Julie and Maddie were super attentive and great servers the food was great and the vibes Better

If I could give Bluestone six stars, I absolutely would! My daughter celebrated her Sweet 16 brunch here, and they made the occasion even more special. Kento and Julie were incredibly warm, and accommodating from start to finish. They went above and beyond to help us set everything up, and the space turned out to be charming. The menu was really good--every dish was delicious. Between the amazing food, exceptional service, and beautiful ambiance, Bluestone truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for any special celebration! read more

Bluestone Lane - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

It was my first time visiting this cafe, and I didn't know that it was an Australian-style coffee company and chain restaurant. I was also a little surprised to learn that it was a sit-down restaurant. You can order through a server or the QR code on your table. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted, and the servers were patient with me as I browsed the menu. I ordered a cold brew and a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. For my cold brew, I had it half-and-half. It was decently tasty and strong. I noticed that I had begun to drink it quickly, so I decided to take my time. I'm not sure if I can tell the difference in taste between cold brews and iced coffees. However, I can appreciate how this cafe takes 12 hours to formulate their cold brew flavor per their menu. I'd definitely consider coming back here to try one of their coffees served with vanilla ice cream. I also enjoyed the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The meal was quite filling and tasty as it came with some little potato wedges. I especially liked how the egg had a fluffy texture. The bacon was on the thinner side, but the other ingredients overall made for an enjoyable croissant sandwich. At times, the sandwich can feel naturally oily. It also came with some chipotle mayo, and I liked how it had more of a subtle taste. The table included a cloth napkin, which was helpful because I had to wipe my hands a lot. The ambience was nice with a mix of upbeat and relaxed electronic music in the background. There's a lot of space as well for small and big groups, including bar seating and a large outdoor patio. When I went in, it wasn't busy. The employees here were nice, friendly, and patient. They reiterated that I could stay in as long as I desired as I was studying. This cafe is among many other coffeeshops and restaurants in the area. There is a large parking structure on N. Lemon St. that's only a block's walk away from here. read more

This place is cute. Such good vibes. I was really feeling it when we walked in. This would be my first time trying it. The food looks v yummy. It's picture perfect but the actual execution and service were lacking. My friend and I went on a nearby hike and then stopped in here for brunch after. We got in a little before 11am. Server came by to ask for drink orders. We ordered a couple drinks to share. We ordered an oak milk flat. Server asked if we wanted ice and said no, that we wanted it normal. I ordered a matcha latte with oak milk and they asked if I wanted sweetener, I said ok to the honey option and wanted it 25% sweetened. Then we order food. We waited a loooooong time for drinks to come. When it finally arrives, the order was wrong. They brought an iced coffee. My friend wanted caffeine already and said ok to the drink, I said let them remake it. He took one sip and said it was all wrong, I tried it and I see what he meant, it had hazelnut flavors and too much sugar. So he went up and said yes, make a typical flat white hot. So we waited a while longer. Then the original server comes and she says the oak milk draft comes with ice. We said no, we wanted the oak milk flat. She said that's what you ordered though. And I wish she had just apologized and said she misheard and oak flat was coming right up. It was a debacle and then finally the right coffee drink comes and we downed it. Another long while and food comes. We had ordered the BL burrito and lemon ricotta pancakes. - BL burrito: was tiny and very mid. The wedges it came with were delicious though. Def get the wedges. Super crispy and tasty. - Lemon ricotta pancakes: super dry and dense! When the pancakes first came out, I was super excited. They looked just like Japanese soufflé pancakes. I thought for sure they'd be light and fluffy. Total opposite and disappointing. They were dense and hard to eat. The flavors weren't v good either. Something seemed off. We left more than half this dish behind. We didn't get checked in on v much, otherwise I would've said the pancakes weren't good. Server brought the bill and they didn't remove the oak milk flat from the bill even though it was her mistake. On top of that, the splash of honey was upcharged $1, which no one told me! Had I known I would've skipped. I don't need sweetness. Also, oat milk is also upcharged $1 in a flat white, which no one let us know. Very nickel and dime here. She also asked if we wanted a box for the pancakes and I said no bc we didn't like them. She just said ok. I def wish I had asked for one of the items to be removed. I just felt so unpleased with the meal. I felt a bit led astray by all the positive reviews for my first time here. I guess it's hit or miss and I got a miss. I wish we went across the street to one of the other tried and true and better rated establishments instead but I wanted to try something new. I won't be returning. read more

I found this amazing place by accident! My colleague and I had to meet to discuss issues at work, and we needed a quaint place to eat and chat. I ordered the most delicious blueberry matcha and almond croissant. The waitress was so kind to us and chatted with us. She made us feel so comfortable. The service was excellent. It is a very beautiful place inside, very bright and has beautiful pictures in the walls. My colleague and I will be going for brunch next time. I met some of the other employees on my way out and they were so friendly and open. Please go to this wonderful getaway - perfect for any occasion!! read more

A very comfortable and pleasant breakfast. The ambiance is so bright and open. The seating is comfortable and spacious. I enjoyed my coffee and my breakfast burrito. Unfortunately, the service started well, but after taking our order, we never saw our server again...as this is a small place, I'm going to assume there was some miscommunication among the staff. So, yes, I'll return again. read more

Our server, Liam, was 10/10 when it came to customer service. He was super friendly, attentive, and very helpful with recommendations for both the food and drinks. We ordered the Strawberry Matcha Lattes, and they were delicious. I loved that you could taste the real strawberry pieces at the bottom of the drink. For food, we ordered the Warm Chicken & Ancient Grains bowl, which was really tasty. It had a fresh, lemony flavor that I absolutely loved. We also ordered the Ricotta Pancakes because they looked very appealing on the menu. Unfortunately, they were disappointing. The presentation was cute, the stack came with 3 pancakes, but the pancakes were smaller than a regular sized pancake. More importantly, they were very dry and not flavor. The ricotta topping was okay, but it wasn't enough to make up for the pancakes themselves. I really liked the overall concept of the restaurant. It has a cute beach vibe, and I especially loved the beach-style hanging lamps. Overall, it was a decent experience. I may come back and give it another try, but mostly because of the excellent service. Liam definitely made the visit memorable and deserves recognition for providing such outstanding customer service. read more

Bluestone Lane - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cute little brunch spot in Old Town Orange. The food is delicious and has you leaving energized for your afternoon activities.

I was in between a 4 and a 5.... Overall, this place is great. Everything on the menu sounded great. I opted for a grain bowl that came with a poached egg, but my egg was beyond boiled haha it was definitely not poached. The tomatoes were a little old, but overall it was a good dish. The gluten free banana bread was also really good! I shared it with my gluten loving guy and he also loved it. It's a nice vibe, no wait on this particular Saturday afternoon because people were at bars watching the World Cup. The matcha was ok, but I'm a snob about my matcha. The only negative thing that my group and I noticed was that 3-4 different girls came over to get our order before we were ready. I appreciate the attention, but we all felt like they were rushing us a bit. Our friends had kids, and we needed a beat to get them settled. We'll still come back for food, for sure... but may skip on the matcha. Cold brew was delicious! read more

Poor service. Sat down but didn't get a chance to eat there because the employees seemed to be overwhelmed. I waited about 15 min and didn't get attended to so I left. They need better training. I think the manager was there but busy talking to his friends not helping at all. It looked like they had one server and one bartender in this restaurant. It's a nice looking place though. I felt misled my all the positive comments and I really wanted to try this restaurant. Two stars, instead of one for potential. read more

We planned on having brunch here yesterday after visiting Thompson Building Materials' design center in Orange as I had bookmarked this place for a while now. Finding parking in Old Town Orange on the weekends can be gnarly so I stood in line while my hubs looked for street parking. They don't take reservations and the wait took about 20 mins. Nice decor, light and bright inside. The service was friendly. We ordered coffee and hot chocolate but they were not hot. My hubs ordered the BL Burrito while I opted for the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Unfortunately, both items were underwhelming for the price. For the pancakes, I expected the lemon ricotta in the batter, but since the lemon curd was poured on top, only the top cake had a hint of lemon and ricotta. The BL Burrito was just ok. For those who use inKind to pay their tab, you must place your order from the app. You cannot just pay at the end of your meal and enter the receipt # as all other restaurants do. read more

My experience at Bluestone lane was just okay. The interior is decorated very cute and whimsical. The atmosphere is calm and located in the beautiful old town Orange. The food was alright, I enjoyed my avocado toast but it was nothing special. My boyfriend ordered a sandwich that was kind of dry. They forgot to bring the sauce for him, which was supposed to be a creamy relish I think? But the sauce they brought out looked like curdled sour cream with chili. Smelled and tasted very off... They also forgot to add the cheese on my avocado toast (it's pictured since we asked for it afterwards), took 20 mins to take our order even though it was empty, and overall the service seemed rude. The coffee also was just okay, nothing memorable. Wish the service and food was better since it is a very pretty location. read more

Bluestone Lane is so charming. I love the cafe ambiance here. It's in Old Towne Orange just off the circle. There isn't a ton of parking, so best to park in a lot and walk over. The BLATE (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato and egg was HEAVENLY. The brioche bun was soft and the perfect complement for the breakfast sandwich. The potato wedges were decent although I could have done without them. I also had their version of an Americano and I have to say, the best espresso flavor I have had in a long time. Good flavor without being too bitter. The service was good, although I think one server had the entire restaurant and that seemed like too much for one person. She was incredibly nice and helpful. The music was a little loud and didn't quite fit the ambiance, but that may just be a me thing. Overall, will return! read more

I discovered Bluestone Lane, an Austrailian cafe, in Philadelphia and I loved it so much I literally made it my go-to meeting spot while I was travelling for work. I was so excited to find out that I had a local version in Old Towne Orange, however the experience was not as exciting here. On my first visit they were out of ice cream, which makes it impossible to make the Aussie Latte I like. That day they loss my business to Blk Dot Coffee next door. I decided not to write a review that day to give them another chance, because I REALLY enjoyed my visit in Philly. On my latest visit I came back and there seemed to be chaos again. Staff warned me they were 2 people short, and there could be a 30 minute delay. I'm like even for coffee?? They're like ohh coffee is okay. So I got my Aussie Latte ($6.50/20 oz). Mhmmm not the same. The coffee flavor was not as strong as I remembered and I wonder if it's because they're understaffed and rushed my coffee... but this is already a second chance. I'm not really interested in coming back. Hopefully the location in LA will be better. read more

Came to Bluestone Lane in the Orange Circle for brunch with friends and had such a great experience! It wasn't too crowded when we arrived, so we got seated right away. Our server was super friendly and welcoming -- she really made the meal even better. We ordered a variety of dishes -- the berry-topped pancakes in the skillet were fresh and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, the avocado toast with eggs had great flavor and a nice kick from the seasoning, and the grilled cheese sandwich (served with chips) was perfectly toasted and melty inside. Everything came out quickly and was beautifully presented. The cozy, relaxed vibe plus great service made this a spot I'd definitely come back to for a casual brunch in the area. read more
