress tries to push the toast on him.

Kevin Hart and Seinfeld roll up to "one of the last refuges for bohemian café goers" in a Porsche Spider and order iced coffees which aren't exactly what they expected. But Hart declares that they nailed the muffins!

Rounding out season four is Daily Show host Jon Stewart who heads to this Clifton, New Jersey, diner (where all the baking is done on premises) for a chat with Seinfeld about comedy, New York, and fatherhood.

Parks & Recreation star Aziz Ansari lets Seinfeld take the helm of his 45-foot-long tour bus (watch out for trees!) for their outing to this Shrewsbury classic truck stop which serves breakfast all day. One look at the menu and you'll have it memorized.

The Ossining diner situated near New York's Hudson River was a convenient stop for actor/comedian Robert Klein, who resides in nearby Briarcliff Manor. Large portions and good service make it an easy choice for locals – and comedians grabbing coffee.

There's a reason

Showgirls and Casino were filmed at this tourist trap. The ultra lounge's kitchy ambiance was the perfect vibe for Seinfeld's meeting with stand-up comedian George Wallace after a performance at the Flamingo. Caution: very hot coffee served here!

Season three kicks off with Sarah Jessica Parker rolling around town with Seinfeld in her coveted cherry red retro station wagon. They drive to the East Meadow diner that serves classic American fare (including a chocolate egg cream for Parker) and offers a lengthy list of desserts. Nevertheless, their sweet tooths take them to Francesco’s Bakery in Hicksville.

Coffee, waffle fries, and cheeseburgers are among the most popular items on the menu at this Queens diner, but Howard Stern opts for a cup of hot water to wet his whistle. The grand finale of their meal includes chocolate brownies that screw up Stern's diet.

It was the obvious choice for coffee with George Constanza (played by Jason Alexander), the comedian's best friend on Seinfeld. Boasting a wide selection of home cooked specials and made-to-order items, it's no wonder that Newman showed up for a bite, too.

Maybe it was when Tina Fey explained that cleaning feces (from children, dogs) is her household speciality that Seinfeld decided she needed two pitstops. The first, was this Cuban restaurant where their mouths were intrigued by the wheat puff milk shake. Next, they hit up the Dominique Ansel Bakery for a Cronut.

Seinfeld and comedian Todd Barry discuss the annual hot dog eating contest while downing the famous dogs at the Coney Island spot where it all takes place. "All I can think of is what happens afterwards," Barry says. Meal over.

Jay Leno orders his very first cup of coffee at this industrial-looking coffee spot – that boast it's own plantation in Guatemala – and deems it "awful." Seinfeld tells him he doesn't "get it."

In season three, comedian Patton Oswalt decries the lack of coffee sweeteners at this trendy shop that has since been purchased by Blue Bottle Coffee, which prides itself on coffee that's fruity and naturally sweet.

Build your own salad or try the soup (sold by the quart!) at this Allendale establishment where Chris Rock chose fries in a basket and a chicken salad sandwich.

There's more than just tea at this Williamsburg restaurant where Seth Meyers dished on office politics at Saturday Night Live. New York Magazine likes it's old fashioned comfort food and good people watching.
