I love bluestone lane for their avo toast, well-poached eggs, frothy drinks and pastries! I often visit the soho location on spring street. I used to see a very sweet barista there and we used to chat — he always got my order right but was also such a kind neighbor, just compassionate and always concerned about doing right by others. I am terrible with names and I’m pretty sure his name is Eric?! Anyway, I hadn’t seen him at the soho location in a while and assume he left or something happened. Imagine my surprise when I happened to be near Madison Square Park and fancied myself a chai latte on a brisk, wintery morning. I walked into the lobby and up to the counter at this location. and who do I see but this barista!! He had the compassion to ask me how I was doing and mean it. The teams at bluestone really care and it makes such a difference to any customer’s day, really set my morning in a positive motion! I didn’t have a chance to tip Eric (I am so sorry if that is not his name) because he comped my chai, but I wanted to write this review so in the hopes that he will know how much it meant to me!
