Banter West Village

A small, popular cozy café serving locals & visitors alike, health conscious Australian inspired dishes that are bound to please ... for those who love that type of food. I loved their lemon apple ginger beverage called Fresh Start Juice, and their Falafel Bowl was really nice! 👍👍 There is both indoor & outdoor seating, and the service was prompt, polite ... and friendly. 👍

After knowing they are doing $1 pastry promotion in March. We decided to give it a try for a brunch, since we loved their pastries which are supplied by Balthazar. It was a pretty good experience, friendly staffs and easy to get our table for two without wait. I would rate them a 5 star for a brunch experience, if they could have had free refill coffee…well, just like any other local diners. Lastly, restroom’s hygiene is to be improved.

Came here for a quick bite and it was good. All the sourdough items were over so could not order my fav but my secondary options did not disappoint

I had a truly disappointing experience at this brunch spot. First of all, the service was shockingly rude. We were practically pushed out into the pouring rain without even a moment's grace to wait for our cab under cover. To make matters worse, they had the audacity to suggest a minimum tip of 20%, which I found ridiculous given the quality of service we received. The seating was incredibly cramped, making it uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. As for the coffee, it was over-extracted, resulting in a bitter, undrinkable brew. Latte art was good. Food was nothing more than mediocre. Given the low quality of coffee, giving 2 stars, otherwise 3 stars. Save yourself the trouble and explore other dining options nearby; there are plenty of better choices in the area.

Hot neighborhood brunch spot, no reservation, all party must be there to be seated, long wait. Good cocktail, ok food for hangovers.
