“ Came here since I've heard great things about this place for a while now, and was in the area! Only waited about 20 minutes on Sunday for brunch, and we ordered the wild mushroom toast and pomodoro baked eggs. Both dishes were very heart and delicious, and surprisingly filling. I was happy that the food tastes quite healthy and not too heavy - one recommendation in the future is to get bacon with some of the dishes for extra flavor! ”
“ Was in NY for a week on a business trip and found this place. I'm glad I did. It was delicious! The Brekkie Roll was my favorite of the 2 dishes because I'm a sucker for a brioche bun but overall it was just a great experience. Staff was friendly and all had Australian accents which was a nice switch up. It is a hole in the wall so not a ton of seating inside and it was cold the week I visited but it looks like they have a decent amount of seating outside when it warms up. It's a very modern, minimalistic, restaurant with potted plants to warm up the ambiance. But the people make it what it is. Grateful to have found it and excited to revisit in the future. Thanks Hole in the Wall for enhancing my first NY Experience ”
“ On a 30 degree day there is nothing more satisfying than a hot plate of food. Not only did this place deliver that but it was delicious. I have never thought to put kimchi with my breakfast but this is genius. The blend of spicy acidity with the rich fluffy omelette is mind blowing. I added some bacon and avocado just because I was starving. The hash browns are yummy, buttery and filling. It only took a little wait to be seated and they had a cozy vibe in there. Friendly and fast service with good espresso drinks. I have def saved this as a great breakfast spot in NY. ”
“ A great lunch spot hidden in the nooks and crannies of FiDi, this place is literally a hole in the wall. ****WALK INS ONLY at the financial district location**** Came here at 12PM on the dot and there was already a 20 minute wait. The service was great and the food was VERY good. I got the power bowl with fried chicken and was pleasantly surprised as to how filling it was and how well all the ingredients combined together. ”
“ My friend and I stopped by after running some errands but didn't have a reservation. We waited for about 30 minutes outside which was brutal considering it was so cold out. The inside of the restaurant is tiny so no room to wait inside. By the time we were seated we were starving. We ordered a chai latte and Nutella mocha to warm us up, both of which were so good. We both had the pomodoro baked eggs with a side of avocado and the strawberry cheesecake waffles to split. The baked eggs were absolutely delicious, 10/10. The dish was very hearty and comforting, the feta added the perfect tang, and the garlic bread served on the side was divine. We could've done without the waffles as we were so full and the waffles were way too sweet. The waffle itself was a sugar waffle and then came with additional sweet toppings. It's good for a couple bites and definitely to share but would be too much for an entree. I would come back just for those baked eggs but the only downside is I left the restaurant smelling of food. The smell was pretty overwhelming and my guess is because the restaurant is so small. Overall we enjoyed our meal. ”
“ Great cafe that serves a tasty Australian-style brunch. Service is very friendly. The wait times can sometimes be long but worthwhile. Outdoor seating is lovely at most times of the year and there is good shade coverage. The scrambled eggs and smoothies are always a solid choice. ”
“ Came here for breakfast on a whim. We were just strolling around and came upon this place. One can almost pass this place because the entrance was so small. The hostess stand was outside, that's how small this place was. The hostess was attentive and came quickly to seat us. She was also our server. Here's what we ordered: - Pulled pork benedict : slow braised pork, poached eggs, hollandaise, chili threads, fried parsley on sourdough - Brekkie roll: toasted brioche bun, scrambled egg, smoked bacon, (no cheddar cheese on mine) hash brown, special sauce, side salad I'll tell you this: breakfast held us down for HOURS. We didn't have to eat again until dinner! The service was quick, wait time was reasonable, music was great (a lot of Elton John and Billy Joel), and paying was a through a QR code on the table. (It had auto-gratuity) Highly recommend! ”
“ Hole In The Wall is the perfect name for this spot -- it truly is a hidden gem I wasn't expecting to be this good! I had breakfast here with a friend and we both loved it. I ordered the mushroom toast with avocado, and it might just be one of the best toasts I've had in ages. At $20 with the avocado add-on, it's not cheap, but hey, it's NYC, and it was so yummy. My friend ordered the kimchi scramble and she couldn't stop raving about it. The iced coffee was really good -- one of the best I've had recently -- but the orange juice, which they said was fresh, didn't quite hit the mark for me (though they did mention they don't squeeze the oranges onsite, so it was sort of on me). Our server was wonderful, really kind and attentive. They have outdoor tables which are great for warmer days. ”
“ Ate here 1/2 way through our trip. Great patio spot on a Saturday. My wife had avocado toast and I had the burrito. Both were good, but nothing memorable. We ate the Pearl Street Dinner (a really rough looking diner) today and it was $35 for two of us which beats our bill at the "Hole in the Wall" which was $80 for 1/2 the food. You are paying for atmosphere. The hash browns were really good, but obviously came from a box. ”
“ My group and I come here walk in often now after yoga and they're also dog friendly and the sun just feels so good here in the summer since they have umbrellas and ample shade. The host is absolutely a fun time and really reminds me of your typical Aussie cafe and i really appreciate the vibes brought here! I have been to so many aussie brunch spots and they do it so well and super friendly here! The walk in wait time always varies between 5-20 minutes... he did say 20 minutes for us but he moves on quickly if you don't hear your name he will move on to the next one so our 20 minutes became 10 minutes. When we got seated one look at the menu and I see Aussie Iced Coffees! This is a godsend for the aussie transplants in NYC since most places don't serve this- and this is pretty much a scoop of ice cream over a iced coffee. They're super tasty and have chocolate powder on top as well. My friend's fave though is their espresso peanut butter smoothie, that one was a super huge hit and now a regular favorite. Everytime I come here I always order the same thing surprisingly I order the Spring Chicken Salad, and this was SO good i usually don't like chicken on salad but this one is crispy and juicy and everything good i need. I don't know if i'll ever move on to another dish because this one is just so good to me. Low carb and everything. My friends have ordered the breakfast burrito, kimchi scramble, & the pomodoro baked eggs. All were tasty and we always had a good time here drinking away in coffee and eating yummy food after our yoga classes, it definitely became a staple to our every week. I can proudly say I am now a regular. ”
