This Australian theme cafe/restaurant is located in a nice corner of a swanky residential neighborhood. It offers a large outside as well as an airy atrium-like inside dinning room. The Big Brekker (breakfast) I ordered had two poached eggs on top of a thick multigrain slice of toasted bread and a generous serving of Avocado. There is also a large side of tasty cooked spinach with mushroom and garden tomato. A hearty brunch for $19 plus a $3.50 cup of almost double size latte. Aside from marginal service from a indifferent young lady, this is a very decent casual eating place at West End for a decent price. read more

The food is decent but the service is horrible. Hostess told me... yes, TOLD me to sit at a table then when I accidentally attempted to sit elsewhere, she gave me an attitude for not sitting where she told me. Then there's the 6 foot something waiter who speaks quietly and with a high pitch, but utterly refuses to lean over when speaking so he is literally 4 feet from my seated height. This I couldn't hear a word he spoke. When I needed him to repeat himself - he SIGHED, as if I asked him to do something monumental. The attitude is utterly offensive. Then there's the default 20% tip. read more

We ordered this to go and had to wait a bit... they were out of chocolate croissants so that was a bummer. Coffee was good not sure it was worth the wait. UPDATE: the $18 burrito for breakfast was not worth it. Sorry. Disappointed!!!!! Lower the prices please! read more

This review is for the coffee only. I had a traditional macchiato. Ideally, this drink should have a touch of foam, but I do not mind a little bit of added milk. This one had too much milk and the coffee did not have much taste. So, not recommended for coffee enthusiasts.. read more

Loved that the entire experience included the least amount of personal contact, even when sitting at a table. The ordering and payment was done through your phone. The coffee was delicious and the food even better. Overall super cute cafe. read more

Love this cafe. Sat outside with my son and his friends from GW. Ordering was easy using the QR code provided at the table and paying was immediate on the same site. The food was delivered quickly to the table. Ingredients were fresh. This is going to be a go to when I want a noursihing meal close to the GW campus. The iced matcha latte w almond milk was delicious. It's a good place to eat if you have food sensitivities, as I do! All ingredients are listed on the menu. read more

Probably one of the healthiest breakfast places I've been to! We came in at a weird time so there was no wait. The interior was really cute and cozy but seating could spread out a little: I could barely pull out my chair because of the table behind us. We ordered the Big Brekkie and PLATE with a side of potato wedges. Everything was very lightly seasoned and not too filling. Potatoes could use a bit more seasoning but with the hot sauce they were great. They did forget to take the tomatoes out for me but it wasn't a big issue. Solid place if you're craving a healthy breakfast and coffee. read more

This is the second Bluestone location that I have visited this year and I am extremely impressed. Unique breakfast options that are simply delicious. Great coffee, cappuccino and juices. And one of the most incredible staffs. I'm not sure what training the owner has set up with his staff but in the 2 locations I have dined in I am just blown away by the professionalism and general personalities of the staff. They have made the experience as great as the food. Just simply an amazing place. read more

Bluestone Lane was in a great location and had a wonderful atmosphere. We sat right next to their floor to ceiling windows and got to enjoy the views and morning sunshine. It was a great way to start our day. As for their food, I had the proscuitto and egg roll, and a double shot espresso. Both came out cold as if it had been sitting on the counter for minutes. The bread on the sandwich was on the stale hard to bite and chew side of the spectrum - it could have most definitely benefited from being toasted prior to assembly. I'd come back to have the baked goods that they offer. Keep in mind, these are bought from another bakery. read more

Cold, sterile atmosphere. No paper menus. Server instructed to scan QR code on table. Menu wouldn't load on either of our phones in spite of having 3 bars. Their WiFi requires giving your email. Walked out and left. read more

Amazing coffee, and great looking food. However, more expensive than I figured it would be, being rated two "dollar sign". I would probably say closer to three. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely!! read more

Came here to find a spot to spend my afternoon reading a book and people watching. The interiors are spacious and very nice and bright. The windows allow for a lot of natural light making the place a must visit for breakfast or brunch. The only thing I tried and will definitely go back for is their cappuccino. It was positively one of the best cappuccinos I have had in DC thus far. read more

They removed my review. It was 1 star. One of the worst meals my wife and I have ever had. I'm not sure what they want me to do. Post an image from my credit card statement. Place is literally trash. read more

Loved it. Planning on returning tomorrow for lunch. Convenient to my doctor's office. Food was great. Had a cup of yogurt with fresh fruit and a glass of cold brew coffee. Service was great. Nice and clean place. Will check out one of the yummy looking dessert! read more

I was excited to find this place and try their breakfast. The interior is super cute and the menu looked delicious. We ordered the green baked eggs and the big brekkie. I was pretty disappointed with the big brekkie, which includes avocado smash. It was hidden under some greens and there was not much avocado at all. I'm wondering if it was just a fluke since they were pretty busy at the time. The green baked eggs were good though! read more

Awful experience for the first time at this location. Very disappointed. I went to brunch with a friend there, I order my food and I took more than an hour to serve me, my friend already had hers. I went to ask for my order TWICE and the ladies at the register told me they already checked with the kitchen staff, that they don't have nothing to do with them. Finally, they brought me my order in a BOX TO GO!! when I never asked for to go. They took it back to the kitchen and put my food in a plate. Food was already cold, and the waitress never gave us any water. Very disappointed I would rate your staff CERO here. We gave them tips for courtesy but really did not deserve it. read more

I love this place, but It is a tad pricey for what you get. This location is super open and bright. It feels like you're dining in a gorgeous tropical atrium. The drinks are supreme and the food is expertly cooked. So fresh. So clean. So flavorful. The portion sizes are a little small so if you're really hungry you may be disappointed. read more

4 stars for service and ambiance 3.5 stars for food Well lit and airy space for a great coffee date or to work. Food tastes good but is on the smaller side. Limited menu, too. Wouldn't recommend coming here to get full, but good for a small, light bite. read more

Bluestone Lane in this location has deteriorated.Though the staff are very nice, unfortunately they are not taking the orders accurately. We asked for decaf coffee and got caffeinated. I asked for extra hot coffee and got it lukewarm. We asked for almond milk and got cows milk. The order for the coffee came after the food. All in all, this was not a great experience. Management needs to train the staff more effectively so they do the orders accurately. The product is very good but it needs to come as a customer orders it read more

My husband and I met up with a long-time friend at Bluestone Lane and had an absolutely fantastic experience! First, the service we received from Colin was truly exceptional. He was very professional, knowledgable about the menu, made wonderful menu and drink suggestions, and was very attentive to our table! Colin truly went above and beyond to demonstrate exemplary customer service and we really appreciate it! Second, the food was fresh and delicious! I never thought I would be a fan of avocado toast but I can safely say that I have been converted! Can't wait to visit again! read more

Luke warm coffee. Cold environment. Loud metal chairs on concrete. Thin small bacon slices. Get humans back to take orders. Just a sad experience. Sorry. read more

Delicious! I ordered the Athlete's Burrito for breakfast and it was full of flavor! My boyfriend ordered the Avocado toast and it looked amazing. Good bang for your buck and would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Strange limited menu (mainly toast/bread related) but perhaps perfect for hipsters seeking the holy avocado toast and related culinary offerings. The oven was not working when we visited and the coffee was mediocre. We had the coconut and corn soup, which was weird. The Green Eggs which were not green. The banana bread was the highlight though but we are not in hurry to revisit. Updating my review from 3 to 2 stars. Today I spent half an hour waiting for my salmon bowl which never turned up. I am constantly underwhelmed by the service here... read more

Excellent breakfast and brunch food. The açaí bowl was amazing and the waffles were excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

My experience at Bluestone Lane was top tier. My server seated me in the perfect spot that had a great view. I was constantly checked on and didn't need for anything. My service was awesome and I would definitely recommend to a friend. read more

We walked in and stood in line behind one group of three (we also were three) and were told, with little confidence, "15 minutes" by the Asian "hostess." The group ahead was seated and as we waited our turn the group of four, behind us, was seated first. Slightly perplexed, we waited until she called us. Admittedly, one in our group is using a knee-scooter and has a soft cast on due to surgery. As she points to our table I inform her that we will not fit. It is a standard two-person table in the middle of other tables with a third chair. She looks lost and perplexed that we won't take the table. We sit back down and wait another ten minutes. We get back up and she walks over and points to a table. I can't remember if I've ever been pointed to a table. Fortunately (depending on how you look at it) we were not subjected to, seemingly, irregular discourteous service. As we passed the group of three that sat before us, they were seated at a table for two. Also, after we were seated, she was pointing another customer to a table (there was some confusion on his part of which table...but she held her ground with her pointed finger). Once we were seated, Austin was very attentive and provided great service. The food was delicious. I had the avocado toast with poached egg. It definitely wasn't a short wait, but it was worth it. Overall, a nice place. Unfortunately, the first part of the visit is prohibitive of returning. It's apparent the hostess was not trained or trained poorly. She is the first encounter a customer has and, to all accounts, it starts with a lot of room for improvement. read more

I visiting DC and finally found a coffee place that actually roast their own beans. I am bit of a coffee snob since Iam from California I pretty particular in my taste for coffee. Bluestone Lame hands down beat all the coffee joints I've tried in the DC area. I order the flat white with oat milk and best mate bowl. Flat white tasted delicious still able to taste the espresso notes. The bowl was delicious also good portions great atmosphere clean facilities and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Can't wait to try the nespresso pods when I get home! read more

Bluestone Lane in West End is a great place for a healthy brunch and a great coffee. They have an excellent flat white(it's an Australian coffee shop). I've had the breakfast bowl and green baked eggs and both are tasty. The service is also great. I gave it 4 stars because it is a bit pricey. read more

You'll experience the magical moment of walking INSIDE a building but feeling like you're OUTSIDE in a beautiful forest! The ambiance is stunning. From the floor to the high ceilings inundated with blue and green accents. My boyfriend wanted decaf and they use Swiss water method which was a huge plus, for those who care! I ordered a latte ($4) and the barista called me over to choose between a swan and a bunny to draw on my coffee! I thought it was such a sweet, personable service even for a single cup of latte. The decaf tasted amazing, very bold and smooth. The latte lacked flavor for me but it had a cute bunny so I was still happy like a child. The café is connected to the public library which I thought was interesting but what a great idea so you can read books while enjoying their coffee :) I would like to come back to try their food next time! read more

Best lattes in DC. Staff is so friendly and kind. My favorite place to have lunch or coffee and a treat !

Friendly staff, lots of seating available both inside and outside. Ability to order on the touchscreen was a nice feature. It was easy to navigate and pay. Both employees I interacted with were very warm and welcoming. Got the breakfast sandwich and it was pretty average. Would go back for coffee and chill vibe read more

What a great place to eat lots of Gluten free I had gluten free banana bread husband had breakfast everything thing was great Great ice tea read more

Very overpriced. Golden Latte was barely warm, not sweet and tasted very green. Croissant was cold, they didn't bother to heat it up. Wifi did not work and tables are small. Overall food was okay but not a good place to study. read more

I went to Soul Cycle for the 6am class on a Friday before work with my boyfriend and we were looking for a place to eat breakfast. I remembered that Bluestone Lane was about a block away and I had been meaning to try it so we decided to head over. We got there right as they opened at 7:30am and sat outside. I ordered an iced latte which had the perfect ratio of milk to espresso. I didn't even need to add any sugar. To eat I got the green baked eggs which had chimichurri, cherry tomatoes, spinach, portobello mushrooms & feta all served in a hot skillet w/ multigrain toast. I am so happy I ordered this! It was healthy but also tasted delicious. The toast was thick cut and was perfect to dipping and scraping the bottom of the skillet. I will definitely be coming back for the great coffee, food and service! read more

The waitress was very rude. She clearly kicked us out with the worse attitude. This place doesn't seem to be interested in doing business.

I have been to thee locations in DC - Georgetown: seating is not good, very limited indoors and a couple outdoors - the one near GW: plenty of seatings indoors and outdoors and it is more like a sit down place with waiting staff - DuPont: my personal favorite I tried the macha latte and it was great! Creamy, not sweet and high-quality of matcha powder. It sures comes with a price tag but nice to try. Give yourself a treat! read more
