Work brought me to the area and I stopped by for an afternoon refuel. The location was fairly unassuming but maybe that’s just me being used to the Northwest. I found it to be a wonderful establishment juxtaposed by the dense (but neat) industrial area. Better parking and interior space than I’ve grown accustomed to around here, wonderful separation and options for seating, service was quick and they’re very considerate. Last of all but most importantly, they’ve officially taken first place for best dirty chai this side of the Mississippi. Creamy but balanced, slight anise flavor that’s just perfect if you like that. Check it out. Food menu looks great just didn’t have time.

This place is beyond great! The customer service, the food, the environment is all 10/10. I have nothing bad to say about this place ever. The Blueprint Vegan Burger is my favorite…I love how they give you vegan cheese options or vegan sauce options too. Every time I go there I always see Ivan at the register or serving customers. He is a great part of BluePrint Cafe & I hope the owner knows that. Everything in the bakery is just as amazing as the food. I recommend this place to everyone!

Stumbled upon this amazing Gem. Amazing!! My partner and I really enjoy the whole experience. Victory was our server. She was absolutely adorable and helpful. She also made our tea really well. Her spirit was very warm and welcoming. She always came back to us with a smile everytime. The food was soooooooooo good. I'm a vegan, my partner is not. It was nice to accommodate both of our food needs/wants. Food was a 10/10. The place is a vibe. The decor is industrial/ rustic with high ceilings. They had an amazing DJ the day we went. He kept some good beats going!! I really enjoyed my time there. We will be back

I wish I caught our server’s name—he was excellent! From the time I called to check if seating was available to even after dropping the check, our server was prompt, attentive, and had our entire group laughing. The food was great with many vegan options. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and it was very clean. It has its own parking lot which made everything easy. Perfect place to go if you need to be close to Newark Penn Station.

Vegan-friendly! The menu had multiple vegan options available. Portions are massive. I had the tofu scramble which was just OK - wish it had more developed flavor. I could taste the spices, but something was missing. My partner had the sausage omelet and enjoyed it. The interior is very cute and well-decorated. There is seating outdoors as well. The parking lot is right before the building and can be easily missed.

I want to start off by saying that Jaime was wonderful! I went in for brunch with my dad and we were BOTH blown away by the service provided. The food was tasty. Everything was amazing. Will be going back this week. 10/10

I had an excellent experience at Blueprint Cafe. The food was absolutely tantalizing....full of flavor, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. Every bite was a reminder of why this place stands out. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Imani was phenomenal.....professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. She checked on me numerous times to make sure everything was perfect, which made me feel genuinely valued as a guest. Her attention to detail and welcoming energy made the entire visit even more enjoyable. Impeccable service, amazing food, and great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!

I have to call this an old world place… because they treat you like such a dignified human and work to create a welcoming atmosphere to all with a keen eye on aesthetic beauty and taste. The coffee is good, the service is great, and eat anything they recommend on the menu. Ivan recommended something that sounded a little crazy called a chipotle plantain bake and thought I would have never thought of ordering it, I gave it a shot on his recommendation and it was mindblowingly complex and delicious.

We ordered the vegan chicken and waffles, the banana pancakes, the skillet side (potatoes and eggs) the matcha, chamomile mint tea, and. Chai tea to go. The food is good, and the chai and matcha are fantastic. Like the ingredients they use for the matcha and chai and the tea are quality. I would definitely come back and try more menu items. I should also say the staff are nice too!
