I went to Bluestone Lane early in the morning around 7am and grabbed myself a cappuccino before work. The coffee was superb, smooth, rich, and honestly just a really great tasting cappuccino. Since it was still pretty early, the coffee shop wasn't too busy, which made the experience feel calm and relaxing before starting the day. The service was quick, the atmosphere was nice, and it's definitely a great everyday coffee spot if you're around Midtown or near Grand Central. I would definitely come back again for my morning coffee. read more

This Bluestone Lane is a bit of a smaller location, not really any room to sit down - but still has a pretty robust menu! There are good options for drinks - I love the variations on matcha lattes, however they are a bit on the pricier side. read more

I've visited Bluestone Lane locations on several work trips and have generally had good experiences--except at this one. The staff here are consistently rude in how they speak to customers, and the overall attitude feels indifferent at best, dismissive at worst. On top of that, the service is incredibly slow, they always screw up your order, even when it's not busy. It's a noticeable drop in standard compared to other locations, and unfortunately, it's not a one-off--I've experienced the same issue here multiple times. This location is giving the brand a bad reputation. It really needs management attention and a serious reset in service culture. read more

Bluestone Lane has to be one of my favorite coffee spots in NYC. It's nice to have one so close to Grand Central on my way to work. Out of all the drinks I have tried, the cold brew and the iced Aussie latte are my favorite. This location has the nicest baristas! Drinks are always made fast too. Note: if you have the app, they usually reward you with $5 off pretty frequently! (Not just a birthday thing). read more

This afternoon after a lengthy appointment I yearned for a cup of java to revive me. I walked on Madison Avenue near 49th Street looking for a cafe. Bluestone Lane appeared. While quite tiny it had what I was looking for - a Cortado and cinnamon doughnut. A single shot of coffee was hot and welcoming. On the other hand the doughnut was rather sad looking and stodgy. Among the chilled drinks available, I spied Open Water which I like and here it was $2.50. I bought two bottles. Bienvenue is a form of greeting in French but here the charming lady who took my order said that it was her name! Hailing from the Congo, we spoke in French which I like to practice whenever I get the chance. Anthony, also from the Congo, made my coffee but said that his spoken French was limited. I sat to have these refreshments and then left keeping in mind that this is a cafe I can come to after appointments midtown. read more

Coffee is also great. There are some small tables and seats outside but the side wall is pretty narrow and busy so would not recommend.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a good flat white that reminds being of being in Australia, but I really enjoyed not only the coffee here but also the avo toast. Coffee was perfectly roasted and really love flat whites, and the avo toast with an egg put the whole thing together. Definitely will be repeat customer. However I'd like to propose instead of shortening Avocado to Avo, we all call it Cad instead (sounds like kod). Yeah that's a fish name I know that but I would rather call something a cod toast than an avo toast since it has 1 syllable and just rolls off the tongue easier, at least it does on mine. Who's with me? Cod toasts? read more

Found not one, but TWO (!!) plastic SHARDS in my avocado toast. To make matters worse, I just saw that I'm not the first customer who ordered from this location to experience this. So scary!! How does this happen?! Where is the quality control? How did NO ONE notice this before this avocado toast made its way to me?! What a waste of time and money! I've had good experiences (food & service) at other Bluestone locations in NYC, so maybe this location isn't a good one. I'll stick to ordering from other Bluestone locations in the city for now, unless I decide to take a break from Bluestone Lane altogether. Just sad all around. read more

Had to trek back after a 10 min walk to the office to swap for my correct order.

Coffee flavors are bold with just the right amount of creaminess. For breakfast or a snack, Avocado Smash Toast is the way to go. Multigrain toast topped with a generous spread of smashed avocado topped with red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice. Brand new and comfortable environment to enjoy coffee in!

Once the dust settled after some initial opening kinks, Bluestone Lane on Mad Ave is now a destination spot for quality coffee Australia-style. Known for their amazing long blacks (improved version of the Americano for the uninitiated), this no-frills location brings BL coffee to an under-served area in the heart of midtown. In addition to quality coffee, the delicious cookies and banana bread are also making regular appearances at this location. This is a welcomed alternative to the Gregorys and Macchiato chains that clog up midtown east and west. Here is to hoping the BL espresso and coffee stay great without falling victim to the inevitable compromising of quality due to rapid expansion. Fingers-crossed! read more

We were able to snag a booth for two on a Saturday at lunch with under a 5 mins wait. The place is…read moresuper inviting with spacious windows and high ceilings and plants which make it feel airy while the wood made it warm and natural. The booth was comfortable. Our server was outstanding. She was funny, attentive, and very helpful. They're easily able to accommodate gluten free (my friend has a severe gluten allergy). I had the corned beef sandwich and it was the best corned beef I've had. Tender, juicy, and flavorful. This would be on my regular rotation if I lived here.

Great local neighborhood bar. Came here for a drink with my son…read more It wasn't too busy, just a few tables filled with people and we were able to get seats at the bar. It's your basic local bar with beer on tap, wine, and cocktails. There's a food menu, I've had the wings before and they were nice and crispy. Weekend Breakfast and Brunch served from 11-4. Best to go during Happy Hour daily from 4-8 for reduced price drinks and beer is only $6. Located in between 33rd and 34th on 2nd Ave. Close to my sons apartment... for some reason, I always find myself here at least once when I'm in town. It's fun, and it's close with a fun vibe.

We were looking for a place not to far from our hotel to have a couple drinks before we met up…read morefriends and we found this place. The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

Sarge’s Delicatessen & Diner

After a weekend of rich, indulgent meals, we were looking for something a little more…read morestraightforward and comforting. We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.

Absolutely terrible experience at Sarges Deli. The waitress was incredibly rude from start to…read morefinish, acted annoyed every time we asked for anything, and made us feel unwelcome the entire meal. Service was so bad she deserved no tip whatsoever. On top of that, the food was overpriced and nowhere near worth the attitude. If you want REAL deli quality, good portions, and professional service, save yourself the frustration and go to Katz's instead. Night and day difference in both food and customer service.
