“ Love this cafe. I usually come here with friends and it’s the only one we’ll ever visit whenever we’re in the area 3 The nutella latte is what i recommend the most !!! ”
“ Coming from Oregon, I made sure to include Blue Stripes on my visit. It was a hot & humid afternoon and I was grumpy after my thrift store shopping was unsuccessful. Blue Stripes offers their brewed cacao iced! It was a perfect lift me up- no caffeine jitters, and excellent cacao flavors that didn’t need sugar! Lots of people hanging out, working on their laptops giving such ideal coffee shop vibes. Highly recommend!! ”
“ had an amazing time here at a catered event. The food is really flavorful, Middle Eastern but with very thoughtful touches of exotic spices. There were combinations of flavors that I have never seen at any other establishment, and they all worked. The staff were super friendly and helpful to my vegan friend. Looking at the menu, the prices during non-events was also very good. A hidden gem. ”
“ Finally! A guilt free (sugar free) hot chocolate options. I had a cocoa latte (no sugar added) and it was the most delicious and energizing morning drink without that coffee adrenaline rush. Add the cosy ambiance, nice pastries selection and convenient electric outlets and you get an ideal place to spend a couple of hours or minutes on a rainy morning. ”
“ Cozy cacao coffee shop. Blue Stripes takes the best of coffee culture and scales it to cacao (chocolate). An easy and delicious substitute for coffee in a space filled with art, books, and warm wood colors. Feels straight out of South America. Drip cacao brew score: solid! It’s essentially pure hot chocolate, so those less familiar with raw taste of cacao may opt for a cacaoccino or cacao latte. Everything else score: 5/5. Great atmosphere, variety of seating, and incredible bourekas. Additional amenities: bathroom, self-serve water, and friendly staff. ”
“ Loved this spot! Came here during the day on a Saturday and the cafe was full (we were lucky and got the last table). They have a lot of drink options and also food! ”
“ A great cozy cafe that's also laptop friendly. I had the dark chocolate mocha but I'll probably try another drink next time as this one was a bit too rich for my taste. Their bourekas are also a great option for a quick bite. ”
“ If you are fortunate to live in the village or just really love truly exceptional home made coffee and phenomenal desserts that are also baked on the premises, you have to visit, the Blue Stripes Cacao Shop on 13th Street. A former member of their staff rurged me to try their chocolate ruggalahs, which might be New York City’s best kept secret because they are absolutely DELICIOUS!. And their chocolate brownies are possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s a very warm and welcoming cafe complte with an entire selection of books for you to check out will enjoying your desserts and coffee.And if you end up sitting at one of their very comfortable tables for any length of time, you’ll be happy to know that their unisex bathroom is spotless! ”
