Black Star Bakery & Cafe

Situated just off the L train on Bedford Avenue, the space mixes an upstate cafe vibe with a nostalgic touch: a sign reading “Talk to each other. Pretend it’s the 90s.” Beyond the counter, guests find a backyard patio with chirping birds alongside affordable fare. The drink selection features thick-foamed almond milk cappuccinos and strong americanos, while food options extend to cherry-filled pastries, smoked salmon toast, and waffles topped with fresh berries and whipped cream.
