Avocado toast with poached egg
Morganne M.

Great breakfast spot. Good food, cute place, ok service. I got the pumpkin cold brew which was good, not too sweet which I appreciate. Also ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg. Really great flavor with the oil/sauce and seasoning they added, one of the better avocado toasts I've had. It was a bit difficult to get a server's attention when something was needed including the check. We actually never saw our original server again after she dropped off our food, not sure if she had clocked out or not, but another server was able to help us. Would come again!

Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha Iced Latte
Amelia C.

Strawberry Cheesecake Matcha tasted like an average strawberry matcha. I didn't taste any type of cheesecake flavor. Also the strawberry flavor is very artificial. We had to order an Iced Latte bec they did not have cold brew.

Black coffee and butter croissant
Catelyn H.

The staff was busy where I visited this establishment, but they unfortunately lost my order. I ordered a black cup of coffee and a butter croissant. The croissant was great as I ate it while waiting on my beverage. I waited for about 15 minutes before I approached the counter and asked about my order and they couldn't find the ticket.... The staff made it right- but I can't help to think what would have happened if I didn't speak up.

Bluestone Lane Brekkie Board and coffee

Friendliest, most attentive service ever. They open early (maybe reconsider the 7 am ABBA?!) and provided a perfect place to attend to early-morning work emails while enjoying a delicious breakfast. I love that the "Brekkie Board" provided a combo of half-orders of yogurt/fruit/granola AND avocado toast, so I didn't have to choose. Also I don't know what is the secret behind their avocado toast but it's one of the best I ever had. Twice! I'll be back when I return to Philly for work.

Stopped here for a mid-day coffee break and I thinkni might come back. I'm the spirit of the holidays I ordered a ppumpkin spice latte and it was so smooth lol. I it's hard to find a place that makes a perfect pumpkin spice. Service was pretty good. We didn't wait long to get our order at all.

iced chai latte, flat white and pumpkin spice aussie iced latte
Van D.

Bluestone Lane was one of the first spot my coworkers and I went to together when I landed. They are an Australian coffee chain. Our original plan was to get breakfast here, but none of us say anything we wanted to eat on the menu so we just got drinks, and headed elsewhere for food. My coworkers had an Iced Chai Latte and a Flat White and I couldn't resist getting a seasonal Pumpkin Spice Aussie Iced Latte. We all enjoyed our drinks. My Pumpkin Spice Aussie Iced Latte came with a pleasant scoop of ice cream in it. Yummm... I liked it so much I ended up choosing this spot for a meeting later during the week when I reordered the same drink. My colleague ordered a Cappuccino and also complimented the coffee. They mentioned being hungry, but after glancing at the menu also decided not to eat here. So my first drink tasted a lot better than my second drink, so something about the way they were made was inconsistent. Also the food menu has room for improvement. The food price was also on the high side for not being anything too desirable.

Wow, so much better than the usual type place. We won't mention the name. The drinks are great and staff are very friendly. I must say for the very short time Beas able to be in here the experience was great. One of the workers explained this is not just a Philly or east cost coffee place they are across the US.

Just arrived into Philly and needed something light for my wife to have not to be hungry before our busy afternoon. We found this place in Yelp, and it looks fancy from the outside but is so homey inside. Blue and white colors are very inviting. We went with an iced latte with vanilla and oat milk, and ai had an earl grey tea with vanilla and low fat milk. The server brought my wife a nice tall glass and, for me, a tea kettle with the tea steeping. and the vanilla and milk on the side. We shared a gluten-free banana bread with a side of ricotta and berry's. very tasty and wonderful service. Sorry, not the prettiest photo as my wife could not wait to eat!

Soft Chili Scramble w/ Avocado
Soprina G.

Bluestone lane is a cafe where you can bring people to sit and chat. The atmosphere is pleasant and has more seating than most cafes in the rittenhouse area. You can go in for just a coffee or make it a whole brunch! Their coffee is brewed nicely and they have many specialty drinks like their Aussie iced latte (pretty much a milkshake with coffee!) I love getting their soft chili scramble since it's loaded with food and flavor. Their athletes burrito is also a classic for me and protein heavy. I love coming to blue line, it hasn't disappointed!

Athletes Burrito
Kelly M.

This was a difficult choice. Was it 3 star? Was it 4 star? We really liked the athletes burrito - it was hearty and well balanced. The cappuccino was a hit. But the gluten free banana bread - for the cost we expected a lot more pecans (there were maybe 4 tiny bits) and the edible flowers as advertised. I liked the bread but my dining partner hated it, sharing that it was grainy and didn't really have a banana flavor. It was ok but was certainly not worth the cost. The cafe itself was really nicely decorated. It felt open yet charming, with lots of windows. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We'd totally return for the athletes burrito and cappuccino!

Liz L.

Stopped by Bluestone Lane and got the iced chai--it looked promising, but it ended up tasting pretty watery. Not bad, just lacked that bold, spicy flavor & creaminess I was hoping for. Might give it another shot, but this one didn't quite hit.

Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!

Dear reader, We went…read moreto City Tap in Philly with a large group just for drinks and had a thoroughly good time. The $10 martinis on Friday were an excellent deal and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. A well-priced martini always sets a promising tone, and these did exactly that. The bartenders were helpful and kept things moving impressively well, even with a group our size, which was much appreciated. The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.
