Mimi WAugust 3, 2014Very friendly staff. Cute place. Love that the chai tea latte is not too sweet. Fish in the fish tacos are too battered.
One of the coolest, coziest vibes of any NYC breakfast spots. Love the "order then sit" style
Kurkina AnnaApril 7, 2016Excellent place for a group hangout as well as just to have a contemplative glass of wine
Wejdan ✨October 11, 2015Salmon, avocado and poached egg is amazing. Comes with pita bread on a side.
Peter LeeDecember 7, 2014Brie and apple sandwich on sourdough with raspberry mustard. Plus a country salad. So good.
DavidOctober 9, 2017Always so solid. Food is very consistently good. Love the ambience. Sometime the service is lacking.
Francesc ZacariasJuly 5, 2016They advertise "gluten free" options yet all of them are contaminated in their kitchen since they mix everything and the staff is basically clueless about the subject.
Arnaud RéautéOctober 30, 2015Great ambiance, great sandwiches et voluminous dessert for a not cheap but decent price.
Awesome coffee! And a great place to just hang out. Yummy sandwiches and snacks.
Brett GibsonJune 20, 2016I love this place- everything is great ESPECIALLY the Cuban sandwich press!!
Grey Dog is the best place in the neighborhood to eat or grab coffee. Great food, cool staff, and they manage the tables well so half of them aren't filled with people working on their resumes.
Contrary to a few reviews, we do not have free wi-fi at Grey Dog. But there are free unlimited refills on brewed coffee!
Victoria CrossNovember 1, 2016Better veggie options now but they need to add more vegetables to the quinoa. It was mostly quinoa. Veggie burger needs work!
Turkey burger is my jam!!! Finish it off with a yummy brownie and a giant cappuccino!! Really great spot meet...and chat...and eat with friends :)
Love the Bay Area vibe. Window nook seating = best seats in the house!
Christopher BianJanuary 10, 2013To upgrade from chips with your sandwich to fries is only $1 -- totally worth those amazing sweet potato fries!!!
Recommend the breakfast egg and sausage sandwich. It's large enough to share with two people
New York has so many great brunch places and this one is probably among the bests.- Staff always has the best headgear! Great hats and scarves and the breakfast quesadilla is tasty too!
Alexander GaltsowOctober 3, 2016Grey Dog's Breakfast is certainly one of the best breakfasts served to me in the US
- Best time to come on the weekends is 9am. Strollers have largely cleared out and the NYU kids are still in bed.
Margot SilversteinJuly 17, 2014Your tips at the counter do not go to the guys who bring you your food and clean up!! Don't forget to tip them :)
PercolateApril 14, 2012Inevitably you need to meet someone at Union Square for breakfast. This is a pretty good move. Make sure you snag a seat before you order so as not to get stuck eating standing up.- No longer serving gluten free pancakes even though it's still on the menu 😡😡
Anu JayasingheDecember 19, 2015Great place to meet and have a conversation. No WiFi and no laptops allowed :)
Emily VenableMarch 13, 2012This place has the nicest staff I've ever dealt with in NYC. Amazing food, too! Get the #6!!!
Mike O'SullivanMay 19, 2015if you're hungry, the yogurt parfait is a good, healthy option with a large serving size.
Mark KupasrimonkolMarch 23, 2015If you're going to eat one thing all day, get the breakfast quesadilla with bacon.- Sam BrownSeptember 21, 2011Can't recommend the Pulled Pork Wrap enough. $10's buys you a mountain of pork with homemade apple slaw, chips and pickles. Nom it.
Amazing lunch spot off of Union Square. Get the tuna and avocado tacos or any of the pressed sandwiches.
RinaJuly 28, 2012Super friendly/really good looking (all male) staff! Sweet baby jesus. Oh, get here early bc it gets pretty packed.
Kate LordJune 19, 2013Most amazing seared ahi tuna salad I've ever had! You can't go wrong here though.
Many gluten free options including delicious berry muffins!
Ricky SherrillFebruary 1, 2015Great for breakfast. You can go healthy or not. They have you covered for both.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertJanuary 30, 2018I could come back to this place over and over again. It‘s got a ton of charm.
- Avi MuchnickOctober 27, 2011Eating alone? No problem. Ask the barista to borrow a complimentary book from their stocked library of NY Times Best Sellers.
this is where you'd interview terence mckenna if given that glorious opportunity.
