We stopped by Bluestone Lane on the Fourth of July weekend, so we expected a long wait because the café was packed. To our surprise, we were seated almost immediately at a clean table, even though we were with a child. The service was friendly, attentive, and everything came out much faster than we expected. The food looked just as good as it tasted. The smoked salmon and avocado toast was fresh and perfectly balanced, the spinach breakfast wrap was light but filling, and the yogurt bowl with fresh berries made a great addition to the meal. The coffee was excellent, and the iced matcha was refreshing on a warm day. The atmosphere is bright, relaxed, and perfect for a slow breakfast or brunch near the beach. Even with a full house, the staff stayed organized and never made us feel rushed. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manhattan Beach. read more

I was a fan of Bluestone Lane when I used to live in NY but I'm not sure what changed exactly but this LA version isn't so great. It doesn't help that there are better cafes in the area.. Verve and Goodboy Bob are both superior.. read more

Wonderful place for quick service or table service the option is yours. We love the drink selections for kids. There's more than just hot chocolate which we appreciate. My kids devoured the keen green smoothie (banana, mango, kale, chia seeds, almond butter). The athletes burrito was delicious and so lean and healthy. We also like the breakkie board. 1/2 granola yogurt parfait and 1/2 avo toast. Now on to the beach we left so satisfied. read more

Saturday morning service was -100000/10. It was incredibly busy, and it felt like the server had completely forgotten about us until I got up and asked for an update on our food almost 45 min after ordering. Avocado toast was soggy as if it had been sitting out for hours. BL big brekkie was served on toast, also soggy from sitting under the flavorless spinach and mushroom mix. Bacon on the dish tasted worse than what you'd get at a cheap model continental breakfast. The plain black coffee served in a glass jar with no handle. Imagine my surprise when I nearly burned my fingers off picking it up to pour in the cup. The ice in my husband's cold brew was floating at the top half melted when it came to the table and made it horribly watered down. Sadly disappointing experience. Won't be back. read more

Stopped by this little coffee shop in Manhattan Beach and had a great experience. The soft chili scramble with avocado was a slam dunk for me! It was super flavorful, beautifully presented, and a really generous portion. The truffle cheese sandwich was also tasty and comforting. Drinks were a mix: the matcha latte and affogato were both good, while the PB protein smoothie was just okay. The ambiance is bright and relaxing, and the staff is friendly, which makes the whole visit feel easy and enjoyable. Would definitely come back for the food and vibes. read more

I was able to get an affogato at 7 PM, which I really appreciated since most cafés stop serving coffee much earlier in the day. The space is brightly lit and comfortable, with self-serve water and napkins already set out on each table, clearly designed to keep things moving smoothly. It's nice to have options in the area where not everything open in the evening is just a bar or restaurant. The affogato was good, and my boyfriend enjoyed his espresso, describing it as muted in a good way and nicely balanced. They close at 8 PM, which makes it a great early-mid evening stop. read more

After walking up and down for a while I needed a cold drink. I walked in to this place and immediately was greeted by the friendliest employees here. After looking at their menu I decided to get a smoothie that sounded delicious. And it sure was. Perfectly made. I enjoyed every sip. The menu has variety of smoothies, coffee drinks, food items and more. It's a cafe that's offers a lot. Beautiful spacious with lots of seating. Great customer service. A must try when in the area. I'll be back again for sure. read more

Same great taste and ambience as a few years ago when we discovered this Manhattan Beach gem. Uriel and Lennon welcomed us back from Indiana with open arms and sat us on the cozy patio. Amy ordered a cappuccino which Lennon topped off with a signature European cocoa finish that made the drink even more special. We split the athlete's burrito and a side of pancakes and berries. Compliments to the chef. Thanks for making our spring break memory one to last a lifetime! Cheers! read more

I came here on a Sunday for lunch and there was no wait. Service was a bit slow, but friendly. There was only one bathroom which was dirty and old looking. Definitely did not match their nice blue interior. Berry Brekkie Smoothie (3/5): refreshing, but berries had a very light flavor, tasted watered down Spiced Chicken Wrap (4/5): changed the kale to arugula and definitely a good alternative, the arugula was fresh with the vinaigrette, chicken was pretty good read more

You feel seen at Bluestone--definitely a place where every customer matters. I received wonderful treatment even when it got busy. It was great to have a seat towards the back and still get all the lighting from outside.

My overall thoughts on this restaurant was "meh". I wasn't too impressed with either of the chicken sandwiches. They were just alright. The service itself was also alright. The servers were nice, but they weren't really checking in with us and we had to call them over. The highlight for me was the strawberry matcha which tasted light and refreshing. As for ambiance, it looks like a nice, casual place to grab some lunch and it's in a great location. read more

Such a cute spot right in the middle of Manhattan beach. The beet latte was surprisingly and amazingly delicious. Who knew this vegetable would make sense as a latte and not just a smoothie? The first sip was a bit odd but once your brain gets over the connection, I swear it's basically like a rose milk tea but beet flavored and a bit heavier in texture. Definitely give it a try! I definitely thought the matcha pancakes looked like those fluffy Japanese ones in the photo and was extremely disappointed that they weren't. That's my mistake so don't make the same one. They were super flat and a little on the dry side. But the picture definitely shows a difference even in the presentation- no orchid and no raspberries. The matcha ricotta sauce felt like the pancake batter and gave a tiny bit of sweetness to the pancakes but it was not an appetizing pour. Anyways, you've been warned! The service is great and the space is so welcoming. You can order with the QR code on the table and the drinks and food arrived pretty quickly. It's all metered parking so it's a cute spot if you're planing on shopping in the area and going to the beach. read more

I came here twice while I was staying in Manhattan Beach for a few days. The location is great and the place has a nice vibe. The first time, I ordered a green juice and a burrito. The burrito tasted good, though I wish I had added more protein. Overall, it was solid and enjoyable. The second visit was a bit disappointing. I ordered a breakfast bowl, but it wasn't great. The kale was very tough and hard to chew, and the bowl ended up being extremely kale-heavy with only a small amount of quinoa and just one egg. I couldn't finish most of it because of that. The coffee was okay, nothing special. Food-wise, I'd give it about a 3.5-star rating, but I do want to mention that the guy who served me was really nice and friendly, which definitely made the experience better. read more

I absolutely love coming to Bluestone Lane. The manhattan beach location is my absolute favorite. The staff is always kind and attentive. Uriel always goes out of his way to ensure everyone is taken care of in a timely fashion. Everyone on staff has amazing energy. They check in often. The wait is never too long. It makes complete sense as to why the place is packed most of the time. I use to live in Sydney, Australia and this place truly encapsulates the Australian chill beach vibes. The coffee reminds me so much of Australian coffee. The flat white keeps me coming back at least weekly! The food is also delicious! You feel healthy eating anything off the menu. So grateful for the staff, the environment, the location (right by the beach!!)! And they're dog friendly. I mean, it doesn't get any better. read more

This was a cute place with a nice, light breakfast. My son said they have the best roast and jam ever, so we will be back

Some restaurants feel like you're walking into someone's living room. Bluestone Lane Manhattan Beach Cafe feels like you've walked into someone's sunroom. It's bright, breezy, coastal, and, somehow, immediately lifts your mood--before you've even sat down or pretended to read the menu. The blues are crisp, the whites are soft, the light is generous, and if happiness had a color palette, it would look suspiciously similar to this dining room. You sit down against the banquette and suddenly feel healthier than you actually are. Something about the air, the energy, and the fact that everyone around you looks like they've already completed some form of intense Pilates. This is a place that practically whispers: order something organic. And that's exactly what we did. First up--coffee. Bluestone Lane is known for treating coffee like an identity, not a beverage. Their espresso machine is a La Marzocco that probably costs more than my car, and based on the texture of the crema alone, I believe it earns its keep. The roast itself leans somewhere between comfort and clarity--medium, warm, direct, and thoughtfully balanced. It's the kind of coffee you drink while nodding to yourself as if you understand the subtleties of beans, origin, and soil pH. Now, let's talk about the pancakes. These aren't your normal diner pancakes, or hotel brunch pancakes, or "I'll just make them at home" pancakes. These are lemon ricotta pancakes--and they arrive in a mini cast iron skillet, as if they were baked in someone's hearth in a cottage overlooking the Mediterranean. They're fluffy. They're cloud-like. They're topped with fresh berries, and most importantly, orchids. Yes. Actual orchids. We ate flowers for breakfast. And we didn't even hesitate. The server laughed when I asked if this was encouraged, but she didn't intervene, and that felt like consent. Then we took a deep dive into the avocado toast. This isn't minimalist avocado toast. This is architectural avocado toast. A massive scoop of avocado--almost guacamole--but not quite--crowning a bed of rustic bread, flanked by vegetables. Real vegetables. Not garnish-vegetables. Poached eggs perched on top, peppered lightly, seasoned precisely, and achieving that elusive balance known officially as: "how did they make this taste healthy and indulgent at the same time?" The mushrooms were a quiet triumph--earthy, tender, and clearly sautéed by someone who respects fungi on a spiritual level. The atmosphere is everything a coastal breakfast spot should be: bright but calming, contemporary but comforting, energetic but not chaotic. It somehow manages to feel spacious despite being relatively modest in size, and there's this life-giving sense of flow--locals grabbing cappuccinos, couples lingering over brunch, visitors taking photos of pancakes because they have orchids on them and how could you not? Service is friendly in a way that feels genuine, not performative. Light-hearted conversations, quick laughs, easy smiles. There's a sense that everyone working here is--at minimum--happy to be at the beach, and more likely thrilled that someone else is doing the dishes. Their menu is full of vegetarian and health-forward options, and the kitchen executes them with intention rather than obligation. Nothing feels like the "healthy" option--it all just feels like the right option. And while the café focuses on breakfast and lunch, you can walk in just for coffee, which feels like a public service. There's a casual rhythm that makes it ideal for both an energizing start and a not-so-rushed midday meal. It's the kind of cafe that makes you want to sit just a little longer--even after your plate is empty--just to absorb the good vibes attached to the soft white paint and balanced espresso. All in all, Bluestone Lane is a bright, airy, subtly fun experience disguised as a café. It's cheerful without trying, attractive without posing, and satisfying without weighing you down. If you want brunch that feels fresh, contemporary, and slightly aspirational, this is the place. Especially if you're finally ready to eat an orchid. read more

Spotted the "Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha" sign and blacked out--next thing I knew, I was $10 poorer and holding what tasted like dessert and caffeine had a beautiful beach baby. Was it mostly ice? Yes. Did I inhale it like a gremlin who hadn't seen hydration in days? Also yes. Zero regrets. The staff? Absolute gems. Let us lounge at the dine-in tables while we waited for our orders. Bless them. The place is cute, chill, and the kind of aesthetic that makes you feel like you have your life together--even if you're covered in sand and poor decisions. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for ages until finally decided to come to Bluestone Lane today for brunch. We were seated in the patio area, the day was perfect . This place is beautiful and fun. Our waiter was very kind and patient. Coffee was delicious. I had a mocha and my friend a latte. I ordered the soft chili scramble with avocado. It looked so beautiful that i didn't want to eat it. After taking several pictures, i finally decided to put my fork and knife on it and devoured it all. It was exquisite, packed of flavors. A bit spicy next time I will ask for less chili flakes. My friend had the burrito. I want to come back ASAP. read more

Lovely breakfast place right on the main strip facing Manhattan Beach pier. Everyone inside was very friendly and gracious, and getting a table for breakfast on a Saturday morning wasn't much of a hassle. The whole menu is pretty simple featuring many breakfast items like eggs and pancakes as well as lunch-facing sandwiches and salads. The menu carefully keeps things simple but teases you with tempting gourmet ingredients. I went for simple hotcakes which came with a lemon butter and fruit topping. The coffee here is surprisingly good and there's a huge variety of coffee options. Some of items on the menu suggest that the restaurant features Australian items though nothing (aside from vegemite) seemed too challenging. The menu is a little pricey but at least you're getting quality ingredients for the cost. read more

Stopped in for the first time while walking around Manhattan Beach. Really liked the layout - there is outside and inside seating with plenty of space. Really nice vibe inside, too. You can grab a table to sit and eat or order at the counter for to-go. We were just stopping in for a couple of coffees, but the food menu had some great options. The staff was excellent and so helpful! Took the time to actually ask what we liked and didn't. Our coffees were delicious! Hit the spot. Highly recommend the dirty iced chai - so, so good! We were all very happy we stopped in and would come back again. read more
