The cutest Australian cafe! The golden folded eggs are a must. Almost like an egg croissant with how many folded layers there were. The ambiance is very cozy and has window space to people watch. The service was awesome. Very sweet ladies helped us today.

Food was simple and fresh; cute, calm place. I went for a lil solo date on my lunch break, and it was everything I needed. Staff super friendly.

Nice brunch place, food is yummy and cappuccinos are great. Ordered the golden eggs which comes with mushroom and kale, folded eggs, bacon and a side of toast. It was delicious and the eggs were so fluffy. Service is quick also but can get crowded and loud even on a weekday so difficult to work on a laptop.

No reservations! Only walk in! This place is so cute and the food is delicious. This cafe serves really wholesome breakfast dishes like eggs and a literal half of an avocado. The drinks here are also so yummy! Service is awesome, food is good, and this location is near a ton of great spots including the high line so you can walk the brunch off after!

Cute spot to have brunch with the ladies! We visited on a weekday afternoon and we were able to get a table outside with no issue at all. This spot definitely has a very chill, and casual vibe. We didn't feel rushed to leave at any point, and it felt like we could have sat there for hours! Their menu has a lot of nice dishes that can work for both lunch and brunch. Loved the option of getting a side salad with my eggs! :)

I went on a Wednesday morning and thankfully it wasn't too busy. It was a nice day out, so I sat outside on the patio. I got the golden folded eggs, which are soft scrambled eggs with sides of: mushrooms, bacon, salad, and avocado. I also got a latte. I loved the side of mushrooms, so delicious! Cute place to grab brunch with friends.

Food- I had the salmon toast which exceeded my expectations. It was delicious and the fish was fresh and the toast was crunchy 5/5. The breakfast plate was tasty and felt like it came straight off the farm. 5/5 Service- the plates came out extremely fast and the service was great. The staff was attentive and friendly. Overall I was very pleased with my breakfast at banter and I will be back the next time I'm in New York.

This brunch place ranks high on my list in New York! The quality of the food was so fresh and the portions were plentiful. This place doesn't take any reservations, so I would recommend coming here on the earlier side if you don't want a long wait. They're able to take your name and phone # to text you when your table is ready. For a table of 4, we got sat in 10 min ~11am. I came here on a Sunday to take my parents around town and I think this is a great place to introduce visitors to what New York food is about. The menu is quite balanced and feels healthy which is a huge plus. The salmon toast was loaded with smoked salmon, so I was left satisfied and full after my meal. I would highly recommend getting one of the juices. There's something about fresh juice and breakfast that tie a meal together! The outdoor seating is as cute as the indoor seating. The staff is also very friendly so the experience was enjoyable overall.

We got seated right away around 1030ish on a Saturday. The space from one table to another is tight but still comfortable. Food was amazing, probably the best brunch place I've had during my visit in the city. I ordered the Bacon Egg Roll, it was very fresh and I could tell that it was prepared with great ingredients. The fries made of sweet potatoes were cooked amazingly. My partner ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich, the chicken was thinly cut and the breading wasn't thick or overwhelming with right amount of spice and honey. We will definitely go back to this place and highly recommend it.
