After many morning coffee rushes here, I experienced my first time dining in at the Lane Avery location. I always adored the indoor dining here, but never got a chance. I managed to slide in about 30 minutes prior to closing and order a drink to dine in. FYI if you are using their app this location doesn't have table numbers or QR codes, but let your server know your name so they can be on the lookout. I do this especially if I have a reward I want to use since sometimes, it doesn't apply with the in-person transactions. Through the app, you can also see that one can request chocolate, cinnamon, Milo powder, etc free of charge. Neat! read more

Came here to get a Bondi Blue smoothie and catch up with friends. After ordering our smoothies, we waited for 20 minutes and still had not received anything, despite the cafe not being that busy. A staff member finally came up to us and unappologetically told us they accidentally left their ticket machine unplugged so the smoothies would still take a bit of time to come out. It took an additional 10 minutes to receive our smoothie, and not once did the staff apologize for the delay. The Bondi Blue smoothie is quite mediocre, tasting mostly like a regular banana smoothie and in quite a small cup. The base cost of the smoothie was $12.50. In addition, this cafe has the highest "mandate fee" that I have ever seen at almost 9% and an additional 18% default tip. For such a steep price, I expect the service to at least be good, but it was borderline unprofessional and the food itself is not worth it. The only reason this isn't a 1 star is that the ambiance was nice, so it was a decent place to talk even without any food. read more

Came here with friends and this place is beautiful for a nice catchup breakfast! Good: - The avocado toast was very healthy tasting and the ingredients tasted very fresh - I liked the flavor of the superfood latte, it was quite good and kept me energized - The pillows next to the window are so cozy Bad: - The place is super busy in the morning so the lines are long - The portion sizes are tiny and the prices are high for the amount of food you get Overall this is a definitely upscale experience that I'd only come to as a treat. read more

Bluestone Lane Avery Cafe - Avocado SmashAvocado - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

This spot was close to where I was staying so I tried it out. Got seated right away and the service was friendly. I enjoyed the blueberry pancakes, side of smashed avocado and shared a side of bacon. The coffee was tasty and definitely not too weak. I always appreciate when non dairy creamers are available and got the oat milk. The presentation was really nice and the straight forward breakfast items made it easy for me to order without overthinking. I'm a picky pancake eater but I finished what I was served. It had more of a cake texture but it wasn't overly sweet. This would be a great place to sit and read a book! We had ask to for a couple of items twice but it was still a nice experience. read more

Bluestone Lane Avery Cafe - Golden Latte - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I hadn't been to a bluestone lane before, I went here for brunch with someone who goes here frequently. Interesting, they're Aussie, so I wanted to order one of the "Aussie best" dishes. The soft chili scramble with avocado seemed to be one of the most popular dishes from the reviews and I can see why. It had a lot going for it, the combination of the wheat bread with egg, avocado and "spicy" grilled chicken worked well, it has a nice kick of spice with the chili oil/flakes/sauce that went around the plate. I'd definitely get this dish again. I also ordered a matcha latte and that was standard, quite big in terms of portion though. Nice cafe located on the corner with a nice setup and ambiance. I will only say it was slightly pricey but I think the taste and quality was legitimately good. read more

So glad I stumbled upon Bluestone Lane! I was visiting SF and in my office looking for some lunch close by and I found Bluestone on Yelp. I placed an order online and made my quick walk over to pick up the meal. My main reason for docking a star would be price. A breakfast burrito and a side of potatoes cost me over $22 which felt really expensive to me. Moving past price, overall I loved my meal. The burrito was delicious and the potato wedges were seasoned great. I was thoroughly impressed by the food and the staff was super nice, but I just wish it were less expensive. read more

I love the coffee shop here. I was looking for a place to do some work and I found Bluestone Lane. I arrived on a Sunday morning and was a little crowded, but it was easy to find the seats here. The space is decorated in this lighter navy blue tone with a nice window that views the streets of San Francisco. We were lucky to find a corner seating to sit by, eat, and do work for a couple of hours. There are limited spots in finding outlets, though. It would have been nice if there were outlets all around the area so I can charge my laptop for work. This is not your typical cafe. It is a full on restaurant with plenty of sandwiches and breakfast choices. They have a wide variety of smoothies, juices, and coffee you can choose from. The quality is definitely there. I had ordered a matcha latte and a chicken & avocado sandwich that filled me up. The sandwich was super generous - I can only eat half of my meal. The matcha latte definitely gave me the energy I need to start my day and write. There are a couple of locations for this cafe. I really like it here and the staff here are so nice. They are highly accommodating and I would love to come back here to eat again. read more

We used to order Bluestone Lane 3-5 times a week, but we finally stopped--and today's order reminded us exactly why. The orders are always wrong. The portions have shrunk to the point of borderline shrinkflation. They never include napkins or utensils, which is basic stuff any café should get right. We decided to give them another chance, and what shows up? "Crispy Brussels" that were literally half full... and missing the main ingredient: not one single piece of bacon. How do you forget the bacon when it's part of the actual dish? Bluestone Lane used to be a reliable favorite. Now it feels like we're paying premium prices for careless mistakes and smaller portions. Very disappointing. read more

I came by on a Sunday to grab an afternoon treat and ended up getting a Berry Brekkie smoothie with oat milk, blueberries, strawberries and banana which was a great healthy sweet treat. Loved the texture and thickness of the smoothie which was just right for me. It was super fresh and really satisfied by fruit smoothie. Bluestone Lane cafes are always a good casual to grab coffee or a quick meal. read more

My friend wanted to try this place so we went to check it out. Lots of indoor and outdoor seats. Cute warm and bright ambiance. Limited vegan options, I saw three aside from smoothies if you omit cheese. I had the green goddess bowl which was yummy but it was small in my option, with arugula & spinach w few pickled onions, and some avocado. It most definitely could have been more greens, it didnt fill the plate. Not sure I will make a point to come back. CC accepted read more

MOLD! Let me give you the run down. Went around 12 on a Sunday and it was quite busy. The inside is sort of small but very cute. Only had to wait 8ish minutes to be seated. We ordered through a QR code which had the full menu with photos. My friend's hot latte came and it was in a glass (not a mug) so it was hard for her to even hold it to drink due to the heat. Our food finally came and the presentation was nice. It tasted good until my friend got the rice bowl and she found mold in the rice :( it was weird looking to begin with because it was clumpy and fuzzy compared to the rest. (See circled photo) We immediately got our servers attention who took it back to the kitchen. He came back and informed us it was mold and my friend would get a full refund and they can remake the meal with quinoa. Service was nice but the mold ruined our experience. Sadly will not be coming back. read more

Hands Down one of my favorite brunch spots in SF! Their menu offers a larger selection of food and drinks than all the other Bluestone locations, their service is efficient and staff are very friendly. On a sunny day you can enjoy their outdoor seating with a view of the fiDi neighborhood. My personal fave is the BL Big Brekkie a perfect combo of flavors that pair very well with each other. Smoothies are amazing and everything is reasonably priced. The three times I've been there I have been immediately seated at a table without a reservation. A must visit if you are a brunch type of person!! read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots for brunch or lunch! Located on a busy corner in a very residential neighborhood, Bluestone Lane is the cutest cafe, with gorgeous decor and ample seating. I love coming here for their green goddess bowl, it's a delicious salad with fresh vegetables, avocado, and a dressing with a kick. The service is very simple, you sit at a table and order directly from the QR code on the table so there's very little waiting most of the time. For coffee and pastries, it's also easy to order directly at the counter. read more

Cute little cafe. Serves lunch food, breakfast, snacks and hot/ cold drinks. The soup was delicious and the sourdough bread was toasted perfectly. Nice workers and calm atmosphere. If you enjoy their coffee they sell it in bags. Indoor and outdoor seating, alittle on the pricer side. read more

Just moved to the area and have been checking out new places, so we stopped into Bluestone Lane Avery Cafe for some coffee. The concept is really cool bright, modern, and welcoming, making it a great spot to start the day or take a break while exploring the neighborhood. The coffee was solid and well made, with a good selection of drinks to choose from. It felt like a reliable place to grab a quality cup without feeling rushed, which is always a plus. Overall, Bluestone Lane Avery Cafe is a great neighborhood coffee spot with a relaxed vibe and a thoughtful concept. Definitely worth stopping into if you're new to the area or just looking for a dependable place to enjoy a good coffee. read more

Been a few years since coming back for dine in, usually get coffees to go. Service is amazing, even gave our baby some milk since we left ours at home! Fresh ingredients, the chicken is well cooked, not salty at all anymore. Only feedback is the athletes burrito was fairly watery so it soaked through the bottom of the wrap. Love coming here and eating healthy and delicious foods. read more

Had a great experience at Bluestone Lane. The coffee was smooth, the food was tasty, and there was a comfortable vibe throughout the cafe.

I was visiting SF on a work trip and had went to a different location that was great. The next day we came here to get breakfast again and the staff were very rude, not even saying anything when we walked in. The food took forever and I have no desire to return to this location ever again. read more

One of my girlfriends and I stopped by this morning after our early morning gym session. We were immediately greeted by someone at the front register and they seated us right away. The place was fairly busy. We ordered from our phones by using the QR code placed in the middle of the table. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and my friend ordered the Soft Chili Scramble with Avocado. It was all delicious and perfect after a gym workout. I love the vibes at this cafe too. Everyone was friendly and the cafe had a very welcoming vibe. Oh, forgot to mention that I also ordered a turmeric latte and it was just perfect to top off my meal. I definitely want to bring my Mom here next time. read more

Tried Bluestone while I was in the area and it was a GREAT experience! Popped in on a Saturday morning around 9:30am ish and it wasn't too busy. My friend and I got a table and ordered through the QR code. Food came out pretty quickly and we shared the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. It was quiet when we were there and customer service was quick! The star of the meal was 100% the lemon ricotta pancakes. I've never had any like these at other restaurants. Perfect combination of sweet and freshness. Absolutely perfect and recommend you coming to try Bluestone for these alone! I got the BL burrito and it was also great! Their matcha was also really good, I prefer lattes on the sweeter side but this and the pancakes together made for the perfect bite. Must try! read more

I used to love coming here, but the quality of service has varied so much that I don't always have a positive experience here anymore, so I don't come here as often now or I just do takeout. Food: The food and drink offerings here are generally consistent and good - some of my go-to items are flat white, brekkie board, and athletes burrito. Both the dine-in and takeout (including ordering in -app) experiences are usually pretty seamless, though as expected there may be a longer wait time if they're busy. Service: As mentioned the service here hasn't been consistent. In a recent visit, I was excited to bring me mom here for brunch since she was visiting SF for the first time in years and has never tried Bluestone. We asked for a hardcopy menu for her because she was having a lot of difficulty reading the digital one via the QR code and the server kept saying no and that we had to order online. I understand that we have to order online (I was going to order for her on my phone), but that's not what the issue was and even after several tries he was not listening to what we were asking for and why. Finallyy another staff member listened to us and brought us a paper menu for her to read more easily. In another visit, I came with a friend for a drink deal which was not applied when we ordered on the QR code as she said it would, and so the deal wasn't honoured and we had to pay full price. What's the point of having the deals if they don't work? Ambiance: I usually try to avoid coming to Bluestone on weekends - on weekdays the ambiance is pretty chill and relaxed, and I've never had issues with getting a table to dine in. read more

Horrible customer service. Very rude staff!! I asked for a scrambled egg item, and I was told there was nothing and then noticed while waiting for my coffee that it was on the menu on the board. I mentioned it to the manager and she said nothing about it. No apology. Nothing. I would rather give my business to someone much more polite. read more

The service was great and very prompt. The place has cozy with pleasant ambiance and stylish, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed breakfast or casual brunch. The food quality is so outstanding. Every dish is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients and well-presented. The Soft Chili Scramble with avocado was so good and very delicious. Good texture of egg and it was nicely seasoned. Nice menu and will keep coming back there. read more

This is such an easy place to go to and everyone is so nice. I enjoy the outside seating in the warmer months, and their inside dining is also very comfortable and clean. I come here for their breakfasts and have tried many of the items on their menu. They offer a slight twist on some of their menu items and it is a nice touch, ie lemon curd in their granola. Their smashed avocado toast with an egg on top is a perfect meal. I will definitely return and try more on their menu. read more

A very nice casual brunch spot. You order through a QR code, which makes it easy if people are paying separately, and the food comes quickly. It is fairly healthy and tasty brunch food at a reasonable price. Food seems fresh! I ordered a simple avocado toast and yogurt with granola and fruit for ~ $20. I also ordered a golden latte (had never had one before, but I liked it!). Perfect weekend spot, especially if you want to stay and chat for a while. read more

I think I have come here a handful of times and every time... it wasn't that great. I think the two times I have come, I had a piece of hair in my food. But I didn't bother to say anything... I think I have tried almost all the smoothies on the menu and there weren't that good, and one felt watered down too. The food is pretty whatever as well. I gave this place a million shots and really tried to like it.. but I'm not sure... read more

I love their scrambled eggs. Buttery, soft, never over or underdone. No toast with it which is perfect for me. Ambiance is bright, warm, easy to work or meet in. Staff is inconsistent. I've had a couple sweet hearts who smile and are warm and inviting. I've had Australian managers who seem annoyed that I ask about unsweetened alternative milks (I don't ask w/an attitude) and try to convince me that oat milk is good enough because it's no sugar added. (It's ok, not quite the same though.) Maybe because it's the city and it's early when I'm in. It was enough for me to try other shops to see if I can find similar eggs and atmosphere. Not found yet so I'll be back and hope for the nice ones. It's an Aussie based shop and their coffee drinks are named a bit different so it takes a bit to figure it out. read more

Bluestone Lane Avery Cafe - Cafe interior - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sadly, not so good. One of the employees was incredibly rude. I'm not sure if he hates his job or just the customers. I walked up to the counter to ask about one of the muffins inside the glass case. He looked at me in angrily chirped, you order from the table. I said, okay but what is this? He said you order it from the table and pointed toward the tables. An obvious flaw in the table service cafe setup is when they have fresh baked goods that are only named on the menu but visible in a display case. Most competent restauranteurs would understand that seeing the pastry actually helps sell the pastry. In the end of the pastry tasted good, the coffee wasn't so good, one of the staff were nice, but the first person I encountered was the opposite of what you want representing your business. There are way too many coffee shop choices in San Francisco to waste your time at this one. read more

I came in last Tuesday morning, and the restaurant was cozy. I ordered a matcha latte and sat there for almost two hours. One of the waitresses was very friendly and made me feel welcome. I appreciated that they didn't rush customers who wanted to stay a bit longer. read more

I've been to Bluestone Lane over the years so many times and I can say that they are consistent each time. This time, I am basing it on my turmeric latte. turmeric latte (4/5): I ordered it ice so I don't think it was as good because it's usually a hot drink. I love this place because the drinks are pretty solid and the late had lots of turmeric. I was feeling unwell but I didn't have any sickness symptoms. After drinking this drink, my body was revived and I didn't feel unwell anymore. read more

Love coming to this place. A modern, aesthetic cafe with actually a lot of seating and tables of different sizes. Great for getting work done or catching up with friends. FOOD: Food wise, a relatively extensive menu of options and lots of pretty healthy options too, all of which you can further customize easily. You scan a QR code on the table to place your order so if you have a large group, you can all either order on one tab or pay your own tabs from the table. I got the baked eggs this time and added a side of chicken. Overall really tasty and high in protein! The eggs are more thoroughly baked and not as jammy or runny as I thought they would be though. SERVICE: Service is wonderful and all the people here are super sweet. Food can take some time to come out so if you're in a rush just keep that in mind. read more
