COME HERE ✨ you won’t regret it. The menu is super affordable & my food was delicious. I got the BLT & shared a sangria with my friend. We were quickly seated outside (which can be rare in the west village) and had the perfect people watching spot. The inside of the restaurant is cozy & a little swanky making for a nice date spot.

I usually don’t rate 5 stars. Last week during our trip to NYC this was the best lunch ever. Very European well cooked (like at home) and balanced healthy lunch. I ordered the lunch special: yankee bean soup and a salad, non-alcoholic drink included. It was delicious. The Tuna sandwich, chicken sandwich and the onion soup also excellent. The tiramisu was next level, like in Italy. The bistro atmosphere really nice. Great service, the waiters and the manager very friendly. If again in NY, will definitely stop by.

Bus Stop Cafe is a cozy West Village spot with solid brunch options and a welcoming vibe. We had the Eggs Benedict and the Energy Omelette—both hit the mark. The Benedict came with perfectly poached eggs and creamy hollandaise, while the omelette was packed with protein and veggies, making it a satisfying, lighter choice. Friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere rounded out a great brunch experience.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Bus Stop Cafe on our trip to NYC! It is in a great location, and the staff and food were both wonderful. I had the kale salad and my husband had the Reuben sandwich, and both were amazing. This was a great lunch stop, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in the area! It was well worth the visit.

An authentic spot with a unique energy! My husband took me to this diner in Chelsea, the first restaurant he visited when he moved to New York 15 years ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but the experience exceeded my expectations in many ways. The menu is traditional, but you can tell everything is homemade, which is a big plus. The place is super cute, with perfect photo-worthy spots that make you feel like you’re inside an Edward Hopper painting. The staff is incredibly attentive. It’s clear that everyone is aware of the fast-paced nature of the diner, but they remain cordial and efficient. I was really impressed by how, even though some were busy with orders, everyone helped each other to ensure guests were comfortable, like when they offered to store our coats and luggage so we wouldn’t be uncomfortable at our table. The atmosphere had this blend of British and New York style, which I loved. The staff is very fast when they take orders and provide service. Thry must have lots of regulars. The coffee was delicious, and all the dishes looked amazing. What really surprised me was how well they manage the space, despite being a small place with many tables and high turnover. The kitchen offers a wide variety of dishes and It’s clear that the kitchen team there can cook also really fast, which makes the experience even more valuable. I definitely want to return with my friends whenever I have a chance. Good prices, welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food. Highly recommend!

I drive from the east side multiple times a week for my bus stop cafe breakfast. It is truly my favorite place; quality clean food, cozy and affordable. Carolina (not sure spelling) and Natalie (weekend host) always are so sweet to me. Thank you for being so welcoming!! If you couldn’t tell by the photos - I am a creature of habit

The Bus Stop is a West Village treasure. Try to grab a booth seat by the window for prime people-watching—you’ll get a front-row view of the many designer dogs. This spot has a wholehearted energy that makes it perfect for a relaxed brunch. Plus, where else in the West Village can you get a to-go iced coffee for just $3.15? It’s a rare find. Taylor Swift fans will especially appreciate the lore that this charming café might have inspired her lyric, “I thought I saw you at the Bus Stop... I didn’t though.” The Bus Stop won’t disappoint.

This was a cute little brunch spot. Although small and cozy their service was very attentive. The food was delicious as well. We tried calamari, the stuffed breakfast croissant, Cobb salad and spaghetti bolognese. So yummy!!!! Definitely will be coming back and highly recommend!

The omelet was good - we gave it a 8/10. We ordered it medium/well(which was pretty weird when you order online without instructions on what that means.) The home fries were not seasoned although they came well cooked - giving them a 6/10 The French toast i will give it a 7.2/10. Perfectly cooked, not too sweet or dry. The side of eggs was kind of a disappointment considering i ordered (4) scrambled but it felt like it was less. The turkey sausage was perfect, no complaints there. 9/10. The blueberry pancakes i will give them 6.5/10. it was difficult to understand what they meant by medium/well done etc .. i got it medium and it came out soggy with the batter still in the middle. Something to keep in mind. OJ & fruits were traditional. Nothing to be rated here, very fresh! For us placing an order and 20min later getting it delivered was what gave us a great experience with customer service. the guy literally still had his apron on when he arrived to our front door. Great experience.

We dropped by this place from one of our Saturday morning walks. Their waffle is a must-try and it was served really fresh. The cafe is located in a very good spot too which gives you a sense of some history around the area back in the days. If not for the average service, I would have given this cafe a 5-star.

Got seated quickly despite being busy. Standard breakfast options but very good! Reasonably priced

This was one of the best tiramisu I’ve had and I will absolutely be back for it again. Recommend getting the Outdoor Seating, but they do open the walls to let some more air in. Very cute atmosphere.

Cute little place on a charming corner (literally a bus stop) that’s been around forever. I used to go here years ago and just came back for the first time in perhaps 15 years or more. I’ve only ever had breakfast here. The hardworking staff keeps the place buzzing, cheerful and welcoming service. My omelette was delicious and my guests all had corned beef hash, that got mixed reviews. I’ll give it another try one day soon.

I came here 2 weeks ago midweek for breakfast and loved it. The place is so cozy, same as when I used to come here 20+ years ago and it was really nice to come back here. Excellent omelette with potatoes and coffee and reasonably priced. This morning I was fancying eggs benedicts, I was thinking of going to Tartine as the reviews for that dish are very good, but as I love Bus Stop better as a place I decided to come here for brunch. I think my eggs benedicts were some of the worst I tried in my life! The English muffin was spongy and soggy as it had been warmed up in the microwave, the eggs were way too raw and the sauce on top was a totally flavorless yellow creamy something. Eggs, breakfast potatoes, coffee and mimosa were $33 before tip. Way too expensive for what I ate. I was really disappointed, and now I know that I will go back only for their regular omelettes. I give 3 stars instead of 1 for the breakfast I had two weeks ago.
