Charley St

Our group of five all enjoyed the food! Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations! In particular want to call out that the entire restaurant is refined sugar free! No healthy cheap refined sugar (e.g. cane sugar, brown sugar) onsite!! That's really special since my husband has severe reactions to refined sugar so it feels sooooo assuring to know it's safe to eat anything on the menu. We had the chickpea smash, vegan chorizo burrito, tahini time plate, açai bowl, peanut butter cacao nibs muffin. All of them were solid. The tahini plate was super filling and had a diverse mix of veggies. The muffin actually totally surprised us since it was served on a plate decorated with maple syrup and peanut butter and banana like a cake! It's probably one of the best muffins we've had. The servers were all very friendly and energetic. Highly recommend!!

I really wanted to love this place, but sadly we had a bad experience. We got there on Sunday at 1:45pm , we were told that there’s a wait , so we waited outside. When we set (3 of us) it took the guy ages to give us the menus and then ages to come and get the order. And then we waited and waited and waited for the drinks (two coffees) and food for quite a while. They offered us a complimentary muffin because they noticed we’ve waited for so long. My plate was ready but they kept it on the counter until the rest is ready and I even saw the chef taking the two eggs from the top of the avocado toast plate and replace them with a fresh ones. Needless to say - yes, the eggs were warm, but the toast was very cold. My cousin ordered the brekkie sandwich and they updated us that they ran out of the roll and if he doesn’t mind having it in a regular bread. His wife who’ve ordered the waffle had to wait the longest cause her food just didn’t arrive. I also ordered halloumi cheese that I got when I almost finished my avocado toast. Unfortunately not a great experience, service was slacking and food was cold which made us regret not going to bluestone lane around the corner instead.

The burritos here were incredible. This place is known for having environmentally and health conscious foods which I really respect, and they're especially renowned for their plant based chorizo. The staff is very friendly- the chef/owner took his time to address all our questions and just have a genuine convo with us. Overall great vibes and environment. Definitely will be back

I enjoyed this cute healthy spot a lot! A lot of veggie options. It’s new and ready to rock. You can build your own bowl/plate and they also have gluten free bread. Located in Soho, i like their interiors and cups, perfect for IG pictures.

What a good find! Creative menu, super clean place, very friendly and helpful staff. We met one of the owners who is a real enthusiast of plant based eating and such a nice, friendly person. Great little restaurant, we will be back.

Loved everything about this place. Music is good, food is good, crowd is good. Actually maybe one thing to comment on is the halloumi cheese…I usually like it grilled and juicy inside, but it’s a preference of a taste, I still enjoyed it. The house made tomato sauce was EXCELLENT too.

This place is fun, the menu has some good options. The staff is very friendly. The brekkie sandwich is highly recommended but add the hot stuff hot sauce. The Panna Cotta with lemon curd was okay, if you don't like certain textures don't get it , but my partner really liked it. It's like chunky flan. The latte was pretty good. Hot chocolate was not sweet at all.

This is a great, non-corporate add to the neighborhood’s growing healthy eats vibe. The food is fresh and there are a lot of options. We went here for lunch and ordered the Tahini Time and Say Hi to Kale bowls and we loved every bite. The service was also super nice and they were on top of cleaning which I always appreciate. At the end, I got a cold brew and it was great...and really strong. Great food, reasonable price, awesome vibe; check it out.

Dropped in for a beautiful Saturday lunch with my favorite gluten-intolerant family. It was a privilege to be granted this time with them & Charley St was an ideal setting. There were plenty of gluten-free options that excited the typically limited-ladies at the table. Not being GF myself, I went with the Naughty Eggs toast & found it solid. Apparently the chorizo is plant-based which is remarkable since I could not confidently taste the difference. There was a chili essence to the chorizo but the chili oil seemed to not be present. The eggs were A1 and the table collectively admired the ova as I punctured them with my cutlery. The patriarch of the family had high reviews of his chicken sandwich, with only one reservation about his toast developing sogginess from its contents. If there was a method to maintain the moisture disparity, that would likely lift his review. I, for one, have a fragile mouth that cannot withstand too robust a toast, so was grateful to be spared from the potential gum trauma. Our server was notably sweet & patient and even helped smooth out some user error while using the handheld POS. I would be happy to return here!

I'm not going to lie but I've always thought NYC brunch was pretty mid. I said it. There's just very few brunch places that stand out you know. Charley St to me is a unique spot since they have both vegan and non vegan options but I would so willingly come back for the vegan options! There's no AC inside or maybe just very low so we were dripping in sweat. This is an open kitchen soooo if you sit by the kitchen you might just end up smelling like oil. We sat near this monsterra plant and damn it attracted a lot of flies. Would not recommend near it in the summer. I had the vegan waffle and the tahini bowl. The waffle had a weird taste but not too bad with the fruits on the side. I still like regular flour waffles though. The tahini harvest bowl was humongous. Seriously, the colorful broccoli and cauliflower selection was so delicious and sweet. I looked it up and apparently curry colored broccoli is expensive. The chicken was a bit dry though so I might need the kitchen to work on that! Besides that the sweet potatoes were baked slightly less soft but it's got a nice texture. I would definitely come back for the harvest bowl and maybe try more items on the menu !

Cute, cozy, and very aesthetic. I came by with 5 friends on a Friday morning, after hearing a glowing review from another friend. The establishment was clean, the workers were friendly, and the restaurant had a decent amount of variety. It was raining and we arrived around the same time as two other parties. Funnily though, our group only ordered two dishes (Naughty Eggs and Chorizo Burrito). I had the burrito and was slightly disappointed that the chorizo was burnt, the dish was heavy on the oil, and the quinoa seemed to overpower the dish. But, their cold brew was solid! If you're coming here for brunch, expect a bit of a wait after you've ordered!

Stopped here Friday morning to have a bite to eat and get some work done. The ambiance is great, not too noisy but definitely buzzing with people. You can tell they have a large loyal customer base because people who were stopping in knew the staff's names and vice versa. The reason I picked this place over other cafes in the area was the ample amount of seating. A lot of shapes in the area have 1 or 2 tables, if anything so this is great for groups, stopping in for breakfast or lunch, or to take a break out of the day. I got the oatmeal and a drip coffee. The coffee was delicious, it was a darker roast and was full of flavor - was very happy drinking it black. The oatmeal was huge. They did garnish it with microgreens which I didn't understand. The oatmeal has bananas and apples in it but was smothered in honey. Next time, would definitely order it again but ask for honey on the side because the sweetness was overpowering towards the bottom of the bowl. Another thing was that they don't have Wifi available, which I find strange if they have that much seating available. I understand some places don't want people sitting there for hours at a time but I wish I knew it before I sat down to get some emails done. Overall, great spot in the LES. Will definitely go back!

Charley St is still one of my favourite Australian brunches in NYC. We don't come here as often now that we live in Brooklyn, but I'm glad they've been able to survive the pandemic. We came here for Sunday brunch over the weekend on a particularly cold winter day. There aren't any heaters for outdoor heating so it was pretty cold. We got the eggs Benedict, nourish bowl and coconut butternut squash soup. The menu is a little bit more limited than what they used to have pre-pandemic, but all the food is amazingly delicious. Service is always pleasant and efficient. Would recommend for a healthy brunch. Coffee is great too.

Small escape into coastal chic design and calming vibes. Love the decor at this place. But even better are the matcha lattes! They put a good amount of matcha and you can enjoy the flavors without feeling a sugary syrup.

Great brunch and sit around spot in nolita with their oat latte is great. Haven't had a chance to try other things cus it closed pretty.

Food is very very good, but the service and kitchen were exceptionally slow. Tough in an open kitchen, when you're watching food come out and just... waiting.

Cute and aesthetic. Good portions. Friendly workers! Was highly recommended this place by a few friends. Staff was very nice and efficient, and I got my take out order within 5 mins of ordering. Only thing was that the quinoa overpowered the spring seasonal bowl, and it had way too much balsamic dressing.

Not going to lie, before moving to NYC, I had no idea what Australians ate so I had no idea what to expect at an Australian restaurant. This food is good as hell. I stopped here after morning yoga because I needed to refuel and get something healthy. The food here is really good with a lot of energy and it's legit filled with the important macro and micronutrients you need! I got the Aussie breakfast and matcha latte. The avocado is seasoned really well and I really like the beet cured salmon. The matcha powder they use also doesn't taste too "earthy." I'm a fan, will come back.

I have never spent sooooooo unhappily on food as I did today at this place. Customer service: 0/10 Not sure why all 3 male waiters didn't see our hands flagging them twice...each time for more than 3 minutes. But funny how they asked for your credit card within 3 seconds the moment you asked for the bill The matcha latte was more like a glass of milk! We had to ask them to redo it, to add some more matcha, so we could get some tiny bit of matcha taste. Wait time for food arrival: 35 minutes. In a morning where more than half of the restaurant empty, 35 min of wait time was unacceptable. To conclude this dining experience, there was a big cockroach crawling underneath our table....we grabbed our bags and ran!

First time here and I was blown away. The service was spectacular, one of the chefs introduced themselves and even brought us out some fresh bread to try free of charge. The drinks were so yummy as well as the sandwich. Will be stopping by here next time I am in New York for sure.

I hate giving bad reviews and I mean HATE but it has to be done here. This was a spot that my friend raved about. She told me should would go weekly and was excited for me to try it. We sit outside and our waiter was horrible. He forgot to bring us our drinks. Messed up our orders. It was a total shit show. We passed by recently and even she told me she hasn't been back since that day.

I have never been much into the plant based craze, but Charley St may have changed my mind on that. The atmosphere is incredible. Modern, personal, and very open. The space feels a lot bigger than it might be. I got the Brekkie sandwich with chorizo, and it was delicious. The chorizo had a good spice, almost a little too much for me but I made it through. My wife got the PB&J oatmeal and that was incredible. A great balance of fresh fruit and hearty oats brought the dish together. I highly recommend making the trip down to Soho to check this place out.

Had a great quick lunch here today. They offer a variety of options, mostly focused around breakfast and lunch options (think avocado toast, poached eggs, bowls and coffee/tea). I went with the Down to Earth bowl and it was delicious. The mushroom ragú was not what I expected but all the different flavors and textures in the bowl complemented each other well. Great staff and fair prices. Such a good and underrated lunch spot in the area!

Had such a great experience in here last weekend! What a cute vibe! The people who work there are all so kind and attentive. I started with a flat white. Always my go to if they have it! It came in the most adorable little mug. For food, I ordered the avocado toast and the date smoothie. The avocado toast was tasty! Not my usual brunch order so not sure why I was craving it but still good! The date smoothie though was to die for! I need to figure out how to recreate it because I've been craving it ever since I had it. Overall a 10/10 meal. Highly recommend!

A solid and healthy brunch spot! After encounter an extremely long wait time at a nearby restaurant on a rainy weekend, my friend and I decided to head to Charley Street. We started with Iced Oat Matcha lattes (yum) and I ordered the Mr. Nourish Grain Bowl. Huge portion, and absolutely delish! The service was a bit cold and slow, but otherwise, an enjoyable meal. My friend and I left full and fueled.

Not sure what all the hype is about, especially with all of the great brunch places in the area. The naughty eggs dish was objectively bad, as the plant based chorizo was burned so bad it was barely edible and tasted like straight carbon. The waiters were also rude. The chickpea smash and coffees were decent, which is why I give 2 stars instead of one.

Incredible place with amazing food and the sweetest staff! Has quickly become our second home! Every item on the menu is crafted with health in mind so you can feel confident in anything you order! I highly recommend this adorable little cafe!

We got there just as it opened. We were greeted well. There was not a lot of other people there so I feel like that is why we got a lot of attention but not too much either. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Got the crazy eggs. I see why it's well reviewed. Lots of flavor and chorizo and hummus balance each other out. The only downside is there are no free refills on drip coffee. No warning about it either.

Truly the most surprisingly delicious brunch spot. It's a cute cafe, pretty easy to walk in and grab a spot. The food is fresh and delicious--I love what the cafe stands for in bringing local foods in and making their stuff in house (even the vegan chorizo).

Super cute australian brunch place with spacious indoor dining. The tables were spaced out and I felt comfortable dining here. They also have a few tables outdoors on the sidewalk (no heaters). We ordered the plant based waffle with berries and the naughty eggs (poached eggs w/hummus and crispy meat bits over toast). The naughty eggs stood out to me, they were tasty and the eggs were poached perfectly. I think the waffles were okay, I would've liked if there were a little crispier. Overall it's a cute brunch place to hang out at and take friends to :) tip: they have a yelp check in offer where you can get a free cup of drip coffee which is what I did!

The burritos here were incredible. This place is known for having environmentally and health conscious foods which I really respect, and they're especially renowned for their plant based chorizo. The staff is very friendly- the chef/owner took his time to address all our questions and just have a genuine convo with us. Overall great vibes and environment. Definitely will be back

Such a cozy spot to catch up on some work and have a hearty meal! I'm visiting friends in the city and needed to squeeze in a couple of hours of work. Food 5/5: I got a salted caramel oatmeal bowl, and it was absolutely scrummy. It was served cold and topped with strawberries and crunchy thing. The flavors lined up very well, and the portion was absolutely HUGE. I also got a house coffee (10 am in NYC is 7 am, meaning I need an extra energy boost). Ambiance 4.5/5: This spot is so spacious and filled with light. There are plenty of outlets, but I don't think they have WiFi (at least I couldn't figure it out). Service 5/5: everything was fast and delicious, what else can you wish for? Bonus point: they have a hip restroom with avocado wallpaper (got some nice selfies there).

Came here for brunch today!! Ordered iced lattes, the naughty toast and the smoothie bowl. Everything was super delicious and very aesthetic. I didn't have the greatest first experience with an Australian-style brunch in NYC before but this was amazing!! Felt so good and healthy after. I do wish they still had the classic avocado toast with the smoked salmon though. Maybe they'll bring it back one day... Service was also extremely friendly and nice. The food did take a little while-- about 20 mins-- but it didn't bother me. Also, keep in mind the free coffee with Yelp check-in is no longer valid!

What a cute cafe with great food! Visited for brunch and ordered some fantastic food. The butternut squash soup is sooo good! Service was great and the ambiance was bright and welcoming. A must to visit if you're in Little Italy & yes, they have many vegan and vegetarian option to choose from which I enjoyed!

Unfortunately they seem to be focusing on their brand and the cafe itself is not as healthy as it used to be, specially if you're not vegetarian. Most of their options are pretty calories/carbs loaded and artificial vegan dishes. Miss the simple bowls they used to have. The hours are odd as well, many times I stopped by and they were closed.

Cute decor - Like all new places these days, there are a lot of insta-worthy elements. Super nice staff as well. Unfortunately, I feel like their food falls a bit flat and pricing is still not low enough for what you get (self service too). There's a lot of other Australian brunch places popping up in the city (Banter, Two Hands, etc...) so you really have to have great food to stand out... Their menu can be a little clearer on what's included and what is extra/for how much, especially on the bowls. Even after he explained it, I still didn't quite get it and just ordered something right off the menu with no additions. I'm not sure if you order first or if you pay first, but since there was no one else in line, the guy took our order and asked us to go pay at the cashier. They then brought the food over to our table (not sure if this is the norm since they don't give you numbers, or if this was just because they weren't busy), but utensils/water are all self service. This is what we got: Aussie Classic (Avo poached egg with salmon on toast or grains) $11.40 I chose to get this with the grains (website says +$1 but I don't remember if I got charged that or not since it didn't say that in-store). When I saw it, it looked pretty drabby...all the colors and plating looked bleh. When I started to dig into it, there really wasn't a lot of flavor unless you pair everything with the smoked salmon. Also not a lot of texture in this dish either. Pretty disappointed. Feeling Nutty (Signature butternut coconut spread, roasted cauliflower, tahini) $9.80 My friend got the Feeling Nutty - I actually really liked the presentation of this dish, super fresh/bright colors. I didn't get to try it but she seemed to like it. If you're hungry, I would imagine this wouldn't be enough though :( They also have a BYOB option for $11.25 - not super clear on how the upcharges work for certain things, but it may be worth it to see if this could be a cheaper option. BYOB ($11.25) Choice of grain or toast (quinoa, wild rice, sourdough toast, gluten-free toast) 1 green (arugula, kale) 1 spread (roasted garlic hummus, avocado, coconut beet, butternut coconut) 2 toppings 1 sauce 1 protein (chicken, smoked salmon, poached egg, vegan mushroom ragu) *on their website, it doesn't list any additional charge for salmon, but in their store menu it says +$2. The vegan mushroom ragu option is also not on their in-store menu. I know it's sometimes super nice to have all the windows open on a nice summer day, but when it's super humid and hot, they should probably consider closing everything up and turn up the AC. It was pretty steamy inside on the day I went and there were lots of flies everywhere unfortunately :(.

First time coming here and it was delicious! This must be one of the most healthiest brunch spot I went to haha Upon entering the establishment they take your temperature and they request your name and phone number for contact tracing. Our waiter gave my party an amazing table and the other parties were nicely spaced apart from each other. We ordered the Chorizó burrito & Eggs Bene. At first I thought the serving would not be filling but I was deceived. Fun Tip: If you check in on Yelp they'll give you a free additional coffee with a purchase of food! My waiter was kind enough to offer a latte! Will most definitely be returning.

You will not be disappointed! Miguel was great !!! In highly recommend naughty eggs!!

This is the perfect spot for that after workout meal or if you are not starving but need something healthy in your system. The space itself is airy and beautiful. It's a great space to come and grab a coffee and an avocado toast for a quick chat with a friend or for some light reading. I had the Avo Smash and also tried one of their juice options. I found it filling enough and refreshing. The service was great and everything seems to be at a decent price point. 4.6/5

Came here for lunch after my workout class @ hit house. I got the down to earth bowl to go and a cold brew coffee (FREE if you check in @ yelp, yas). The bowl tastes amazing and is very fulfilling - I particularly love the hummus and grilled eggplant in the bowl. The price tag is $10-$15 bucks for a bowl, which tbh is very affordable for Nolita. One more thing I want to note is its friendly staff. Everyone I talked to was very nice and smiley. It really makes the whole ordering and waiting experience better. All in all, this place is great. I am definitely coming back to try some other bowls

Charley St is a cute spot with the famous avocado wall in their bathroom. However, I was quite disappointed in my meal. I arrived at noon with a friend and the waitress told me they were all out of their smoothie bowls. That was a huge bummer and I scanned the menu for my second choice and opted for their Aussie Classic. They were out of the salmon for that and she prompted me to get their Happy Morning ($14) which came with two poached eggs, a small amount of kale chips, and mashed avocados on very thick toasts. It's hard to justify the price for that, and it was unfortunately not too great. It was quite sour and the kale chips were the only redemption to the meal. I also ordered their matcha latte ($4.5), which was too powdery for my liking.

If you are looking for a healthy grab and go eatery or to stay hangout and chat with your friends, this is an ideal spot in Nolita. Don't miss the avocado wallpaper in the bathroom, the oat milk cortados are one of the best in the city, and the banana bread which by the way is gluten free with no added sugar. My go to order: oat milk cortado, lunch the seasonal soup. Dog friendly, perfect for woman's best friend. P.s. Linus likes a poached egg

tldr; amazing Australian coffee, delicious vegan brunch food, no WIFI Actually obsessed with this place. Charley St. is this bright mint green storefront that pops out on the street. It's bright and welcoming when you walk in with good outdoor and indoor seating. This is an Australian coffee shop so you already know that the coffee was AMAAAZING. Just as good as the places in Australia. With that, just remember that the cups are much smaller than you're average coffee shop latte for the same price. Still worth if you enjoy coffee for the taste! Also got a chorizo burrito. It's VEGAN which was amazing because I don't eat red meat. I think everything at the restaurant is vegan. The burrito was actually soooo flavorful and cooked to perfection. It's also deceivingly large and I was able to eat it for two meals (tasted just as good cold). There is also NO WIFI HERE. I went to study and had to go back home after ordering because I didn't realize. Go here if you can!!

This place was an awesome random find wandering through the streets of SOHO in the early morning. While I'm as big a meat eater as the next person - this primarily veggie based menu didn't make you worry about missing out on that glorious protein. We ordered: - Naughty Eggs ($14) - Byron Bowl ($11) - Cortado ($3.70) - Cappucino ($3.90) ..and man did it hit the spot. The veggie-based chorizo was very impressive on the Naughty Eggs. It left this Choriz-aholic satisfied. Beyond the food and drank, the atmosphere and vibe was laid-back and inviting. It reminded us of our favorite spots back in LA. Overall - very impressed with this spot in this crowded market of trendy SOHO. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for your morning caffeine and breaky.

After a workout, I came here in hopes of having a light breakfast and getting some work done. I got the Happy Morning, which featured avocado and two poached eggs drizzled in olive oil and pesto over a thick slice of sourdough. It was unfortunately quite disappointing. Though the poached eggs were done perfectly, the avocado did not taste fresh and was not seasoned at all. It also left an unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Since the barista also came late (it was 11 o'clock on a weekday?), coffee drinks were unavailable. The space itself is quite large with several four-seater tables, making it a good place to work or have a quick coffee meeting. It's self-serve so you just order and pay at the register. They seem severely understaffed with only one person manning the entire place and running in-and-out of the restaurant to grab the food from where I assume to be the kitchen. However, he was very friendly so that was nice. I'll probably come back in the future to do work on my laptop / finally try their coffee but I'll be skipping their toasts for now.

AMAZING new Aussie fast-casual restaurant in heart of Nolita. Staff is welcoming/friendly, food is DELICIOUS, coffee is spot-on and the prices are killer. HIGHLY recommend -- First visit at Charley St I ordered two-toasts for breakfast, worked from laptop for a few hours and stayed for lunch. Safe to say this is my new go-to spot

The hospitality you will experience here is nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere matches the liveliness of the city, while maintaining a high degree of cleanliness. The menu is substitute friendly, making it easy to accommodate both meat eaters and vegans alike, so bring your family, and enjoy! Also, if you love avocados... go into the bathroom... trust me.

Took a long walk here from work on a nice day and it was very worth it! Cute spot with room to do work as well as eat. I honestly don't remember what I got but it was a bowl and it left me wanting to go back for more. Just wish the portions were a littleeeee bit larger.

My bowl was really good but I went in the afternoon and the place is new so my bowl wasn't as listed on the menu. I ordered the tahini time bowl. They were out of quinoa so I got wild rice. Also I think he gave me the hummus instead of butternut squash sauce. The grains are hot but everything else in the bowl is cold, which I wasn't expecting. I wouldn't go out of my way to try this restaurant but if you need a quick healthy lunch it's good!

I enjoyed this cute healthy spot a lot! A lot of veggie options. It's new and ready to rock. You can build your own bowl/plate and they also have gluten free bread. Located in Soho, i like their interiors and cups, perfect for IG pictures.

Cute little dine-in brunch spot! The interior was very refreshing, open and calming. I love that they had tables with both chairs and couches--plus they have wifi! The food was reasonably priced, most items about $11, and all the ingredients were fresh and very healthy. The reason why I rated 4 stars was that the food tasted a little bland, probably due to the lack of salt or extra flavoring added. But I believe this place offers very healthy and filling options to eat, but it just was a little too healthy for my usual taste, hence the lack of artificial favoring. Overall I had a great experience at Charley St., and I will surely be back for brunch! Food: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10

Amazing toasts, the sourdough bread is so fresh with a crispy crust on the outside yet super airy texture on the inside. Without a doubt a must-try brunch spot!

Sooooo good! Went back literally the next day. Very fresh ingredients. Had the bowl with coconut curry chicpeas. The bowl was delicious and so satisfying. Cool relaxing vibe. Had breakfast the next day it was a Delicious meal with poached egg dish with veggie choizo. I wanna go back and try everything!!!

Friendly staff and great service! Will come back for Aussie classic since they were out of beer cured salmon.

Very solid healthy food, nicely decorated and laid out. Lovely staff and owners. I come here all the time for coffee, lunch, and breakfast

Great food, great service! Highly recommend checking out this oasis. The avocado toast was high quality!

Great service, the food is amazing and it feels good knowing that I'm eating a healthy meal!
