★★★★★ We had a fantastic lunch at The Grey Dog Café on West 16th Street! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family—so warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food was absolutely terrific, with fresh flavors and great portions. The cozy atmosphere made it even better. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic place for brunch in Chelsea. The staff is very friendly and efficient, even if the place gets crowded. The food service is very quick too. The atmosphere inside is nice and cozy. It's brilliant for having a nice meal with friends and family. There's music inside, so maybe not the best place for quiet conversations. We ordered the burger, Mexican bowl, avocado toast and fried chicken with pancakes. The food was delicious, especially the oatmeal pancakes and Mexican bowl. The drinks were really refreshing, especially on a hot day. Have absolutely no issues recommending this place.

Had breakfast here with a friend and we absolutely loved it! The place has the cutest doggy vibes—super cozy and welcoming. The coffee was yummmm and honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while. Our breakfast was also delicious. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

Had reservations here for brunch, and really enjoyed it.... the food was plentiful, and was really good! The place itself it relatively small, so i think reservations are recommended - but i dont think they are required.. Prices were average (for NYC)... would go back again, and recommend to others - its a nice lil place in Chelsea!

This place had such a fun and cafe-like comforting vibe! Our waitress was great and very helpful. I liked the brunch options as they have a good amount of options. We got the hibiscus mimosa and Bloody Mary to drink - both made well and yummy. To eat we got the chilaquiles and egg croissant sandwich. Nice portions and good flavors. I couldn’t finish my meal and I liked how the chilaquiles came with chorizo with a nice twist in presentation as well.

CHELSEA, NY - This is always our go-to breakfast spot! The service is spot on, and it's one of the trendiest cafes in the neighborhood. . The ambiance is quite nice, especially with the dog-themed décor. Local artists have their dog paintings adorning the walls, which adds a boho touch. The rustic and warm atmosphere makes it perfect for a nice chat, whether you’re catching up with a friend or sharing a special moment with someone. . As for the service, friendly and attentive. . Now, let's talk food. Try the 1/2 lb Big House Burger with cheddar cheese, with a side of caramelized onions or tossed salad, or the crispy Julienne fries with bacon. The burgers are delicious and cooked just right (or as you would like it to be). For drinks, try the refreshing peach mango fizz that is perfectly balanced — not too sweet at all. . Other great dishes are the nachos, wings, and French toast. The buffalo sauce is cooked right into the wings instead of just slathered on top, making them nice and crispy. The French toast have the perfect texture — just the right balance of soft and firm. . If I'm back in the area, you can bet I’ll swing by for breakfast, lunch or weekend brunch!

I stopped by the Grey Dog for a quick breakfast and coffee with a friend while in NY. It was nice and relaxing with decent food and coffee. Here are some takeaways: Environment I arrived right when the restaurant was opening, so it was fairly empty. The place has a rustic, neighborhood vibe with plenty of seating both inside and outside. I chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. The atmosphere was very relaxing and chill, which was exactly what I needed for an early morning. Service I was the first person to be served as they opened up and they made sure I felt welcome and that I was served. They were great and made sure I had everything I needed in a timely fashion. My food and coffee were delivered promptly. The service was great. Food and drinks I had pancakes, eggs, and a mocha. The eggs were okay, but the pancakes were a bit dry, so I wouldn't order them again. The mocha was solid and met my expectations, but nothing extraordinary. Overall My experience at the Grey Dog was fine, offering a solid mocha and some decent food. It was wonderful to arrive first thing in the morning when it was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.

Went there for brunch and overall very satisfied. Food was overall very good, except for the pancakes, which tasted very weird/unusual… not sure what they added 🧐. We say outside and the tables seemed a little bit damaged — not sure if it was on purpose (a “style”…) though. Service was totally fine.

Delicious food, and the best fake eggs I've ever had. Love the space. One small issue is the varnish on the tables makes them feel sticky even when clean. Otherwise I loved the place and I'll definitely be back.

Great Dog Chelsea is an amazing spot for happy hour! Their selection of coffee drinks and lattes is unbeatable, and they have some of the best deals in the city during happy hour. I especially love their craft beers for just $4 each—it's crazy, especially for New York! They also offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, including fresh salads and the millennial classic - avocado toast topped with a poached egg (don't judge, please, haha). The service here is always excellent and make sure they give you an experience you will want to come back for. Whether you're looking for a great cup of coffee or a fun happy hour spot, Great Dog Chelsea has you covered. Highly recommend stopping by for some of the best deals in town!

Went here with my friend and loved the drinks and atmosphere! I got the seasonal pumpkin espresso martini which was lovely :)) It tasted so smooth and I got a happy buzz. My friend ordered the happy hour marg. It was strong and tasted good with a salt rim. The staff was all so sweet and very friendly. Love the halloween decorations too, cozy and cute! My friend and I were technically here to catch up and get some work done and they didn’t mind that which was so sweet. Also the bathroom was very clean and they had a great playlist (mix of pop music now/throwback and latin music).

During my last visit to NYC, I visited The Grey Dog twice. Friendly service and good quality food, can't really go too far wrong. Would recommend the Grey Dog's breakfast if you are feeling hungry.
