The poke bowl has a slaw and spicy noodles with these crunchy coconut crisps on the top that are such a great flavor add to this dish. It's a fresh new take on a poke bowl and I really enjoyed it!

I opted to have a refreshing peach infused ice tea that was a pleasant passenger to the Sausage Redemption I ordered which came in a handy paper holder that kept my hands clean! Flavor profile wise, the aioli brightened up the flavors of the sausage and the egg, and made me audibly MMMM in joy. I can't under praise the hashbrowns, as they were the right amount of salty and weren't heavy and super oily. The staff had the brightest smiles on their faces and genuinely seemed to enjoy have conversations with their customers as we ate our food. Something about humans connecting always makes my food taste better, that's for sure. We didn't break the bank either, since I definitely got my money's worth. I have a whole menu on my try list now!

Like it was a p warm day when I was in there last and it was still hotter inside than out. Sometimes owners skip on ac in a misguided attempt to save money, which is a bad call for workers, guests, and general vibes. Plus it seems like there's no management. Staff was working hard, but no one doing expo work or just overseeing the whole flow of operations. Nixing management positions is another weird thing owners do to save on operation costs. Hoping they're doing ok. Would be a shame to lose a favorite local breakfast spot. Staff definitely deserves better.

It was full and the whole parking situation with the metered is a cluster fuck. Not part of the restaurant....lol... Found street parking along Moorpark which was only a little walk to the restaurant. There was a band setting up when we arrived which could also be the reason for a full parking lot. I overheard someone saying that certain days they have live music which is perfect as it's starting to heat up. Nice dining experience with live music. We ended up sitting inside for the ac which I would have love to be outside but it was fine. Breakfast had ended but the lunch menu was quite good. I've alway ordered at the counter each visit which I'm not even sure they have waitress service with order. After ordering, a number is give where it's placed on the table. As there was a couple of us, a few dishes was had. I alway go for the mimosas deal, 3 for the price of 2. Food, the Cobb salad which I forgot to add protein to it but it was still decent. That came with their vinaigrette dressing but a side of ranch was also asked for. The Brie and turkey sandwich with a side of the macaroni salad. Sandwiches were quite tasty with the toasted bread and how everything melted together. The burger which was pretty big in size. Tasty from what I was informed and served with a side of fries. Lastly, the avocado toast with tomatoes. Simple and cheerful. Plus you need an extra side order of streak fries with ranch. Both ketchup and their avocado dip was brought out as well. Food was good, the service was great. Both with the gal at the register and the waitress bringing out the food. It's pet friendly which is also nice to have the little pup with us. Forgot, they also have a nice display case of sweets on hand. And cookies that were massive. Clearly one was had before the meal. Sweets beforehand is always a good idea. Great service, nice drink, live music and a lovely crowd. What a nice way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon.

They have a small parking lot out front but it's quite small, I found a parking spot a couple blocks away. It's on a busy street though so beware of fast traffic.

I asked for a very simple modification: a fried egg instead of a scrambled egg. Same ingredients. Same kitchen. Same price. You'd think I asked for ketchup on caviar. The response? They couldn't do it because it would "compromise the integrity of the recipe." Integrity... of scrambled vs fried eggs. Let's be clear: this isn't a tasting menu, a chef's counter, or a Michelin-starred experience where the dish is a precise artistic statement. This is a busy café with laminated menus, takeout counters, and pastries in glass cases. Invoking "recipe integrity" over an egg preparation feels less like culinary principle and more like policy masquerading as philosophy. If you like your food exactly as written and enjoy being told "no" for reasons that sound fancier than they are, you'll be perfectly happy here. If you expect a little common sense and accommodation with your brunch, your mileage may vary.

They are consistently fresh and craveable, and somehow manage to feel indulgent without being heavy. The Just Egg tartine is also a standout. It's satisfying, flavorful, and exactly what I want when I need a real breakfast that still feels a little special. And the lattes are truly amazing. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, and made with care. They also absolutely nail the seasonal drinks. The Cookie Latte is currently my favorite. It's cozy, dessert-like in the best way, and still tastes like coffee, not syrup. If you want a spot that gets it right every time, Coffee and Plants is it. Great food, great drinks, and a genuinely lovely place to hang out.

My husband got 2 tacos, brisket and chicken and a side of chips. I through in a side of crispy potatoes. This was a nice cool Sunday evening around 6pm, the vibe was full-ish but still places to sit. There's a big bar around the cook area inside where you order or a covered patio outside area (with heating if necessary). We had a lovely evening, so we sat at the end of a bench. Our food came to our table I'd say within 10-15 minutes of ordering. I honestly could have shared mine. It was a lot with those potatoes, and even my husband who's a thin guy said one of those tacos would have been sufficient (and he could have helped me with mine...haha). We were just in the area visiting our kids, we come down frequently from NorCal, so we will definitely hit up this place again now that we've found it in the near future. So good and super relaxed and easy.

When you try to get the salsa out, only liquid pours onto the tacos and you don't actually get any of the salsa goodness until you wack the bottle SO hard and then it comes FLOODING out.

I don't recall it ever coming out that juicy. It was delicious, but super soggy. I also ordered my tacos on the corn tortillas which were good, but their flour tortillas are definitely the star. One soggy taco isn't going to deter me from coming back, I do love the food here. Just wanted to provide feedback on those sauce bottles! Love, A salsa girlie

It was a busy Sunday, especially with the Studio City Farmers Market happening nearby, so we ended up parking a bit farther away and walking over. The location was easy enough to find once you're in the area, as its right on the corner of Ventura Blvd. and Laurel Cyn. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved at a decent pace. I'm assuming it was mostly due to how popular the drinks were at the time and people taking their time ordering. The space itself had a clean, trendy aesthetic that fit well with the Alfred Coffee vibe. We ordered matcha lattes, and they were surprisingly good in the best way. Smooth, rich, and not watery at all, which honestly can be hard to find. At the time, seating was pretty limited, but I've noticed they've since added an outdoor seating area, which is a nice improvement and makes me want to go back and see what else has changed. Overall, it was a great first experience, solid matcha, cute setup, and a spot I'd definitely revisit now that it's more established.

We got some relatively basic lattes--the milo and iced chai with almond milk--nothing that really is memorable but gets the job done with a nice, cooling refresher. What stands out to me about Bluestone Lane the most are how exuberantly colored it is with many shades of blue and green, their very cushy, cozy couch near the entrance and the incredibly friendly service and comforting atmosphere. We were there for a few hours working on our laptops and the barista offered our dog some water, gushed a bit over how cute she is, and made sure that our experience was the best. We also moved to the cushion at some point in our visit--honestly, it elevates EVERYTHING because it's perfect for sitting down for longer periods of time. I appreciate that it doesn't get too packed inside because it's not a huge space. It would be amazing if they offered more options here as I would LOVE to try their collab and seasonal lattes!
