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.
Narayan VApril 14, 2017
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.
Michael KauffmanJune 15, 2016
Breakfast smash: avocado + feta mash, chili flakes, pepitas on hearty toast. Cold brew on the side. Yes.
Tessa DomzalskiNovember 25, 2015
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.
Dan SohaydaMarch 17, 2017
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.

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!

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.
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013
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.
Bayan BamukhayyarNovember 26, 2016
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.

The Smash is a must, the most amazing avocado toast I ever had & the most amazing coffee..!
Ivana KurtovićNovember 10, 2018

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.
Saumya SahniApril 28, 2019
Best Australian place for coffee. They make cortado if you ask them. They really know how to make it. Sweet Uncle fred and the smash.
Ben MackeyJanuary 31, 2015
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.
Tim LeeJuly 18, 2019
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!
The Corcoran GroupNovember 21, 2013
We love this cute new Midtown East coffee shop - great service, and they make a mean latte.
PureWowAugust 4, 2016
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

One of the best spots in nyc for breakfast/brunch, crowded but worth the wait!
Julia MontiOctober 20, 2015
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.
Meg FarmerApril 28, 2015
A true win in midtown. Lovely cafe with great food and friendly service. Avocado smash is delish. Go for a morning run in the park and grab bfast w/a friend here after.

I'm a coffee freak and this place is a no brainier. Such a great flat white and avocado smash. The vibes and the staff are very active. This place will make u addictive
Leo SumulongJanuary 20, 2015
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.
Venera VarbanovaOctober 29, 2014
I adore this place. Just going there makes me feel right, no matter how bad of a day I am having. The coffee is just great. Highly recommended. My favorite: flat white to stay.
Amina HussainAugust 30, 2014
Great australian coffee, wonderful customer service. Try the avocado smash and throw and egg on it!
Amy GraffAugust 15, 2018
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.
Heba AbdellaNovember 15, 2014
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
Gus BorrmannSeptember 19, 2015
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.
PeggyMarch 2, 2019
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.
M WJuly 21, 2015
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!

If you are in the neighborhood, LITTLE COLLINS is a must do for a healthy and tasty breakfast.Excellent coffee and pastries!
William HFebruary 2, 2019
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.
Dan HolmJune 13, 2015
Fantastic little coffee shop with nice staff, clean bathroom, great coffee and the coolest espresso machine I've ever encountered
Lisa JettSeptember 24, 2014
Outstanding coffee choices like pour overs. No decaf though. Excellent breakfast sandwiches on fresh, awesome rolls. Free water- wahoo!

This is my favorite coffee place. The iced latte is like a party in my mouth. The chicken schnitzel and the other sandwiches are all amazing and tasty.
Michelle KwanJuly 13, 2013
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.
Sean FlemingOctober 1, 2014
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+
M TOctober 10, 2014
Milk and cookies are the best, gyro and turkey confit yum, and topped with a coffee drink because they're all amazing.

Best mocha I've had in be city! And their complimentary hazelnut cookie served when you dine-in is worth sitting yourself down to truly enjoy your beverage!
