    An Australian coffee oasis amidst the midtown culinary desert. Get a flat white and avocado toast with pumpkin seeds and pepper.

    The best coffee and bites in Midtown, dare I say it Manhattan. Go for a capp (full-fat, live a little) pair it with a PBJ, make your friend order the Avacado Smash. Perfect mix of sweet and savory.

    A little taste of Melbourne in the heart of New York City. Great coffee (made the way it should be!) and classic Australian food to match. Can't go wrong with Vegemite on toast!

    They serve counter culture beans! Great pour-over. My past go to place when I worked nearby. The staffs become your friends when you're a regular. Crowded at lunch but the lunch food is great too.

    The food is great here! I got avocado toast and my sister got Spanish omelette and both are delicious. Coffee is good too. Will come back and absolutely recommend.

    1st of the now many Aussie coffee houses that pairs amazing espresso drinks with great food that goes beyond just your typical pastries. The "Little Collins st" sign was given by the Melbourne mayor!

    Avocado smash is delicious , good quality avocado and fresh. Cheese not overpowering and chili flakes give it a nice kick. Oh and peppy as excellent crunch Nothing left on plate.

    Unique selections, great coffee and good ambience in general❤️ such a tiny place but worth it. Their macchiato with the PBJ toast is the best combination ❤️

    Best flat white you’ll get in NYC. Makes me miss my life in Sydney where I was surrounded by amazing coffee.

    A great little coffee bar with very good breakfast and lunch options. The flat white is really good and can confirm all other reviews - The avocado-feta sandwich is awesome.

    Breakfast smash: avocado + feta mash, chili flakes, pepitas on hearty toast. Cold brew on the side. Yes.

    The Sweet Uncle Fred, get it. The combination of banana bread, ricotta, honey, and berries is heavenly. They make a great flat white too, much better than your average coffee.

    The most delicious coffee I've ever had. Don't be fooled by the smaller sizes- the coffee is strong! The avo toast is also worth a mention- especially with an egg on top.

    Amazing breakfast spot. Smashed avocado toast with feta cheese and poached eggs & a pour over were top notch! Tough to get a seat, but worth the wait. Super friendly staff make it a great place to be.

    A must for breakfast takeout. Grabbing a table is impossible. The "Pick Me Up" is my goto breakfast sandwich. But add the "Sweet Uncle Fred" to whatever you order...it will make your day.

    I loved how small but also how astonishing everything was. Starting from the barista looks and attitude to the plates presentation and in the top of all the hight quality of there coffee.

    Little Collins Café not only serves up coffee of a quality that is hard to match elsewhere in New York, but also pairs the liquid delights with outstanding Aussie café culture inspired dishes.

    A midtown treat, Collins hand crafts delicious espresso drinks and pour over coffee. There is also a kitchen providing unique sandwich & salad options; I recommend the roast chicken with a cold brew!

    What to Order: A piccolo latte, a traditional Australian drink with a double shot of espresso and a small amount of steamed milk. It’s similar to a cortado.

    This is the best Australian specialty coffee in NYC hands down! Try their PB&J toast and avocado toast too! Staff are very friendly and skilled despite crazy crowds around 2pm.

    Solid addition to Midtown with great coffee, great food and great snacks. The Smash (avocado, feta, chillis, pepitas on toast) is a brekky fave! Go here for a work break coffee or post-MoMA.

    This place is tiny, but serve a mean flat white and have a great Aussie cafe menu. The Sweet Uncle Fred (banana bread with ricotta and berries) was excellent.

    Serving Counter Culture, cool vibe and the pour over is on point. A bit crowded at times but if you can get a spot or need something to go...

    Avocado toast ftw!! Properly brewed coffee is refreshing. They brew counter culture coffee, an excellent roaster that is hard to find in ny. Try the Idido if the have it - herbal and floral!

    This Aussie spot is known mostly for its flat whites and avo toast, but give the iced latte a chance, too. It’s smooth with just the right amount of milk. Read more

    My go-to coffee spot for catching up with an old friend. Delicious coffee and friendly staff. It feels like you've escaped the midtown craze and traveled to London for a brief moment.

    Probably the best little coffee shop in Midtown. It gets crowded pretty quickly. Go to the bar and admire their brewing setup after you order your coffee, it's integrated into the counter.

    Sydney in Manhattan! One of the only proper flat whites I've found in the US. Great espresso, cute Australian staff, and great lookin' breakfast and lunch bites.

    Food is fresh and tasty. Most of the sandwiches include eggs so you'd need to them to enjoy the food. Nice vibe and pleasant atmosphere. Place is cozy so shouldn't be a big group going

    Avocado Benedict - either Bacon or Salmon - is to die for. You can have a hard time looking for a table or a space in the counter though.

    My flat white and olive oil spice cake were both great. Pretty crowded and hard to guarantee finding a seat even during a weekday midday though.

    Probably the best coffee in Manhattan. They know how to make a great espresso and flat white. Not for when you're in a rush, better to savour the taste!

    The coffee's great but finding a table on the weekend is tougher than making it to the mainland from Manus Island. Get drinks here, food elsewhere.

    Get the olive oil cake! It's perfect - crunchy top and delicious, moist, flavourful cake. Or the banana bread, you really can't go wrong. Super friendly service as well.

    The iced coffee is strong, smooth and just ever so slightly sweet. (I drink my coffee black). comes in one size which is probably a medium in most places. And the straw is solid. A+

    Milk and cookies are the best, gyro and turkey confit yum, and topped with a coffee drink because they're all amazing.
