Banter

One of my favorite Greenwich Village Brunch Spots! It's cute, cozy and delicious food at a reasonable price! It's typically packed, so ensure your group arrives together or you might not find a seat unless everyone arrives!They have outdoor and indoor seating perfect for spring and summer!As far as I recall they don't take reservations so you have to walk in!

During a recent trip to NYC, we were delighted to be recommended this charming spot for breakfast--and it did not disappoint! This cozy, hygge-inspired café was the perfect place for a late morning meal. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff and seated at a quaint little table.We took our time exploring the menu, brimming with intriguing "Brekkie" options. Ultimately, we opted for the classic Two Eggs Any Style and the Bacon & Egg Roll--a hearty sandwich packed with fried egg, crispy bacon, pickled onions, tomato jam, and garlic aioli, all nestled in a fresh ciabatta roll. There was even an option to add mashed avocado, which sounded tempting, but the sandwich was already so generously filled! Honestly, it was so substantial that it could have easily been shared.To accompany our meal, we ordered lattes that arrived beautifully adorned with intricate latte art. The atmosphere was made even more inviting by the walls adorned with paintings by local artists, a thoughtful touch that showcased and supported the creative community.Outside, a well-shaded seating area offered plenty of space to enjoy a leisurely breakfast without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and savor your morning. We'll definitely be returning the next time we're in NYC!

My boyfriend and I joined their waitlist around 40 min before we arrived. We checked in with the host when we arrived, waited a little, and got seated in around 5 min even though it was technically not our turn yet according to the waitlist. The restaurant actually had a few empty tables so the wait was not actually as long as the waitlist estimated.My boyfriend got their two egg any style brekkie with a side of bacon and avocado and I got the banter big breakfast. I really liked the big breakfast! It had a little bit of everything and they all tasted really well. The big breakfast came with tomato jam which sounded really weird to me at the beginning but it ended up being my favorite part of the dish. It tasted like a spicy salsa with a little bit of sweetness and it went really well with everything. Highly recommend this place and I'll definitely come back in the future! Don't let the waitlist line scare you! I don't think it is as bad as it seems!

Cute small eatery, flavorful bowl and great ambiance! Does get a bit crowded but was able to grab a table

I put down my name for a table for 2 around 12:45PM on a Saturday and that wait was about 1 hr for indoor seating! It was hot outside so indoors was perfect and cool. Staff was really friendly. My friend and I ordered the sweet potato fries (10/10 super fluffy inside and a nice crisp outside) and then I got the falafel bowl on the server's recommendation (9.5/10 just cause I wasn't a huge fan of the whipped feta) and my friend got the banter bowl with smoked salmon that she really enjoyed! I would 100% come back here!

The best sweet potato fries are here!!! I'm in love. I already have a spot for best french fries but Banter takes the crown for the sweet potato ones. The beautiful scrambled eggs are as delicious as they look. The huge bowl I ordered was breakfast and lunch all in for me -- very filling. Watermelon juice hits the spot.Everything is A+ including the service.I guess the wait can be annoying but worth it.

Banter is a great neighborhood breakfast option. The staff is super friendly, quick to greet and even laugh at my bad jokes. The vibes are good too - the music is relaxed, plenty of natural light, nice art on the walls. The food is both very appetizing looking and very tasty. Simple but good and done well. My cortado was a 10, a really nice espresso shot cut with just the right dash of milk and foam. The Nutella French Toast is rich and delicious without being too sweet. The berries and banana are fresh and perfectly ripe and the strawberries just macerated enough. The toasted oat gives a nice crunch and savory touch.

This 5 star rating is long over due.Banter is the spot. It hits the spot and it IS the SPOT. Consistently delicious, savory food. Incredibly kind and efficient service. Food is always fresh and hot. Always a treat!

Hubs and I came here for breakfast and we shared:+ Fresh Start Juice (which was not shared): the ginger provided a nice kick which I needed for being sick.+ the Nutella Stuffed French Toast+ Golden Fold Eggs with a side of Toast: beautiful presentation and nice soft scrambled egg.I'll admit I was a little under the weather on the day we came so I wasn't cheerful at all. I was a little disappointed in the French Toast as it hardly had any Nutella in it (should not call it a "stuffed" french toast). It's very light and tasted like a normal french toast. Nothing out of this world. The restaurant indoor is quite small and the staff was quite chill. All in all, it made for a pleasant breakfast.

Banter is a gem!! After a long week of travel throughout NYC, my family and I brunched here on our last day. We got there at 8ish and it was nice and empty and quiet-- a great change of pace. This was also the best brunch/breakfast we had that trip (and we had a lot of brunch). I recommend the Golden Folded Eggs, they are cooked to fluffy perfection. And DONT SKIP OUT ON THEIR SOURDOUGH TOAST!! It taste so fresh and crusty and moist. LOVE! On top of this, their coffee is to daiiii for! Cappuccino is my go-to order. I wish we had Banters in Los Angeles
