"At this point, there are probably more Australian coffee shops in NYC than there are in Australia. Citizens of Gramercy (which, not too surprisingly, is from the same people behind Citizens of Chelsea) is one of them. They serve breakfast all day, in addition to various bowls that are made with everything from bee pollen and granola to quinoa and edamame. They also serve a few different sandwiches, plus beer and wine. Try this place for a breakfast meeting or a quick lunch with a friend." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Much like Banter, Citizens of Gramercy is an Australian coffee shop with both food and alcohol, and it’s another place where you can hang out for 30 minutes, talk to someone about his or her career path, then say, “Oh shoot, I have to meet the cable guy,” and leave. Although if you’re enjoying the conversation, there’s no need to rush, and you have food options ranging from avocado toast to a short rib sandwich." - Bryan Kim

I ordered the golden French toast. It’s the worst food experience I’ve had in a while. The brioche is covered by a lot of really sweet syrupy cream that does not taste good or complementing in any way. There was a number of sour berries(with an overflow of juice) and some crunchy caramel candies lying in the plate. I would guess the idea is to complement the intense sweetness of the syrupy cream. But it just does not work. It feels like this was only set up for the aesthetics but no concern for taste whatsoever. I had two bites and just cannot continue eating it. My husband ordered the cast iron egg brekki and it was not good either.

One of my favorite places for brunch! The food and service is pretty good. The only sad thing, is that she they changed their menu and took out some of my favorite plates. The new breaking sandwich is not as good as the original menu. Too much bread and not enough filling. I miss the old Brekki Sandwich and the old tortilla bowl!

Really great spot to have brunch. Loved the aesthetic and set up of the cafe. The menu was vegetarian friendly which was a plus and it had a broad range or savory to sweet brunch options. We got the avocado toast which was really quite delicious, but the star of the show was the golden French toast. It was like a fun surprise with every bite. Really great spot to go with friends or even by yourself! I really enjoyed and it will for sure be returning.

The inside is cute and I enjoyed the shakshuka. The side pita chips felt a little oily, but were still good! My friend enjoyed the eggs benny. Neither of us was blown away, but cute brunch place & very friendly service. Thank you :)

The place is lovely, my friend and I had a good time over there. The food looks amazing and the coffee was just right for me. I ordered a cortado and baked eggs (pictures below). However, one of the spoon was caked with some leftovers when it got to our table. I couldn’t get that out of my mind. Thankfully, the service staff was friendly and responsive and they took care of it immediately. The food portions were generous and dishes look very polished. I enjoyed my time here except for the caked spoon part. The location is amazing but for the price point, I think you can do better in the neighborhood.

What a cute cafe! You can get breakfast items all day as well as some very fresh veggie bowls. I had a cold brew coffee with a Belgium waffle and a side of the potatoes. The waffle was a little on the smaller side but it was served with fruits and a hazelnut crumble, it was such a fusion of flavors, definitely worth it! My friend ordered the wellness bowl which was a huge portion and very filling. Everything served was very fresh and very flavorful. They have a variety of breakfast drinks available and hopefully will have cocktails, beer and wine soon. I would visit again to try some other items on the menu. Our server was awesome as well!

I know Citizens has many different locations throughout the city. I enjoy this spot because it’s in the cut. I do feel the employees could be more attentive to the people walking in. You feel kinda awkward when you walk in because you can’t tell if it’s over the counter service or pick a table. I ended up ordering at the counter for food to stay, but then told to pick a table. Told waiter same order when they approached me. Everything else went smooth and well. Got my meal & the waiter was super nice. It’s a chill spot. Do feel they need to pick between Cafe or restaurant vibes having them both is complicated.
