the BLATE was amazing!! as was the strawberry matcha!! This place is super cute and hidden inside the church next to it and right across central park! Great if you're needing a spot close to the MET or central park or just walking around museum mile. Also perfect for brunch/ breakfast. There's some seating inside and some seating outside and on the weekends it is always busy. Service is great. Be prepared to wait awhile as not sure if you can make reservations and it was very busy when I went. Tables come and go pretty fast though.
Located right across the street from Engineers Gate its a nifty spot for runners to grab a healthy bite and tasty iced coffee after a training run around the park. The Athletes Breakfast Burrito with a mixed greens salad hit the spot. We had nice service, got a table pretty quickly even on a crowded weekend morning, and never felt rushed. Bonus was scoring an outside table on a beautiful day. Menu has more than enough to choose from for a small cafe in a church setting. It's a smaller menu but fits well here. I also thought prices were ok and pretty much representative of the area. No complaints as I've never had a bad experience here. Plus, they have a decent bathroom too.
We came here during the coldest day in NYC. The staff and waiters/waitresses are really nice. It is a small spot attached to the church but we really love the ambiance. Food and coffee is gooood!
Such a great first experience with my cousin from out of town. We got there at 9am and good thing we did bc a long line formed shortly. The service was great and so was my oat milk latte and breakfast burrito. Even the salad was good, much better than I expected from a side salad. The church is a perfect location for it and it's right across from Central Park. Sitting outside was perfect! Will return for sure.
This bluestone is connected to a wonderful church on the upper east side. This is a more smaller location too. They used to have plenty of outdoor seating but due to construction they had to take it down. They still have some tables outside. Indoors there is a longish communal table in middle and some booth / bar like seating around it. I usually get the BLATE here which is Bacon, Lettuce,avocado ( aioli), Tomato and egg. And their coffees, hot chocolate are good here. This and the avocado toast are the only two things I really get here. Both are delicious. If you are in the area I would recommend this spot.
Pretty well seasoned sandwich but the side chips were not it. Service was pretty quick. Inside is definitely a solid vibe.
Maybe I was starving but this place is so good. The food is perfect and the flat whites divine. Staff are super friendly and kind. Seating is minimal but the ambiance of an old church is so cool.
2.5/5 honestly wasn't wowed by their drinks. pretty crowded on a weekend but was lucky to get a seat inside. service was fast. got the strawberry matcha cloud latte. the matcha was hardly noticeable so it just felt like a sweet treat. servers sort of weirdly rushed us out at the end???
We were lucky enough to get a seat inside. Insanely tiny space but they are pumping our great breakfast items! Went before heading into the Guggenheim- staff was good- doing the best they could in the small space. I would go back if in the area
Loved the unique location and vibe of this spot right across the street from Central Park. My friend and I went for lunch after we visited the Met and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The restaurant is attached to a church so it has the beautiful architecture and old world stone feel. The restroom is inside the church as well. We dined in and the food was great and the service was pretty good as well. I got a chicken salad, one of their bottled juices and we got some coffee and tea to go as well. My only constructive criticism is that they need to expand their menu offerings. I realize it's a small place, but I wish there had been more options to choose from. I did love that they were all healthy.
The prosciutto burrata sandwich is to die for. No notes. Get it or regret it. My bf got the scramble and that was pretty good too. It's a bit on the pricier side ($52 total for two entrees and 2 drinks). Matcha heaven drink was tasty as well.
Came here before a candlelight concert at the church right before closing. They were able to accommodate my to-go order and had me in and out quickly. We had lattes and an almond croissant. All very good would definitely come back if in the area again.
James gave us excellent service.... just a magical touch to an extraordinary place. Will be back.

Stop by for a quick bite after the Guggenheim. Food: I got the banana bread from the menu expecting a simple pastry. Instead, I got an elaborate beautiful presentation with fruit, pecans, and syrup. A lovely surprise! The banana bread was crispy on the sides and fluffy in the middle. Paired with everything on the plate, it felt more akin to French toast. A solid dish. I also got an iced latte with oat milk which was excellent. Service: Amazing service, lovely wait staff, especially Abel, who was taking care upfront us during our meal. Ambiance: Hands down the best, most unique part of this Bluestone Lane. Being a part of the Church of Heavenly Rest, it really felt cozy and holy. Come here if you want vibes with your brunch. read more
Super friendly hostess and server. Had the Chicken & Avocado Toastie and Athlete's Burrito...the chicken was our favorite by far. Burrito was okay, but needed seasoning pretty badly. At the very least more of the mayo, but absolutely needed pepper. Great setting though, and fun to sit outside right across from the Park read more
Great option for lunch near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park with friendly service. Our party of 4 all enjoyed our choices from sandwiches to breakfast eggs. Casual spot with limited seating inside and out. AKA Church of Heavenly Rest Cafe read more

Really good breakfast/brunch spot after a walk through Central Park! I got a wrap that was solid but nothing special, but the side salad that came with it was really great. The iced chai latte was also delicious. Really cool ambiance with how this location is connected to a church. Only negative thing to say was about the wait time. The host told us about 10 minutes and it ended up being more like 25. Totally understandable on a Sunday morning but a better estimate would've been helpful! Overall, about what I expected and a pretty solid restaurant! read more
WOW! What a find. It's an absolute must for brunch if you're heard Central Park. Love the vibe and aesthetics inside. Beautiful subtle pastel colors and rustic feel. Recommend the mocha and egg and avocado toasts! The plating is also pretty and servers are so gracious. Shout out to Ryan and Angel for making our Brunch extra special :) read more
Great location, right across the street from Central Park and adjacent to Guggenheim museum. Good place to sit down and enjoy breakfast as seatings available. Gets busy on the weekends. Pricey coffee however worth it for the quality! read more
I decided to order out for my midweek lunch and set my mind onwarm chicken and ancient grains bowl with a matcha latte - price came out to be over $30 which was more than i'd imagine. Even so, the meal was hearty and healthy, exactly what i need after days without greens. Service was fast, and the place was clean. What really completed the meal was the delicious salted chocolate chip cookie, which was absolutely amazing. Perfect pinch of crystal salts to even out the sweetness. Highly recommend! read more
We were in NYC for a few days and it was a rainy day. Rainy days mean museum days to me. We were headed to the Guggenheim and this place had great reviews. We both love breakfast food so this seemed like a no brainer. The inside of this place is tiny. I mean NYC tiny! It looks like it used to be the inside of a church?! There was a bar area and several high top community style tables. There were two booths and those seemed like the place to be with a group of your girlfriends for a brunch sesh. There was outside seating as well as a cute little patio with a view of the park. Although it was rainy it was rather warm so we opted for the outside patio. We got a cute little table at the end and were greeted promptly and were brought waters. We ordered lattes, food, and enjoyed each other's company while we waited for our food. There was plenty of people watching and the view was great! I recommend this place for a pre-museum lunch or anytime you are in the UES. Enjoy! read more

Had a lovely Saturday morning brunch here-- there was a bit of a wait as we were there without a reservation, but staff were quick to get us seated and keep us updated on the wait time. This BL location was relatively small but the inside is unique with its arched gothic ceiling style that leaned into the original ceiling structure. It felt like a nice hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the city on a street lined with museums and next to Central Park. Would def recommend to go in for a bite before a day at the Guggenheim or the Met ! read more
The fact that they don't have a phone is mildly inconvenient since they can't call you when your table is ready. Their Battery Park location allows you to make reservations, so I'd recommend going there instead. My friend and I had to sit outside the restaurant for 30 min for a seat, but were seated at the bar top facing a wall when there were proper tables for 2 open. Staff were very friendly and checked in frequently. I ordered the Athlete's Burrito, which was delicious. Their coffee is very good as well. read more

First time visiting this location and I walked past it at first. It's connected to/in a church and there wasn't a sign that I noticed. There is a cart outside, which sort of distinguishes it as a coffee shop. The servers were friendly and I was seated fairly quickly. I had the cappuccino and an almond croissant. The cappuccino was delicious with a light dusting of cocoa on the microfoam. The almond croissant was also very good with a crisp exterior and soft/not too sweet almond paste/frangipane inside. This is a small shop/restaurant with a couple booths to one side, counter seating at the wall on the other side and a thin/long table in the center with community/family style seating. I will definitely be back! read more

Sitting inside the wing of the Church of Heavenly Rest is this tiny cafe that offers a unique ambiance. Unlike other local under the franchise, the church interior makes a difference- not big enough as in a salvation but cool enough to calm me down on a hot day after walking around museums in the vicinity. There are more earrings on the outside than the tiny space inside. Both are nice - the outside area is pleasant with views of the Central Park but the inside is where you dine under the old arched ceilings. Menu is a bit limited - not that many choices. Though the breakfast bowls were quite good. At this writing it's around $17 but I feel it's reasonable for its location. Service was efficient and fast - only one guy working to seat guests so my hat off to him for how quick he set up tables and seated people! read more

Perfect location if you're looking to grab coffee or a bite before/after visiting Central Park due to its close proximity. At first glance, we thought it was just a stand but when we got closer, we realized the restaurant was inside a church! It's on the side though, so for any of you trying to avoid church, don't worry! I got the BLATE burger and mocha iced latte. Both was okay, and since I'm usually a "bang for your buck" gal, it was a bit pricey for me. I will pay for good food, but personally, I thought what I got was average. The restaurant itself was a little small and we sat very, very close to the other customers even though we got a booth (we could hear each others' convos). If you're with a big group, I wouldn't recommend sitting inside since they have tables outside and can combine them if you need more space. However, if you're a foodie or food content creator, their dishes and drinks are very picturesque and make for great photos! read more
This is an okay spot. I like the location and look of this restaurant. However, the food is overpriced and the coffee is meh. The people were friendly. There is also an outside covered area if there is no seating inside. I ordered the breakfast bowl with no farro and added salmon. It was ridiculously expensive for the price. Also, the poached egg was not runny on the inside :( read more

BEWARE OF ONLINE PICK UP ORDERS The way the restaurant handles pick up orders is completely irresponsible. My partner and I had ordered meals for pick up, and nearly 40 minutes after (when it was supposed to be done), it was no where to be found. When I brought it up to the workers, they were aloof and didn't know what was going on - not even aware that we even placed the order in the first place! Nearly an hour later...wow. They even made excuses saying that the order did not indicate it was for pick up...when I clearly showed the yelp/grubhub receipt stating otherwise. I don't feel comfortable ordering pick up at a place where orders are not protected and supervised, nonetheless handled appropriately. Nice to know that anyone off the street can get a free meal if they'd like! read more
The ordering process is so easy! You order and pay online, then they bring you your order. I got an oat milk cappuccino and one of the breakfast bowls. There isn't much seating indoors, but they have outdoor seating with heaters. Overall they have good coffee and food, but I would most likely choose a different cafe if I could. Mostly due to price. read more
