Well rounded flat whites with a smooth texture. Friendly barista who knows his stuff. Good place for a great coffee if you wonder around Exchange place. Only drawback - no rest rooms there and but pricier- links with the location (it’s a Wall street anyway).

Bluestone quality at its best. In this location they have few seatings but otherwise for take away

Good. Just like Australia.You should get bonsoy though.

Satisfactory level in non-coffee drink, I ordered an iced chocolate. The taste is smooth but it doesn’t make me feel like I am drinking chocolate. The chocolate sauce is too light. Overall assessment is fairly satisfactory but for a chocolate lover, it may not be the best choice in Wall St.

Best Avo-Smash, hands down. GF and regular options found in this cozy wood-lined coffee stop where iced chai lattes, Aussie iced lattes (sub ice with french vanilla ice cream) and cold brew refresh the locals. A bit hidden, access on exchange place from either direction.

Go from a street to another, and stop by this coffee lane, and grab a cold brew... you deserve it!

As an Aussie abroad, if you want the closest thing to a good Melbourne coffee...this place is hard to beat. They even put chocolate powder on the cappuccinos! Small thing....but it made me feel at home. Well done lads! 😎

Small cozy coffee shop. Had an awesome original macchiato and a tasty latte. The macchiato was flavorful and real smooth. The latte was creamy and light. Best latte Ive had a chance to taste. Definitely check it out

Great coffee. Great service. Their pastries are super fresh, but reasonably good. They have draft iced latte with milk and with oat milk. Those are super good.

Fantastic flat white, friendly Australian staff. They have a great deal where if you purchase a bag of coffee beans (for brewing at home) you get a free drink. Im unsure if youre limited to only certain drinks with this deal. Havent had their breakfasts yet, but Ive seen them and they look amazing.

Expensive and cannot use cash, best latte Ive ever had and staff is friendly. If you have a credit or debit card and dont mind spending 5 bucks for coffee it is worth every penny. I would recommend stopping by, food items are tasty as well but everything is a bit pricey, even for Manhattan.

I love coffee, yes I do! I love coffee, shouldnt you?Ive been doing the happy dance every morning since I found this place! Although its tucked away on New Street, its great to know that I can easily pop out for coffee and snacks (croissants/pastries from Balthazar; cookies from Downtown Cookies Co.) and even catch up on some news (they have daily newspapers pinned up for easy browsing as you sip your espresso).

It was a weekend so there were no people and the spot was out of pastries. I am sure its busy and fun during the week. the spot is inside an office building.

Great coffee, good service and avo toast was decent. Small operation that works with what they got, and loved all the Melbourne memorabilia on the wall.

Coffees were nice, seating area limited. But what really ruined the experience was the that the music was way too loud. Luckily they are unenviromental and serve the coffee in take-away mugs, so we could walk away.

Almost complete with our week long tour of all BSL’s in Manhattan! The coffee isn’t as consistent at some locations. This one is one of our least favs.

Review №22

This was my first time at Bluestone Lane. I ordered black coffee with milk and sugar - it has a distinct taste and a bit strong. I will be back soon!The staff was friendly, fast, and patient.FYI - the place is inside the lobby of 30 Broad Street.

Review №23

The cold brew is particularly bad, and they didnt give me ice, which I guess is how they try to get rid of more of their bad cold brew. I suspect the cold brew is leftover hot coffee they pour into the dispenser. Also they dont dump out a reusable cup for you? What an odd rule.

Review №24

One of my favorite cappuccinos in the city - small, not a lot of milk (the way they should be made), and cocoa powder on top. They make a great avocado toast too. Friendly staff. Only complaint is that the staff can be a bit slow at times. Still worth the trip for my capp!!!!Similar prices to other higher-end coffee shops so it doesn’t make sense that other reviews say this place is expensive. Note it’s a cashless place. I recommend downloading their app for rewards.

Excellent flat white. Haven’t tried the food. Took a star off just because the new location lacks any charm (it’s now in the lobby of a building).

So random to find this just off Wall St this morning. Great coffee and great service. Go the Swans :)

Delicious coffee and friendly service. Just keep in mind it is a very small seating area in an office building rather than a coffee shop to sit in. Still, they make the little seating area nice.

Review №28

Im going to be completely honest with you: I love accents. Especially from other countries. And one of my favorites is the Australian one. So that was a big impetus for me to give this place a try. Also, its quite literally down the block from where I work. And what I found was a lovely little shop that makes delicious lattes (including an Australian one with ice cream!), and plenty of character. Really the only thing keeping them from being the next big thing on this block is the scaffolding thats currently dominating the whole of the block. But once thats down, look out...

Gluten free cookies and muffins. Poached eggs on gluten free fluffy toast. Separate toaster for gf but its very close to the regular one. Everything turned out to be good though! Safe for a quick snack or breakfast for a celiac

Review №31

Avoid if you dont want over priced coffee and goods. I wanted some gluten free toast with jam and butter with some tea. When you have gluten intolerance and actually find a place that has gluten free stuff, you are sort of willing to pay the price tag. The toast is small and was drenched in jam, manly to cover up the fact that it was burnt. And I dont mean a little bit, or the edges. I mean extra burnt and crunchy. The tea was ok but from the other people there, it sounded like they shrink the cup sizes and charged the same amount. $9 for this was way too much, especially having to force down burnt toast. My hunt for gluten free food continues.

Vegemite toast and a latte on Wall St? You got it! Great coffee and selection of Melbourne cafe-style toasts and pastries. Great service when I was there too.

Review №34

This place is pretty expensive and I didnt find anything to really be special at all. Some of the people who worked here were nice, others just ignored me while 1 actually turned out to be a really nasty person. Theres only a couple of seats and I didnt have access to simple things like half and half and had to ask for it. If you need coffee and your in the area, if say go but dont bother going out of your way to come here.

A wonderful place, that makes absolutely Top Shelf coffee. I cant overstress this - Im a freak about it and they do consistently excellent coffee. And its not everywhere you can get a vegemite on toast, either.

To be honest, I dont understand most of the reviews and high ratings of this place.I went to Bluestone Lane because I saw many good reviews but I just found an expensive and not great coffee shop.They bill me $9 for the salmon toast in the attached image. The bread of the toast was average and a bit dry, and the salmon was sparse as you can see in the image (look at the borders!).$9 for this is a total abuse.Even the matcha latte was expensive and not great compared with other coffee shops.Very disappointed with this place and also with the misleading reviews.

Inconsistent. Yesterday the flat white was amazing, but today with a different barista it was worse than a Starbucks flat white and basically a cup of frothy milk.

Review №56

A chain coffee shop based in NYC, stylistically born out of the Melbourne coffee shop scene, Bluestone Lane offers a wide variety of expertly prepared coffee options. Their house brew is the best in FiDi, if you like a robust, no-nonsense cup of jo. The flat white is also a classic here, and the largely Australian staff will charm you with their friendly service and winsome accents. The pastry options are also extensive, in addition to a surprisingly large food menu that, while expensive, is both nutritious and tasty. This location in particular is my favorite of all the Manhattan branches for two reasons: one, its rather hidden away, thus making it slightly less touristy; secondly, its relatively small, thus creating a cozy feel, and if you frequent the location, the baristas are sure to recognize you and greet you accordingly. Highly recommended.

Best coffee in lower Manhattan since RBC closed. Try the avo smash and the Aussie iced latte, both phenomenal. Its worth a visit for the design ingenuity alone. Theyve made amazing use of a building lobby.

Your barista Toni which probably isnt even her real name. The one with dreads. Was one of the most disrespectful people I have ever come across. Waited 15 minutes for my coffee after they lost the order and then made the wrong one when I went up and told them what I ordered. As Australians we are disgusted to see you call yourself an Australian Cafe, but hire scum of the earth employees That would never happen in Australia.

They do a lot of speciality drinks, of course with an Australian bent and etc. -- however, importantly, they also pull a good and consistent double espresso, which is harder than you think to source these days.

Review №87

Awesome cafe .. make sure youre going in the correct entrance with the real seats! You have to enter through the NEW STREET entrance for that. Youll see a big banner that says BLUESTONE LANE COFFEE. The 30 Broad street is an office building entrance. It has such an unique feel to it, almost like youre in one of those classic dining train cars. With the warm tones along the walls, it really brings you to the rustic homey environments that you die to venture to if youve been in the cold harsh city for too long. Definitely a great get-away spot. I ordered a large flat white -- with 4 shots of espresso, holy dang I was so hyped. 4 shots in one drink should be illegal, but I thank God its not. It was smooth and velvety with just a great punch of energy you need for the day. I will have to come back when its warmer for the affogato .. and one morning for the avo smash -- avocado toast! The BANANA BREAD became my favorite baked good, as I bit into its flavorful and not too dry texture. I am addicted! I was kinda thrown off by the weird metal music playing early in the morning though haha.

BEST COFFEE!!! I see people down here in FiDi with their arms full of Starbucks trays and I just want to scream. Bluestone Lane is theeeeee place for the best java down here: its strong, flavorful and without pretense or set in a cold design environment like FIKA. The focus is on the coffee here and the place is cozy AF. PLUS, you have super nice baristas (did I say barista?) with Australian accents. What could be better?!!!

La
Review №90

The only reason I gave any stars is because the avo smash and dirty Chai are yummy, but beyond that I most likely will not be returning to the FiDi location, or any other locations for that matter. The attitude Ive received for ordering a fancy drink (steamed milk with coffee) on multiple occasions has deterred me. At my job we go on coffee runs a couple of times throughout the day, so we will definitely be giving our business to a more respectful place. Some of the employees should learn better customer service skills, especially after telling me tell your boss that isnt a thing and we dont know youre fancy drink names even after I explained what a misto is, and did not even use that term after the first time because I knew they wouldnt understand. I wonder how many other people that employee have been driven away. Its embarrassing.
