Elevine BergeOctober 12, 2014Blue bottle coffee and scrumptious grilled cheese sandwiches such as brie, walnut and date, and/or...the potato latkes. Colin behind the counter has one of the best voices in NY - check Silver Dollars
The hair cut here is solid, if not spectacular. I keep coming back because the barbers (men AND women, tatted up and down) are always lively and friendly, and I can't say no to a complimentary drink.
Madeline McDavidApril 10, 2016Amazing breakfast tartines ians perfect Bloody Marys in the morning. Delicious & creative cocktails in the evening! Lovely minimalist decor and fun ambiance.
Riv, a card carrying member of the Jack Daniels Hall of Fame, will serve you up a drank. Rob, leader of the "Ohio Against the World" crew will get your fade nice and tight. Can't really go wrong here.
JulieSeptember 25, 2014Good iced coffee, delicious tomato soup and grilled cheeses, cute staff. If I was a dude I'd definitely get my hair cut here too
SarahMay 13, 2015Staff are always pleasant. The fried egg sandwich is so perfect. I can't say enough good things about it. Coffee is good and the atmosphere is great!
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 30, 2014In the former Second Stop Cafe space, Blind Barber is a small national chain that reverses the Parlor Coffee / Persons of Interest formula, highlighting the cafe and hiding the barber shop. (4/14)
Sue LeeJuly 28, 2015You cannot go wrong with one of their egg sandwiches and a coffee. Great spot to unwind on a weekend.
Rory DoehringDecember 17, 2016Super friendly staff. The remodel on the restaurant side looks dope, definitely stop in for a coffee or beer if you're in the area.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 29, 2014Inhabiting the former Second Stop Cafe space, Blind Barber is a small national chain that reverses the Parlor Coffee / Persons of Interest formula, highlighting the cafe and hiding the barber shop.
Taby KislanovJuly 1, 2016Love it! Nice atmosphere, quiet, delicious cortado. I would definitely come back :)
Emily KaneMarch 22, 2015Cold brew on tap forever. Also the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. Spent more time here than expected because of great conversation.

really great coffee. come before noon to beat the rush. Great light and great ambience for reading.
Grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup and a blue bottle cortado totally hits the spot.
Guillaume FlandreNovember 1, 2014This coffee place is exactly what you want in a coffee shop: great coffee in a great looking place and a hand painted sign
Tanya BlumOctober 8, 2015Heads up! Last time I was here during the weekday there was no wifi. They also have "Dough" doughnuts which is a plus
Hip coffee shop serving donuts and expensive blue bottle coffee. Nice laid back atmosphere for a morning meeting.
Angela WenDecember 5, 2014Truffle shroom grilled cheese is amazing every time. They serve blue bottle and dough donuts!
Hip, cool place. A steal on Tuesday evenings with $2 tacos and extended happy hour!
Sofia UzJanuary 8, 2015Stumbled upon this wonderful place with blue bottle coffee and great breakfast sandwiches
The kale salad here is really good. Donuts are a bonus.
Danny NathanSeptember 5, 2016Fell out of love with Blind Barber. The staff always acts like they're doing you a favor and the food ain't all that.
Amy TremmelFebruary 27, 2015Egg sandwiches - omg. Blue bottle coffee. Iced coffee on tap year round!
Mike KelbermanOctober 19, 2016Call for an appt, their online reserv sys told me it booked one, left work early just to get there + be turned away. Didn't even offer me a drink. Skip the bro-fest, go to triple crown!
Stephanie ZhongMarch 22, 2015Coffee is good but did not blow my mind. A bit less touristy than other well-hyped spots such as Toby's or blue bottle
I don't plan on going anyplace else to cut my hair. The guys are great, and hell, you get a drink with every hair cut. Deal.
Puu KampolratanaOctober 18, 2014Got a capucino while waiting for a seat at Okonomi. Would be nice to read here though.
Alexandra FanningNovember 10, 2016Only ever had the coffee, it's great, place is cute. People are nice
Ryan AndersonFebruary 4, 2016They are snooty about the Wi-Fi. Might be worth it if the prices were better but sorry there are 100 places better in the area that are okay with you bringing your laptop to work for an hour.
