Such a gem of a place! Very cool vibe and the food is delicious. All of the staff are super kind! Highly recommended

This was a fantastic find. The vibes are great. Service is really great. Our waitress was super attentive and helpful. The food was really good. If you have any vegan friends, take them here... they will love you!! read more

The food here was AMAZING!!!!! I had the burger with everything. It was so fresh and tasty!! I suggest the lavender iced tea it was a great refresher for a hot day. My sister had the vegan burger. We said it was delicious along with maple glazed doughnut. I wish the location was better I couldn't see the sign or parking. But overall great experience. Will come again! read more

Great little spot in Newark! Awesome vegan and non vegan options with specials. The place is super cute with fun decor. They had a private event with a DJ while we were there so the music was loud and the people were definitely having fun so I'm sure the environment will definitely be different next time we go but I'm sure it will still be great! It's BYOB and BOMB so definitely give it a try! read more

This place is a hidden gem. I took my friend who was visiting from out of town and we wanted to have a bite close to Newark Int'l Airport (15 mins away). We pulled in the parking lot and discovered this amazing cafe. We were greeted by our host and server Maria (truly an amazing person). We sat in a comfortable setting with chairs and a table that felt we were at home. We had the exotic hand made fruit juice (Açaí Lemonade)and smoothies (forgot their name but it was a green veggie mixed). We ordered the fish tacos (3 soft shelled tacos) which is prepared fresh and you can even add spice to it if you like. This dish was amazing and filling. Did u mention it was made with salmon? Truly delectable! I definitely will cross the GWB to come back this hidden gem real soon! Thank you Blueprint Cafe for the amazing experience and thank you Maria for being a great host! read more

I decided to experience this hidden gem because of my vegan friends doing a meet up. The food was delicious. There were vegan and none vegan options! I think more people should go try it. read more

Flying in from London and my wife finds this hidden gem in Newark. Wife ordered the Blueprint vegan burger and I ordered the Vegan Cheesy sandwich. Both were really good. We also ordered Acai Lavender and Apple Mint lemonades, which were also really good. We always wondered why Newark didn't offer more vegan options, especially on our way back from a long road trip from South Jersey or Delaware. Hidden gem in the industrial area of Newark, definitely worth trying. read more

AMAZING FOOD that I didn't expect to find in this area, with tons of vegan options. I loved the interior. Food took a little while to come out, but they seemed pretty busy and the fellow who was solo at the counter/register was sooo nice and accommodating - to be stressed and still smiling is something. thank you! read more

Wonderful gem in the Ironbound. The Impossible Burger is delicious with their made to order sweet potato fries. Excellent coffees and desserts. Welcoming staff and management. LOVE!! read more

Stopped in this cafe and the food was very good. Plenty of vegan options, nice ambience and great music! They also have a nice outside space. read more

I really wanted to love this place because it's a local spot with great vegan options but the service is just so bad that I'm never going back again. They will roll your eyes for the smallest change you ask to make to your order and I've gone multiple times at different hours. Even when the owner rung me up, he had an attitude for no reason. The over-priced food isn't worth it worth it in my opinion. read more

So ridiculously delicious, great for families that have both vegans and non-vegans in them, rad staff! Can't say enough good things.

Found this place by accident, but so glad we did. The folks working there were very friendly and the food was amazing. Great quinoa salad...very fresh ingredients and flavors. Same with the cheese steak and coconut rice bowl with chicken. It's off the beaten path, but we'll worth a stop. Everything on the menu looked great. We'll seek it out on our next road trip. read more

Amazinggggg.... loves the food. Vegan choices. Great service. Black owned. Just amazing.

Great food. I had the bbq chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Coffee is good and the fresh pastries look good too. Apparently all are baked in house. The inside is really cute. I came during lunch time on Friday and it there were a good amount and mix of people, all pretty young. We need more original and independently owned restaurants like this in Newark. Parking is before the building. read more

The cheese danish was so incredible I felt like I was going to ascend out of the building. Vegetarian and vegan entrees are also amazing. I came to this area on a trip to NYC. This is easily one of my favorite places I've eaten at and it's not even in NY. read more

My new favorite place! The stuffed French toast and red velvet lattes are delicious! The space is super cute and comfy to chat or get work done. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Their Friday tapas & DJ events are also great. I'll be coming here often to eat, work, and play! read more

While they're more known for their cafe, these guys do outstanding and reasonably priced catering. The quality and freshness of their food is second to none. No one else comes close. They are also pros at catering to different dietary requirements. Well done! read more

Has parking, great service and nice scenery. Food, was a bit pricey considering it's quality. Not to say it was bad at all, it was just average. read more

Came here on a random morning when I was in the area and that was a great decision! I had a latte which was amazing, I don't like super sweet coffee and this was just the right amount to give it the taste without the last sips of pure syrup. I had the stuffed French toast which was delicious. The portions were big. The vibe is super chill, and the actual place is so nice. Deff will be coming back, hopefully often. read more

Great F'ing place vintage furnishings & decorations all the food is delicious well prepared with great portions friendly service variety of choices competitive pricing desserts are phenomenal with vegan vegetarian selections an exciting mix up to add to a small group of favorite spots read more

Love this place!! Great staff, lofty/industrial design with a unique history. The space was formerly an apartment building that was torn down to ground floor. The owner has a construction company next door. So glad to have found a place with history, but more importantly- great food! read more

Been to Blueprint several times now and have enjoyed it each time. My fave was chicken and waffles when it was on the menu. Cant go wrong with the Buffalo chicken sandwich or salad. I'm not a vegetarian but they've got a ton of choices if you are. Great atmosphere, good coffee and eat outside if you get the chance. One of my go to places when I'm in Newark and not eating Portugese. read more

I have to wait over 15 minutes plus for a bacon egg and cheese bagel? LOL. This place wasn't even packed and I felt like I was at IHOP ok a busy Sunday morning. I really don't understand how there is one person in the backing cooking. This place is trash and this place is not worth it. DO NOT waste your time here. Holy crap. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The food was great and the people were cool and hospitable. I had the vegan cheesy and my girlfriend had the chicken and waffle. Great sandwich that was filling and flavorful. Chicken was juicy and didn't have all that breading that most chicken and waffles have. This a place we're you can eat healthy and feel great after. read more

Wow! I must say what a great addition to a cafe in this area! I ordered a green Eggs and cheese and must say it smelled so delicious I couldn't help having a bite before the pic;-) very friendly staff! Raphael was the nicest as well as welcoming! read more

Our birthday party group enjoyed round table corner of this cozy hidden gem on Raymond Blvd; its a virtual oasis! Beautifully decorated well lite loft area, incredible detail and artsy touches of urban style and culture. Warehouse steel kitchen that turned out some good food that night by my man Rafael. The manager, Charles and all made us feel quite comfortable with our BYOB libations, great atmosphere and awesome DJ! Fish fry Friday was good, more fish next time please, it was delicious. Can't wait to have those pancakes for brunch on the open front terrace under an umbrella with a perfect mimosa. Parking is good the bathroom is beautiful and clean. Keep up the good work brother. Quite impressive restaurant off the Ironbound of Newark. read more

See all

Love this place steak sandwich is very tasty Free lemon water is so refreshing. Lots of vegan........... read more

Food is delicious and fresh. Menu is small but it's clear that it's because the food is great quality and fresh. Their coffees and teas are really good and pair perfectly with all their desserts. The vegan donuts, especially the dragon fruit one are worth the visit alone. Also BYOB and the interior is so dope. Staff super friendly as well. Only negative is that it's a bit out of the way, but there's free parking on site. DJ could turn music down a little bit during dinner as well. read more

Very ghetto. Staff is rude. If you take a lady friend here be prepared to be harassed. I wonder who they paid off to give those good reviews. We shlepped all the way from Brooklyn to check this place out, and we even called to reserve a table but the nasty waitress working tonight decided to keep changing the time the place closes before we even ordered. Site says open till 11 then they changed it to 9 then when we arrived at 715 they changed it to 8. Very rude and unprofessional. We decided not to spend our money there tonight. read more

This place is top notch. I stopped in after hearing about it from a friend. I was not disappointed, I was with my wife and we both enjoyed our food. You must try the vegan donuts they were delicious. It may be a little difficult to spot while driving just trust your gps,and pull up in the driveway. It's a construction company in the rear but it's ok to park there the buildings are connected. read more

I feel bad having to give such a low rating but the food was not good at all. I could have made a better breakfast at my house. I live in the other side of Newark and came from far just to see this place that was getting all these great reviews. The food was not good. The pancakes were not well cooked and falling apart, the egss dry and bacon super greasy and not drained. The service and coffee were the only things working for me. She was very nice and the local its self as well. But for $15 I could have gone to tops. read more

Came here for an open mic night with LMNOP. The food was awesome. Had buffalo cauliflower and it was awesommmeeee

This place is amazing! Talyrah is so friendly, helpful and professional. The food was excellent, too. The ambiance makes you want to hang out for hours. If I lived in New Jersey I would be here at least 3 times a week enjoying the delicious food, wonderful coffees and delightful hospitality. read more

It was amazinggggg! Vegan burger was out of this world! Everyone is super friendly too!
