One of the coolest little coffee shops in Manhattan. Plenty of seating, outdoor seating available when nice out. Coffee is always good quality.
The Bluestem Bistro is one of my favorite places in Manhattan. I've been a loyal and often regular customer for years and with good reason. The drinks are good. The food is excellent. The staff is always friendly. I look forward to the summer so that I might enjoy a cup of coffee and a book on their newly remodeled patio. This place makes my heart happy.
Bluestem has great food, but in very small portions. A great place for a business lunch or to study, but not if you're hungry. Good coffee, too.
We stopped here for lunch. My daughter and I split a turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich. It was really good, the turkey was thick sliced and just perfect, but I really couldn't see any avocado on it, maybe an avocado paste, but no slices. Still a really good sandwich, and I'd like to try more of what they serve there.
First time and it was excellent!!! I will definitely be back.
The employees are great and I couldn't ask for more. I have no problem paying extra at a local establishment. That being said at the same time the owner should pay the employees a better wage instead of requesting customers to pay a premium and be asked to tip on every order when the employees are not tip workers. Pay your employees a better wage!
Great food and great coffee!!
We were excited try a new spot to us. Ordered lunch, sandwiches tasty, but very slim with ingredients/portions (looked like I could have made at home). Mac n cheese generous with portion size, average in taste. Will return to try again. ?
Stopped here for lunch while I was in town to take a dog to kstate for a medical issue. Nice atmosphere, good staff, good food. The portion size for the falafel tacos I got was smaller than I expected, but it tasted great and the zucchini noodle salad I got with it was very fresh and flavorful, so I don't feel I can really make it a formal complaint. I just imagine it might be less food than some would expect.
This place is an absolute gem. The food is phenomenal. The staff are an absolute delight. The ambience is just great. The staff at the register guided me through their menu and didn't judge me when I mispronounced "focaccia"(which is no longer on the menu, but that's okay). I ordered the cranberry turkey on wheat with a side of house chips, and the fan favorite Mango Berry Freeze smoothie. There was not a single thing I disliked. Beautiful presentation and colorful combination of tastes. The smoothie was refreshing and perfect for hot summer days. The self-serve ice water station is a great touch. Everything about this place is wonderful, amazing, beautiful. From the youthful, but laid back ambience, to the music (which felt like they reached into my Spotify playlist and pushed "shuffle") that played throughout the joint. Again, I cannot express how kind the staff is, the two FOH staff that I interacted with during my visit are accommodating, courteous and friendly!I wish I had their names, but I visited yesterday [9/9/21] around 11:00am. I hope to visit this spot again soon and try more of their delicious menu!
