Small, elegant, and all around cozy is how I would describe the Bus Stop Cafe. Don't let the size of the restaurant fool you, however, the food here is a big deal! I ordered a classic cheeseburger (what I consider the litmus test for many businesses), and I was more than satisfied with not only the size but the taste as well. The Bus Stop Cafe offers a great aesthetic, as well as great food for decent prices. The only drawback is that the cafe is so small, the staff seemingly has nowhere to stand, and at times it felt like the hostess, as well as our sever were just watching us eat. Thankfully they are very polite and the food will quickly distract you from any awkward eye contact. read more

Bus Stop Cafe - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I actually had a good experience here. The food was basic but good. The wait staff was busy but pleasant. Its exactly what you want for a place to pop into when you dont feel like cooking dinner. It was very well priced for the food I got. Its not going to blow you away but you will have a nice evening with good food and it wont put your bank account on a diet. read more

Unassuming joint in the heart of the W. Village. Check out the steak & eggs and experience some serious +1UP action! Boing!

There's nothing pretentious about the Bus Stop Cafe which may appeal to a lot of people in the West Village that want fast, simple food without much fuss. That's exactly what you're going to get in both service and food. The waitresses aren't over the top friendly and they don't try to mesmerize you with fancy decor. Everything is what it is here and I love the no frills comfort food. They've got great outdoor seating in a location that makes for excellent people watching... or gawking, whatever the case may be. The inside is small but I've been here a handful of times around brunch and never had much of a wait for a table. Great lunch specials and the delicious waffles are my "go to" choices and they haven't failed me yet. read more

We cannot say enough about Bus Stop. Been here forever. It's a classic NYC diner, of the type that's disappearing all too quickly. Food not brilliant, but always solid. The staff is full of love, genuine love, for their customers, and the price is right. My only complaint is that its success has made it difficult to get a seat sometimes. Long live the Bus Stop Cafe! read more

Bomb sangria and some of the friendliest service I have every received.

I love bus stop. great for a breakfast, lunch or small dinner. it's a great little weekend place. The food is really great for a "diner"/cafe. Large menu. You can find a lot more selections than you would expect. Prices are pretty good too. I've order from Bus Stop on many occasions and stop by on a weekend for basic breakfast. Today I had the French Toast and it was really wonderful. Definitely recommend it and I will go back. I live down the street so I guess I may be biased. read more

Hey, may not be the fanciest of places, or the trendiest.. but I had a damn good Casear Salad from there!!!!!!!!

My experience last week at the Bus Stop Cafe was so bad that I abandoned my free breakfast vouchers from a local inn and went elsewhere for the rest of my stay. My muffin was literally raw in the middle, and the bialy egg sandwich was almost inedible. The service was surly to say the least. When our breakfast arrived, I cut my muffin in half to find it raw in the middle. When I called the waiter over, he snarled at me and asked if I wanted something else. He brought a new muffin and slammed it down on the table. He then disappeared. When we finished eating, despite making eye contact and looking directly at me when I was waving him over to the table, he did not return to the table to deliver our bill for 15 minutes. When the bill arrived and we presented the vouchers, he growled at us again, and said, "wait." Then he and the waitress, who had been on the phone since our arrival, conferred for literally 10 more minutes. He finally returned, angrily and wordlessly pointed at the new total (which included 25 cents more of a tip than we had left), and stalked away. I was very disappointed to have had such a negative experience here, as it is a cute, cozy little place with a lot of potential. read more

Literally just walked out of this place. I just waited 30 min for a salad! Three groups came in after me and got sat, and food before me. I ordered a goddamn salad! The bus stop salad, which is greens, portobello mushrooms, parm cheese, and oil and vinegar. I wait 30 min for them to come out with a leafy salad and mushrooms. No dressing no cheese. When I asked the guy, he said "you wanted it dry on the side". I was like yeah, so where's the damn side of dressing? I am so hangry I just got up and left. So ridiculous! Have no idea why they got an A read more

This review is for my take out experience. They cafe itself might be quite nice. Called in for pickup. "Do you do pickup?" "Yes." "Can I order for pickup?" They sent it out on delivery without confirming an address. Arrived and was treated quite rudely. Whatever, miscommunication happens. Fries were soggy. $10 sandwich was bread and two slices of meat. You could get three of those at Spyros for that price. Order Westville. read more

I ordered from them off of Seamless and had the worst experience. I ordered two greek wraps, and the lettuce that was inside was brown and looked like it had gone bad weeks ago. I"m not sure how the person preparing the wraps could not see how rotten the ingredients were. When I called to complain the guy told me he could not issue a refund through seamless (which isn't true) and then haggled me about preparing another dish (and only sent over one new dish because the price point was higher than the two wraps I ordered). The whole experience was horrible--do not eat here, the food is NOT fresh! read more

Terribly over cooked meats and terribly under cooked vegetables (basically still raw and cold). No seasoning on anything, so bland. And slightly rude service. Only good part was the music selection and big open windows to sit at. read more

Nice. What a friend of mine used to call "A DIner With Pretensions." It's bascially diner food at diner prices with a more restaurant-like atmosphere. The waiters were very attentive and friendly ("She's having an appetizer and you're not? I'd better get you some bread, so you don't just sit and watch her eat."), and they had outdoor tables, and it just felt very relaxed and pleasant. I'll go here again when I'm back in the neighborhood. We miss you, Bobbie. read more

Couldn't recommend it for dinner, however this place serves the best Beligan waffles I've ever had. Always consistent they always serve it perfectly cooked. Great coffee drinks too. BTW - they say they don't take credit cards, but they really do. read more

A cozy neighborhood diner complete with West Village charm. It looks like it has been there for quite some time. The veggie burger was delicious with real veggies, not like a frozen patty. Friendly, quick service made it a nice 'n easy experience. Would come back. read more

Looking for a solid breakfast place for delivery? Bus stop is your man. You can't go wrong with the filled croissant. Amazing

This might not be the place for everyone - it is a small establishment, which means that it is probably crowded most of the time. The bathroom is very small, too. However, this is part of the charm. A very quaint building and location. The wait staff was attentive. If I lived here, this would be a regular breakfast spot. The coffee was palatable and the food was plentiful and fresh. Prices were reasonable. read more

Came here today for Brunch, it wasn't busy at all, we outside and waited for our server, 10 minutes passed and nobody came to take our order, I seen staff walking back and forth. I had to go inside to to ask for someone to take our order, the food took a while to come out, the table beside us ordered way after us but somehow got their food first even though we ordered similar dishes The food came out but they didn't give us silverware or napkins, I waiting to see if they would be brought over but nothing came, I had to again go back inside and ask for it. Somehow a Sprite ended up on our table which we never ordered, the waiter told us just to have it since it was a mistake, we didn't drink it and it ended up on our bill, I had to have them take it off. The table next to us asked the busser for extra napkins, they were never brought over so I gave them the extra napkins we had on our table It's a cute spot with a great location, the food was good and I enjoyed the other few times I visited this location but today had too many issues that really didn't need to to happen, for such a small place they really shouldn't have these issues read more

Food is extremely bland. To make matters worse, they stole my watch off the table. I went back 5 minutes later, and they claimed it was never there. Hm... read more

Love their waffles with berries, sliced almonds, honey and yogurt. Other items are also good.

THE BEST chicken caesar salad in the city. Great iced tea. Friendly wait staff. What else do you need?

Great Greek Diner. Good burgers, Salads, sometimes the soup is a little thick etc., but hey we're not talking gourmet here, we're talking old fashion New York City Greek Diner. A real neighborhood hang out, it's got a great outdoor area, and it's cozy inside. Wait staff can be hit or miss, but again, you don't expect 5 star service at a diner and overall my experiences have been fairly good. The Goat Cheese Salad is divine. read more

Hmm..from the reviews it looks like this is a popular brunch place. I came here for dinner. My friend got a pretty average Caesar salad, and I had a honkin' huge spanokopita. We each had white wine (with spanokopita? yeah. I know). We sat outside, which I would DEFINITELY recommend. I rarely venture to the West Village, but if you're someone who does, I'm not sure this should be the #1 place on your hit list. Reasonable prices, average service. read more

This was a great little stop for lunch - good value, fresh healthy options. New York is always has the rep of super expensive food, frankly I find that it's probably cheaper than back home - for sure certainly not more. Think the two of us ate a nice lunch for $20 plus tip read more

My wife & I came here after trying to get service (and failing) at Cafe Gitane. Basic muffins, eggs and coffee here, and they were all delicious. read more

Eaten here about 50 times. NEVER a mistake and the food and coffee rocks. Local establishment - on target, never a letdown. Don't miss.

The Bus Stop Cafe could be really good as it is in a great West Village location but suffers from the Manhattan curse of abysmal service! The food is typical diner fare but you practically have to beg to get service, drink refills - and your bill! It mystifies me as to how the waitstaff, that relies on tips as a good portion of their income can be just so nonchalant and inattentive. I've noticed that Manhattan has hands down the absolute worst service and the Bus Stop Cafe reiterates that fact. The waitstaff and owners basically stood behind their counters and couldn't even be bothered to see the swiveling heads of the parched patrons anxiously awaiting refills and their checks. Mediocre food, abysmal service. Steer clear of this one! I certainly hope that Yelpers will help improve these lackluster business by keeping them honest and forcing them to improve their service. read more

I thought this place was great. Cheap, good food. I got a veggie burger with fries for $7.75! And the coffee was delicious as well. It's great because you can sit outside and watch the people go by. Saw two celebs in the time we were there. read more

Wandering through the W. Village on a stormy day with only a stomach full cupcakes and a black coffee, I tried to find something within the price range of a student. I remembered I got lost on the bus once and ended up at a diner somewhere on Hudson St. so I dragged my tired ass crosstown in hopes of recognizing the place. It was all the way at the end of Bleeker St. and after that walk my appetite was raging. We arrived right at the mid-afternoon lull so we had the place almost to ourselves. Me and my friend both ordered the "Stop Club" (BLT with turkey). The portion was just right leaving you at the point of being satisfied but not overly so that you end up in a food induced coma and the price was average for a diner. I wouldn't go out of my way just to eat here but it does make it onto my list of affordable places to eat when in the area. read more

Went this morning for brunch. Fabulous value! My meal was $6 for 2 eggs, fried potatoes, multigrain toast, coffee and juice. Our waiter was the best part- he was attentive and when my dining companion spilled coffee on his shirt, he brought us club soda. Wasn't expecting such good service. A lovely surprise- will certainly be back. Plus- outdoor seating! read more

Really fresh-tasting mimosas. Had the $17 "berry good" breakfast special: a waffle topped with yogurt, honey, almonds, strawberries and blueberries. Comes with an alcoholic drink of choice (mimosa, sangria, rtc) and a choice of coffee, tea or juice. They asked to refill my coffee possibly 20 times, but somehow managed to do it unobtrusively. Great, kind staff and good atmosphere. Cheaper options also available. A nice West Village visit, for sure! read more

Went to brunch here with my boyfriend's sister and we had a very satisfying meal. I enjoyed the griddle cakes with real Vermont maple syrup while Caroline enjoyed a much healthier salad and the boyfriend had the eggs benedict. If I lived in New York I would definitely make Bus Stop Cafe one of my weekend brunch spots. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is great and the little spot is just so freaking cute! Sitting on the patio is perfect for catching some rays and people watching during the warm months. read more

Good setting, nice location. Been here twice for breakfast and can't say I was blown away by the food but it's a quality spot with good service and decent fare at affordable prices. read more

Got there just before the crowds on a Sunday morning (10 am), no wait, excellent service. Good basic breakfast, authentic people, atmosphere. Reasonably priced and no funny business. read more

We went to the Bus Stop Cafe for brunch on Easter. I was actually surprised at the quality of food and service. The staff was very accommodating. I enjoyed my Mimosa and French Toast and my boyfriend loved that his Caesar Salad actually had anchovies in it!! This was the perfect low key spot for a beautiful Sunday afternoon! read more
