FI.NA.LLY!!! Bluestone Lane has been on my radar for YEARS but there's not one in Michigan so I haven't been able to try it. I love me some good Aussie-style coffee (hello to 'real' flat whites!). I went here 2x on our trip for coffee. I had the: *Mont Blanc (Born in Australia, this brown sugar cold brew is topped with orange cold foam and a dusting of nutmeg.) - loved the flavors on this! The cold foam, though, had a slightly oily mouthfeel to me which wasn't my favorite. But, all in all enjoyed this! Probably would get it slightly less sweetened next time. *Iced Magic (A stronger, less diluted spin on a flat white - two shots of espresso in a 4.5oz cup with steamed milk and velvety microfoam, similar to a European Cortado) My MIL also had their Berry Brekkie Smoothie (A healthy dose of antioxidants from fresh mixed strawberries, raspberries blueberries & banana plus mint, lemon juice, honey and oat milk.) and enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet and the texture was good! I will say that this location needs better ventilation; it smells like cooking grease, and you leave smelling like it too so 2 stars for the ambience BUT 5 for the coffee. read more

Cute interior with some table seating for you to enjoy your meal or coffee at. I tried the strawberry matcha latte which was decent and not as sweet as some other places make it - could probably have used more strawberry. The soft chili scramble with avocado was fine as well. Service was attentive. I feel like the items were overpriced for what they were, but this is still a decent spot to chill at for a while if you're in the area. read more

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. read more

I was staying in town and I didn't wanna eat at the hotel as it seemed very overpriced for the quality. I found this café right around the corner from where I was staying and I have to say I was very happy with the food and the service. The atmosphere is adorable, the food is tasty and the server was friendly and attentive. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Nice spot highly recommend great coffee friendly staff good food well priced service was excellent

I came in over the weekend... It was very busy but the line was moving long pretty quick. I got a muffin and a hot chocolate both were pretty good and I would recommend. Its pretty plain decor but it serves its purpose. I was helped by Ella who was very efficient and friendly. She definitely deserves a raise! read more

Came here for breakfast. They provide table service if you decide to dine in. However, service is slow so if you're in a rush, not the place for you. Another thing to note is that the tables are sticky for some reason. I got the Bluestone Lane Burrito ($17) which consists of scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, sheep's milk feta, crispy potato & guajillo sauce. Cannot go wrong with this and it tastes great as leftover without microwaving it. The Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.15 for 12 oz) tastes good as expected. If you're paying by card, you'll have to go to the cash register to pay your bill, which is also inconvenient as you'll have to wait in the same line of people there just ordering their coffee. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

This was a difficult choice. Was it 3 star? Was it 4 star? We really liked the athletes burrito - it was hearty and well balanced. The cappuccino was a hit. But the gluten free banana bread - for the cost we expected a lot more pecans (there were maybe 4 tiny bits) and the edible flowers as advertised. I liked the bread but my dining partner hated it, sharing that it was grainy and didn't really have a banana flavor. It was ok but was certainly not worth the cost. The cafe itself was really nicely decorated. It felt open yet charming, with lots of windows. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We'd totally return for the athletes burrito and cappuccino! read more

Bright, lovely little place to meet for lunch of breakfast with someone or get a little work done. I appreciate the larger menu options here if you're hungry for something more than a pastry or toast. Great drink menu (try the juices!) but overall the prices were a little high. Staff was really sweet and handled a Sunday rush well. read more

This location of Bluestone Lane was terrible. I first found this chain in Hoboken, NJ and then in Washington, D.C., so finding they were in Philadelphia, right near my hotel was great. Well at least that's what I thought. We went to have a quick bite and coffee. It took quite a while to get seated and the only option was the counter so we took it. We sat for about 10 minutes before anyone even came. Then they brought us water and disappeared for another 5-10 minutes. They finally took our order, so we thought we were finally going to eat. After about 15-20 minutes 2 of our 3 meals came out. Assuming it was just a short delay, we waited for the 3rd dish. After another 5-10 minutes we flagged down the server to point out that my wife's dish had not come out and he told us, oh sorry, we were out of what she wanted. Well it would have been nice of someone to tell us. What an absolutely horrible experience. And the food we did get was no where near the other locations that we have visited. This is by far the worst location that I have ever been to. read more

Stopped by Bluestone Lane and got the iced chai--it looked promising, but it ended up tasting pretty watery. Not bad, just lacked that bold, spicy flavor & creaminess I was hoping for. Might give it another shot, but this one didn't quite hit. read more

Was staying quite nearby and needed a good spot to work for an hour or so, and Bluestone hit the spot. Love their easy ordering system and the layout of the cafe - great for group dates and and remote workers alike. I went with a really yummy breakfast bowl and a cold brew. The cold brew truly saved me after a night of not sleeping well and was also super delicious. The breakfast bowl was also really tasty and I appreciated the customization options I could add directly while order online. This is a great location with an open kitchen and the staff is all fabulous as well. Recommend if you're in need of a quick morning pit stop! read more

Very yummy food, just expensive but that is to be expected in Rittenhouse. Beet latte is good. Servers are nice and a good cafe to get work done read more

I wanted to love bluestone lane, but my first experience (delivery take out) sort of fell flat. What I ordered: Green baked eggs - With Chimichurri being a focal point, or at least a menu mention, I envisioned layers of flavors throughout every bite, but that wasn't the case. To be honest, not sure I tasted any Chimichurri at all, or salt nor pepper. Overall the dish lacked flavor. The feta cheese was yum, but there wasn't enough of it. Only on the top of the eggs, with most of it ending up as spillover stuck to the aluminum tray the eggs are baked in. The toast served with the entree was the highlight for me. I added a side of avocado to my green baked eggs, and just made my own avo toast as the eggs left a little to be desired. I'm still open to trying out a dine-in experience at Bluestone lane, but I'd definitely order something else. read more

The strawberry cheesecake matcha and blueberry waffles are really good. I stayed there for 3 days and got at least one strawberry cheesecake matcha every day. I believe it is a seasonal item though. read more

Visited Bluestone with my friend while in the area. The servers were nice and service was quick. There is cute seating and we got lucky and came at a good time that it wasn't very busy. The food was great. I got the athlete's burrito, and my friend got a bowl with chicken. It isn't every day that you find a good food spot that doesn't leave you feeling bloated. Iced lattes were yummy too. Would deff come back. read more

This is my second time at this location and I want to provide info: My first review was also a 3 star, it can be found on this location's Yelp. After that review, customer service messaged me, we talked, and I gave them another try. This review is a 3 star as well. Nothing special, I wasn't excited drinking the coffee. But the food was disappointing. I got an egg and cheese on a croissant and the second I picked it up, it didn't hold its shape. The croissant felt wet on the bottom (I did takeout but my walk was only 2 blocks). I had to eat with a fork and knife and was pretty upset. I couldn't find the bottom of the croissant at one point because it mushed with the egg. Ended up having to toss half of it. I won't return, but can understand why people like it. Not for me, not for the price ($8.50 for a soggy egg and cheese on a croissant). Also, I have to say, a $10 credit is appreciated, but it doesn't allow for many food items to be fully comped, most food is $14+. So giving the location another try doesn't really match the coverage provided. Also side note: download the app to get a free drink to try out before paying for one. It'll help you decide if you should go to this coffee shop or go elsewhere. read more

Decent dirty chai, but I came here because it was on the map on my inKind app. When I asked to pay with inKind they said I had no idea what I was talking about... I've used inKind at other Bluestone Lane locations before, so seems like management needs to communicate things better with staff. read more

*WOULD RECOMMEND* This cafe is such a cute place to grab coffee or breakfast. Located inside the Warwick Rittenhouse Hotel, the cafe is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating available. I love the clean, minimalist aesthetic of the cafe. Every table has a QR code that pulls up their menu and ordering site so you can order and pay directly on your phone. The menu is health focused with a lot of nutritiously balanced dishes full of greens, proteins, and carbs. Although their food menu is not large, everything looks really good and in reality the food also taste good. Definitely one of the few foods healthy foods that I've had that also taste good Their drinks menu on the other hand is quite extensive and similarly, they all look good too. Price wise, everything was very reasonable. *BREAKFAST* Beet latte - the name says it all. It was my first time trying a beet drink of any sorts and you can definitely taste the beets in this. It taste pretty good. Green baked eggs - Shakshuka-style baked eggs dished. Although it came out in a relatively small cast iron, this dish was filling. The chimichurri made the dish quite flavorful, not bland at all. I love the runny over easy style eggs. Solid mix of greens, proteins and carbs. *VERDICT* I would definitely come back again. Great place for healthy conscious eating read more

Service was very good and friendly. The ambience was casual and cute. It was a cute cafe to stop into for lunch. I really appreciated the healthy options at this cafe. Lots to choose from for breakfast and lunch. The green goddess bowl was lacking a bit of flavor but still super filling and refreshing with a lot of ingredients. Would recommend for a healthy casual lunch. read more

What I loved: brekkie board (avocado toast on point), orange juice (so fresh and flavorful), outdoor area/location (downtown but tucked away in a quiet spot). What missed the mark: pancakes (looks better than they taste, came out underdone at first try, overdone at second try) What I hope to try next time: their ice cream coffee drinks (looked amazing). I'd return for the savory breakfast, skip the pancakes! read more

The first thing I noticed inside this place was so many flies!!!! It's like infested with gnats and they are everywhere in this place. Ugh That should have been the first red flag here. The guy working (Jackson?) wasn't welcoming and kind of just stood there looking at me instead of greeting me or even saying hi. I finally found a menu on my own so I could order takeout since the place is very small inside and all the tables were taken. Once I ordered the guy working was polite but not friendly or talkative.. I ordered a small latte and the folded chimichurri eggs over toast. It came to $21 before tip, pretty pricey for what it was. The latte is very very small and was very bitter and gross. I threw it away after trying a few sips because it was that bad. The toast was burnt but the chimichurri sauce and eggs were good so I gave the place 2 stars for whoever made the eggs. If you like crispy bacon, this isn't for you. The bacon was soggy! I probably wouldn't eat here again. If it wasn't raining I would have gone somewhere else with better service, better food, no flies and less pricey. read more

Can't speak for the food, but this is my new favorite iced vanilla latte in philly! Friendly cashier!

We used to have coffee and brunch there all the time. Food was good my daughter liked it. But what happened today is absolutely unacceptable. I placed an order at 11:20am and waited patiently in the shop, after 40min it was still not ready so I asked the staff, turned out he didn't see the order at all. Told to wait another 20min (2 sandwich and 1 coffee). We really had to go so asked if he could just cancel the order. There's no cancel option in their App so we asked if he could help. Out of nowhere He was VERY VERY rude , he raised his voice and started yelling at us that there's nothing he could do to help. So shocked people can be so rude, especially working at a cafe. Will never go again. It's a dude with ponytail. read more

Used to pass this place all the time When I worked in the city. Finally decided to pop in on a weekend. The place was fairly busy and even though we didn't have reservations they were able to give us a seat for four. Even the plain coffee was presented so fancy (see pictures). We had a good time chatting and despite how busy it was, never felt like they were trying to get us to leave quickly. read more
