    Blue 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.

    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.

    Good iced coffee, delicious tomato soup and grilled cheeses, cute staff. If I was a dude I'd definitely get my hair cut here too

    In 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)

    Staff 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!

    You cannot go wrong with one of their egg sandwiches and a coffee. Great spot to unwind on a weekend.

    Grab a cut, setup the laptop or swing past for a takeaway coffee – either way you’re in for a time. The vibe is always chill and the music perfect for the setting. Read more

    Call 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!

    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.

    Coffee is good but did not blow my mind. A bit less touristy than other well-hyped spots such as Toby's or blue bottle

    They 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.
