Bluestone Lane Manhattan West Café

Early on a Sunday morn, I stopped in for coffee but ended up getting more than I expected. It’s a chill but a dimly lit place — dim lighting seems to be the thing in some NYC businesses right now — that I had to use my phone’s flashlight to read the menu. The staffer was not only nice laying out their offerings for me, but he also prepared everything. When he told me an Aussie Iced Latte has a scoop of ice cream in it I was all in — even with it being 32 degrees outside LOL!! For brekkie, I had the bacon and egg on croissant, which was on a large croissant making it a nice size sandie. The meal was satisfying, reasonably priced, and energized me for a long travel day.

It is great to learn a new culture of this Bluestone Lane location that a customer has to be asked if you need anything else with a pressure to order more after staying for about an hour and half with a single coffee order. I wasn’t going to stay that long and I’ve never felt I was stingy when I ordered a single coffee for a short stay at any other locations. (let me check—I ordered a coffee at 12:12 pm and set an alarm at 1:40 pm so I stayed for about an hour and half.) If there were crowded I would’ve been able to understand it better, but I still don’t. The staff came to my table and dropped a menu even I answered, “I’m fine.” after this soft eviction. Untill I left, this staff kept looking at me with an unpleasant face. Then why didn’t you make me a bigger coffee so get more money when

Sunday 9:30am so it was pretty empty... Also, maybe partly due to the location that's kinda isolated so there's less foot traffic? Avocado smash was nice -- the presentation was definitely a pleasant surprise. Overall I liked it enough for 4 ⭐ Matcha latte -- their default was with almond milk -- was also pleasantly interesting. I think it was my first time having a matcha latte with almond milk. I think I like it. 4 ⭐ albeit slightly on the small side portion wise.

As soon as walking into this Café the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming! The music was such a vibe and matched the decor and ambiance. Servers/cashiers were helpful and gave great recommendations. Super attentive and knowledgeable. Plenty of food options and possibilities to customize.
