I found Sonnyboy, an Australian Café, while looking for a brunch place on the Lower East Side. I was not sure what to expect to be honest, but was quite glad I found it. Not that big with tables spaced enough in these times of Covid, it has a cool atmosphere and a great service.

Menu wise, I am not sure what an Australian brunch would be so I would say that it is international. To share, you can opt for their banana bread that is quite good with salted butter or the basque cheesecake smothered with a berry compote (quite good, dense like I like it, not really airy like it should be though).

For entrees, they offer a breakfast burrito that seems to be an up and coming item in brunch menus. I personally prefer the burrata toast that is topped with figs. First, the bread is not too thick so cutting the crust will make you end up with most of the toppings on the plate if not on the table. Then, the burrata and fig pair really well together. This is a change to a ricotta toast, burrata having this delicious creaminess. The falafel bowl is also quite good: their falafel are superb, flavorful and not dry, they are served with a quinoa tabouli.
