    I love bluestone lane and like that this location is more of a formal sit down vs coffee shop feel like the others. You can stop in if you just want to grab coffee though! I know I can always count on their drinks being good! My favorites are the matcha latte (I think they have one of the best in the city) and the flavored lattes that are seasonal. The vibes are great in here because it's never super packed so you can get a seat and the seating is glass so you can see outside. Staff is friendly and attentive. Bathrooms are clean.

    Bluestone Lane Cafe whisked me away on a delightful journey back to my first European café experience. Picture this, a cozy setting, the aroma of fresh coffee in the air, and the perfect cup in hand. Can you say latte? Our Cinnamon Almond Lattes were nothing short of perfection, rich, creamy, and topped with a heart shape to celebrate Valentine's Day. They were truly a work of art, especially when paired with a delightful chocolate cookie that melted in your mouth, adding to the overall experience. Our server, who managed the room with grace and expertise, was an absolute gem. He guided us toward the best choices, enhancing our meal with his recommendations. When our food arrived, it was a feast for the eyes. The pancakes were served in individual cast iron pans, adding a rustic charm to the presentation. The eggs and bacon were flawlessly cooked and utterly delicious. The ambiance played a significant role in our experience too; with glass walls on three sides, the café felt open and airy, seamlessly connected to the library next door. Our table was perfectly situated to enjoy our lattes, but when breakfast arrived, it felt a bit cramped. With all those delightful dishes spread out, more space would have made the experience even better. Nonetheless, we managed to savor every bite.

    Very cute cafe! The cashier was working alone during a busy time and still made time to answer our questions and was very nice! We ordered a matcha latte and an iced latte with strawberry syrup. The matcha latte wasn't very good and tasted like almond milk. The iced latte was better! But still not the best latte, Maybe if we had come at a less busy time it would have been better.

    Tasty breakfast! I had the avocado toast with bacon. It was tasty and very filling. I enjoyed the flat white as well. It was definitely a tasty breakfast!

    Yummy deliciousness

    Bluestone Lane Cafe really took me on a delightful journey loved the ambiance very cozy , the aroma of fresh coffee in the air and coffee filled to the brim. The Cinnamon Almond Lattes were very delicious and cutesy , rich, creamy, and topped with a heart shape to celebrate Valentine's and I got a chocolate cookie that was mouth watering , the service was exceptional and all together my overall experience was great, the next time I pass through NW I will definitely stop in again.

    This is a great breakfast spot and the service is super fast! The coffee was really tasty and the food was also great! It is a cool location that is also attached to the library. They have outdoor seating as well which is nice on a good day. I would definitely come back here again!

    Bright, spacious, and airy, exuding sun-swept Australian cafe fare in a relaxing and welcoming environment, adjacent and opening into the West End Library. How cool is that! Bluestone Lane offers an experience akin to strolling through the beach on a Sunday morning in Manly across the water from Sydney and enjoying "Brekkie" or breakfast at a beachside cafe. The interior architecture is stunning and the space, adorned with floor to ceiling windows, is absolutely stunning. Service was sweet, unassuming but attentive. On a rainy Winter weekday I enjoyed a superb cappuccino and and a pretty darn authentic Aussie Brekkie, an Avocado Smash with feta, heirloom tomatoes and the freshest herbs on perfectly toasted multigrain. The delicious meal was drizzled with tasty EVOO and chili flakes. It-was-perfection!

    Really cute cafe but is pretty formal! They have alcohol/wine but I just stopped in for a coffee. I got the iced cinnamon cookie crumble latte.

    Bluestone Lane is amazing! My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while. We particularly were drawn to the fact it is Australian themed and founded by an Australian Footballer as Australia is our favorite country we have yet to set foot. My wife and I finally went for Sunday brunch before a matinee show at the Kennedy Center. The ambiance and decor is amazing and the service is fast and friendly. The food and drinks are also amazing. To drink we got the Bondi Blue and Berry Brekkie Smoothies, a large Cold Brew, and a large Melbourne Iced Tea. For food we got Banana Bread, a Soft Chili Scramble with Avocado and Brisket, and a Side Summer Salad. We look forward to certainly trying more food and drink items in the future. They also take InKind, but you have to let them know and they'll ask you to place an order as a take one in the app. We did not know this but the manager let us duplicate the order on InKind.

    If you are a sweet person (lol) - you will love this place!! I think for me, based on what I ordered of course, the flavors of everything was slightly too sweet, which is why I have a 4 stars and not 5. Also, I wish there were more gluten free options, *however*, I am very happy they have at least some!! The ambiance is soooo cute - photo worthy for sure. So is the presentation of the drinks and food! Also, how can you not love that it is directly connected to a library?! Huge plus for me. At first the way ordering/seating went was slightly confusing for us (we didn't know whether to seat ourselves or wait to be seated), however we eventually just sat ourselves and someone came up to us. Although, apparently you can also walk up to the counter and order and then sit! I'd check this place out for sure, and be mindful if you don't like your drinks super sweet, to make that known :)

    Solid spot for a healthy breakfast or lunch. Service can be slow, and tables are often overlooked. I love the breakfast burrito and the chili scrambled eggs.

    This is a beautiful cafe! We were here on a rainy afternoon, which was brilliant because the window walls helped us appreciate the outdoors while still feeling cozy. The cappuccino wasn't the best I've ever had and the cocoa dusting may have depleted the foam, but it was hot and the young person waiting on us was very considerate. The cafe is a regular-sized open concept restaurant and has its own entryway, and the open concept is shared with a full-sized, DC library! Books and coffee go perfectly together.

    Is there outdoor seating here? It looks like there is in the photos, but I just want to double check since I'm not comfortable with dining indoors yet.

    Hi Sharon, Thanks for reaching out! We are open for contactless outdoor dining, curbside pickup,… 

    Does anyone know what the ingredients are in their energy balls (peppermint, Goni, turmeric)? Or if it's gluten free and vegan?

    Yes all gluten free and vegan! 100 cals per ball with 4 grams of protein.

    Do they serve banana toast? I saw it in someone's Instagram picture. It had almond butter, bananas, cinnamon and honey.

    Yes

    Do they serve coffee in a cone? I just saw on instagram the NY branch does, so I was just curious.

    No! Just in a cup :)

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    Yes! Everything on the menu is available all day, except for the center portion (look at a picture of the menu and you will see what I mean).

    I've tried so many coffee shops in town, but for sure without doubt this is the best of all of…read morethem. Coffee is my souls peace ! , it's so good, and I really loved the place and the coffee they're making. I met the owner he was so cool to explain the process, which even my little loved hearing about ! Definitely one of my favorite spots here. recommended

    Coffee hits different here with the right notes. DC's diverse crowd is truly served well here…read more While not a coffee expert per se, I try to be open to different flavors nuanced and not. I tend to like sugar (too much) but try to drink black sometimes to try to appreciate the actual coffee flavor and for health reasons. Nice way to hydrate in a fancy way. Art work doesn't typically grab me but this art work did. If I had money, time, and comfortable accessibility to purchase, I would. I am sure I could order online and have shipped but I like to avoid shipping costs if I can. The realism and detail grab me in a way I like. The DC tunnel views that continue to beautify DC's respectable metro system show you that Jimmy is truly a local DC artist. It is reminiscent for me of Juniper Lane's music album cover Tightrope. I didn't notice this until after the fact but apparently when you buy art directly from here you get 15% of your purchase for more coffee here too. Wow. Why the missing star? This is kinda picky but if I wasn't looking or a foreigner, I could've accidentally added hand sanitizer to my coffee and well that's a big no no. Granted the bottle is labeled but I am not a fan of this being in the same area as the coffee add-ons. I know spacing is tight and maybe someone moved this bottle in this area but I don't get that sense and just think it's not a good setup. If this place wanted to expand , I think finding good NYC locations would be optimal as well. I am unsure if Philly would be good or not as an additional location as a coffee culture crowd. Of course I would still come back. It was worth the 15 min walk from the convention center in this hot August weather.
