Tucked into this cozy spot you’ll always find monumental service and atmosphere with quality food to match. Get amongst the brisket and omelette sandwich - you’ll instantly become a regular.

Been here quite a few times, and their bagels are phenomenal! I always end up getting the halloumi melt on an everything bagel, and a peanut butter hot chocolate for dessert, and it's always top notch! Grabbed a blueberry bagel with lemon vanilla schmear today, too, and yum.
Also, the guy who served us our food today was so upbeat and lovely! I overheard saying he was quite new there, and I believe his accent was from New Zealand - he deserves a compliment for sure! :)
On a trip to the AO Tennis we stopped here for brunch. It is just off Flinders Street close to Russell Street. We have been to NYC a few times and usually go to Pastrami Queen for our 'pastrami fix'. This Australian version does a good job with their slow cooked beef brisket pastrami. Here there is more room to enjoy your food with seating at benches and tables inside and outside. My pastrami bagel was generous and it tasted (was chewy) like the bagel was inhouse made rather than a commercial variety. The coffee was good and the service friendly and efficient. The only slight negative was the pastrami was quite thickly cut and i'd prefer the more wafer thin (but plentiful in number) slices that the Americans use.
Best pastrami sandwich in Melbourne by a long way. Great value for money too. You will never leave hungry. This place is worth the visit if you’re hankering for some classic new york deli dishes and bagels.

I’m here just to rate the chicken waffles ‘cos its so good!!! the others are pretty basic but THE CHICKEN WAFFLE WOW 5/5
Absolutely love this place. They do everything well. I'm lucky enough to work close by, so I come here quite often. Their Ruben's are amazing, their bagels are amazing, their burgers are amazing, coffees come with a complimentary Hersheys kisses chocolate, and their peanut butter hot chocolate is delicious. I came here for lunch and ordered the salmon bagel with fried egg. My friend ordered the southern fried chicken burger. That will be next on my list of things to try. You will not be disappointed with anything you order here. It's super busy at lunch times, so you need to get here right on time. It's totally worth it.
Brought here by a group of colleagues, this is a fantastic joint to have lunch, great sandwiches and sides . The Reuben and Philly cheese steak are just so good ! They have a selection of sides and drinks as well. They split bills easily and food was quick . Great job.
Bowery to Williamsburg is a great American inspired brunch spot in Melbourne city, tucked in a laneway close to Flinders Street Station.
They were very busy on a Sunday morning but the maître d was impeccable and prompt, and the wait wasn’t too long.
We had the southern friend chicken waffles (yum!) and philly cheese steak sandwich (double yum!) and loved both dishes! Will definitely be back!
The coffee here was super delicious! I had a cappuccino, it had a beautiful art on top - It could be a bit hotter though. It also came with a Hersey Kiss, how adorable!
For food, I had the Classic Salmon bagel. I never knew that Salmon goes well with fried eggs. It was super delicious.
The venue is quite small but there are plenty of seats, both inside and outside (with heaters!). All the staff had great personality, the service was great! Definitely a must-try venue! Located on a small alley way, on the edge of Melbourne CBD - only a quick 3 minutes walk from Flinders Street Station.
Amazing food, cozy place and the food portion is worth the price! I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.
Love this place soo much! We went there twice while in Melbourne, and was not disappointed. There isnt much room in the cafe itself, but its totally worth the food. Service is quick and friendly, food was exceptional. I got The Elvis (pictured) & my partner got the pastrami brisket burger on brioche both times. AMAZING food highly recommend
3.5 stars Had lunch at Bowery to Williamsburg the other day and got their omelette and pastrami brioche roll.
I found their brioche bread a bit dry, but the overall flavours of the pastrami and omelette was yummy. They also hasthis hot sauce on the table which was extremely hard to get out, which is a bit annoying.
Their service was so energetic and friendly which is a huge plus!
This is one of the few places in the world that I am quite happy to return to day after day! The quality of every dish is very high, with generous portions and very reasonable prices.. The service is efficient and my friend was very happy with her coffee (I'm not a coffee drinker).. Overall, it's hard not to say this is the best breakfast/brunch spot in Melbourne!
Gobsmacked by the succulent, juicy and melt-in-your-mouth slow cooked beef that was loaded generously into our sandwiches. Very filling and loved every bite.
The sweet potato hash was so nourishing and the perfect side. Again, generous serving there too. Great little Cafe you must visit. Seating can get quite cosy with other diners but that's the vibe. Lovely find!
One of the nicest places that I endeavour to visit when I find myself on a trip to Melbourne. The best chicken and waffles, alongside one of the most rich, creamy flat whites I have ever had in my life. The menu is diverse, and you’ll find something for everyone when visiting. The atmosphere is cosy and warm, especially on a cool winters day and the staff are lovely and attentive. Till next time!
Great cafe on Oliver lane (next to Russel) for weekend brunch. Went around 10:30 on Saturday and had to wait for ~25 minutes for a table. only the centre long table has chairs and all other seats are bar stools. You have to share the centre table with others but we got a corner so it was ok.
Food was great and came out pretty quickly (fastest service I’ve ever had at a cafe). Had the turkey sandwich, sweet potato hash and the Southern fried chicken. Latkes were a bit dense so didn’t finish those. Flat white I had was pretty good. Friendly staff. One toilet on site which was not very clean so I didn’t use it (perhaps would be good to keep a bin outside to collect hand towels).
Would visit again to try the bagels and other offerings.
The Rouben Sandwich was loaded with beef! It looked amazing and tasted amazing as well! The mushroom and halloumi bagel sandwich was the best I’ve ever had! Stuffed with cream cheese and tasted super rich! Their coffee was good too! Highly recommend!
Can’t believe I only just found this place!!! Amazing. Industrial feel, American style breakfasts, NY bagels, shakshuka eggs. open kitchen. Generous servings. Very popular. Will become a regular on trips to Melbourne.
Great food, located quietly away on Oliver lane. Visited on a Saturday afternoon, a short wait to walk-in. Very friendly service. There's a long table and a good few smaller tables in and outdoors to suit all parties. We had the waffles, beef brisket bagel and peanut butter hot choc. All delicious and came out quick. The checked decor and fonts does make it feel like a New York subway.
A nice little, warm and cozy place for a breakie. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Ordered a large cap and a egg-bacon sandwich which was delicious. Will surely visit this place again.
