Black Star Bakery & Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I pretty much curb here three times a week. Fresh and homemade baked goods, sandwiches. At this point, it's definitely a neighborhood favorite, and there's always a line. I've never eaten or drank my coffee in the cozy shop, fits about five or six people inside. They have a help wanted sign up, I would say some glitches here and there while they try to find consistent staff. read more

Everything I have eaten in this cute little place has been very good. The coffee is great. I was a little disappointed with the waffle the other day. Just please be careful to offer to warm up the waffle or do not serve ones which are not too fresh. Service is very good too! read more

Cute little cafe on 24th - very close to the Freehand hotel, where I was staying. I popped down there in the morning to grab a breakfast sandwich and some treats for us for later in the day. The siracha egg sandwich was tasty, but next time I would definitely ask for it on a bagel. The bun was light and fluffy but didn't offer a lot of flavor. The tea selection was good, there were three donuts to choose from (I went with the confetti!), and there were a variety of other pastries. My friend really liked the lemon poppyseed muffin and my donut was very good. The seating inside is limited to about 4-6 people, but there were a few outdoor options. Not the most picturesque street (lots of scaffolding on surrounding buildings right now) - but I'm sure w/o that it would be a lovely little place to spend the morning. read more

Cute little bustling spot tucked away on 24th st. I got a flat white and an egg, cheddar cheese, and avocado croissant. The flat white was smooth and velvety. The sandwich was very good: I ordered my egg over easy, so it was nice and runny, and the cheese and avocado tasted super-fresh. The croissant was nice and chewy on the inside, flaky on the outside. My friend enjoyed a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with tomatoes, red onion, and capers. There are a few tables and some bench seating inside, but overall, there's only space for about six people to dine in. All inside spots were occupied, so we grabbed the lone table outside as it was a relatively mild winter day. We'll definitely be back to try some more dishes, drinks, and pastries. read more

I love this little bakery. It has a very relaxing and cute vibe - only I think 2 tables and a couple window seats inside but there's some outdoor seating as well for when the weather is nice. It's next to a comedy club. I usually come here on the way to work. Their croissants are divine (fresh and flaky)- They have an egg and cheese one that's perfect for breakfast and their egg salad croissant is also phenomenal - super fresh. They also have an assortment of baked goods including some less common ones like canneles and scones and I believe they change them out regularly. The staff are also very, very nice. The prices are pretty reasonable and the service is also quick. I love it here. read more

Excellent Chai tea latte! Great place to casually catch up with friends outside or inside. They have seating inside and outside. Staff have always been friendly! I've tried a variety of their pastries! They have savory and sweet. I'm more of a sweet than savory person. Here's what I recommend ordering that you won't regret. - The pistachio Muffin, if you love pistachio. This is for you! The muffin is moist but strong in pistachio flavors! - Almond croissant, The cake donuts are cute, but inconsistent from dry to moist. read more

One of the absolute best breakfast joints I have ever had the pleasure of getting food from. Everything thing is perfectly prepared and well packaged for delivery. When they are open, they were closed today for delivery, they are super-fast and amazing. Their price points are perfect. The egg and cheese croissant is perfect and priced right too, it is a little on the small side, but that is a good thing, we Americans don't need giant servings of every meal. The Breakfast Plate is great too. read more

Coffee & pastries? Yes, please. This little gem has such delicious pastries and desserts, and a great selection of coffee options. The cinnamon churro scone was so good. And nothing like an iced almond milk latte to refresh & energize. My friend had the salted caramel iced latte and said it was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try their sriracha egg & cheese . sandwich. I firmly believe sriracha makes everything taste better so I must go back and confirm this. Also, to try more pastries...or doughnuts, or the muffins, or the cake pops, or the cookies...or the apple brie croissant! They have all the non-dairy milk options. Plus - almond and oat creamer as well as honey, sugars, and simple syrup etc. if you like to fix your coffee to your liking. I found my almond milk latte the perfect sweetness & didn't sneed anything added to it. I also like that it has both a small inside and outside seating area. The outside was cute with flowers in planters. read more

I love Black Star cafe and whenever I'm in the gramercy area I make sure to stop by, not for their coffee (which is great) but for their food. Their breakfast burrito is simple but delicious, but I think my favorite thing to grab their is their turkey and Swiss croissant. While it's a cafe with little to no seating, the food is super good and they have a wide assortment of sweet and savory pastries for you to nibble on. I absolutely recommend this place! read more

Amazing place with great food, fantastic coffee/drinks and a super friendly staff and awesome space too. Love it!!!

I really need to cast aside preconceived notions I have about multi-loc eateries being soulless, flavorless places because Black Star Bakery is anything but. They seem to be thriving despite opening this Gramercy location in the midst of a pandemic, and it's no surprise their array of pastries, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and Oslo coffee brings customers back to their airy, plant-filled space. People need their coffee in a cute environment after all, pandemic be damned. They're carefully following CDC guidelines by enforcing mask usage among staff and patrons, limiting occupancy inside at any given time, installing a hand sanitizer station, and having contactless payment available. They have a couple of tables outside under a huge patio umbrella so you can stay dry and shaded while satisfying your caffeine fix. Under this umbrella I enjoyed an admittedly overly sweet iced chai latte, which I viewed more as a dessert than a vehicle for caffeine. I was so pleasantly surprised by my breakfast burrito, which had the perfect ratio of cheese, eggs, avocado, sprouts, and sriracha mayo. $9.99 felt appropriately priced for the area, and adding lox to the burrito was only $3.50 extra-- that's less than even a bagel shop would charge, and the bagel shop wouldn't even be cute inside. The burrito itself is pretty sizeable and left me feeling pretty sated for the rest of the day. Separately I've tried the Avocado Trip, which is an avocado, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich that comes on a nice pillowy croissant--my preferred breakfast sandwich bread. There's been so much turnover for businesses at this location over the years, but I have a feeling the foot traffic this cafe has been bringing to this block will break the curse. Long live Gramercy's Black Star Bakery! read more

This place may not seem like THE coffee shop but IT IS. I have been frequenting this location since I came to NYC and it has been unmatched so far!

Such an amazing little bakery. My mom cried when she ate their pastries because it reminded her of how her grandma use to make it. We will definitely be coming back every time we visit New York.

Black Star Bakery & Cafe - Churro Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The good: Lattes are pretty good. Chai latte pretty good. Wide variety of danishes and breakfast menu. So far I have had: plain and almond croissant; egg and cheese on a croissant; bagel with cream cheese and tomatoes and breakfast bowl. All have been good. The so-so: There is one person making the coffee and running the register so when there a lot of people it can take a while for you to get serviced. Same thing for the food, one person making food for pick up and to go orders. The prices are a bit high. The bad: No bathrooms for customers (this is coming from a pregnant woman who needs to pee all the time lol). They open at 8am which is kind of late for a coffee shop especially since there are a lot of hospital workers in the area. Final Verdict: I don't think coffee every day but will certainly keep coming. read more

Will return to try others Burekas are Ok A few tables for seating inside and outside Overall a great neighborhood coffee and bakery and we stop by few times every week. And I still have a lot to sample from here ! read more

The female cashier was extremely rude. I was trying to order a breakfast burrito today and I think she was trying to ask me what kind of wrap I wanted for the burrito but she spoke fast so I did not understand what she was saying. When I asked her to please repeat herself, she rolled her eyes at me and became visibly annoyed, which made me want to cancel my order and just go somewhere else. I honestly wish I had just done this because my experience continued to worsen. I sat down while I was waiting for my order and a few moments later, there was an order ready so I went up to check if it was mine and the lady snapped at me and said no that's for Michelle. All I was trying to do was check the receipt next to the order to see if it was mine. Her attitude was unacceptable and soured my experience. read more

I found this spot because of Too Good To Go, and the food is always delicious and the staff are always so friendly. Some of my favorite items I've had so far include the everything croissant (all the salty deliciousness of an everything bagel with the buttery flake of a croissant), the burekas (maybe I just really like savory pastries?), and the brownies (who can resist?) read more

The food is good but I am irritated by their service this morning. I put in a takeout order and arrived a little earlier than the estimated pickup time. I told them I just put in an order and my name when I arrived and told them I'd just wait there until it's ready. There were no customers at the time. But then, after my food was ready, they did not give it to me right away but just set it aside. It was not bust at all this morning. Only a couple of customers came after me. I do not understand why they just put my food aside after it's done instead of handing it to me directly, while they had no problem handing the food to the other customers as soon as their food was ready. I was really annoyed and did not appreciate that no one called my name after my food was ready until all the other customers came after me and ordered on the spot already got their food and left. I saw my food just sitting there getting cold while they continued to make and pack other people's food. read more

It's definitely a cafe I'd frequent more. read more

Love this little cafe! I've stopped by twice and both times the staff has been super friendly and maintaining safety precautions. The croissants here are buttery, light, and have the perfect crunch. If you're looking for something a bit more substantial, but still on the lighter side, I highly recommend their apple and brie croissant. The addition of arugula and honey make this the perfect sweet and salty sandwich. So good. They make a really good dirty chai latte, and their cold brew is solid too. I hope they stick around for the long haul! read more
