I was in New York for Christmas and end of the year time with my family and my daughter Tell me about this place that some friends talk about and I said let’s go.. we went for breakfast and let me tell you this has been one of the best breakfast I ever had in my life. quality flavor presentation everything. This place is amazing, the atmosphere the vibe. It was awesome and I had a couple of words with Vittorio the manager and I tell him what a great place you guys have here excellent next time I pass by New York or Texas. Where is the other location for sure I’m gonna visit.

We had a wonderful time. The food was some of the best breakfast I have ever had. I recommend the plant powered big brekkie. The green tea was on point. Our server Desirea was so wonderful and kind to us. She hooked us up with a banana bread to go.

The food here looked amazing and tasted just as amazing as it looks. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and was seated immediately. Brian was an amazing server and he was very polite. He checked on me to see if I needed anything. I will definitely visit again when I’m back in the Big Apple!

Thanks Brian, the amazing staff, and definitely the cooks!

Had the banana bread French toast and it was amazing. We also ordered the fluffy juice and we were really impressed. Will definitely become my new breakfast spot.

Already our third visit and it never disappoints. The food is consistently great, the vibe is relaxed, and the service is always on point. Special thanks to our servers, Ken and Steven, genuinely warm, attentive, and always making us feel welcome. One of those places you just keep coming back to.

Update after our stay in New York: we ended up coming here four times in one week. Everything we said before still holds true. Thank you!

Booked brunch at 9 am and we got seated right away—no wait, which was awesome

The staff were super friendly
The food was fantastic 🙂

First off, the ingredients were so fresh and the sauce was insanely good.
The meat was so tender—it had such a great texture.

And the banana bread French toast!
I’d never tried it before, but this one is hands‑down the best French toast I’ve ever had You’ve got to try it.
The sweetness was just right—not too much 🙂 just perfect

Slightly interesting menu and nice welcoming cozy atmosphere but food was just ok tasting. The avocado toast, though it had he beetroot hummus, was nothing to write home about with not too much avocado and average flavor. Hummus didn’t add much and there wasn’t much of it. Bread was nicely chewy.
Also had avo Benny and banana bread French toast. All of these items are marked as favorites on the menu, but disappointed overall for that.
They were out of the Vegemite flight and cheddar biscuits at 9am on a Saturday

We loved the brunch. Our server Trish was incredible. She made the experience! Food was fantastic. The banana French toast was sweet but not to sweet, slightly bruleed, bbq eggs benny were a hit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 across the board

Citizens of Chelsea delivered one of the most memorable breakfasts I’ve had in New York. Arriving just after 7.30 a.m., I walked through the quiet charm of Chelsea Park and into a café that feels both local and welcoming. The early calm set the tone, but even as the pace picked up and the room filled quickly, the service never skipped a beat.

My server, Desiree, was exceptional — warm, attentive, and effortlessly managing a growing crowd with real New York confidence. The whole team handled the Sunday rush with ease, and the service remained impeccable from start to finish.

The food was outstanding. The American-style “biscuit” under my scrambled eggs was a revelation — buttery, crisp, and designed to soak up every flavour. Paired with those silky eggs, it was a perfect example of how simple dishes can shine when done well.

The ambience is classic Chelsea: relaxed, stylish, and full of neighbourhood character. You feel the café’s Australian roots in the friendliness and the Chelsea identity in the energy.

10 out of 10 for service, 10 out of 10 for food, and 10 out of 10 for ambience.
Well done, Citizens of Chelsea — you’ve set the benchmark.

Our food and coffee was very good. Brian was an incredible waiter. One of our side dishes was forgotten and they took the entire dish off of the bill. Would highly recommend.
