I was around the corner watching my husband run in the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon with my run club when we all decided to go grab something warm to drink. Thankfully Bluestone Lane was around the corner and open for business! I used their kiosk to order, which I soon would regret. Yes, it made ordering quicker and easier, however it doesn't have an accurate record of what is in stock... I ordered a latte as well as a chocolate croissant, and was very unhappy to be told that they were out of chocolate croissants AFTER I had already paid... I was handed a plain croissant instead and was not given the option to exchange it or choose to bypass it for a refund instead. This was a bummer. Otherwise, their coffee was really good! I'm very picky with how I like my coffee, so this says a lot. Additionally, their cafe was clean, there was ample seating and also a restroom for patrons to use (which myself and my fellow run club members were extremely grateful for!). read more

Fast and reliable for takeaway and they have a golden latte option which is nice! Vibes are a bit dismal though at this location if you're trying to sit in, it's loud and has a strange layout that makes the experience feel crowded. The seating is limited. Standard expensive NYC prices, convenient location if you're on the way to or from Bryant Park and Grand Central. read more

Visited this location on a weekend, so it was fairly empty and we had no issues finding seats. Ordered on the tablet, and drinks were ready quickly. I got the iced strawberry matcha, which comes with almond milk and homemade strawberry syrup. It was okay, less strawberry syrup than some other places. Not my first choice for matcha in this immediate area, but it's often hard to find seating at that place. I do like that they give Tim Tams out with the coffee here. read more

Stopped in here while visiting the area and appreciated the Aussie aesthetic of this Australian-themed coffee shop. It's actually rare in NYC to find a café that provides space for customers to sit and use the restroom, so that was a nice perk. The staff were kind and quick. This spot leans toward simplicity with very basic coffee and espresso drinks rather than elaborate or overly sweet options. I didn't mind my iced latte, though the espresso flavor wasn't my personal favorite, but it was still decent. My partner was disappointed with the lack of flavor/sweetness after adding their honey cinnamon syrup. Pastries and food items look great, did didn't try yet. Overall, it seems like a better fit for people who enjoy the natural notes of coffee or espresso rather than those looking for sweeter, dessert-style drinks. read more

I went here August 5th, 2025, so I would need to visit again to review it better, but I remember it being good and busy. The BEC on a croissant was good. The only issue was the matcha was too milky, as you can see it looks very white in the picture, but besides that, it was a nice place to get a quick snack or small meal near Bryant Park. I would go again. :) read more

I was very disappointed with my experience here. I ordered an avocado toast and a coffee and ended up waiting around twenty minutes, even though the place was relatively empty at the time. For a café that positions itself as a casual but efficient spot, this wait time felt excessive and poorly managed. The seating situation is also not great. There are very few places to sit, which already makes the experience less comfortable, especially when you are waiting that long for a simple order. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it at all. This was honestly the worst avocado toast I have ever had. It was just stale bread topped with basic guacamole and spicy oil, with no freshness, no balance, and no effort put into it. For the price, this is simply unacceptable. The coffee was good, but nothing exceptional. It was a solid espresso, but it is also quite hard to mess that up, so it did not really stand out or justify the overall experience. Everything felt overpriced for what was served. In the end, I paid close to thirty dollars including tip, which makes the disappointment even stronger. For that price point, I expect decent food, reasonable waiting times, and a minimum level of comfort. Unfortunately, this visit did not deliver on any of that, and I would not come back. read more

My sister and I ordered 2 matchas, one blueberry and one vanilla. They gave us a matcha and a latte. We're not very confrontational so my sister told me to take a sip and if I liked it to keep drinking it I took a sip and decided that's not what I wanted and went to say something and that's when the guy at the counter said no and that I ordered a latte and charged me to make another even though it was his mistake. read more

This review is just for the matcha cloud. We tried a few of the matcha cloud drinks and they did not look like the advertisement at all. I got the mango matcha and it tasted more like mango, with minimal matcha. The service was fast and they have some seating inside. read more

The place is clean but not too well thought of. The seating space is too close to the register area. I feel that maybe some coffee decor/products for sale should be relocated and push that table back. The layout just doesn't make much sense. The service is decent for the most part. I walked in and one person seemed like she was absolutely miserable. I had asked if my pick up order was ready and she even mugged me. I don't get why. Then another associate saw this and came towards me right away to assist me. Once I picked up my order I realized that I had a birthday treat on the rewards section of the app. The cashier took my order and even gave me an extra pastry at no extra cost. The parties were delicious. I had got the almond croissant and chocolate one for my daughter. I was happy to receive them as they were so good and not dry. The coffee was not the greatest though I think I will try a different one. I had cold brew. -PRO TIP- Download the app and you get $5 towards a birthday treat. So definitely input your birthday. You even get a free coffee item when you download for the first time. read more

After a red eye and long travel, the first thing we craved was coffee. Being familiar with Bluestone Lane beans, as one we enjoyed thanks to shipping, we located this one near our hotel and went right over. The facade was under construction, but the interior was very nice if a little uncomfortable with hard stools. They had one table outside, so to enjoy the fresh air we went there. The place had a constant stream of customers who seemed like they worked nearby. Staff was friendly and welcoming to explain the menu. We got various coffees, two salads, and some pastries. Everything was fresh and delicious - I realized quickly how much I miss East Coast produce. Prices were expected for the heart of NYC. This was a high mark for our coffee stops in the city; it's worth stopping in for an affordable and delicious quick meal, drink, or snack. read more

Pros: the Melbourne beeline tea is bitter in a really good way. My friend got an avocado toast and an iced coffee. Clean. Close to our hotel. Cons: service was Grumpy. read more

I wanted to try this place because it was listed to have gluten-free treats and I was in the area. Unfortunately they only had banana bread and I wasn't feeling it. I ordered a Salmon toast on gluten free bread. It was delicious! The bread was not grocery store freezer aisle bread like in many places. The cream cheese was delicious. The salmon however was not enough but for the price that's minor. I also had a hibiscus tea it was tea nothing special. The person at the register was helpful and knew the menu and made great recommendations and gave out nice compliments. It's a cute place to come sit and maybe people watch and have a snack! I will return if I am in the area. Also location in yelp directs you to 6th street but it's actually on 43rd! read more

Baristas here are phenomena!!! super friendly and welcoming every morning :)) shout out Dre & Nick :)

Excellent drinks and friendly service! The ambiance was very pleasant and comfortable as I waited for my train.

I went out of my comfort zone and ordered a drink from the specialty menu (strawberry cheesecake matcha). I asked the barista to describe the drink and they went above and beyond to describe matcha, and the other speciality drinks. They were super friendly and made me feel welcome! Special thanks to Ann & Nick! read more

I absolutely love this cafe. On Saturday mornings, I have the tendency to stop by here. The service is top notch. If I wasn't in a rush to meet someone, I would sit there and read ebooks on my kindle. No one bothers me or say anything while I do this. I had seen other customers reading the newspapers while drinking their coffee. I definitely recommend stopping by here when you are in the area. read more

Walked in first time and it was so cute , love the vibe and tried the smoothie was so good

The coffee might be phenomenal here, but I will never know. Midtown workday morning in a busy location, only two people on staff. While the touchscreen POS in store is simple and elegant, its line grew exponentially as 1/2 staff simultaneously took old school cashier orders. The one remaining poor barista couldn't possibly keep pace. After 20min, the man who came in just before I did asked for his money back. His situation took time to discuss with that same 1/2 staff, I don't know whether his case was resolved. I couldn't stand the wait any longer and so left. I'm still dreaming of the latte thatI forwent. Got a drip coffee down the street, which was mediocre but timely. I gave them 3 stars. read more

My friends and I stopped here for a quick lunch after exploring the Bryant Park Winter Village and in short, we were disappointed. We would have been better off going to an actual brunch place, where we would have paid the same amount of money for better food. I appreciated the kiosks to order food, which provided images of our options. Unfortunately, there were a lack of food options to entertain us, but I was still able to become excited for my smoked salmon toast with a latte. The photos were very misleading as to what we actually received. My small piece of toast was barely covered with thin slices of smoked salmon and the poached egg, was the smallest egg I have ever seen. Although I will admit that the egg was perfectly poached. My latte was also presented to me in a small cup that was not even close to filled. read more

My partner took me here after he shared just how much he loved the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. I got the same order as him, along with a regular latte with whole milk. The coffee was absolutely fantastic but I thought the sandwich was nothing special. I could've made the same thing back home with Costco croissants. There was too much bacon and egg, and not enough cheese which was sad. One thing I do applaud is that they used real eggs instead of the carton scrambled eggs, which I absolutely despise. Overall, between the two of us, the order included two of the sandwiches, a medium latte, and a large cold brew and cost ~$40, which was ridiculous. I'm going to stick to a bagel place for a sandwich next time and just come by here for coffee. read more

Too few staff and too few cares. Doughnut was stale. Coffee was just not good. The blue stone will make you blue.

Love this place!!! Great food, not too busy, and Annie and Eli are the most friendly employees and made our day.

Anny was kind and did amazing service! One of the best Matcha in NYC! I recommend the place if you are around 43 St!

This is such a cute and lowkey cafe! If I had had the time, I would've loved to come here and study. My boyfriend ordered the Aussie iced latte and I got a vanilla iced latte. Both had a very strong coffee flavor. I thought mine was okay; I enjoyed my boyfriend's drink a bit more since it was sweeter and creamier. We also got the banana bread. It doesn't look like much but it is super dense and flavorful! It was different from any banana bread I've ever tasted. Overall, this place is probably not the best for a sweet and creamy drink lover like me, but I can see why people like it! read more

I have gone to Bluestone Lane infrequently for about six years. I like their Astor Place location and also the LES spot that is now closed. I think their coffee is generally excellent. This location makes me wonder whether Bluestone is in decline. The space is genuinely lovely, the baked item I had was flavorful, and the guy who took my order was basically friendly and seemed to care. The rest of the staff appear disorganized and disinterested. The scent of the floor cleaner they were mopping with was strong enough that it would overpower or erase the experience of tasting the food. I waited 20 minutes for a breakfast sandwich that never came. It's strange to go to the trouble of making an inviting environment where people can sit down but then destroy the experience of sitting there - Bluestone Lane is not alone in NYC for this. I would give one star, but the coffee was strong, and the guy at the register seemed to care. With a tip I spent close to $30. Probably my last time at this one. read more

I ordered the salmon toast and it was such a huge disappointment. They only put not even a complete slice of salmon on the toast. The photos they have online and from what I previously ordered from other locations would give a load of salmon. However, this location is completely inaccurate of what should have been given from their other photos. Such a rip off. Don't waste your money. Literally eating cream cheese toast with a garnish of salmon for $9.90 read more
