    Bluestone Lane is one of those places that checks off every single box in my book. There's nothing like a perfectly cured cup of espresso or tea while you're looking over a small menu that has well thought out and clean ingredients. I have to admit that the Aussie style breakfast is along with different twist on certain things that you wouldn't typically have for breakfast or initially caught my eye. I started off with the golden latte. It was a beautifully balanced turmeric latte with almond milk with a perfect amount of sweetness. Not only was it gut healing, but it's super warming on a chilly morning. While I was looking over the menu, I was between the breakfast burrito since everybody was ordering it or the soft scramble with chili oil. I landed on the soft scrambled chili crunch. It was served with a half avocado and rye toast the others in our party ordered pancakes, bacon, a chicken sandwich and a Yuzu drink. Everything came out in a timely manner and beautifully plated. I absolutely loved the soft scramble on Rye. It was a perfect serving size as well as hitting the spot for a not so traditional breakfast. As we're sitting there, I noticed everybody was ordering the lemon ricotta pancakes, so I could not resist and ordered some as well. I will say the most underwhelming part of that was the lemon ricotta pancakes due to the ratios for the pancake pancakes and lemon ricotta. Overall, my experience was spectacular. I cannot wait to go back to Bluestone Lane to try other menu items.

    Vanilla latte. Not too sweet. Perfect

    This place is fantastic. We were instantly welcomed by a very sweet young lady with red hair. I LOVE being greeted in this way-it sets the tone for the whole experience. Our server was great and the other young lady that helped cash us out was so personable. 5 stars for the staff, now onto the food. You must order the BL Burrito and vanilla latte. The burrito was flavorful and not spicy. I would order it again for sure. Excellent experience.

    This cafe is such a cute spot! Everything was amazing from service to food! When we walked in we were greeted and helped out right away, our server was also very sweet and gave some great recommendations. The quality of the food taste very fresh! My husband and I really enjoyed it, we think it's definitely a must try if you're in old town Orange!

    croissant breakfast sandwich

    Located a block away from the Circle, this charming eatery serves breakfast dishes (all day) and sandwiches as well as various coffees. I came with a friend for a late lunch and, upon entering, was told to take a seat anywhere. There are many tables inside and a nice patio, but it was too hot on this day to sit outdoors. We were immediately given a carafe of water and soon ordered our meals. I decided on a croissant sandwich with bacon, scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, with chipotle mayo, along with a hot mocha. The sandwich was superb! The fresh croissant is what really elevated it. The ingredients were all basic but the combination made for a perfect breakfast sandwich. The sandwich came with wedges (I used to call them jojos), which were crisp outside and potatoey-soft inside. Yummy. The mocha was exquisite, a perfect blend of espresso and chocolate, served at an immediately drinkable temperature in a cute mug. Best mocha I've ever had? Probably! Note: Easy parking a block away in the free structure on Lemon Street.

    Came here on the way to LA from SD and thought it would be a cute brunch place with the family. Staff was overall friendly and the menu had many vegetarian options. They do have a kid menu and high chairs. I thought the food was tasty and for ambiance prices are fair. There was either no wait or a short wait on a Sunday morning. I also saw patrons studying or doing work solo like a cafe. We tried their green goddess salad which was very tasty and light. Their mushroom truffle grilled cheese was delicious as well and came with chips. The kids tried a fairy toast which was a cute idea- buttered toast with sprinkles. They also have protein smoothies, coffee, and tea. The smoothie we tried was good as well and I did not taste the protein. They have outdoor seating.

    Came here with a group of 9 and they put us at the big table in the back. Aesthetic is really cute and the servers were attentive. My main reason for giving it 2 stars is because our entire table got their dishes except for 1. After asking two different servers, we were never really given an answer as to where her dish was. Finally someone came by saying it's coming ... yet it took another 5 minutes (by this time, almost everyone was done). The server just handed us the last dish with no apology and simply walked away. I would have expected that dish to be comped for coming out almost 20 minutes later than everyone else's but it wasn't. She took off someone else's drink on our bill instead? Didn't make much sense. Lastly, the pancakes were so sooo dry.

    Nice open patio on a Saturday morning

    Food - Get the B.L.A.T.E sandwich! You can skip the lemon ricotta pancakes that everyone seems to rave about? We ordered them to try since the were mentioned so much every time we heard about Bluestone but they weren't anything special. They were good but there was too much ricotta and hardly any lemon IMO. The sandwich though, 5 stars! My husband and I couldn't decide between the sandwich and the burrito so we got both to split and while both were good, the sandwich was the star of the day. The little fries on the side were also delicious Coffee - meh. We both got vanilla lattes, I don't love overly sweet coffee but this one didn't taste like it didn't have any syrup in it. I would come back for the food but not the coffee. Ambiance - cute, clean and bright. Can't beat cute little old town to walk around when you're done either. Service - My husband and I came in for breakfast before the Valentine's Day rush states everywhere, I think we showed up shortly after 9 and were seated right away and our orders came out in a fair amount of time Price - for our 2 lattes and basically 3 dishes, it was $82 I think? With tip? Pricey for breakfast IMO but it is what it is. The prices are probably about the same at any other spot in eye sight too.

    Cute Aussie inspired brunch place in Old Town Orange. Pretty busy on a Saturday morning. It was understaffed so service was a bit lacking. But the food was good, as was the coffee. I got soft chili avocado egg toast on multigrain bread, delicious. Breakfast bowl and brekkie board looked nice too. Quality offerings, would recommend.

    We finally checked out Bluestone Lane in Orange and honestly left feeling pretty underwhelmed, so we are giving it 3 stars. We had the avocado smash and one of the grain bowls, but both were very mediocre and just lacked any real flavor for the price. We also felt like the service was pretty much absent the entire time we were there, which made the experience even more frustrating. To top it off, the whole place was kind of dirty, from the tables to the floors, which isn't really what you want when you are trying to enjoy a meal. The one saving grace is the outside patio area. It is a really nice spot to sit on a clear day and we love that it is doggie friendly so our four legged family members can join us. There is also plenty of metered parking nearby which makes getting there easy. While the patio vibe is great, the lack of cleanliness and subpar food mean we probably will not be back.

    The food took very long but I guess it was a little busy. The water pitcher was a little dirty and it took a long time to get out food. The portions were very small as well. When we asked for an extra plate they would take a long time and when we needed a refill it took a long time. Overall would not go again.

    First time trying Bluestone for lunch! Really cute decor/spacious seating area. The servers we had were great, very attentive. I had the Warm Chicken & Ancient Grains Bowl and it was super filling. Our table also ordered some wedges to share and those were CRISPY, if you appreciate good potato with a crunch, you'll love the wedges. Their Spring Trellis tea was also super refreshing. Very floral and not sweet. Love the vibes and will definitely be coming again to try some of their breakfast options next time!

    Me and my boyfriend were looking for a pick me up and we wanted coffee . I got the iced vanilla latte and he got the quad latte iced with oat milk . Both of the coffees were really good and you can tell that the beans were super fresh . We don't get any food because we were full but the food sounded super amazing . Overall the service was great and the cashier was really friendly. The ambience is in this place is super cute and I love the aesthic .

    Best baristas ever!!

    Bluestone Lane has easily become my favorite study spot!! The atmosphere is perfect---calm, welcoming, and just the right balance of lively without being distracting. It's the kind of place where you can actually focus and enjoy being there for a few hours. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are just as good. What really sets this location apart, though, is the staff. Julie, Abby, Maddy, Maggie, and Emma are all amazing--genuinely some of the friendliest, most welcoming servers I've come across. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and taken care of, and it really shows. Overall, I love this place. Great food, great drinks, and even better people. Highly recommend if you're looking for a go-to study spot or just a really enjoyable café experience.

    Is Bluestone Lane still open? I saw a post saying "permanently closed"! I hope that isnt true!

    I was there Saturday this past Saturday. It was open and busy doing great.

    Is this a place where i can bring my laptop to work? I wasn't sure if you had plug outlets and if you were a table service location.

    Yes they have plug outlets so you can bring your laptop there for work, but they only have few plugs. They also have free wifi for customers.

    Do you take reservations? It sounds like maybe via Resy only which appears to be Apple only app

    Do you allow dogs on the patio?

    I believe they do. At least I've seen them there.

One thing to keep in mind is that parking isn't free, and depending on the time of day, it can be a little challenging to find parking if you're just stopping by for coffee. I tried two different lattes and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. Yuli, the barista, truly did her best to make it right and was so sweet, which I wholeheartedly appreciated. Her service alone made me want to give this spot a higher rating. That said, the lattes were a 2/5 for me. They tasted too milky, and the coffee had an aftertaste I personally wasn't fond of.

The coffee is delicious when served sweet and creamy and the staff is always nice to adjust your drink if you don't like it. I typically order the Iced Mint Mojito as its fresh, sweet, delicious and comes with fresh mint! This time I opted for the new seasonal Cashew Cocoa. This drink was also delicious, but a little too sweet for me, and if you don't like cashew milk I would opt for a different beverage. The pastries are on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you order the almond croissant or cinnamon roll, but the flavor is there. The blueberry muffin was probably my favorite as it was so moist and paired well with my coffee. This Orange establishment is nice and offers games (like most Philz') so you and your friends/family can play, while enjoying a coffee or pastry. The company even offers used coffee ground to take home for your garden - a full recycle moment! The staff is always pleasant and friendly, and each barista usually has a name tag in front of their station.

Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.

Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out.
