Reviews of Bluestone Lane Coffee Shop - Financial District (Coffee Shop)

Tim O'Neill

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

Alicia Murray

Good coffee, nice place to sit. Very homey with plenty of tables. Delicious food. Especially love the muffins. Staff is ok. Definitely a must for anyone near by.

Y. Hsin

I love coffee, yes I do! I love coffee, shouldn't you? I've been doing the happy dance every morning since I found this place! Although it's tucked away on New Street, it's 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).

Hit and miss with coffee, sometimes it's excellent, sometimes the coffee is over extracted or the milk is scalded. Also they only take card.

Emily Steele

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.

Sebastian S.

Great flat white, tastes just like it does in Sydney.

Andy Schwarz

Simply the best cup of coffee in New York City. The Aussie experience is great as well ...

Essie E Li

they tell me they dont accept CASH... I come all the way to buy breakfast but they just don't take cash, thats really ridiculous

Eric Cesare

Get the avocado toast. You will thank yourself later.

ceyhun cokaldis

Best Aussie style coffee in town.

Stelios Gkiokas

The place is nothing spectacular, but the coffee is amazing (mainly to have it on the go). Be aware that it accepts only card.

Lars H.

Still wonderful Avocado Toasts and Flat Whites. A bit cramped, but worth it nevertehless

Hyacinth Chu

The avo smash plate is delicious! Place is small though and the service was ok.

Jennifer Coleman

Great food and wonderful five course lunch at a bargain price for the quality of the food, ambiance and service.

Eve Mosher

Excellent coffee and Aussie treats in a jam packed little back alley spot. Super friendly staff and excellent golden latte!

Denny Alexander

One of the best cappuccinos I've had!

Jeremy M

Always good coffee

Makoto Scrub

Very quaint, small coffee shop but has a good variety of caffeinated or non-caffeinated drinks (hot or cold). Also has a few food options which are simple and tasty. (highly recommend the oatmeal)

Bernard K

Good coffee. Nice selection. Limited seating options though. Get $50 in free Lyft

Ilya Galkin

One of the best coffees in NYC. Enough said.

Dana Kuykendall

The perfect latte!!!

Alberto L. Verdecia A.

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

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: it's 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?!!!

Joseph Jamnicky

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).

Sarah Frederick

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.

Kristin Mikie Sword

Good coffee with a fun flare. The space is quite snug though, so getting a table often proves difficult.

Robert Bacchi

Had an iced latte. More flavorfully than Starbucks

Yossi Ben-Zvi

Pure coffee, excellent brewing techs and a knowledgeable staff.

laura merritt

Probably some of the best coffee I've had in the city! And the customer service is pretty swell too.

Won Jae Lee

Hidden gem that locals don't even know about

Greg Orr

One of the best we've found, not highly roasted, great Oz style espresso & flat white, happy service too.

Martin Schwarz

Over-rated. Coffee is not bad but it feels like they are doing you a favor by selling it to you.

Rachel Lee

Small cute coffee/breakfast place. Good cold brew, decent noms

Angel Nava

Great

Alex Hemsley

Great coffee!

lucy winton

Umm best almond milk latte in town as of 9/16/2015

Nabil Hobeilah

Good long espresso

masud masum

Hip coffee shop.

Ash Horn

The cold brew is particularly bad, and they didn't 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 don't dump out a reusable cup for you? What an odd rule.

Brendo G

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

Gavin Cowie

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

Michael Banfield

Aussie coffee in New York! So good. Get a lamington, smashed avo toast and a flat white

Josiah Chapman

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, it's rather hidden away, thus making it slightly less touristy; secondly, it's 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.

Ahnaf Chowdhury

Sweet potato humus toast is my favorite here

Jessical Sherman

Great place for coffee and snacks!

Peter White

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.

Ben Timmons

Delicious coffee as always!

Amanda Turner

Excellent espresso- neat Australian vibe

Michael Anslow

Friendly staff and delicious coffee

Andrea Nicole Pardo

So happy to discover this place. The Baristas are great [the accents only make things even better] I love their dirty chai's and their flat whites :) Great strong coffee, true Melbourne fashion in the heart of FIDI, could not recommend enough.

Alberto Landaverde Piche

Good coffee but expensive...and they don't take cash

John Chauvel

Hands down best barista coffee in FiDi. Worth hunting down.

Joe Ahearn

Too small

Matthew Gantz

Fun, tiny coffee shop tucked away in this building - seating for 4-7, so plan to order take-away. Nice people and good coffee / espresso drinks.

Laura Boisson

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 I've 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 isn't a thing" and "we don't know you're 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 wouldn't understand. I wonder how many other people that employee have been driven away. It's embarrassing.

Talar Ishak

Amazing avocado toast !!! Super good coffee, very cozy and lovely !! Must try if around

Aubrey Sw

Nice coffee and great staff!

Nerdy Chic

Avoid if you don't 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 don't 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.

Julian Kölbel

I found it expensive

Jake Scott

Australians really know how to roast a bean

Matt Doby

Your barista "Toni" which probably isn't 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.

Dmitry Laptev

The place is great overall, just the coffee beans seem to be overroasted.

Matt Sweetwood

Weak coffee. Not for coffee aficionados. Cute interior, friendly staff, no seating.

Nicolas Moise

Great coffee. The avocado toasts are a bit overpriced but delicious.

Jim Lightowler

Cannot wait to get there.....April 29 you're mine

Mason Wilkes

Fantastic cappuccino and a great location!

Nathaniel Chan

Great coffee, but very cramped space. There's almost no place to wait in line

Alberto Diaz

Excellent espresso - funny and friendly staff. What more do you want?

Alexian Taymer

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. They've made amazing use of a building lobby.

Adam Horowitz

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. I'm unsure if you're limited to only certain drinks with this deal. Haven't had their breakfasts yet, but I've seen them and they look amazing.

Harry Shasho

One of the best coffee spots around. I love heading in here for a quick drink before big client meetings.

Ruth Christopherson

Amazing avacoda toast and coffee. Friendly staff. I'll definitely be back!

C. Kelly Newman

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).

Chris Fraser

Good coffee, if you are looking for a proper flat white or latte then this is the place.

Ramona Ponds

The atmosphere, food, cocktails and service are all excellent.

Clay Harding

Small authentic coffee shop with funky Australian food

Hanna Jin

Go for a quick breakfast bite with really good coffee and avocado toast (add Vegemite!!)

Anett

Tried the Curcuma Ginger latte and Beetroot latte. Excellent caffeine free alternative.

Jonathan Palmer-Hoffman

Loves it

Barbara Cooke

Good coffee. Nice selection. Limited seating options though.

Dave Canfield

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.

Robert Ng

Australian style cafe and yes they do flat whites- a NZ invented coffee

Karl Gechlik

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

Lucy Jones

Any other coffee forever forgotten.

Michael Claeren

Really cool little coffee shop, placed in the converted entry way of a art deco building lobby. Standard high end coffees including flat whites.

Katherine Washington

The New York Cafe in Budapest is spectacular! Opulence and elegance abounds here with a cosy piano bar to enjoy a hot chocolate or cocktail this is the perfect place to go for a nightcap! Jenn

Catherine Moctezuma

Po.

JoCee Porter

I couldn't find it! I don't think this exists anymore.

Alessandro Ananias

Very disorganised, coffee and food come at different times so you have to have one of them cold. Coffee is OK.

Kris Delves

Very cool Melbourne themed cafe. A taste of home in New York for Australians. Card only and take away options only paired with efficient service

Juanma Pitxardo

To be honest, I don't 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.

Messi Leonardo

Very good coffee

Tim

Little weak Americano. I've had coffees in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and this doesn't compare :/

Dan Chen

Good coffee, good pastry and friendly staff. It a little hard to find, you have to walk through the build lobby from the Broad Street side.

Angela Stillwaggon

This place is pretty expensive and I didn't 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. There's only a couple of seats and I didn't 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 don't bother going out of your way to come here.

Allie K

Brilliant and friendly. Very little seating, but good for a quick delicious bite to travel with.

Ted Clayton

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.

Natalie Jones

Outstanding coffee, healthy brunch options and friendly staff. Visited NYC briefly and went here 3 times because the coffee tasted so good.

Alexander J

awesome coffee spot from down-under with funky add-ons like a scoop of ice cream in your coffee. small location inside an office building lobby but the line moves fast at all times.

Sara Kanady

Did not have waffle cones

Ricky Martin

Love Love Love this place and the food is Consistently good.

Vik Boast

Fantastic coffee close to the Statue of Liberty in the middle of the financial district. Also if you want to try Aussie style Vegemite on toast this place has it.

Philip Had

Probably the best barista coffee in town. Super friendly people too.

Zoe Kim

Coffee here is pretty good! Service is nice and fast and the decor is very nice. Not too much seating and no tables, just bars. Good quick stop while you’re walking around in FiDi!

Rattasat Nudam

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.

Sunny Shaw

A class up and guaranteed fresh...loved the ambiance.

zoey lapinsky

Delicious wholesome food. Great price and vibe. Just gives that 'Ah Yes' feeling.

Ash Robinson

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!

Elliot Kalson

Really good coffee. Really expensive

Andrew Kelly

Fantastic coffee and a home away from home for all Melbournians. Great blends and well made. A small store with some savoury as sweet treats but mostly focuses on takeaway.

Nivant Sheth

Nice coffee

Abdeali Kothari

Sandwiches are ok, coffee is alright. Nothing too special - just another cafe.

Matthew Hollwedel

Expensive and cannot use cash, best latte I've ever had and staff is friendly. If you have a credit or debit card and don't 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.

Aleksandar Gorgiev

Nice place

Juan Cabrera

But expensive but really good

Ryan West

The long black espresso was excellent

Konrad Herrgård

The magic (coffee) is literally magic, loved it, cozy space aswell.

Brennan Ortiz

Great coffee shop with a selection of tasty toasts and other small bites, and delicious specialty espresso drinks. Very friendly staff.

Robert Alvarez

Excellent customer service, super delicious pastries, and a bathroom. However, this is a cashless place, so make sure to bring your credit cards and/or debit cards for making your purchases.

Michael Holscher

Excellent flat white. Blend of original art deco finishings and Aussie memorabilia make for a unique if somewhat cramped experience.

Tasha Osborne

Fun, tiny coffee shop tucked away in this building - seating for 4-7, so plan to order take-away. Nice people and good coffee / espresso drinks.

shabdiel plays Vargas

Very nice coffee shop. Although they do not accept cash.

Will McDonough

Fantastic flat white. Avocado smash (toast) is great.

Carol Krakowski

Great coffee and avocado toast.

Pinky Chan

Awesome cafe .. make sure you're going in the correct entrance with the real seats! You have to enter through the NEW STREET entrance for that. You'll 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 you're 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 you've 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 it's 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 it's 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.

YIAN YU

好喝 但店門小小的容易錯過

James Hartley

The best coffee down here!

Sarah Wada

Avocado Smash was delightful, and latte was artfully done. Overall an awesome experience!

Luke Jessen

This place was awesome! Their Almond Croissant was amazing.

Muhammad Saeed

Flat white at Bluestone Lane a must try. Not great sitting area but the ambiance is wonderful.

Kasia Uscinska

Really great smooth coffee. Friendly and chilled.

Justin Bromberg

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.

Curt Jacques

exceptional coffee

Tom Leaver

Great coffee and food, friendly staff. However, not really suited for eating/drinking in as is basically a corner of the entrance to the office block

John Curtin

Great coffee, avocado on toast is the go to!

Carlos Mercado

I'm 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, it's 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 that's currently dominating the whole of the block. But once that's down, look out...

Eric Tam

Friendly staff and still open during the January 4th snowstorm. Had the hot chocolate and avocado toast. Would definitely return.
