I’ve loved the exterior structure and long life of the building housing the cafe, built in 1831-1832. Be sure to read the plaque and date marker on the S side of the building. I’ve admired it for many years but was always hurriedly going somewhere. Finally, I had time to eat here, had a great breakfast here with my wife. Enjoyed Le Omellette and a Mocha. Highly recommend.

Outdoor dining they (my friends) said, it would be great they said. So we did. And the weather was conducive for outdoor dining on a perfect Sunday autumn afternoon. Unfortunately our Sunday brunch was marred by one issue – the potent aroma of urine that wafted across our table every now and then was enough to spoil an otherwise enjoyable meal. Jokes aside, what would you expect from a 9th Ave Chelsea restaurant with limited indoor seating. With regards to food, we ordered:
Nutella Banana Crepe – was delicious, you can’t go wrong with crepes sucres for brunch
Croque Madame – bread was cut too thick and the salad greens were slightly old
Spaghetti Bolognaise – wasn’t very authentic, but that’s fine for a French Bistro; the positive is that it was a very comforting, delicious dish
Escargot – was gloriously buttery and rich, and the server was happy to throw in extra slices of bread to soak up all that goodness
Jambon Beurre (Ham and Butter on a baguette) – was simple, well execute, just as you would find at a Parisian cafe
Overall, a positive experience – but would aim to be seated either indoors or at an outdoor table against the storefront window next time.

This cafe is a creperie in disguise. If you like skinny pancakes served in a European setting with European style, look no further. The place feels like a Parisian cafe to a point, but it won’t disappoint those looking for a sweet treat as well as those in search for a more savory affair. From the outdoor seating to the indoor ambiance the place is inviting, casual and warm. The service is friendly and the food tasty and wonderfully presented.

Came here around 10:30am on a Saturday and didn’t have to wait to get seated. The vibe of the place was casual Parisian cafe and the decor was very fitting. We tried the crepes with goat cheese and leek and I highly recommend them. We also got the baguette to share, which was also amazing!

When I lived in NYC this was my go to place for brunch on the weekends or after an all nighter shift at the hospital. So, now that I’m no longer live there. Had to pop in for breakfast my first stop back. Chef (J) was on point and the food was amazing per usual.
Server could have been a little bit more pleasant
However, if you’re ever in the area go and enjoy so fresh delicious food and a nice big latte.

Such a beautiful little spot in Chelsea. I grabbed a late breakfast here and I’m not sure if it was the rainy weather, or the food, or the beautiful tricycle with flowers in the basket parked out front, or simply the company I had…but my experience was one to remember. Such a romantic French cafe and the food was undoubtedly French in every way. The French toast was fantastic, the citrus on the plate really adds to the dish. We also split a Croque Madame which was equally as delicious.
Highly recommended!

I am currently on a jag with French cafes and Grainne Café helped quench my hunger. It really has a cafe feel and is right in the middle of Chelsea. The food hits the spot. I ordered the homemade sausage and enjoyed every bite. And the bread so delish. It has outside seating which can get hot on a summer day. The inside feels somewhat worn but overall I enjoyed my visit.

Solid French brunch. Savory crepe (chose a build-your-own) hit the spot.
My fiancée’s egg white omelette was too oily / buttery, but the server graciously swapped out her food for some poached eggs and shredded chicken that she enjoyed.
4/5 only because so many other good restaurants raise the bar, but a good neighborhood spot and great service.

Cute atmosphere and the food was simple and delicious. The crepe was huge and I had enough that I will be able to take it for lunch on Monday. The chocolate croissant was also the perfect way to end the meal.
Additionally, the manager/owner allowed an unhoused individual to sit in the outdoor seating section to eat their meal (that they didn’t purchase at the restaurant) and brought even brought them ice water. I was always planning to come back but after seeing how compassionate the owner was I will definitely be back to support this business. I can’t recommend this business any more!

This sweet spot was the highlight of a Chelsea birthday getaway. The city, and Chelsea in particular, offers many splendors that will steal your heart, but Le Grainne Cafe is that perfect mixture of “quaint” and “exceptional.” The perfect spot for a Sunday breakfast, this cozy café will treat you to a perfectly crispy croque madame and the best French onion soup out of France itself that you will be able to find. The cherry on top of my experience was the manager, Danielle, who was inviting when I called in for a last minute reservation, and greeted my husband and I like family when we arrived. If the well-made culinary selections don’t convince you to book a reservation immediately, then at least do yourself a favor and make a reservation simply for the customer service that Danielle and her incredible team provide. And don’t pass up on the French onion soup, even if you think your other dishes will suffice.
