We were visitng Philadelphia and wanted to have a good breakfast experience. I read reviews for various cafes and decided Bluestone Lane would be a good choice. Upon entering the cafe, it had a modern vibe with nice ambiance and some trendy tunes playing in the background and not too load. We were fairly quickly seated and provided with the menues. The service was good, and the coffee cups were generous considering I had ordered a capuccino, and sometimes the portion is small. The food was tasty and fresh. I had the waffel with lemon riccota and it was just perfect (not too sweet). My wife had the avocado plate with eggs as well as a latte. We enjoyed our meal to start the day. read more

Really delicious and flavorful food, coffee and smoothies. The service is quick and staff is great. Plenty of seating space. read more

I am giving 3 stars as a combination of food and service (food 4 stars and service 2.5 stars). My daughter and I went here on a Sunday close to 12pm. There was a table for 2 so we sat there. We were told to order via the QR code on the table. We ordered 2 entrees and 2 drinks. First thing we realized was all the tables were given bottle of water. There were only 2 servers running around (and they did not look too happy). After 10 minutes we had to ask for the water, and one of the server looked embarrassed that the water bottle wasn't given to us earlier). I saw some people asking for the actual paper menu, do this instead of ordering via QR code. Seems like getting the actual menu was more effective to get the server's attention. Then we saw tables who came after us getting their food. So we had to flag down the server again and ask about the food. She said it's been very busy so our food will be out soon. The drinks came out first. I got flat white, and my daughter got Coconut Expresso Cloud. The drinks must have been sitting on the bar counter for a while because what was once a foam design on my flat white was kind of dissipated. My daughter's drink which supposedly should have slight two tones got all blended together. She even had to ask the employee if this was what she ordered, and he kind of mumbled it was (I seriously think initially he was not sur The saving grace of this dining experience was the food. I read some reviews that people were disappointed with the food, but we actually enjoyed the food. read more

It was busy when we went so I can't say we had the typical experience. We were seated and after 20mins we had seen multiple people order at the bar. We went to order at the bar and another 30mins passed before our order was up. We didn't love the food, but u chose the place based on a local saying it was a solid simple choice. So I have faith it was just due to how busy they were. Later we realized we could of had our order taken when we were checked on mid_wait. Maybe have more than one server on the weekend would be a good boost to this location. Although I didn't love my experience, I wouldn't be surprised if others have better luck than us. read more

Bluestone Lane Walnut Street Café - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I came to Bluestone just to grab a cup of coffee and read, but I saw a server bringing out a breakfast burrito and had to indulge and find a seat in the dining area. My server found me a great corner table where I could read peacefully while I had my coffee and breakfast. The burrito itself was a little small for the price, but definitely tasty. The cup of coffee was pleasant, and the service was fantastic. read more

TLDR: the grilled cheese & the tomato soap? Out of this world. Don't think twice about ordering the grilled cheese, super yummy. Super delicious, no complaints on the food. The soup was the perfect side - complemented it so well. Onllllly thing: service was a bit on the slow side. Maybe I just came on a busy day, but it took a good while to get my food, and it wasn't even all the full inside. Otherwise, super cute & would visit again, but make sure you have time! read more

When asked what she thought about Taylor Swift's talents, Aretha Franklin once answered: "Great gowns. Beautiful gowns." So here are my thoughts on Bluestone Lane's cafe-ing: Great dining room. Beautiful dishware. Nice location. But also... very bad food. I paid $20 for a sad little wilted side salad and a BLT with flavorless avocado paste and a raw egg. I've made much better hungover on a Sunday morning. I also paid for a room temperature canned soda. I believe that the whole enterprise was being run by 2 people -- one guy splitting hosting and serving duties, and one woman splitting cooking and barista duties. She was also running the to-go register. They were both bussing and resetting tables. It was not working well. But the mugs were nice. read more

Decided to come here because elixr's line was almost out the door tbh, lol. Wanted a place to apply to jobs and enjoy a beverage but couldn't do either - there are signs everywhere that say you have to see the host to be seated but apparently that's not true? I managed to pin down someone working behind the bar and ask if there was a place to sit with an outlet nearby so i could plug my laptop in but there were none - in a coffee shop! Wild. Got the iced chai latte to go and boy, was it a waste of $7.50. Not only is the price crayzy, but the drink is sooo perfumy and feels like you're drinking flavored water with cinnamon sprinkled on top (absolutely no creaminess). read more

Bluestone is a nice Australian chain great for brunch. I've come a number of times and there are good vegetarian options that I've enjoyed. The egg and cheese with aioli was a little greasy so be mindful. The vegan banana bread was absolutely delightful and would pair well with any of their drinks! read more

Nice ambiance, clean and bright space. At 8:20 in the morning there were quite a few people here. The food and drinks are typical of Bluestone. Mocha was rich and creamy. Very friendly staff and good service. read more

Service was the best. Dropped in for a coffee before a home inspection. This is gonna be a go to in this area from now on.

super cute spot in the rittenhouse area! i enjoyed our brunch overall. their coffee is good, and i enjoyed my vanilla latte. the food was decent, but not special. i ordered the BL burrito which was not bad with the help of cholula hot sauce. the meal was on the expensive side (almost $50 for two) given the smallish portions, but adequate for a simple brunch. staff was friendly and prompt, no issues with service. we did have trouble flagging down our server for the bill, and i had to go up to the front to pay. overall a solid spot! read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee and settled on trying the Aussie iced latte. It felt like a mix between an affogato and a coffee float but was still a unique drink itself. It's basically a latte but the ice cubes are replaced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was such a perfect drink for a hot morning. The coffee quality is smooth+flavorful and as the ice cream melts it gives it that perfectly sweet creaminess. read more

Absolutely horrible in every way. The wait was ridiculous. 35 minutes to have 2 of 3 meals come out and when I asked about the third meal we were told, oh sorry, I forgot to tell you we were out of what you ordered. One of the 2 meals served, blueberry waffles were cold and so dry they were inedible. I would tell anyone to stay far away from this location. And I want to point out that I typically love Bluestone Lane. Have frequented Hoboken, NJ and Washington DC and never had such a terrible experience. I will never return to this location. What a complete waste of money. I'm actually appalled. Even when I said my food was horrible and sent it away barely touched they didn't even offer to make it right. Never go here! read more

I quite enjoyed our breakfast here. We were staying just down the street, so it was incredibly convenient. It was our server's last day (or so she told us), so the service was quite slow. I felt like we had to keep reaching out and asking to order, asking for water, asking for the check. We sat and waited for at least 25 minutes with empty plates waiting for the check. Had she been a little more attentive (or at all) this definitely would have been a 5-star experience. The breakfast food was excellent. I don't drink coffee, so I can't comment on that. The food was fresh and the flavors were fantastic. Everything sounded delicious and it really took some effort to narrow down the options. I'd love to come back here some day! read more

Salmon toast was good and coffee was good as well. I like their variety of options. The nitro oatmilk I had didn't stand out for me but it wasnt bad. The filtered water seemed overly warm. Waitress was excellent with service. read more

Stopped here for a quick iced coffee with the family while on a walk. It's super cute inside and I loved the art work / decor. The food menu looked amazing but we only got drinks. I would totally come back to try to food because I bet it's good. My ice coffee was good and the drinks came out super fast. This was great to pop in real quick and get something but there were several people there that looked to be working or had been there awhile which is always a good sign. Hopefully i can come back soon and try to food! read more

Honestly just decent. I've tried the Cambridge location as well and that one felt cleaner with more options. The portions here felt smaller, they didn't have the sweet & yummy lemon pancakes on the menu, and I felt like I was bothering the waitstaff when I asked them to replace my spoon after it fell on the ground. Kinda wish we'd tried Green Eggs Cafe for brunch instead! read more

Bluestone Lane Walnut Street Café - BL Burrito Brekkie Board - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place was really cute, but perhaps not my style. For starters, even though it's a coffee shop, you must wait to be seated, and there isn't much room if you have more than 4 people. The drinks were fine, and the trellis tea was perhaps the best, but the chai was lacking in flavor, the beet latte mostly tasted like malt, and the matcha latte was rather bitter. And of course, everything had typical coffee shop prices of $6-7. I enjoyed the mobile order option, and the drinks came fairly quickly, but I would order much differently if I went back again. read more

Lovely outdoor set up on an otherwise noisy and busy street corner. Great breakfast menu with healthy to indulgent options. Easy WR code scan menu with great service. Vast selection of drinks including smoothies. Will be back! read more

This was my second time at Bluestone Lane! If you're looking for a nice breakfast/coffee spot in the Rittenhouse area, this is a pretty solid place. The service was great and you have the option to order and pay through the QR code without needing to stand in line. I also really liked the ambiance and the music playing. Good cafe vibes and a great place to get work done! For food, I got the BLATE - the bacon, avocado and egg sandwich - which was okay. I wish it had cheese in it. Last time I ate here, I had the B.L big breakfast - avocado smash on toasted multigrain with scrambled eggs and bacon and that dish pretty good and filling. I'll definitely be back here! read more

I needed an afternoon pick me up on a busy day of touristing around/exploring Philly. Bluestone Lane is popular!! It was after 2:00 on a Saturday, and it was packed - every seat/table taken and a line for coffees to go. My espresso took a while - 10/15 minutes - and we were definitely in the way a bit with so many people waiting for coffees to go! Overall, it was a little cramped and not the best or fastest place for a coffee to go! Would be willing to go back for a meal perhaps, but it wouldn't be spot I'd go back to for just a coffee. read more

I had brunch here with a group of friends last week and really enjoyed my experience. This location is super spacious with lots of light and table/seating availability - perfect for a work session, catch-up with a friend, or a big group. The service was fast and considerate - the server came right to our table to take everyone's individual orders as soon as we got settled. I went with the Green Baked Eggs, which came with spinach, field greens, herb tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast - it was good! I definitely recommend checking out this new location! read more

I frequent Bluestone Lane in NYC , so when staying in Philly this past weekend, I decided to go here for coffee. The place was busy on a Sunday morning, so I expected to wait a bit for my decaf iced latte and my fiance's Americano. I stood there waiting more than 10 minutes before I asked about the status of my order, to which the barista says "it's coming up next." I patiently waited until a hot latte was placed in front of me. I asked the barista if that's my decaf latte, because it should be iced, not hot. She said 'honey, you didn't say Iced.' So, I retorted with, "Honey, yes I did. TWICE." She was prepared to remake it iced, to which I instructed her not to, that I would drink it hot because I didn't have the time to wait. I figured my fiance's americano was next to arrive, but that order was separated from mine somehow, so they were not yet making it. I lost my cool. Expecially, since other people had already gotten their drinks when they placed their orders AFTER mine. I really had to leave since I had an appointment and hadn't expected to wait so long. I let Bluestone keep my $11 plus 20% digital tip, because who knew how long getting a refund would take!! Not happy with their customer service, nor their customer priority, nor their slowness. Bluestone Lane Philly, get your sh-- together! read more

My favorite place near Rittenhouse Square. I fly in on the red-eye and everyone knows my order!! I love the flat white (hard to find!) Trista, Margaret, and Kylie are all amazing and welcoming. I have ordered everything from the Big Brekkie to the side of carrots. Delicious read more

Great food, good drinks and friendly staff. I am definitely looking forward to coming back soon

Been hitting up Bluestone Lane to study during weekdays when there is less of a brunch rush. Finding seating isn't too bad and there's a lot of natural light. I love ordering with QR codes on the table and having a pitcher of water at the table as well. The lattes, smoothies, and matcha are good but a bit pricey. The food also decent. Service is fast and excellent. read more

The inside seating was very cute, I felt like I was by the ocean or beach house. I got the Warm Chicken and Ancient Grains Bowl with an added poached egg, and I thought the food overall was very filling and the chicken was well cooked. I wished the portions were a little bigger, as I didn't feel as full as I thought I would, but it's a very cute brunch place near Rittenhouse and the waitstaff was very friendly. read more

Went to the opening yesterday and I was very impressed with the experience. There were a few small quirks that were still being worked out, but the service was excellent. I would say an even better service experience than their other locations. I tried the whipped eggs and they were great. I've had the coffee at their other locations and enjoyed it, but will definitely return here soon to try this locations drinks. Also, we sat outside and it was a great space to be outside in the shade. read more

Service is outstanding! On successive days I had the Folded Chimichurri and the B.L.A.K.E on the multigrain toast instead of the brioche. Not we're absolutely DELICIOUS! I LOVE this place. read more

I'm too broke to visit Australia, so coming to Bluestone Lane is as close as I'll get. The vibe is amazing! Makes me feel like I'm near a beach. Their cappuccino is a 10/10! Employees are actually very nice :) I came here to study, and I'll come here again. read more

Now this is living: good coffee, fast service, we code so you can plop down and barely talk to anyone, croissant bfast sammy is a win

Yes, it's a chain, but don't let that deter you. The coffee is excellent, and the food is fresh and very good. The service is erratic, but that's okay. They are very attentive to dietary restrictions. read more

This is a great Bluestone location! Incredibly spacious, a very warm, welcoming staff who is attentive, and general good ambiance. I got the brekkie board and it was delicious along with a chamomile tea that they serve in an actual teapot with some honey on the side. I travel for work a lot so it was nice to find a quiet space to sit and eventually have a work meeting. Would certainly return if I'm in the area! read more

Service was really slow, especially considering there were only like 3 people in the restaurant. I ordered pancakes for $16, and they were tiny, dry, not particularly tasty, and served in a cast iron skillet, which made cutting and eating them very awkward. A plate would have been nice. read more
