Came here after a Pilates class for a quick bite. It was very quiet (fourth of July) and the staff was super friendly :) Food itself was good. They had other options that looked great but I was in the mood for something light. I also ordered an iced americano and that was very tasty as well. The ambience is great. I like how they have high top tables at the entrance and past that it's a laptop zone free area, so appreciate the versatility. I'd definitely go back and try other items on the menu!

super cute brunch cafe near Gramercy Park! Personally I felt it's pricey for the portion you get (my golden french toast was $15 for one piece of toast)

Walked in on a random Saturday afternoon because we happened to be close by and was so impressed with everything! - service : the inside was full but we got offered and seated right away at an outside table. The extremely competent and kind server took order within minutes, changed chair because there was a screw loose, and brought out the food literally faster than anywhere we have eaten recently (tops 5 mins) - food : we had the above toast and the big breakkie and both were AMAZING. The best about toast I've had anywhere in the city. One of the managers thoughtfully offered to bring out some hot sauce and it was also beyond excellent. The coffee was strong and so flavorful. - ambiance - many people can in with dogs and the staff thoughtfully offered to bring out water for the "babies". That tells you everything you need to know about the ambiance. Five exceptional stars, everyone must come by!

I swear everyone has been gate-keeping Australian food from me!! I wasn't sure what to expect when I came to this place at a friend's recommendation, but wow, am I happy I followed it. + We ordered the chicken harissa plate - delicious AND healthy. I loved it so much I came back for it the week after. + We also enjoyed the chai. - I'd skip the cast iron eggs (nothing too special about it). While we were there, the wait staff was super responsive and friendly. We didn't have to wait but we came at an off-peak hour. The next time we came (peak hours/brunch), they said there was only one seat available and we'd have to leave after 90 mins. I also appreciated the menu and decor which was on-brand and quirky.

My friends and I came as walk-ins. We did not have to wait at all and the waiters were all so friendly. After we finished eating they did not immediately bring the check and let us talk for a while longer. This may have been because it was an off time, as we were some of the only people in the restaurant, but it was very nice not to be rushed out! The food was great! I had a large iced coffee with almond milk. The almond milk came in a tiny milk pitcher to share. We were charged for both coffees having almond milk, but only got the tiny pitcher. It was enough for the two of us to split, but we also like our coffees on the darker side. I split the brisket burger and egg brekkie sandwich with one of my friends. First off, both of these burger/sandwiches were really easy to cut. Normally if you try cutting a burger or egg sandwich in half it just falls apart but these were so easy to cut so I'd recommend sharing with your friends if you get the chance! I really enjoyed the brisket burger. It was nicely balance and the flavor all smelted together. The egg sandwich was also really delicious, I would just recommend trying the tomato chutney before closing your sandwich. My friend and I both didn't like it so we scraped it off. My last note is that the menu online is not necessarily up to date. A lot of what is on the online menu is not what was on the menu that we received. For example, the Beef Brisket Burger says it comes with chicken salted fries on the website menu, but mine came with an arugula salad. I did not plan to come here so I did not look at the menu ahead of time, so I'm not sure if this is the only thing. I would definitely expect a few changes if you're someone who reads the menu ahead of time.
