I love the ambience of this place - such a clean look with upscale decor. The staff is super friendly. The Australian dishes are super tasty and healthy and the coffee is incredible! The banana bread is super yummy and can run out - we got lucky! The service is fabulous! read more

Brunch ruined by power trip hostess. I now understand the 1,2,3 star reviews here. This hostess/waitress was incredibly condescending to others in line. There was a long line with the place 1/4 full, she simply walked away from podium, went inside to laugh n gossip while customers continued waiting. When she did address customers, her attitude was quite rude n dismissive. Why such unnecessary hostility from someone who seats guests? She single-handedly dragged down the entire Bluestone Lane cafe experience, which I'm sure she did not care. She has red hair, she is skinny, she is the queen of hospitality. The food may be good, but overall experience so unpleasant who wants to come back? There are many places down the street that understand concept of "basic human decency" read more

I used to love this place. It's gone way downhill. Server got our order wrong because she didn't want to write it down. No one brought us water so I got it myself. No juices (and they've never had them) even though they're on the menu. Food came out randomly. Our 5 year old got his order last even though we asked that it come out first. When we added a hot chocolate with the server, nothing came out after 15 minutes. So I walked in. There were 5 staff behind the counter. 3 were on their smartphones. 2 were joking with each other. When I finally got one of their attention, I asked about the drink. They said it would come out. Kiddo needed to go to the bathroom. Floorboards were rotten and torn on the walk over. Grimy, gross sink with that film on the door that you see in dive bars. We wait 10 minutes. Still no drink. I go back in with the boy and stand over the the barista so that they'd hand us a hot chocolate. Food was good, but with service and ambience like that, might as well go to a Starbucks. The menu will be current, the drinks will come out fast, the bathrooms won't be grimy, and the servers will give you the time of day. read more

I recently stopped by Bluestone Lane in Los Altos to try their new Mezza Plate, paired with an oat milk latte on the side. The dish featured a colorful assortment of arugula, halloumi cheese, smoked salmon, boiled eggs, and a tomato-based chickpea mix with peppers and olives. While the ingredients sounded promising and the presentation was appealing, the overall flavor profile was decent but not particularly memorable. The service, unfortunately, felt a bit disorganized during my visit. Most of the staff were warm and accommodating, though one moment stood out when a server carried three customer drinks by hand without a tray, which honestly felt a little unsafe and chaotic in a busy dining environment. That said, the ambience is where this location truly shines. The space is incredibly cozy, inviting, and thoughtfully designed , perfect for catching up with family or spending a relaxed afternoon with friends. It's also very baby-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for casual group outings or family brunches. read more

It was our first time and was impressed with the service provided. We showed up for lunch. My wife ordered a sandwich and I ordered their wrap. We decided to sit on their outdoor deck and enjoy the beautiful weather. I made the mistake of ordering my matcha latte with regular milk, but they were very kind and replaced it with another one with oat milk at no cost. Will stop by again to try out their other items. So far so good. PS: my apologies for the plate photos, we were hungry and took the photos after a few bites read more

What happened to Bluestone? Service is horrible. We had to flag someone down to be seated, even though staff saw us waiting. Server was helpful with the menu, but our drinks never came. She never returned and had to flag someone down to pay. They didn't even bother to refund our drinks. We asked to speak to someone and got a shrug and a "Can't do anything about it." Okay... never going back. read more

Just came in for breakfast. They have no staff, only one person working, 25 people had to leave. Very poor management.

Service is bad. Ordered. B.L.A.T.E with no Avocado cuz i was allergic. They served it asking "no avocado?" So i thought they really took it out. Luckily i check my food before eating it. Avocado was indeed not removed. When we called them to let them know they didn't even apologize and straight up just took the plate back and replaced the bottom bun. Was itching while eating it. Also for a brioche bun the bun i got was hard af. First and last time coming here i guess. Weirdest service ever. Only reason im giving a star is cuz their potato wedges are good but thats pretty much it. read more

Pricey but cute! We came to do inkind credits which unfortunately are defunct now. The berry smoothie was refreshing and the patio area is really cute, otherwise the drinks were just okay. There were huge rats on the patio tho which were scary but it was like a zoo. Service was nice, the staff tried to help me troubleshoot the inKind credits but no luck. read more

Good location in Los Altos downtown, good view, good selection of brunch. Food presentation is also decent. It's a nice place to hang out for morning birds however I expected a restaurant in such prime location could surprise me more than others. I feel the staff could be more proactive than hanging out. Also I felt the ordering process could be more straightforward, when we got there we were confused by the QR code on what we've ordered. Anyways, I'm sure it's just this one time thing, and I look forward to visit again to change my score here. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite as I had an appointment in the area. Food: I ordered the breakfast bowl sans feta and with spiced chicken and dressing on the side as I like to have less dressing with my salads. I have to say my biggest pet peeve is dry chicken so when I first saw the bowl I was a little underwhelmed...but after taking the first bite I was very surprised! The chicken was perfectly cooked and tender, lightly spiced. Lemon vinaigrette was not overpoweringly citrusy too even though I added most of the dressing!! Only thing is, I'm what one might call a certified big back and was pretty hungry and hoping for a hearty serving, but unfortunately wasn't completely satisfied after my meal. I wish their portion size was a bit bigger. Would definitely order again though! I also ordered a matcha latte with simple syrup. They definitely don't skimp on the matcha, the latte was STRONG with matcha flavor. Decent quality too as far as I can tell. Ambiance: stunning property with lots of flowers outside, cute blue ocean themed interior decor, outdoor seating available, though I opted to sit inside Service: you can scan and order yourself which was what I did and the service was friendly, fast and professional. Would come back again! read more

Came in on a reservation on Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy but it's definitely understaffed. The staff is very friendly but just too busy to be checking up on you. My friend and I both got the BL burrito but mine looked drastically different (granted they did forget her order so they made it look nice to make up for it). The pictures I took is exactly how it arrived. It was quite plain and nothing special especially considering the price point- would not order again. We also got the lemon ricotta pancakes which were pretty good but a bit too crispy. Overall, cute place but way too understaffed and food is just alright. read more

The food here is very good. Our party was for 6 people and it was our second visit. I loved my avocado toast. It was customized with my favorite cheese. The bread was so fresh and healthy with a brown crust. I also ordered a Hibiscus Ice tea that was refreshing. Unfortunately the service was spotty and most of the time one of us had to get up and find our server. Also there were problems getting our reservation ( no one answers the phone) and putting up with a dirty unisex bathroom. So not sure if we will return. read more

Bluestone Lane Los Altos Café - The Smash--Avocado toast with provolone cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

I've been a frequent customer, which makes this experience especially disappointing. I ordered my food and politely asked the woman serving me (a ginger waitress) for a glass of water, only to have her completely brush me off and carry on with her business as if I didn't exist. I eventually had to get a cup and water myself from another table. Imagine being a paying customer and having to serve yourself because an employee can't be bothered to fulfill the simplest request. It was WATER, not an unreasonable demand. Basic courtesy and hospitality should be the bare minimum, and this was an embarrassing failure on both fronts. One interaction completely ruined my experience and made me question why I should continue spending my money here. Management seriously needs to do better. read more

This was my first time ever here and wow was it ever packed on a Wednesday around 10 AM!! Apparently nobody works! Lol Everything was incredibly clean and open seating area. I really like the nautical clean look!! Since everything was packed at all the tables, my friend and I decided to get some drinks to go. Sadly, I'm lactose intolerant, so I tried their mango Matcha! I was surprised it already came with an oat milk and not a cow milk, right off the bat!! The Matcha was really good with a kick of mango and I really enjoyed my drink!! I can't wait to come back and try the food!! read more

Actually 3.5 stars but rounded up. Food: - chicken avocado sandwich 4/5 - bacon, turkey club 5/5 - warm chicken bowl 3/5 chicken was not moist, everything else was good - brekkie meal 3/5 Service: They seemed to be short staff and chaotic. Water came pretty late. We need to keep flagging them down and forgetting our requests. Waiter says hot brew has free refills but it's not true. When you order hot brew, for the same price you can order 12 or 16 oz, just order 16 oz. No refills needed. 16 oz is plenty of coffee. Ambiance: We enjoyed sitting in the patio. It's low key environment and relaxing. read more

I came here for breakfast at 7:15 AM, and while the coffee is so great, the music is so loud blaring on the speakers early in the morning. I wasn't planning to come back here again for breakfast, but I needed to drop off my car for service across the street. To the owner, I'd recommend you come here at 7:15 in the morning and enter your own disco to see what it's like. At least give the staff the ability to lower the volume a bit so early in the morning. read more

Stopped by Bluestone Lane for brunch, and the vibes were just as vibrant as the food. The avocado toast with smoked salmon was generously topped and paired beautifully with the herby green sauce--definitely one of the better avo toasts I've had lately. The pancakes were a fun contrast: fluffy, topped with fresh fruit and edible flowers, and served in a mini skillet that made it feel extra indulgent. Drinks were equally photo-worthy and refreshing, orange juice, berry smoothie, and a pot of earl grey tea that matched the coastal color palette of the tea cup (always a plus). Everything felt curated and relaxing, from the presentation to the friendly service. Great for: laid-back mornings, catching up with friends, or treating yourself to a pretty plate that actually delivers on taste. read more

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We had elderly family members and young kids with us, people who shouldn't have to sit through an hour of chaos just to get a meal, and Bluestone ruined our entire day. It took 10 minutes just to get someone's attention to be seated. Then another 15 minutes passed before anyone bothered to take our order. We ordered four dishes. Only two showed up. Forty minutes later, when we finally asked where the rest of our food was, the staff acted surprised. They'd never put in the order for the other two dishes. No urgency, no apology, just a shrug and a blank stare. Then one of the two dishes that did arrive was the wrong order. By now we'd completely lost our appetite, so we asked to cancel the last dish that still hadn't come. Ten minutes later, it showed up anyway. When we told the server we no longer wanted it, he didn't even register a reaction. No concern, no apology, nothing. That's the part that stuck with us most: at no point did anyone acknowledge that anything had gone wrong. Not a single "I'm sorry," not one attempt to fix it. Just total indifference while our family sat there hungry and frustrated for over an hour. If you're looking for a meal where the staff actually cares whether you have a good experience, this is not the place. We won't be returning. read more

Came here for brunch around 11:45 - ordered the half avocado toast / parfait combo with an iced latte. Latte was great - parfait was nice as well (nothing unique). We also ordered some drip coffee and americanos which were great - love the coffee they have. Service was very slow with no one checking in on us and us having to try to flag someone down for the check. Beyond this, they forgot one of our items, and it took a few minutes to grab ahold of someone to fix this. Outdoor seating is wonderful - great vibe with a lot of seating. The indoor area also seemed nice and well spread out. Overall, this won't be my go-to due to slow service but would definitely come back. read more

Bluestone Lane Los Altos Café - Avocado smash with bacon and egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

came here for a late breakfast on a weekday. the bluestone lane parking lot was packed though fortunately there's a public parking lot right across the way with open spots. the restaurant has ample indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away and provided water. Ordered the brekki avocado toast and lemon ricotta pancake with a side of bacon. ordered an 8 ounce flat white and 12 ounce mocha. the avocado toast with smoked salmon and a poached egg is generous and quite filling. same with the lemon pancake. very fluffy with a perfect passionfruit curd that is both tart and sweet. served with some fresh, sweet berries and came with maple syrup. all of it was delicious. The 3 stars is that the coffees were just meh. The mocha had good quality chocolate, not to bitter nor too sweet, though i couldn't taste an espresso or coffee. it was like high end hot chocolate. The flat white was ok. it also was the last item to come out when we ordered, which is a little surprising as typically most places bring the drinks out right away. the side of bacon was disappointing and not worth getting. service is friendly though they are busy and they had one server for a fairly large area to cover. Definitely some highlights along with a few misses. read more

super underwhelming experience at bluestone lane. my friend had to use her $100 resy credit so we decided to check this place out. they told people in front of us that they dont take walk ins because they are understaffed so they only take reservations. not all tables were seated when we walked in but it took a while to get our orders taken. we ordered two BL burritos, one lemon ricotta pancake, and the mushroom grilled cheese w/ side of halloumi. half our order came and after 10 mins I asked the server where the other half was and they forgot to put the other half of our order in??? was super confusing. the first burrito we got was sooo disappointing lacked flavor and was thrown on a plate. the second burrito that came like 15 mins after the first burrito was completely different. they brought out sauces and the burrito actually had some flavor. not sure if they put extra effort because they forgot to bring it out which they did comp, but the difference in quality of the same dish was crazy. the lemon ricotta pancake was just a pancake nothing special. the pumpkin spice latte had no pumpkin taste and needed an extra espresso shot. starbucks is better. the lot is small so recommend parking in the parking lot across from the restaurant. cute vibes but honestly don't recommend. this honestly deserved a 2, but i gave them a 3 because they comped the late burrito order and were nice. read more

Really disappointing experience at Bluestone Lane. The espresso machine being down wasn't a big deal since we'd already had coffee, but when we tried to order fresh juice, we were told they didn't have it, and that they've apparently never had it, per our server. I ordered an orange juice and my friend got a smoothie. Our food came out quickly, but our drinks never did. We asked multiple times and kept being told they were coming, but they never showed up. We ate our entire meal without any drinks. We eventually asked to have the drinks removed from the bill and just paid for the food. What made it worse was the lack of acknowledgment. No real apology or urgency from the staff. Not the level of service you'd expect. read more

The café has a bright and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. My wife really enjoyed her pumpkin spice latte, and the espresso itself was smooth and well balanced, so the coffee and overall vibe were definitely the highlight of the visit. The food felt more on the fast casual side than what the stylish café setting would lead you to expect. The BL Burrito looked appealing at first, but most of the filling was actually potato wedges, so it felt lighter on the other ingredients than I expected. The Smoked Chicken & Greens Salad had chicken with a soft, pre-cooked or canned texture rather than a freshly grilled feel. The potato wedges had good seasoning, though they seemed like they had been sitting warm for a while. The side pancakes were fluffy but not very warm and the flavor was pretty mild. It's a very nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee, and I would come back for the drinks and the atmosphere. I would just be more selective with my food choices next time. read more

Was back here after a long while of dining here... the restaurant ordering style changed from order at counter to a sit-down menu restaurant. We were a party of 4 and were advised that the table was reserved for lunch time and we needed to be done by 11:45AM which was great to know but was ample time for us to finish our breakfast get together. I ordered the granola/avocado toast combo, which was great for me but the price tag of $19, didn't really justify the amount of serving but I guess that may be a fair price these days!!! The latte was great tasting and the smaller one was just a perfect size for me. The disappointment was none of the serving staff checked on our meal or dining experience or offered extra water at the table. Not a great impression on customer experience or care... Changed my second coffee meet up for the week to Redberry coffee down the road instead! read more

We visited on a Saturday morning and noticed plenty of open tables both inside and outside. Since we had a toddler with us, we asked for an outdoor table, but were told those were reserved. When we then requested a booth indoors, that too was denied for the same reason. Strangely, during the 45m-1hr we were there, none of those "reserved" tables were ever occupied--they remained empty the entire time. To add to the frustration, another family who arrived after us was seated outdoors without issue. The experience felt disheartening and, frankly, discriminatory. I don't think I will return for this very reason. As for the food, it was decent, though I personally didn't enjoy the coffee, which had a chocolate-like aftertaste. read more
