If I could give them a 0 I would. I waited in line for 5 minutes to order a smoothie. After another 22 minutes it still had not come out. I finally inquired and they pointed to my receipt on the counter. The order had not even been started! Even at that point the staff did not seem concerned about expediting. I requested they cancel the order and refund me. There was no acknowledgement that I had been waiting nearly 30 minutes for a smoothie.It takes me less than three minutes to make a smoothie at home. They seemed to be working on a few incoming order-ahead orders (which apparently take priority - I watched them come in long after my order was placed and get filled) so I was trying to be patient. My fault for not asking about the status sooner. I could have completed a conference call in the time it took to order, wait, and still have no breakfast. It was certainly not worth being late to work for.

This is my first time here. They say they have free wifi but when you bring it up it asks all these invasive questions (email, first&last name, phone number, and date of birth!). I asked the waitress if that was right and she said yes. So I trusted it and went forward to get my work done. I wasn’t even done with my first email when it kicked me off and said I had reached my data limit. Then it wouldn’t let me log back in again. The associate wasn’t any help either and wouldn’t contact the managers because it was their “day off.” Very disappointed.

This place is in the middle of action. Great location, tasty coffee with sprinkles of chocolate. Always clean with great wifi.

Good coffee, but their cappuccino tasted almost like a mocha because of the cocoa powder on top. This particular branch is small, so its cramped up inside, even just to pick up the order ahead coffee.

Saturday morning breakfast. Walked in spontaneously. Salmon toast, black coffee and a brownie. Everything was really good. Staff is super friendly and even remembered my name when I came back for another cup of coffee. Awesome! Highly recommended.

Had a pretty good Breakfast All Day bowl. Good cafe for coffee and small bites, not so much a real “brunch” place. Very Keto friendly. Cute ambiance — nice furniture and decor.

If youre looking for a smooth, rich good old Australian type coffee, this is the place. The oatmeal is delicious and theres a nice range of juices too.

Great place for breakfast! Their bowls and toasts are delicious. A bit pricy though, but it is San-Francisco financial district lol no complaints

Wonderful experience for here! I cancel my order since I had to leave for an urgent appointment. The team (Kaiser) quickly refunded me but still gave me the Tea (wellness golden latte) since it was already prepared. Thanks.

Cute Australian coffee shop. There’s a nice ambiance with comfy couch seatings and small tables for two. You can find people working on their laptops and even conducting interviews here.Lots of people who work in the FiDi just stop by here for grab and go coffee. There’s usually a line but the baristas are really fast and your order is up in a few minutes.I like their Iced Chocolate, Chai Latte and Red Beet Latte. The bambinocino is a small shot with mocha (no espresso) that’s suitable for kids. If you download their app for the first time you got a free five dollar credit!

Gotta have an avo toast when you visit Bluestone. Love that lemon zing! Free wifi was good but it expires after an hour I think - that was disappointing - but I was able to use the other free wifi in the area which connected easily and signal strength was fine. Power outlet was also in convenient reach along the wall so I was able to get some work done before lunch.

Not the beat experience I’ve had at Bluestone Lane. Their New York locations were great, staff were friendly and inviting but can’t say the same for the San Fran (Front street) location.. coffee was very weak and staff were zombie-like.

Too much cacao on cappuccino so you do not taste the coffee anymore. A pity. Salmon toast is OK, not special. WiFi is available

Creative brunch dishes on high quality toast. Their avocado, goat cheese, prosciutto and tomato is delicious. Great place for a quick bite in the morning, some room to sit or take to go.

Typical millennial kind of place with an Australian vibe (avo toast, flat whites, no table service, yes I’m Australian). I ordered Avo with a poached egg. It was good. My order came in a box. I asked for a plate and they gave me a plastic cheese board. Am I getting old? Anyway, the toast was quite hearty and it made me wanna go chop logs. The Flat White was excellent. The PE was done perfectly medium. Good place with about 12 small tables and an obligatory community table.

Nice spot with good strong coffee and healthy options on the menu. I had a rainbow bowl and added 2 eggs. It was wonderful. Spinach, goat feta and tomatoes. So why not 5 stars?that comes from the staff who were a mixed bag and the pressure tip payment application - you know those applications that ask you to amount and have preset buttons for percentages. Im not sure when a counter order from a stuck up coffee jockey who does not make eye contact, smile or greet people became 18% but its enough to keep this place off my list. Tips = to insure proper service. And yep if you want 18% for me to come to you to order and bus my own table at least you can smile.

Clean, quiet. I like the presentation of their food and drink. I got the avocado toast and a golden latte. The toast was very bland. Maybe I didnt like the chunky version of an avocado toast, but it really wasnt special. The golden latte however was yum. From the kick of ginger and cinnamon, I thought it was the best to wake up to.

I went here twice over the weekend.1. The coffee is great. If youre a blue bottle fan (I am), this is equally good.2. I also tried the matcha latte on the second day that I went here, it was good.3. My favourite here was the avocado toast. Nothing complex, simple bread with generous spread of fresh avocados served with salt and paprika drizzle on top.My only minor complaint is that they charge you $1 extra for making your drink extra hot. I find that a bit strange. Else the place is a definitely worth a stop to grab a small bite or get a coffee.

My go to breakfast place. Perfect coffee and lot of healthy breakfast to choose from. The staff is friendly and there is a good place to sit and eat peacefully. Does get bit crowded at times but the coffee and food is worth a visit if you are around Bluestone!

This is the right one of these coffee spots to visit as they do a full breakfast menu. I think the breakfast bowls are amazingly good, the coffee is spot on, and I enjoy the fact that they open at 7am for those of us with some jetlag who skipped dinner. I come here pretty often, and look forward to staying downtown so I am nearby.

No cash places hate poor people and I had to help lady in front of me. Wheres my free coffee for tech support. No joke tho banana muffin was on point. 5 stars when u take cash.

Good coffee, great service, although there is consistently a gang of men doing drugs and harassing passersby (I recently saw a guy who appeared to be on drugs jump out and yell at some women, scaring the heck out of them.) All of this is right outside the coffee shop. The store should do more to get neighbors the help they need and to protect its customers from assault

Brewed coffee was good. Prices out of line with the likes of Peets. Space is somewhat small although we found a table right away at 2 pm.

As an Aussie this place disappoints tremendously. The team behind the counter were great but the food was terrible and the coffee meh. If you want low quality, prepared meals then this is your place. This is in no way saying that the NYC locations aren’t good (they are!).

Review №33

Would give 6 stars if I could. I’ve been going here basically every morning before work for almost a year now and this place just gets better with time. Coffee shops will always be unpredictable: the morning FiDi crowd is inconsistent. But Bluestone handles it all with ease. Customer service is (and I can’t emphasize this enough) GOLDEN. As a regular customer, conversations with my baristas are a beautiful start to my workdays. Coffee is consistently quality, delicious, and well-balanced. Whether you’re looking for a new weekday routine or weekend plans, Bluestone is sure to fit the bill.
