I stopped by for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by both the vibe and the food. The matcha drinks were beautifully crafted--one topped with freeze-dried strawberries, the other with shredded coconut. They were creamy, not overly sweet, and had a nice earthy balance. Definitely some of the better matcha I've had locally. The pulled chicken sandwich was hearty and packed with flavor. I loved the mix of textures--juicy chicken, crisp greens, fresh tomatoes, and toasted bread. The side of wedge fries was a standout: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with flaked salt. Plus, the house ketchup had a nice tang that paired well. Service was casual but attentive, and the space itself had a clean, modern feel that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Will definitely be coming back to try more off the menu!
Bluestone Lane is an Australian coffee shop chain with a location in West Windsor/Princeton in the Nassau Park Pavilion. It's been around for several years, but I had never gotten around to visiting since it's in an odd location of a shopping complex that I rarely think of visiting for a meal. Unfortunately, I visited on a Sunday afternoon when they had taped a message up on the door that they didn't have a cook, so their kitchen was closed. Staff looked bewildered, explaining to me and several others that they were short staffed and couldn't serve food, but can do drinks & pastries. I figured I'd order a croissant to try them out, but the cashier refused to accept payment via the Inkind app, saying that all the other Bluestone Lane locations would take it, but they stopped accepting it. The encounter had all the hallmarks or a poorly managed business on the verge of shutting down. After my visit, I reached out to Inkind customer service, which must have followed up with the business and they insisted that Inkind is accepted at the Princeton location, so their employee who refused it was misinformed or just made up her own rules. Regardless, I won't be returning or recommending them to others due to such a poor first impression. There are better options for coffee and quick meal within a few minutes radius.
My iced latte with the banana cold foam was delicious! Also enjoyed the chicken avocado toastie but unfortunately was way too expensive for the portion size. :( I probably will stop by here for a latte again but not for the food because of that.
A sanctuary for the suburban matriarchy, where MLM queens and yoga-pants-wearing warriors gather to discuss their children's gluten sensitivities while sipping $10 "mindfulness in a cup" matcha lattes that change color based on your chakra alignment. The avocado toast here doesn't just come with a side of pretension, it comes with a full dissertation on the spiritual journey of the avocado from tree to plate, and here's where this bougie fever dream takes a turn into the Twilight Zone: I ordered a latte and it came with a complimentary spritz bottle of hair spray. Not as a mistake. Not as a prank. As if the barista thought, "You know what this oat milk cortado needs? A little Aqua Net for volume." I'm talking actual aerosol hair product, like they confused the espresso machine with a salon chair.The truly maddening part? The hair spray latte was genuinely delicious. It was like discovering your car runs better on maple syrup. So naturally, I returned, desperate to recreate this bizarre caffeinated styling experience, only to receive lattes so aggressively sweet they could put a hummingbird in a diabetic coma and tragically, hair spray-free. Apparently, achieving the perfect balance of espresso and Aussie Scrunch Spray is an art form that cannot be replicated. I'm now stuck in this kafkaesque loop, forever chasing the dragon of that one perfect chemically-enhanced coffee, while surrounded by women named Brynleigh discussing their juice cleanses.
My stomach could be heard from 10 miles away and as I got hangrier my disgruntled partner and I decided that this was it. So, we stopped by and then proceeded to go to tjmaxx across the street. As the vegan/vegetarian movement grows so does the availability of dishes and that Is great! It brings innovation and a new standard of quality to the table which always intrigues me to try their vegan options. I ordered the chicken bowl but with the vegan chicken. The greens were delicious and the chicken was okay, a bit salty. Although it satisfied the craving. The smoothie was good. It's a smoothie you almost can't eff that up right? Lastly the ambiance was clean and spacious. Would I reallllllly come back for the price? I doubt.
I was surprised how fast we were seated. It a very cute place. Everyone is very friendly and the food was really good. The size of my drink was REALLY SMALL. But it was really good. That's the only real concern but the quality of the food is good! It also looks great! I would come again.
The ambient is nice, you feel welcomed. However, the price of the food is crazy overpriced, especially for the portion size. The coffee was very watery, unfortunately. And the tea was extremely hot (not much of a complaint but the rest is more valid) Wouldn't return, maybe just lower the price of the items especially.
We came an hour before closing, just to have a bite in between lunch and dinner. We got a grain bowl, a smoothie and a latte. The latte was sad. I wouldn't go for coffee. The smoothie was okay, a little iced, but I liked the addition of mint. The grain bowl was quite good. We swapped out the chicken for vegan chicken, which was salty. The vegetables were perfect, however. I just wish the coffee was better.
I walked in and looked around. I wasn't sure where the menu was or line. Employees stared at me I stared back. One employee on the floor sheepishly mustered up a hello I acknowledged. Then, I walked to the order area. The employee at the order area asked me did I want anything? I said no just looking (I was clearly confused about the ordering process and I found the menu on my own). The employee turned back to their peer and kept chatting. I snapped a photo for yelp and left somberly. The place seems interesting but I just didn't feel inspired to order anything due to the energy towards me :( - this was before Christmas.
Dined in and got a matcha latte and beet latte. The matcha latte is very strong and the beet latte was good but bot a strong flavor. The blate was pretty yummy and the potato wedges were seasoned pretty well. The breakfast bowl also tasted very fresh. The service was also really great and everyone checked in to make sure things were okay. Also really liked the aesthetic of the cafe and glad it opened!
Nina our server was super nice very welcoming as soon as we stepped through the door. Traditional coffee so just make sure you ask what sweet and what's not. The croissant was delicious. Australian based
I've been to Bluestone Lane quite a few times over the past couple months and I am truly obsessedeverything I've ordered has been so wonderful! The iced mocha is my go-to before work, or just as a treat, and it's such a nice quality coffee & chocolate, the price is comparable to Starbucks but for easily double the quality, so smooth, not too sweet not too bitter, very well balanced. The potato wedges are freaking NEXT LEVEL10/10 recommend, get the upgrade, so crisp yet fluffy and well flavored and that flaky salt is a nice touch. Their breakkie & lunch sandwiches are so great--tasty, filling, but not too heavy, with fresh ingredients (I don't know what kind of tomatoes they use but they're always so ripe). The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, the cafe itself has a calming vibe (ambiance) despite being in a strip mall it's got great lighting and you don't feel closed in. Just a wonderful place, with a wonderful staff and I hope more people can stop by and enjoy it like I've enjoyed it (just not when I'm there because I like when it's quiet ).
Food tasted so amazing and well flavored. Amazing brunch spot. Xcceria one of the workers there did such an amazing job taking our order and making sure we had everything we needed!!! Love how there's outdoor places to sit at and enjoy your meal. read more
The Australian coffee and brunch place next to Paris baquette at Nassau park. The cafe was clean and modern. But there were only one employee in front who prepared coffee and let customers to be seated. A cup of americano ordered to go took a while to come out. Also, the coffee was very bitter. read more
We came here from a reward system they have with a few other reatraunts including planta queen so the drink was a good price. We just got a cappachino and it was pretty decent. While there was nothing that made it stand out from the rest nothing took away from it either. When you walk in it has a beach theme meaning almost everything is blue. Maybe it was the server stand or the very clear path, but something made it feel very much like a chain coffee shop. While it's a decent spot for a coffee, I dont think it's one I would go out of my way for read more

I have been meaning to try Bluestone Lane ever since it opened so I was excited to finally try it! The interior definitely lived up to my expectations as the decor and all the furniture was bright and modern and nicely put together. It was emptier than we expected, but we were allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. We scanned a QR code to see the menu, which we found to be smaller than we expected. We ordered the spiced chicken wrap and BLATE without the bacon. My BLATE was pretty good and I enjoyed the bread they used. The egg in the sandwich made it so good, but I wish the avocado part was larger as it was just a thin layer on the bread. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and crispy, but the large chunks of sea salt made them a bit too salty. Overall, we had a pretty good time at Bluestone and would recommend it to others, but we probably wouldn't return due to the limited nature of the menu. read more

The ambience was super cozy & welcoming. The service was great, my vanilla latte was on the sweeter side and I requested to remake it and they did it immediately and with a smile. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, it was delicious but the pancakes were a little cold. Overall, great experience and would def go again! read more
