Reviews for Bluestem Bistro in Manhattan, KS
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 atree to go in and out of the restaurant. Read more
This is my most favorite coffee shop in town. I come here during the week for scones. And Sunday brunch with a little jazz is... the best. The staff and owners are amazing. Read more
I have been going to coffee houses for years, and I have been to coffee houses all over the US (East Coast and West Coast).... However, this is the best place I have ever been. Thank you for staying open all these years. To the local city officials ofManhattan, KS, shame on you. You didn't support this business but waffled and let "St@rHucks" build a block over and put in adrive thru. That is scandalous. You should be ashamed. Manhattan's townies sticking to those they do not like again. Anyways,help Bluestem stand up to the man by getting a fresh cup! It is a great place to go. Read more
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. Read more
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 Freezesmoothie. There was not a single thing I disliked. Beautiful presentation and colorful combination of tastes. The smoothie wasrefreshing and perfect for hot summer days. The self-serve ice water station is a great touch. Everything about this place iswonderful, amazing, beautiful. From the youthful, but laid back ambience, to the music (which felt like they reached into mySpotify playlist and pushed "shuffle") that played throughout the joint. Again, I cannot express how kind the staff is, the twoFOH staff that I interacted with during my visit are accommodating, courteous and friendly! I wish I had their names, but Ivisited yesterday [9/9/21] around 11:00am. I hope to visit this spot again soon and try more of their delicious menu! Read more
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! Read more
Went with my wife for a very late lunch. My wife had a Greek Paleo salad and I had the lamb gyro with side of salad. Both were... delicious! Nice place and friendly staff. Read more
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 purchasingtheir drink tumbler. It comes with $1 coffee refills! Read more
