Coffee is great-- possibly the best tasting coffee in the area. Food is soso-- healthy tasting, which I guess isn't a bad thing. Ambiance is bright and nice. But service is pretty bad-- both times I've dined in, the wait times for the check and for the food was horribly long. Next time, I'll probably only do coffee to go. read more

Great spot to grab a coffee or a quick bite for lunch. We were staying at the Westin and it was only a 3 min walk away. The inside is beautiful. The window walls bring in so much light and the lofi beats set a nice relaxing mood. Lots of people here working working on their laptops while enjoying a coffee. Plus the library is next door if you need a more quiet space to work. Oh the coffee. The Draught Flat White is heaven. So creamy and light. You don't really taste the coffee as much but you get the buzz. I had the warm chicken and ancient grains bowl for lunch. It was delicious. Chicken was well seasoned and loads of veggie. read more

The breakfast bowl was delicious, great matcha latte, but the service was a little slow and rude. I witnessed multiple times of wrong orders being brought to the wrong table. A couple sitting near me nearly walked out due to long wait time. read more

This was a all around bad experience. The very kind Hispanic lady taking our order was extremely difficult to understand. She asked if we wanted milk and we thought she was asking what meat we want on our toast. Her coworker then shouted at us and said " she said milk ! " . We ordered salmon toast which was disgusting. Drenched in lemon juice and very appetizing. This was gross. This was on 05/21/25 @ 11:45am . Bad service , bad food , mid coffee ... read more

First time at Bluestone Lane Cafe, this one in West End DC. Fabulous Australian-influenced menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love the extensive drinks menu that includes hot coffees and tea, smoothies, as well as cocktails, beer and wines. It's a bright vibe with the floor to second story windows. Our server Merlin was lovely and helped us through the distinctions in the long coffee menu. read more

This place is cute and the coffee is god, but I wouldn't recommend it. Poor management means they're chronically understaffed, so wait time are long even when the place is less than half full. Not the fault of the staff, who work their asses off, but there just aren't enough people working. Lots of good options in the area, so best to go somewhere else. read more

very popular brunch spot, australian style, which is rare in DC (i prefer australian to american brunch). a lot of avocado and egg-based items. nice atmosphere with large windows that let in a lot of natural light, but it can be loud, especially on the weekend on a sunny day. they try their best to get to you but because it's so busy, sometimes you have to go up to the waiters to catch their attention. they allowed me to customize the spicy chicken wrap as a bowl instead. it took about 20 minutes from order to food arrival. food was delicious and actually quite filling. the drinks are expensive, though, so it can easily add up to $30 per person. if you don't get a drink, then expect to pay around $20-25. read more

Cool place that's connected to the library Leafy decoration and big windows were cool and helped keep it warm inside. The food is very expensive as you'd expect from DC, but definitely very delicious. Paid extra $6 for smoked salmon on the B.L.A.T.E. Sandwich and didn't regret it. 3 people brunch can easily reach $100 but it was certainly tasty. read more

Excellent service and strong coffee! They have a lot of seating and are family friendly as well. Highly recommend checking this location out! read more

The food was good, but the service was really poor. I wasn't greeted or checked on at all. To make matters worse, when I went to pay, I saw a MOUSE inside the restaurant. When I told the waitress, she calmly went over to shoo the mouse away, which made it seem like they see them often. I understand that it's getting warmer and critters are coming indoors, but it definitely grossed me out. Sucks because the food and location were nice. read more

Let me start by saying we absolutely adore that breakfast restaurant chain. This time we visit it in Georgetown area in D.C. this location is sharing the space with local public library, which is great. The food we ordered was mostly great! Greek yogurt/granola was the best. Lemon pancakes were very pretty and come with edible flowers on top. Banana bread was fresh, moist and delicious. Avocado smash was good, even though I wish they use fresh bread for my order. The bread felt stale and chewy. I truly wish they bake their own bread instead of buying it. Coffees and croissant didn't disappoint. The revive was nice and attentive,but felt a bit slow. But it could be just due to the amount of customers. Will be back for sure!! read more

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious from the coffee to the food !! I absolutely loved that you can order and pay everything from your phone !! It makes things like splitting the bill and eating outside that much easier. * * * What we ordered: -Cold brew -Iced mocha -Soft chili scramble with egg (Chili shallot-folded eggs with sheep's milk feta, avocado & sesame seeds topped with chili oil. ) -Brekkie board (half portions of avocado toast with veggies and feta + granola bowl that had Greek yogurt, lemon curd, homemade granola and berries) read more

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. People were inside working on computers while enjoying food and drink. Looks like you used to order at the counter, but now there are QR codes on the tables and your order via app. Food and drinks came quickly. Can't go wrong with Brekkie All Day! The soft chili scramble with avocado was amazing...I now crave it. Portion was large enough for my wife and I to share. Since I have a sweet tooth, I really enjoyed trying the Aussie Iced Latte; who doesn't like a little ice cream with their coffee on a beautiful day. read more

(Very) Bright and airy brunch spot. A little confusing if I was meant to order with the QR code or wait for a server. Had an awesome slice of Gluten Free Banana Bread and a decent almond milk latte. Would come back for the GF banana bread. I had some work to do and no one stopped me from working on my laptop but, would say overall it was more of a sit-down and brunch spot than a caffeinate and co-work cafe. read more

Spectacular place to grab brunch and catch up with friends! The interior of this place is well-designed in regards to its charming décor + thoughtful organization, and provides plenty of natural lighting -- lovely for taking photos. The food itself was incredibly fresh, tasty, and nicely presented and I love how many healthy options are offered on the menu! So far, I have tried the Brekkie Board, Breakfast Bowl, roasted carrots, and chai lattés and was considerably happy with how everything turned out. The chai lattés -- iced and hot -- are divine and the roasted carrots as a side are delicious, sweet, and perfectly sharable. I also appreciated how attentive and informative the servers are. They have been consistently considerate, warm, and inviting every time I have visited. I definitely look forward to trying more brunch foods at this beautiful location and exploring the adjacent West End Library next time! read more

I was trusting my fellow yelpies on this joint but it was subpar to me. My burrito was okay, but my SILs avocado smash toast was delicious that's what is holding the stars here, would definitely recommend that. The golden latte was also subpar.

Throughout the pandemic I've ordered 1-2x a week to support the business. I've had every other order reimbursed partially or entirely due to a mistake. Mistakes have included: missing a drink, adding gluten into non gluten requests, being given something I didn't order because they didn't have what I ordered and they didn't ask if this was okay... it has been a disappointing experience. They've always tried to make it right be reimbursing but the drawback is that you go without a meal or a beverage because of their error. To be fair, when I've visited and ordered in person, everything always comes out right. But they can't get their online ordering right and there's no phone number to call to get someone at the store. That's a huge flaw. With newer businesses opening up in the neighborhood, it's hard to keep supporting this location as much as we have. read more

Saturday afternoon. A few hours to kill. Stumbled into this cafe right next to the hotel where i had just checked out from. Was greeted by a friendly staff member who was kind enough to seat me on a table with power outlet as i expressed my desire to work on my laptop. They've breakfast all day and wide selection of beverages to choose from including smoothies. You can order online or at the counter. I had an avocado toast and a regular cup of magic coffee. One of the servers was a bit weird. Kept on asking me if everything was good - thrice in about an hour. The toast was so so. Coffee was great. May come back again. read more

A very good (if pricey) spot for a healthy breakfast, especially for those of us with food allergies. The soft chili scramble with avocado was creatively yummy - with just a bit of fire. It was under-salted, so the first bite was - oddly- spicy-bland. A little more of the feta in the dish would have helped. Service was attentive, and I loved my a piping hot matcha latte. And I couldn't resist a slice of gluten free banana bread for the road -- delish. read more

My husband and I found our new favorite breakfast spot! First of all the ambiance is great. They have giant glass windows which I love. Their service is amazing with friendly staff who greets you and seats you promptly. The food and lattés are DELICIOUS! Their food is served hot and is super flavorful. I highly recommend checking this place out! My only regret is not finding this restaurant out sooner. read more

Manager or host don't know what her position is, but she has a terrible attitude.

We came here around 8AM on a Friday and we're able to be immediately seated. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful.

The atmosphere is clean and the faux plants added life to the ambiance. read more

Neat space, very bright and airy. Lots of options for brunch- including vegetarian ones. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious!

Was very impressed with my food! Considering my burrito had no meat in it, it was super full of flavor from the buttery sauce. My mocha was very velvety and not too sweet (just how I like it). The room was naturally lit by the sun because of the tall window walls, and the staff was very attentive and caring. Great place to catch up with friends or just to read a book over good food by yourself. read more

Bluestone lane is a great spot, convenient to Foggy Bottom and the West End-- pop in for some good cafe/breakfast food and a delicious coffee in a great neighborhood. Pros: - Delicious food: Food here is delicious. I have gotten croissants, breakfast sandwiches, and avocado toast with eggs. Every item I have purchased here I have thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend. The avocado toast was especially delicious! The coffee is pretty great here as well- various different cold and hot coffee beverages. - Quick service and delivery: Service is always prompt, friendly, and speedy, even when it is a bit crowded. I have been repeatedly impressed by the quality of service that I receive here. - Delivery options: You can order BlueStone lane food and drinks on most major food delivery apps-- every time I have done so, I receive my order perfectly created, in good time as well! - Vegetarian options: Bluestone lane offers several vegetarian options, all of which are delicious. It is easy to avoid meat here. - Convenient location: The location of Bluestone lane is convenient to the west end-- close to George Washington university. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the spot is pleasant and good for people-watching. Super close to the library, as well, so feel free to grab a book and enjoy a great coffee. Cons: No major cons here, really! This is located in a fairly upscale neighborhood, so prices here are not exactly cheap, but also not ridiculously priced either. read more

Our table of four had a terrible Sunday morning breakfast experience in the Spring Valley Bluestone Lane on Massachusetts Ave in DC today. The restaurant was less than half full when we arrived, but no one came to our table for a full half hour, so we had to chase down the server to place our orders. The food, when it finally came, was cold, and the coffee didn't arrive until several minutes after the food. Regular coffees were good, but cappacino and lattes arrived luke warm. After we finished eating, we waited another half hour before having to chase down the server again to ask for the bill. Dirty plates were never removed from the table. Clearly, the servers were not up to the task, but where was the management? read more

I've seen several Bluestone Lane Coffee shops around DC, but came across their cafe in West End recently. Same delicious coffee, but with an extended menu for breakfast and lunch. Located next to the public library, this is a great morning spot to make for breakfast or brunch. Their iced lattes are always a hit, and my go to is iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Perfect balance of sweetness for me without being too overpowering. There are kiosks inside to order from yourself, and within a couple minutes my drink was ready. I hope to come back and dine in next time to try their food! read more

Atmosphere: Bluestone Lane Cafe is a wonderful and bright cafe. The inside is very clean and modern, and there are plenty of windows to let in lots of natural light. Service: We ordered on our phones, which made choosing our meal and paying for our meal easy. Our food came out to our table quickly! Food: We ordered the Brekkie Board, Green Baked Eggs, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and a Matcha Latte. The Brekkie Board came with the Avocado Smash and the Collective Granola, which were presented beautifully. The Avocado Smash was some of the best avocado toast we've ever had and was light, fresh, and came with a great assortment of toppings. The Collective Granola was tasty with the fresh fruits and yogurt. The Green Baked Eggs were warm, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The chimichurri and greens on top of the eggs paired very nicely together. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes had a great kick of zestiness and sourness that wasn't too overwhelming. Lastly, the Matcha Latte wasn't sweet and tasted very earthy.  Overall: We had a fantastic brunch at Bluestone Lane Cafe and undoubtedly would come back again. Our meal's presentation and ingredients were both of high quality, and the atmosphere was so cheery and positive. Even though it is on the pricier side for a brunch, we believe it is worth the cost and we left feeling very full. read more

I met up with a friend here on a Sunday. It was not too crowded, and there was still outdoor seating available. I ordered the mocha. It looked nice, and it did not taste overly sweet (a pleasant surprise). However, similar to some other reviews below, it was not hot at all. It was barely room temperature. I would definitely recommend choosing the extra hot option if you order here. The staff were very nice! But overall my mocha was cold and the flavor average (although I appreciated it was not too sweet). With so many great cafe options in the area, this does not rank high on my list. That being said, I did not try the food, which did smell fragrant when it went by to other tables. Overall, it would get the job done if you had to meet someone here. If you order a drink here, be sure to check the "extra hot" option. read more
