The 25 Best Cheese Blintzes in NYC, Ranked

Corner Cafe serves its cheese blintzes cold with a house strawberry sauce. That makes it the outlier in a field dominated by hot, griddled plates. Go here when a chilled dairy dessert sounds better than a heavy breakfast, and note the two-piece order stays below $10.

Bloom's calls the blintzes homemade in several parts of its menu. The breakfast order is the cleanest deal: two with sour cream or apple sauce. Other versions appear later in the day, but prices vary by section, so use the breakfast listing as the reliable reference point.

Bagel Boss lets you order one blintz instead of committing to a full plate. Cheese, cherry, and blueberry versions come with sour cream, and the larger Bubbie's Platter combines two blintzes with three potato pierogies. The single-piece format is useful when breakfast only needs a sweet side.

Elite Cafe is a kosher dairy option with a direct-order blintz listing and a broad menu built for breakfast or lunch. Online prices have recently varied between $15.95 and $16.95, so check the live ordering page before committing. For a fuller sit-down meal in this part of Queens, start here.

Coffee Spot lists cheese blintzes at $7.50 alongside breakfast plates, crepes, and Eastern European staples. The appeal is a casual neighborhood order that requires no special planning.

Chris's is the practical south Brooklyn alternative to Polonica. The current menu still lists cheese blintzes among a broader set of crepes and Polish dishes, though the listing does not expose a dependable current price. Confirm availability when ordering.

Milk N Honey includes both sour cream and strawberry sauce with its two-blintz order. At $7.25 on the current ordering menu, it is one of the strongest values for a complete plate. The restaurant is kosher and dairy, with the kind of large menu that also works for mixed breakfast groups.

Mozzarella's official site puts blintzes in the core lineup with fish, salads, pasta, pastries, and pizza, and says the food is made fresh on site. The online menu does not expose a stable blintz price, but the early opening hours make this a practical Williamsburg breakfast stop.

The strictly kosher shop turns its cheese blintzes into a lunch special with sour cream. Choose it when you want a real plate rather than a single pastry-counter piece in Manhattan. Check the live menu because the displayed price can move with the ordering platform.

Lansky's posts one of the lowest prices in Manhattan: two cheese blintzes with sour cream or apple sauce for $6.50. The order is small, traditional, and easy to add to a deli breakfast without turning the meal into an event.

Paradise builds its breakfast order around mixed berries rather than a side of plain preserves. The listing pairs two cheese blintzes with strawberry and blueberry, placing it closer to the restaurant's sweet-crepe section than its diner plates. Confirm the current breakfast price before making the trip.

Blue Bay offers the classic diner choice among cheese, blueberry, and cherry fillings, served with sour cream or apple sauce on a bed of lettuce. The menu presentation is old-school and unfussy. The current indexed price is $8.75, but verify it against the restaurant's live menu.

The Royal gives Bay Ridge a straightforward diner alternative to Polonica. Cheese and blueberry blintzes share the breakfast menu, both currently listed at $11.70. Choose this when the group wants a broad diner menu and you still want the option of a classic cheese filling.

Green & Ackerman's keeps a two-piece cheese-blintz order on its current delivery menu. There is less dish detail online than at nearby Mozzarella or Panini La Cafe, so treat this as a convenient neighborhood option and confirm the price in the ordering flow.

Panini La Cafe lists two cheese blintzes for $6, tying low price with a useful two-piece portion. The rest of the menu ranges across kosher dairy breakfast, pizza, fish, and pasta. Come for value and convenience, not an elaborate plated treatment.

Mendel's has the cheapest individual blintz found in the final field. The menu also lists fruit-and-cheese combinations and sugar-free variations at slightly higher prices. The listing is unusually inexpensive, so confirm the price and availability before building a large order around it.

Benjy's keeps a simple cheese-blintz order on a wide kosher dairy menu that also covers pizza, sushi, and bagels. The blintzes come with sour cream and have recently been listed around $8. Check the restaurant's ordering page for the current price.
