Here are five of our favorite places to order avocado toast in New York City:
-
Two Hands
This cute café on Mott Street is famous for its' instagrammable breakfast entrées and coffee drinks. Their avocado toast, topped with chili flakes, olive oil, and lemon, is only $9 (add tomatoes or a poached egg for an extra $3). Affordable and aesthetically pleasing, this avocado toast is (two) hands down one of the best in town.
-
Bluestone Lane
This chain has four café locations in NYC, and about seven smaller coffee shop locations, all of which serve their well-known Avo Smash. They serve their version of the dish with tahini, heirloom cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and sunflower sprouts, but some of the locations offer egg and prosciutto as options as well. Bonus: the coffee here is great.

Café Henrie
Pink tables, pink cups, and pink menus. This place has really embraced the staple millennial color and vibe. Their avocado toast is probably the prettiest on this list, featuring a watermelon radish that looks like a flower. So cute and so delicious! They serve a good acai bowl here, too, if you want to go and share a couple dishes with a friend.
-
Blank Slate
Breakfast is served all day at this Madison Avenue joint. Their avocado toast is topped with chili honey, which makes for the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. If you don’t believe us, just check out the gallery on their website for pictures that will make your mouth water (and give you inspiration for the snap story you won't be able to resist posting when you go there).
