Iced Strawberry Matcha

Do not get matcha from here, it's one of the worst ones I've had - clumpy powder unless you really mix it before every sip - $7 + $1 milk substitute. Breakfast foods honestly weren't worth the price tag either - $16 for a BEC on a brioche bun. I do like the inside though, nice with a lot of seating. And them doing community events here - they had an Endorphins Run pop up during a marathon which was really cool. Not sure if I'd come back though. Staff was very friendly to make small talk with.

Avocado toast with poached egg
Morganne M.

Great breakfast spot. Good food, cute place, ok service. I got the pumpkin cold brew which was good, not too sweet which I appreciate. Also ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg. Really great flavor with the oil/sauce and seasoning they added, one of the better avocado toasts I've had. It was a bit difficult to get a server's attention when something was needed including the check. We actually never saw our original server again after she dropped off our food, not sure if she had clocked out or not, but another server was able to help us. Would come again!

Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha Iced Latte
Amelia C.

Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha tasted like an average strawberry matcha. I didn't taste any type of cheesecake flavor. Also the strawberry flavor is very artificial. We had to order an Iced Latte bec they did not have cold brew.

Black coffee and butter croissant
Catelyn H.

The staff was busy where I visited this establishment, but they unfortunately lost my order. I ordered a black cup of coffee and a butter croissant. The croissant was great as I ate it while waiting on my beverage. I waited for about 15 minutes before I approached the counter and asked about my order and they couldn't find the ticket.... The staff made it right- but I can't help to think what would have happened if I didn't speak up.

Friendly staff, good food, and good drinks! A great place to grab something to go or stay and sit.

Hai Lin's masterpiece!

I can't think of a better way to start my day than having a delicious and very artful cappuccino made by Hai Lin!! Love this place.

Bluestone Lane Brekkie Board and coffee

Friendliest, most attentive service ever. They open early (maybe reconsider the 7 am ABBA?!) and provided a perfect place to attend to early-morning work emails while enjoying a delicious breakfast. I love that the "Brekkie Board" provided a combo of half-orders of yogurt/fruit/granola AND avocado toast, so I didn't have to choose. Also I don't know what is the secret behind their avocado toast but it's one of the best I ever had. Twice! I'll be back when I return to Philly for work.

iced chai latte, flat white and pumpkin spice aussie iced latte

Bluestone Lane was one of the first spot my coworkers and I went to together when I landed. They are an Australian coffee chain. Our original plan was to get breakfast here, but none of us say anything we wanted to eat on the menu so we just got drinks, and headed elsewhere for food. My coworkers had an Iced Chai Latte and a Flat White and I couldn't resist getting a seasonal Pumpkin Spice Aussie Iced Latte. We all enjoyed our drinks. My Pumpkin Spice Aussie Iced Latte came with a pleasant scoop of ice cream in it. Yummm... I liked it so much I ended up choosing this spot for a meeting later during the week when I reordered the same drink. My colleague ordered a Cappuccino and also complimented the coffee. They mentioned being hungry, but after glancing at the menu also decided not to eat here. So my first drink tasted a lot better than my second drink, so something about the way they were made was inconsistent. Also the food menu has room for improvement. The food price was also on the high side for not being anything too desirable.

Stopped here for a mid-day coffee break and I thinkni might come back. I'm the spirit of the holidays I ordered a ppumpkin spice latte and it was so smooth lol. I it's hard to find a place that makes a perfect pumpkin spice. Service was pretty good. We didn't wait long to get our order at all.

Wow, so much better than the usual type place. We won't mention the name. The drinks are great and staff are very friendly. I must say for the very short time Beas able to be in here the experience was great. One of the workers explained this is not just a Philly or east cost coffee place they are across the US.

Just arrived into Philly and needed something light for my wife to have not to be hungry before our busy afternoon. We found this place in Yelp, and it looks fancy from the outside but is so homey inside. Blue and white colors are very inviting. We went with an iced latte with vanilla and oat milk, and ai had an earl grey tea with vanilla and low fat milk. The server brought my wife a nice tall glass and, for me, a tea kettle with the tea steeping. and the vanilla and milk on the side. We shared a gluten-free banana bread with a side of ricotta and berry's. very tasty and wonderful service. Sorry, not the prettiest photo as my wife could not wait to eat!

Soft Chili Scramble w/ Avocado
Soprina G.

Bluestone lane is a cafe where you can bring people to sit and chat. The atmosphere is pleasant and has more seating than most cafes in the rittenhouse area. You can go in for just a coffee or make it a whole brunch! Their coffee is brewed nicely and they have many specialty drinks like their Aussie iced latte (pretty much a milkshake with coffee!) I love getting their soft chili scramble since it's loaded with food and flavor. Their athletes burrito is also a classic for me and protein heavy. I love coming to blue line, it hasn't disappointed!

I'm actually really upset that I stopped by this café... and let me tell you why…read more I'm not from the area--in fact, I live in Los Angeles, about 2,700 miles away. My family and I were in Philly for a World Cup match and decided to stop in for a chai latte and a coffee. There was a short line, and when it was our turn, we were greeted by the sweetest employee. She was incredibly welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain the different coffee blends they offered. We ended up getting the Colombia blend, which my husband absolutely loved. Now, why do I regret coming here? Because this was, without a doubt, the BEST chai latte I have ever had in my life. It completely ruined every other chai latte for me. The bar has been set so high that every chai I've had since has been a disappointment. I can't wait to make it back to Philly!

Was able to walk up and order. I got the house special,the latte with black sea salt. It's fairly large for a coffee shop. The morning crowd had filled up most of the tables. My coffee tasted slightly sweet and slightly salty. After a couple of sips, I think I got most of the salt. I probably should have stirred it more. Still a really good latte

Twisted Grounds is a quiet little gem tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of the city…read more The employees are really nice and welcoming. Service is quick. It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.

The drink was really sweet and tasted good, but I think I've officially decided I'm not a matcha fan lol. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the inside is kinda tight, so I wouldn't go with a large group. I'd go again, but next time I'd try a non-matcha drink!

I asked for my egg to be 'cooked through'. The restaurant makes its own English Muffins from a sourdough bread - they are outstanding! The farm eggs were cooked perfectly and the Cooper Sharp Cheese with a little mayo gave the sandwich a savory, rich taste. The French Fries were good - thin, a little crisp on the outside, but tender inside. They made a nice side with the sandwich. Well, I'm sorry I waited so long to try this wonderful little cafe! The Breakfast Sandwich is a must! I'll be anxious to stop back and try another dish!

I got the basic hotcakes and while pancakes sounded good to me, I wasn't expecting anything as good as this was. Sure, even from my photo, they look like nothing special, but I think this Little Pete's NAILS the classic American breakfast pancake. Most places get it wrong in one way - the flavor of the syrup, getting cold fast, being too soft, etc. But they got it PERFECT here. Everything was right. I'm mainly a fan of Cracker Barrel's pancakes, but those taste like they have a crack injection. This place keeps it simple, stupid - and does a damn good job at it.

The style of the café was great with a modern and clean, yet warm enough to make those early morning hours seem somewhat purposeful, and not as rushed as they could be!

Space: Minimalism at its core (and that really clean aesthetic here works)! There's so many places to sit: low top shared tables in the center, low top tables by the window, seats at a high bar facing the wall, seats at a high coworking space-like counter, seats outside when the weather is good. People settle in here and take their time; don't be turned off by that and don't afraid to simply grab a seat next to someone (maybe ask if it's taken, of course). Vibe: This inclusive coffee shop with a great playlist makes you feel welcome! Coffee: The shakeratos are where it's at. "A light and frothy coffee, smooth and delicious made with cold brew concentrate and your choice of whole, skim, or oat milk." LOVE THAT THERE'S NO UPCHARGE FOR OAT MILK.

Although the blood orange ginger espresso tonic sounded intriguing, I was a little nervous to try it; but maybe next time!
