The Grey Dog - Chelsea - New York

DΛVΞ G.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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).

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.
