Black Star Bakery&Cafe

Mostly, this is a great place, a variety of good bakery food, including for some dietary restrictions. Today I went in to get some thing and the cashier picked her nose and then got my items without having gloves on. Maybe have those handling the food wear gloves, and different workers as cashiers?

I tend to come here on occasion due to its proximity to where I live; however, there are far better coffee shops and bakeries in the neighborhood (Overflow Coffee and Bianco Latte Bakery to name a few). The last few occasions I have received incorrect drink orders during non peak hours. Overall, I would rate the quality of drinks and food as average.

Tasty little breakfast or lunch spot in LIC. I tried the Sriracha Egg and Cheese Sandwich. It was tasty but not overly special. Met my needs. Started to get the bagel with lox and cream cheese, red onion, tomato and capers.

Kid-friendliness: Would be easy to bring in a stroller and they do have high chairs.

I love blackstar and order/visit pretty frequently - they have one of the best chai lattes ive ever had (made in house i believe) and great breakfast sandwiches!! the only thing i wish was better was the prosciutto. i’d love a prosciutto di parma that was sliced alot thinner than they currently do it- but not a deal breaker :)

Café was good

I love the coffee and food and have been a frequent customer for years, basically since they opened when they took over grape/bean/leaf. It’s an hour before closing, I drop my kid off at the gymnastics nearby and need to finish out the workday. Their laptop table with two chairs are taken and there are five empty tables, but they still won’t let me work on those with a laptop. I don’t fault the servers at all, this is clearly an owner policy, and I’ll take my business to one of the other many coffee shops that will let me sit there for an hour on a computer. I am a good laptop person at a coffee shop - I buy food and coffee and stay an hour max. But I was turned off by this from a local joint.

Ordered a bagel with cream cheese and a cold brew. Bagel tasted like it was from a grocery store and cold brew was so light it was tasted like water. Stick to their espresso drinks. I’m sure other stuff is good here given the popularity but what we ordered was a miss.

Before my friends and I go to the park, we meet at Black Star Bakery & Cafe first. Good coffee wakes us up and some of my friend actually enjoy the bakery. The cafe has enough space and very chill and relax. Only one restroom so you might have to wait on the line sometime.

Had a great yogurt bowl, I added granola and absolutely loved it. Would definitely go back for brunch. Their croissant sandwiches are a little small but my friend said it was good.
