Named for a Melbourne street, Little Collins offers breakfast options, sandwiches, a few salads, and excellent coffee. It can be tough to land a seat in this tiny cafe — there are only around 14 — which might be why it feels like staff are endlessly calling out names for takeout orders. Little Collins also has a coffee-and-pastry-only outpost at the nearby Lexington 570 food hall.

This charming corner restaurant on Ninth Avenue fills up quickly with brunch-goers on weekends, but is worth waiting for a table. The restaurant is a favorite of Instagrammers, with its plant-heavy decor and neon sign that somewhat bewilderingly reads “home for the holidays.” For those planning a brunch on the boozier side, Citizens of Chelsea also serves mimosas by the carafe.

This rapidly expanding mini chain — it got investment from the firm that also put money into Momofuku — hits all the key Australian cafe notes: smashed avocado toast, ricotta hotcakes, flat whites, a menu with the word “brekkie” on it. Bluestone has five full-service cafes in the city serving brunch and lunch, plus 11 more pared-back coffee shops that focus on just drinks and avocado toast.

Ruby’s serves an all-day breakfast menu in Nolita, but it’s better known for its burgers. Most are named for a beach in Sydney and include additions like pineapple and beet. The bright cafe also offers pastas, salads, and grain bowls, and has a second location in Murray Hill.

Charley St. in Nolita lies halfway between the sit-down nature of most Australian cafes and the fast-casual spots like Dig Inn and Sweetgreen that dot Manhattan’s grid. The simple counter-service menu is focused on toast and grain bowls, but it should be noted: This is not the place to linger over a long breakfast.

Toby’s Estate was at the forefront of the Australian cafe-onslaught when it opened in Williamsburg in 2012. The arrival of the mega-popular Australian coffee brand brought joy to expats and locals alike, setting up a robust roasting operation that has spawned four more locations across the city. It can be difficult to score a seat; this location in particular is filled with laptop squatters.

While the original Two Hands in Nolita continues to be a hip brunch mainstay in the neighborhood, the cafe’s Tribeca location has a slightly expanded menu and a less cramped dining room. This includes ricotta hotcakes, smashed avocado, and the hefty burger made “Australian” by the addition of a fried egg.

Otherwise known as the “pink Bushwick restaurant,” Carthage Must Be Destroyed has made more headlines for its Pantone-esque decor than its food. That’s a shame, because Carthage is turning out quality coffee and gargantuan portions on dishes like heirloom tomatoes on toast and parmesan-scrambled eggs, as well as those lesser-seen in Australian cafes, such as yellow fish curry.

Quite possibly the best cafe in the Financial District, Black Fox rotates a small breakfast and lunch menu seasonally, and serves pastries from King Street Kitchen (a fellow Australian-owned bakery). Beyond a robust coffee offering that includes monthly featured roasts, the cafe prepares seasonal and specialty drinks, from a strawberry latte for Valentine’s Day to a brown butter-steeped cold brew milk shake in the summer. Don’t skip out on the enormous chocolate chip cookies either — they’re some of the best in NYC.
