Banter never disappoints. Relaxing, casual vibes. Modern pop hits playing softly in the background. Outdoor and indoor sitting. Very small space, so you'll be squeezed tightly with your neighbors. Come here after the brunch rush, after 1:30pm, to get a seat. Otherwise, there's always a wait. Quick, efficient service. Menu is small, simple, but everything is tasty and you can't go wrong with any option. $24 big banter Breakfast was a healthy combo of filling ingredients. Good to share between two people or take leftovers home. $18 avocado toast + $3 egg was tasty, filling and healthy. Pretty presentation. $6 hot matcha was disappointing. Very bland and watered down. Tasted only milk, no matcha, which was sad. read more

Banter - Mushroom Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Arrived 1030am and was seated quickly and order placed timely. Place was clean. Not many tables inside maybe 10-12z they have outdoor seating which I would have gladly taken but was full. Which is always a good sign food must be delish! Once we recieved our food which was hmmm good, it did get busy inside, and this caused us to wait longer then we should have. So couldn't get a second mimosa or coffee, because we needed to pay our check quickly before street cleaner was coming. Anyway side note, We got the ticket but left with our bellies full and happy to have found this lil brunch spot. read more

I came here on a weekend earlier in the morning and it was pretty quiet and peaceful which was nice. I ordered the golden folded eggs which I'd highly recommend. It was a nice and balanced healthy breakfast with eggs, avocado, kale, mushrooms, and bacon. My favorite were the mushrooms, they were soft and fragrant. The eggs were cooked well too. The staff was nice and very attentive. A great place to stop for an Australian style brunch! read more

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.

great food and drinks! the pistacchio mocha was especially good, would recommend! the staff here was all very friendly considering how hectic and packed it was. my only issue was the seating. there was five of us in a really tiny booth with a chair at the end, and it was super cramped. other than that, it was a good experience. read more

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! :) read more

Banter - Mushroom Wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Walked in and requested booth (because the entire restaurant was EMPTY at 930 am) for a friend and I, and the waitress gave us a HARD NO because we were a party of 2... LOL, are you just kidding?! The food was meh...Not bad, but nothing special, and bill was about $100 for 2 (and we didn't go overboard) Take your business elsewhere IMO... Shame on servers for not accommodating customers in an empty establishment...totally changed my mood/experience read more

I don't know where they source their gluten-free wraps, but they're amazing and don't fall apart. The Thai chicken wrap was delicious and the chicken salad was not loaded w mayonnaise. They just added the tempura cauliflower which is also gluten-free and must be ordered. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had the Golden Folded Eggs and Avocado toast. They were all tasty. The eggs met my expectation of being soft, and the toast was just right! As you chewed, it broke and absorbed a nice taste. This was a nice assortment of plates. read more

Ordered ice latte, oj and the fresh start. All very delish. The oj seemed freshly squeezed and the fresh start tasted like lemonade with a hint of ginger. Got the big banter and the 2 eggs scrambled. It filled us perfectly. I gave my partner my crispy bacon since he wanted to order it as a side but he just took it from mine. Mini hack? First time trying halloumi and it was very salty. Is it suppose to be that way? Everything else was really good. Would come back to try the other dishes. We saw a table next to us have avocado/salmon toasts and they looked worth the price. Portion was huge and didn't skimp like some other places. Place was packed on a Saturday at 130pm. Liked the music selection too. If you don't read any of any of my review, just take this one huge tip, use the yelp waitlist for this place!! I put us on the waitlist 1 train stop away and by time we walked there, our table was ready for us. Walk-ins had a 20 min wait. read more

So happy I found this restaurant on my way out of the city. The lunch here was fantastic and I can not wait to return here on my next visit to the village. The food here tasted so incredibly fresh and even my picky dining companions enjoyed everything we tried. I started with an iced matcha latte and my husband tried the golden latte. Both drinks came in a timely fashion and tasted great. For lunch we had the avocado toast and the overnight oats. Definitely get the overnight oats, it was the best item we tried during our entire visit to New York. The presentation of everything was beautiful and I was super impressed with our entire dining experience. read more

Cute place to grab brunch with friends. read more

After running a whooping 10 miles with some friends decided to treat myself to a lovely breakfast with the run club at Banter Saturday morning! The wait was not long at all so we figured it was a good sign to eat there - plus a friend had been and said it was delish Shared the salmon toast and bacon sandwich with a friend - may i just say this salmon toast with a poached egg was FIRE - so much salmon came w it and adding the hot sauce on top was sooo delish i recommend everyone to get this. the bacon sandwich was mid - wouldnt order again tbh the banana bread we got for the table and split it was so warm and moist plus the cinnamon dipping sauce - couldnt have been a more perf combo!! would recommend and come back - only con was we were seated outside and for some reason they turned the heaters off randomly, not cool!! read more

Food was ok. Generic brunch food that feels like an LA cafe. The food is fresh but nothing really novel. The brunch drinks are solid. Ambiance feels light and airy. Service left a lot to be desired, did not answer the questions about the menu well and were quite rude when we were checking out, had some difficulty getting the check. In a good area if you want to go shopping afterwards, but would go elsewhere. read more

Banter - Two Eggs any style, Mocha - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Reliable space to meet with family and friends for breakfast in a comfortable settings. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We always plan to come here before heading to The Whitney Museum. We splurged on the folded egg breakfast place, nutella french toast and a side of fried chicken. A round of latte and two americanos completed out meal. The housemade hot sauce is mild but tasty and great on the eggs. the folded eggs looked like a rosette surrounded by chopped kale, broccoli, quinoa, avocado and sauteed mushrooms. Nutella french toast served as a great sweet finish. read more

My friend recommended this small brunch spot and I am so happy she did. This will absolutely be added to my favorite brunch spots in NYC. Definitely coming back here the next time I am in the city! My mouth is watering just thinking of what we ordered. We got: -The smoked salmon toast which came with whipped garlic feta, cucumbers, pickled onions, dill, lemon, sourdough and a poached egg. Don't forget the poached egg! The entire thing is perfectly balanced and season, but that egg really pushes it over the edge. -The nutella french toast served with nutella, blackberries, strawberries, and maple syrup. Wow is all I have to say. I am typically not a sweets type of person, but this french toast was EVERYTHING I dream of. Perfect balace of sweet, nutella, and sour from the fruit. Wasn't overly sweet or heavy. read more

Pretty good brunch cafe in West Village, but I do think everything was quite standard. The interior was cute and airy and the service was decent. The brunch selection is basically what you'd expect and every other brunch place. Not that that's a bad thing though! I enjoyed the smoked salmon on sourdough toast which came topped with cucumbers and pickled onion. They were very generous with the salmon which I appreciate. The salmon also tasted very fresh. Overall, it was a pretty good meal! read more

Busy place, I believe it's walk in only. Recommend joining Yelp waitlist. Cute, small spot. Loud. Nice staff. Very quick service, almost too quick.

West Village can be a hotspot for brunch, but brunching before 11am helps you avoid that afternoon rush and those 20 party long waiting lists. - Mushroom toast: delicious and good portion size. Would recommend it as a shareable since it tastes the same after a few bites in. - Banter big breakfast: HUGE Service was fast and staff was quite nice. The cafe is snug and cozy. read more

This is my favorite kind of brunch place. Food is delicious, decor is welcoming, and service is solid. This place feels exactly like what you think of when you think of Chelsea and West Village. The smoked salmon on the salmon toast was some of the BEST I've ever had. Felt like I was eating out of the ocean so fresh. The eggs were super fluffy and cooked just right too. I felt full and healthy after this meal. Have been twice now and see myself going back. read more

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. read more

WOW. I stumbled upon this cute, brunch place and omg, it did not disappoint. To the cute exterior to awesome servers, Banter is def a place to check out! We got the chicken wrap, sweet Potatoe fries, and pesto sandwich. When I tell you this was the best wrap ever, I mean it. Not only did I feel comfortable eating it since it was healthier than your average wrap, the wrap and the side salad were delish! Love the flavor and texture of the dish. The fries were well-cooked but a bit soggy, and the sandwich was filled with flavor and toppings! Definitely have to come back for their coffee bar and spritz! A solid 4.7! read more

Loud, crowded tables - my avocado toast was a strange guacamole texture and tasteless. The food and quality was much better before it became popular. Won't be back sadly. read more

Quaint cafe serving up brunch and cocktails! Quickly accommodated and quite full during the brunch hours. I'm guessing everyone wants to get their brunch on. It's one of the few spots opened up early in the morning around 9AM so it has that advantage. We were strolling for brunch and Chelsea market shops, majority of them still closed around that time. Big breakfast packs the breakfast plate one is looking for if one wants everything from a breakfast savory plate for the morning. It has a lovely poached egg, bacon, toasted bread, mushrooms, half of an avocado, tomato slices and halloumi grilled cheese (my surprising newfound favorite of how cheese can be made for breakfast)! I adore the freshly squeezed juices (even green juices) and my customized Dirty Chai latte. Fried chicken sandwich with opted quinoa kale salad, was healthy and a clean eats kind of type of entree. The chicken was a bit too dry and on a bit of the fried burnt side. I would suggest some kind of side sauce maybe to go along with it or pickled servings to make the sandwich altogether more balanced. Salad was delicious! Had an outdoor seating here and it was nice to be outside if weather allows it. Service was very attentive here and they made their turns many times. Got all the basis covered, such as hostess and waiters. It was hassle free and clean healthy, eating here! read more

Banter is one of my favorite brunch spots in the city! They don't accept reservations which I personally enjoy - we were able to sit down immediately on a Saturday at 11am. Staff here is also lovely! Food and drinks here are both awesome. We got the smoked salmon toast and avocado toast. Smoked salmon toast comes with a lovely cheese spread, a sharper and more elevated nod to cream cheese. Avocado on the avocado toast was nice and fresh. Bread was delicious on both toasts. We also got the sweet potato fries which were cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and came with a great spicy dip. Homemade banana bread was moist and flavorful! read more

came here for brunch and got a table outside on a Monday. It was such a beautiful day today so it was really nice sitting outside. The two of us got the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the stuffed Nutella French toast. The fried chicken sandwich was so juicy and crispy- delicious. The sweet potato fries were soft and great as well!! I would really recommend it. The stuffed Nutella French toast is quite unique to Banter I would say and it came with two pieces with some fruit on the side. It was pretty sweet and tasty as well! Overall it was a really good experience and I would recommend coming here! read more

I love all of these Australian cafés that have been popping up in NYC in the recent years, and I finally got to enjoy a brunch at this spot over the past weekend. The interior is pretty small, as expected for a café, but they do have dividers between the indoor tables. They also have several outdoor tables for additional seating. My friends and I all ordered the Avocado Toast with Egg (+$3.50 supplemental charge), which tasted so delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted, and the café spread a good amount of avocado (unlike some places that skimp on the avocado) with a great mix of toppings.we also ordered a Nutella Stuffed French Toast for the table, which was the perfect sweet dish to end our meal. I liked that I could taste the Nutella without the dish tasting overly sweet. The granolas and fruit toppings go extremely well with the Nutella toast! For my drink, I ordered a Tangerine Ginger Tea, which was very soothing for a cold day out. Great service too! This café was definitely worth the visit for a nice brunch! read more
