Bluestem Bistro

there are so many wonderful coffee shops in Manhattan, but I find myself returning to Bluestem time and again. Delicious Sunday breakfast, amazing coffee, and a great ambiance. My dogs love hanging on the deck while I order!

I also recommend purchasing their drink tumbler. It comes with $1 coffee refills!

The food was good! But I brought my dog with me because the Chef asked us to leave since she's not a service dog (but she is mellow and I can control her). It became an issue when I had to order and pick up food. I ended up having to tie her up to a tree to go in and out of the restaurant.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to Bluestem, and this visit has brought it back to the top of my list. Love the vibe, great music selection, and there are a number of sugar free syrup flavors to choose from.

This place is an absolute gem. The food is phenomenal. The staff are an absolute delight. The ambience is just great. The staff at the register guided me through their menu and didn't judge me when I mispronounced "focaccia"(which is no longer on the menu, but that's okay). I ordered the cranberry turkey on wheat with a side of house chips, and the fan favorite Mango Berry Freeze smoothie. There was not a single thing I disliked. Beautiful presentation and colorful combination of tastes. The smoothie was refreshing and perfect for hot summer days. The self-serve ice water station is a great touch. Everything about this place is wonderful, amazing, beautiful. From the youthful, but laid back ambience, to the music (which felt like they reached into my Spotify playlist and pushed "shuffle") that played throughout the joint. Again, I cannot express how kind the staff is, the two FOH staff that I interacted with during my visit are accommodating, courteous and friendly!
I wish I had their names, but I visited yesterday [9/9/21] around 11:00am. I hope to visit this spot again soon and try more of their delicious menu!

Stopped in for brunch after moving my son in to K-State. Breakfast was delicious, and reasonably priced. Service was great, food was brought out quickly. Atmosphere was outstanding with live Sunday morning Jazz. Definitely recommend!
