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