Good Thanks is your go-to Aussie café in the LES for vibrant brunch bowls, killer avocado toast, and restorative cocktails, all in a chill, airy space.
"If you’re in the mood for something light or lunch that isn’t frozen, know that Good Thanks on the LES opened with a new takeout menu of sandwiches, sausage rolls, and salads. You can place your order through their website here." - hannah albertine
"If Good Thanks sounds like the sort of place that would serve avocado toast and smoothies with collagen, that’s because it is. It’s yet another Australian coffee shop in a narrow little space on the Lower East Side, and there are plenty of healthier options here. Grain bowls, for example, and also zucchini fritters. If you’re in the mood for some granola with fruit and algae, they have that, too. Come for a quick daytime meal, or stop by when you don’t want to wait for a table at Russ & Daughters Cafe (which is next door)." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
"For a neighborhood with so many nighttime spots that ensure cottonmouth and a longing for blue Gatorade, the LES doesn’t have many places to get a casual, healthy breakfast or lunch the next day. One solid option is Good Thanks, an all-day Australian cafe serving granola bowls with things like algae, collagen, and mixed fruit. If you’re not interested in ingredients that sound like they belong in a biology textbook, there are also plenty of other options (like a chicken caesar salad and a raw tuna bowl), as well as wine and beer if you need a little hair of the dog." - matt tervooren
"You ran into a high school classmate a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out you both live in the same neighborhood, a fact which for some reason inspired you to declare, “We should totally get together!” Try this little Australian cafe on the Lower East Side. It opens at 8am every day, and the food is pretty good - especially the kimchi scrambled eggs that come piled on a piece of sourdough (add bacon). There’s even a Happy Hour that starts at 2pm, which means you can get your meet-up out of the way early and move on with your day." - bryan kim
