Most amazing father & son that run this coffee / breakfast spot. They personalize every encounter and they put love into into every bite, making the food healthy, delicious, and you feel at home. The selection of what you can order is everything you want and more and the hours are ideal for very early risers. It’s a neighborhood staple🙌🏼 I recently returned from Italy and after mentioning it in passing they started playing Italian music 🎶 as I sat to enjoy coffee & a bagel and it’s was simply delightful. Warmest homecoming that was totally unexpected.

There's a line out the door for Blackstone while Starbucks sits empty down the block - and for good reason. The family run operation offers more than just great coffee, custom sandwiches and salads - they offer a bit of what we call crave...community. Sammy, the patriarch offers a hearty welcome to everyone who walks through his door "Hey cousin! How are you? What are you having today?" If you're lucky he knows you by name - he always asks about my wife Anna - you feel extra special when he calls you by your real name. He sons Ray and Alex are equally likable, albeit less gregarious as their pop, but they're learning. Tables and umbrellas set up outside with Sinatra music have made Blackstone the cool hang-out these days. The staff hustles orders out to those who've already ordered while in-line you'll find Wall Street brokers, a dad with kid in tow headed to PS3, New York's Finest from the 6th Precinct, an old-school Villager like me who's had a footprint here since the 60's. I miss the time where every shop in the Village was owned and operated by it's proprietors and made the Village... well more like a village. Thankfully we've got Blackstone that brings us all a little closer together one cup of coffee at a time.

Stopped in randomly and I will be back! Very friendly people here that greet you with a smile. They were quick with my order and tolerated all of my modifications without a problem. I had delicious food and left happy.

Amazing service ran by a family. The food is great. Usually busy during morning commute but can always call to pick up to avoid lines. This is my favorite neighborhood spot. My daughters go-to is the #3 - egg white, kale, avacado sandwich with salsa (not spicy). And mine is egg while, spinach, tomato, feta wrap. Can’t beat it!

It's a tiny, order-at-the-counter cafe (almost like a tiny bodega) with non-alcoholic beverages, chips, snacks, baked goods, ready-made pastas, paninis and sides, coffee, tea, sandwiches and smoothies. The coffee has a sweet flavor and is quite tasty. I also had a turkey club sandwich that was great too. The guy at the register (owner?) was funny and nice and the service was fast. They have tall stools to sit at by the windows but this is mostly a take out kind of place.

Small quaint place on a busy corner = great location My everything bagel , simple but really darn good.. Service was exactly what I expected. NY coffee shop perfection with just NY tude to make me inwardly smile. Those that know will understand I ordered d a Cortado as well. Not bad at all. Would you order again, well I would not walk a NY mile but if I am near the area for sure ..

Ordered a latte since I’ve been meaning to check out most coffee places in Greenwich Village. It was good, and I’m impressed by the decent pricing. Better pricing than other coffee shops nearby. The quality was good. The only drawback would be that it isn’t just a coffee shop, and as a result, coffee isn’t the main focus of their business. So if you just want coffee, perhaps there other places will satisfy your needs. This is more deli-like. 😌

Good coffee, small place but always has a line. I have been tasting coffee around here and Blackstone is one of the nice coffee place. Price is a bit higher but you will get a good coffee, The cafe is dog friendly, so you can bring your dog with you while you pick up the order.

This charming corner spot on the west side is a gem. If you happen to find yourself in this area after a night of bar hopping at EOs or other nearby spots, it's the perfect place to refuel with some much-needed carbs to combat that impending hangover. You can visit this establishment for a range of options, including coffee, bagels, tuna melts, BLTs, and more. Sammy and his dedicated staff, who have been a part of this place for several decades, create an experience that feels reminiscent of something I've encountered in the Caribbean - they treat you like family if you're open to having a conversation with them. Definitely worth a visit!

Most pathetic Egg & Cheese Croissant I’ve ever had! Almost impressive how little egg they managed to put on it. Paid $7 when I could’ve gotten a two egg bagel for $5 at Hudson Bagels. Blackstone honestly makes Burger King look good.
