NewsBar Café is a counter-serve coffee shop at 107 University Place, a few blocks south of Union Square on the edge of Greenwich Village. It pairs espresso drinks and house-baked goods with a magazine rack, a combination that has kept it a reliable neighborhood stop for residents, NYU students, and visiting professionals.
The menu covers coffee, breakfast, and lunch. The café’s own descriptions highlight house-baked blueberry muffins, popular egg wraps, and cold-press coffee alongside the standard espresso lineup. Sandwiches and soups fill out the midday menu. The extensive magazine selection is the shop’s signature, so customers often browse a title while they wait at the counter. NewsBar also caters events of all sizes, which suits business travelers arranging office meetings nearby. The café holds a 4.4 rating, and Yelp shows more than 300 reviews as of September 2026 (source: [Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/biz/news-bar-cafe-new-york)).
