We come by often for their coffee. They have a lot of sweet speciality lattes which are always fun to try. The cafe itself is very cozy too. Their unsweetened latte is a bit bitter so I would recommend getting a flavored one instead. They have quick and friendly service read more

Came here for brunch on the weekend and got the French toast sandwich and a strawberry donut. The French toast sandwich was really tasty but the strawberry donut was not good. The jelly in the middle tasted so artificial I couldn't finish it, and I love most donuts. The place itself has indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter then choose your table and they bring you your food. read more

overpriced. $11 for not even half of a sandwich. Picture for reference. At least give me food to eat.

News Bar is a neighborhood staple. Incredible breakfast/lunch food and their frappes are yummy. Atmosphere is cozy and busy, there is plenty of seating inside and the outdoor seats are perfect for people watching. Service is always friendly but it's a hot spot so be patient for your order. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on University pl and E 13th st, Union Square in Manhattan. A few steps from Union Square. Ambiance: warm, cozy, casual cafe. Plenty of seating inside, some outside seating. Menu: coffee, juice, smoothies, pastries, soup, sandwiches etc. Service: friendly and quick - Gluttony Expedition - Yogurt w honey oats & berries: oats were a bit gooey thanks to honey and not so sweet. Meh. $7 or so. Soup: a bit salty side but the flavor was good. Raspberry scone: not too sweet, just right. Not big, but perfect size. Fresh squeezed OJ: very sweet. Cappuccino: very smooth, light body. I prefer a heavier body one in general, but this is good. Great barista. Chai latte: smooth and a bit sweet. If you don't wanna coffee nor hot chocolate, this will be the perfect choice for you. Yum! - Conqueror's Deduction - Unassuming, yet always packed with people. They do bring quality. Especially I like their drinks! read more

This is such a great place to grab brunch on the weekends. It can get very busy, but it is worth the wait. I recommend getting the French toast. All of their sandwich and baked goods looked amazing and perfect for grabbing food for on the go. The interior is super cute and cozy. read more

Kind of like a slightly upgraded bodega, the price and portions were pretty solid but the taste was nothing impressive. Not a bad neighborhood option if you're in the area and want something quick and easy. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon as I was making my way down to the park. Very unassuming from the outside but the tables full of customers outside made me want to check it out. It's a very nice alternative to the corporate coffee shops nearby. They not only have a selection of hot & cold drinks but they also have fresh pastries and sandwiches. I opted for the quiche Lorraine (bacon not ham) and a frappe. I was pleased with the service and the food. The quiche was light and flavorful with a good crust. The frappe was not overly sweet as with other places. Very good place to pop in for a bite! read more

Pretty good brunch spot in a really nice area, honestly didn't even feel like I was in New York. We both ordered the omelette's which were really good. Service was good, and there tends to be a line. You pick your own seats. Ice pound cake was a major miss though lol. Beyond that pretty good! Their french toast looks amazing!! read more

This place has failed me. The large tiramisu latte didn't fill even half the cup. It wasn't even delicious. They got my tuna melt order wrong, and gave me a grilled cheese instead. They're too busy during lunch. The seating it too crowded. People on their laptops despite the signs. I'm over it. read more

This has become one of my favorite places for breakfast and coffee! The setting is reminiscent of old New York- great ambience! The staff is friendly and welcoming- learns your name after 1 visit. The food is great- quite a selection for all day dining or just a snack. Great location near Union Square- I'd definitely try them if you're in the area! read more

I love love love newsbar so much. Their iced vanilla latte with oat milk is the best coffee I've ever had. Their ratios are perfect. On top of that, their sandwiches and pastries are so fulfilling. I always go for the prosciutto goat cheese and jam sandwich, or one of their baguette sandwiches, and each time it hits. Everyone who works there is really kind and speedy. It gets pretty busy around lunch, but they are consistent and always get things going. I have yet to sit down and eat there, but they've gotten me through my first year of college, and I'm really happy that I was able to find this place. read more

The hospitality that radiates from this place is absolutely world class! The owner Jan has curated a team of like hearted staff (Janna, Ivan, Stephen, Clara) who treat everyone, celebs and locals alike, with a warm, authentic, welcoming energy. The food is excellent, always fresh and tasty. Definitely try the pastries (the cheese Danish is one of the best in the city). The cappuccinos are always very well balanced and never too hot. Can't recommend this beloved spot enough! The dining room ambiance is always lively, ample plugs for phone charge, and the noise levels are never too overwhelming. read more

Was doing some shopping in the area on a frigid morning today. This place hits the spot for a quick drop in for some hot coffee and an egg sandwich to fuel up. Definitely busy and crowded but I found a spot to sit. Can't blame people for wanting to do the same as it's stupid cold outside! read more

A solid cafe to stop by for a casual bite, though I will say that the wait time for food on a Saturday morning is pretty long: 30 minutes. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato bisque when I came here and it was everything that I'd hoped for in a grilled cheese: ooey, gooey meaty comfort food with the perfect crispy crust. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area and have some time to kill. read more

If you are looking for a place to work, this might not really be the best place for a long-term focus session. Came in on a Thursday at 2pm. It's in a busy area so it gets a lot of foot traffic in and out. It did feel overly crowded. The staff were professional and friendly in the midst of the craziness. There was no problem grabbing a space though. Keeping to the theme of not best for long-term focus, the wifi limit is for 1 hour and my cups kept spilling. I spent more time trying to fix the lid of cup and keep it from spilling on my electronics than actually working. The food is good. Manhattan prices. I had an avocado toast. I would say this is a best place to just stay for a short period of time to do your work while you wait for a friend or to just pop in and out for your caffeine fix. read more

What a lovely meeting spot for friends, especially for those who lives in the other side of the borough. The staff members were welcoming and attentive.

Definitely will come back again. read more

Interior is really nice, there's a variety of tables to accommodate different group sizes. I came here with 3 other people and we had a lovely time talking and such. It's also warm which is a bonus because I came here on a super cold day. Staff was very friendly and the food/drinks came relatively quickly. I only gave 4 stars because the food prices are quite high for what you're getting. For example I ordered the avocado toast which was like $7 but the bread was tiny, I think it was a full sized piece of bread cut into halves. The drink menu was pretty extensive and had more standard prices though. read more

Well run cafe for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Extensive menu with interesting options. Food is tasty and they have great coffee. Friendly and welcoming staff. Eat in or take-out. Food comes out fast so there isn't a long wait. Usually very crowded but for a reason so there is a chance you might not get a table. It can be somewhat noisy so might not be good for a first date. It is my go-to when in Union Square. Highly recommend. read more

I aimed to go to another cafe but it's closed for some reason. So I passed by News Cafe. It turns out perfectly! This cafe is quite characteristic with New York local vibe. I ordered the mocha with almond milk. I like that it's fairly hot. Be careful! read more

It looks lively but they don't have the selections of magazines they once did. Perhaps they can get patrons to donate for a free coffee?

Can't believe this place isn't rated 5 stars! I love the soup and the sandwiches. It's cute on the inside but very busy because it popular of course. Great bagel breakfast sandwiches too! read more

This cafe is easy to overlook, but I'm glad I have rediscovered it after all of these years. It can be a bit overwhelming considering how busy it can get. I did manage to spend an hour doing some remote work here a few weeks back. It's a bit pricey but I can't say the prices are not in line with the area. The good and bad thing about working here is that you have a time limit. This means that they can have a quick turnover to open up the space, but then that also means you may have to continue buying more coffee and/or pastries to extend your time. I did really enjoy my Chai but I raised an eyebrow at the bagel prices. Will most likely return. read more

One of my go to spots in the city. I always love the drinks I get whether its a latte or a smoothie. The staff is nice and helpful as well. The food isn't bad, I loved the sandwich I got the first time I went but didn't enjoy the wrap I bought the last time I was there. Overall, a chill spot I always stop by when I'm in the area read more

Casual, we'll-run, no-nonsense Greenwich Village cafe where "coffee and" is as good as it gets. Sandwiches and pastries are a cut above and the quiches will egg you on. Attentive owner and staff. Good place to ponder your next piece of writing. Or your next move on that guy or gal you're with or trolling. It's the Village, baby! Where legends are born. read more

As I'm sure you can see Jan takes it upon himself to attack customers who give him poor reviews. Very rude and unprofessional. Claims he didn't cancel my order after I called and asked why my delivery was taking so long. My delivery driver had been there for more than 30 min and they told him my food wasn't ready. Jan told me my food wasn't ready. As soon as I hang up, my order is mysteriously cancelled. I called the restaurant, Jan claims he didn't cancel my order and my delivery driver never showed up and that my order has been ready despite having JUST TOLD ME MY FOOD WASN'T ready. My delivery driver was also told my food wasn't ready despite Jan claiming he never showed up. Jan also claims that my driver cancelled the order even though seamless clearly states the restaurant did. This dude is a total liar. Food is good, jan not so much. Please see pictures below. read more

Walked by this spot and first thing that caught my eye was the billboard sign outside and the brunch food pictures on the walls. Got me drooling at the pictures! You pick a seat, go up to the bar area to place your order, pay then wait at your seat for them to come by with the food and call your name. You pick up your drink order though, they don't bring it to you. When you are done you clean up after yourself, place the dirty plates and utensils in a bin. I ordered an almond latte with quinoa breakfast bowl. Latte was nice and strong with a beautiful art design, quinoa breakfast bowl had crunchy bacon chips in it, sweet potatoes was yummy and I asked for scrambled egg and extra chicken. So good! Definitely a must try place if you love brunch food and are in the city! read more

Stumbled by during a snow storm, as News Bar Cafe was one of the only places open. While the place itself was on the small side, it was warm and inviting, which was all that I needed during that time (including a bathroom, thank goodness!). The menu was quite extensive, filled with healthy and wholesome options at very reasonable prices. My partner ordered the Avocado Toast, topped with a perfectly runny egg and fresh tomatoes. I had the Brown Rice Bowl - while it definitely felt healthy, it was really lacking in flavor. The only thing that saved it was the za'atar, which provided a much needed kick. Overall the environment was cute and cozy, filled with city slickers reading, friends socializing, and NYU students clicking away on their laptops. I'm glad to have found this spot, I'd come back and try something different on the menu. read more

Cafe Nervosa and Central Perk had a grandkid and surprise, it's the News Bar Cafe. Yes, the cafe is well into its adults years, having been in existence for quite some time, but it's only gotten better. As the city around us has surrendered to negativity and a steady decline in well... everything , this place has still managed to maintain its good vibes, friendly service, and it doesn't hurt that it's situated on one of the nicer streets in the city. The food is amazingly fresh and the flavors are always spot on. It's easy to love the menu because it has both delicious healthy and hearty choices to suit any mood. Plus the music there makes a person feel like they're in an indie rom com from the 90s- in a good way. Mazzy Star anyone? This is your place. read more
