Black Star Bakery&Cafe

I came here with my friend to get two drinks and it wasn't bad! I got their strawberry matcha and my friend got their pumpkin chai. Both drinks were on the sweeter and creamier side. Although they were good, I wish their was more strawberry in the matcha and that the matcha was stronger. My friend also loved their chai drink, but we did agree that the chai flavor wasn't very strong. Nice spot to grab a drink or bite. Note: There is no wifi here to do your work.

A general issue in the majority of cafes in NYC.
Please take better precautions with food safety. While staff were cleaning surfaces, I noticed flies landing on the food displayed inside the mirror. It’s important to keep food properly covered at all times.

This will change to 5 stars when they bring back their pistachio muffins. (They swapped them for corn of all things… 😢)

A perfect spot after a nice walk at the park. Located very close to Gantry park, this cafe serves the BEST coffee drinks I ever had and some fresh and delectable pastries and sandwiches. I personally love their Breakfast Burrito and Mozzarella Toasted sandwich, I added some turkey for an extra protein and it’s amazing! I recommend their Chai Latte, it’s my favorite. Very friendly staff and clean space and the vibes is just right.

Really clean food options here but lately the newer chefs have been terrible. My yogurt bowl is literally drenched with a quarter cup of honey and there is barely any yogurt. For $13 weeks expect better than this.

Been coming here for sometime as it’s the closest place my work - but would never go out of my way to go here. The coffee is fine the pastries are about on par with grocery store baked goods.

The real negative of this place is if you unknowingly open a laptop not in a designated “laptop area” here you’ll get scolded by the owners immediately. My wife witnessed the owners berating a worker into tears as well the other day. Horrible owners horrible pastries, take your business to one of the many other amazing coffee shops in Hunter's Point the options are endless.

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?
