Bluestone Lane Theatre District Coffee Shop

Just having no luck today finding a decent cup of coffee on Nob Hill. The avocado toast was complete mush. When I ordered the small I didn't realize until after I had ordered the small was only 8oz which turned out to be good as the coffee was not.

I usually do downtown coffee meetings here because it’s a great spot that gets plenty of morning sun when you sit outdoors, without the extra zombies you may occasionally encounter in other parts of downtown. Their avocado toast is spectacular, and so is their coffee. The avocado toast is so good I’ve even ordered it online to be delivered. Also, you won’t find a bunch of tuned out tech bros with headphones on and their laptops here. That’s a good break from other coffee places in the vicinity. Overall highly recommended. Simple coffee shop that isn’t hyped up.

I recently visited this coffee shop and had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with cozy seating and a clean, stylish design that makes it perfect for both working or catching up with friends. The coffee was excellent—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. I tried their latte and it had just the right balance of espresso and milk, topped with beautiful latte art. The pastries were fresh and delicious, especially the almond croissant! The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality coffee and a relaxing vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This place was incredible! Delicious food, amazing chai with oatmilk, very fast service and tastes great too. Friendly people behind the counters as well, I’m just a tourist, but I’m so glad I’m here!

The place is nice and cozy. I usually order to get deliver but the experience was even better in person. Consistently good coffee, friendly staff, and cleaning spaces is what you can find if you visit.

Very taste coffee and great avocado, salmon toast! Strong recommendation!

I’ve been trying to get into the coffee but I just can’t go crazy about it but it’s average. The stars are all for the service & I tried the matcha latte- great reviews on the substitutions available and additions on the app. The banana toast is good. The egg is pre made but it’s not bad. The website to order through inkind was having some issues when I arrived, so I suggest pre ordering to avoid any confusion, as technical issues can be stressful while you’re in line. They also don’t take cash, which as a customer I wish they did, but as a food service business, I can understand I am sure they have their reasons for not taking cash. The service is good, they are really trying their best & it’s not their fault for the tech issues on the website. I do like the Bluestone app it self. I wonder if I should just transition to that instead of inkind, it’s been much better doing that . I think this is a great place for a smart casual breakfast or lunch.

Had a great experience! Amazing Aussie coffee right in San Francisco!! Thankyou to Liz for the best service!

I love Bluestone Lane... in Australia, Los Angeles, and other areas in SF. But this one on Sutter St. has to be - HANDS DOWN - the worst Bluestone Lane location. The service is consistently bad. They're either confused, condescending, or rude, or a combination of all three. I ordered something so simple - a Matcha + Smoked Salmon toast on Gluten free bread, with a smear of avocado INSTEAD of cream cheese. They would not do this. The insisted on giving me an avocado toast with salmon on top. I said I do not want a lot of avocado. I just want a little bit since the gluten free toast is so dry. They assured me it would be just as I asked. I reminded them again that it needed to be gluten free. They dismissed me and said "yes, she knows". I order, then want to use my rewards at the register. 3 people could not figure out how to do it. They finally just gave me my matcha and I waited for the toast. The matcha was barely hot, but I let it go because they all seemed frazzled even though there were only 2 customers in the store. I walk all the way back to my hotel, open my food and I have an avocado toast with GLOBS of avocado with a tiny amount of smoked salmon on top... on toast that is NOT gluten free. So the whole thing is going in the garbage. They're lucky I didn't eat it because I have a severe allergy to gluten. What a waste. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time they messed up an order. The last time I was in there, someone else was complaining about some kind of mix-up. And on top of it, you can't call the store to try to have it rectified.

A solid chain coffee shop in the heart of San Francisco with plenty of Australian delights to please all who stop here. It's an airy open store meant for mobile ordering and in-store pickup only. Being next to Hotel Emblem, I can only imagine how busy it must be during mid-mornings or afternoons. Coming here on a morning, service was quick and attentive. The coffee selection is on point, with small bites and healthy food options to fit all sorts of taste buds. The flat white is what they're known for- double espresso shot with frothy milk that hits just right without being too overpowering. I got that, along with a PB & vanilla protein overnight oats cup. Sprinkled with generous amounts of shaved coconut, topped with fresh blueberries and mixed with protein powder and oat milk, it made for a hearty breakfast that didn't make me feel heavy afterwards. For something a little different than your typical chain coffee store when you're not able to have your usual preferred coffee or need something on-the-go around here, Bluestone Lane is the place to go!

wow ! incredibly friendly " Liz" And she moves fast! The best peanut butter and honey! with rich strawberries and mint ! large variety of beverages too ! The price point is very reasonable!

So happy to have another Bluestone Lane opened in Union Square! The coffee is always the richness and smooth. Although, I came in on a busy morning. One cashier and two baristas. Waiting time was not too bad! It is a smaller shop than the one in Marina.

This is a great stop for some coffee or a quick bite of something healthy and fresh. This cafe is more of a grab n' go coffee shop with no sitting tables. I'm a huge fan of their iced magic which is two shots of espresso and just a small touch of milk; the espresso is very present and isn't as diluted like a latte would be. They have fantastic coffee drinks to choose from. I do want to go back and try their Aussie iced latte which is vanilla ice cream mixed with cocoa and milk; almost like an affogato. If you're craving something different than the typical Starbucks or Blue Bottle, come here and try some Australian style coffee!

This place was a good stop in! A friend and I were walking all over the city and desperately needed a pick me up which led us to this new gem. They have all kind of creations which I definitely recommend. I got an Americano with a scoop of vanilla ice cream so delish! The cafe space itself is very small and only has about 3 high top seats. Everyone was so nice working. Also definitely a plus they carried ALL milk... so rare these days!!

Wow wow wow, this is ridiculous. This is the chicken pesto sandwich. I have never in my life paid over $10 for something so pathetic. This place needs to go out of business. When I tell you it was thinner than a notebook it's not an exaggeration. Skip this place for lunch.

The service was friendly, warm and professional. Ambiance was boogie (is that an ambiance) clean and the prices were decent. I had the chai latte. So good.

Nice little place on Sutter street. They have an abundance of coffee options and their unique Australian coffee which I recommend trying. I got an ice vanilla latte and a bacon egg and cheese on multigrain. Both great options and their service is hella quick!

Service was horrible. Asian guy very rude .. would not acknowledge me .. never looked up .. brought to counter what I was purchasing from the cold area & was asking about Matcha Latte & he wouldn't answer.. he started making it & I asked what size & he was doing a smaller size & I wanted to biggest.. he didn't like it me asking & asking to if they used oat milk & again never replied nor did he look up!!! I asked him if he was in a bad mood or just judging me by how I looked & dressed I was scared he would do something to my drink & kept quiet... never said hello nor thanks .. sad other ppl are looking for jobs while this one has no care in the world who he services .. wish the manager would say or do something.. unless of course he is the manager.. then we are in trouble

I've been coming to bluestone lane for a while now, and it's become my go-to spot for a reason. The coffee is always fresh and consistently excellent--especially the cappuccino The staff is friendly and remembers your name and order, which adds a nice personal touch. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for working, reading, or just relaxing. Thank you Liz, ayde,Sylvia, Steven thank you for excellent service!

Stopped by bluestone for my early morning fix and it hit the spot. Albeit the wait is long! But the staff were friendly and pleasant, so that made the wait ok. Ordered the matcha latte, avocado toast and a green juice. Perfect recipe for a power breakfast to fuel me for the day.

This place really does not have their stuff together. It is obvious the owner is not paying for enough employees. There is one person making drinks and she seems to just not pay attention to who is waiting, and i had to wait 15 minutes for a cold brew while others got served. They take forever to make any kind of food and dont even call out orders when they are completed. I feel bad for the people working there

We stopped at Bluestone Lane for a cappuccino as it was rainy out. I don't remember what my husband ordered but the cappuccino was on point. The service was good and we were able to sit inside for a bit. This coffee spot is connected to a hotel so it looks like it has extended hours. We were happy to take refuge from the rain before moving on to exploring San Francisco.

My coffee tasted like watered down milk. I took a couple sips and threw it out. My friend did the same with hers. The food was bad as was the service. It was not worth the money in the slightest.

On my way to work I saw this cute coffee shop filled with people inside. I let a few more days go by and then weeks and finally I thought, "you know what, you deserve a pastry." I walked into a nearly empty space and was happy I did not have to feel rushed in case I had questions. But I know, you know, i came in with the intention of grabbing a chocolate chip cookie and that's what I came to do. To my surprise, the chocolate chip cookie was perfectly baked to a crisp on the outside and mushy on the inside. What sold me was the sprinkle of sea salt that made my mouth water even more. My only regret is that I didn't buy two. Tip for whenever you visit, come early in case there's a huge line from the hotel coming in. 10/10 I recommend.

Really interesting interior, and open early which is nice in a town where early high quality coffee is a bit wanting. Very attentive and thoughtful staff!

Unfortunately I had to wait 15 minutes for a not very good cappuccino. I've had great lattes/cappuccinos from another Bluestone Lane before, but this is the kind of place where they steam your milk without any care. I could also see the manager sitting in the back kitchen on her phone, while the two other workers were struggling.

This was the only establishment near union square that was open in the early morning and had a matcha latte. There's a kiosk to order your drink too if you didn't want to stand in line. When I was there, there were 2 people ahead of me and I had a question about the menu so I stood in line, which went quickly. I got a matcha latte, which was perfect for the morning. The matcha is earthy at first, but you can add your sugar free sweetener to your liking after receiving your drink. Overall a great place for a quick drink by Union Square.

Was running late for a girls gathering and desperate for coffee when I stumbled into Bluestone Lane. Was delighted to run into Liz working there, she was a cheerful mainstay at my work coffee shop from years ago but had disappeared. She expertly and patiently guided me into trying a new coffee drink which I loved.

This Bluestone Lane outlet (I say outlet because it is a pretty small shop, compared to some larger ones in LA, and elsewhere) offers quick service, on-point drinks, and healthy and rich-enough foods alike. The wellness lattes are nice for when you do not want caffeine, you don't want water, and you desire a lot of flavor (albeit at a steep price point!). Expect to spend $20+ if you are dining for breakfast or lunch with a specialty drink. The sidewalk seats aren't great, but hey it is a seat. There are half a dozen chairs inside and you can often find room to sit and eat a quick lunch. There is a nice common restroom shared with the hotel down the hall. The staff has always had a positive attitude, and they navigate the online/in-person/promo ordering stuffs well. Thanks.

Was looking for a great coffee place before brunch and stopped in here for a matcha latte and a vanilla latte. The matcha flavor was perfect and I could taste the quality of it! The vanilla latte was also very well balanced. With friendly staff, great price, and located by several brunch spots, this place is absolutely worth checking out! I also didn't try the breakfast toasts but I love that they have gluten free bread options!

Go to any other location!! I love love love bluestone lane and always recommend it to my friends in sf. We usually go to the fidi location but that ones closed on weekends. Price is the same for avocado toast and salmon toast, but the portion size is almost half :( Bread is cut more thinly, and the toppings were scarce. Will definitely not be back.

Quick stop for great coffee and vegan breakfast items. There usually is a line, but the service is fast. Street parking is available.

Not the best place :/ There was a very long wait, they seemed to have a lot of online pick-up orders they were catching up on. There was no coffee menu in view. I waited for about 15 mins in line to order, and found a small QR code at the cashier, which I could only see when it was my turn to order. By then, it's too late to take a glance at it with a line waiting behind me. I quickly ordered an almond croissant from the case and a latte. The latte was average, and the almond croissant was crunchy and sugary. Was not very happy. On a more positive note, the decor was very cute!

I've never heard of an Australian-style cafe, so decided to stop in one morning. I ordered a flat white, not really knowing what to expect. At 9:45 a.m. the pastry case was decimated so I chose the only savory item left, some kind of egg tart that turned out to be a mushroom bacon quiche. I recoiled when to quiche rang up at $7-a lot for such a small morsel--but felt a little embarrassed to decline at that point. I was a little surprised when the barista handed it to me in a paper bag straight out of the case. I asked if it could be heated. "Not really. Um, maybe I could put it in the panini press?" she replied. I took a seat, and took a bite of my quiche. After that, the barista said, "Hey, I think maybe I can put that in a pan." Heating food after someone's started eating it seemed unsanitary and I didn't think a pan would heat the quiche evenly, so I declined. Unfortunately the quiche was cold as if it just came out of a refrigerator, the eggs were mealy rather than custard, and the mushrooms were not discernible. I deeply regretted buying it. The espresso in the flat white was fine--gotta love an adequately pulled shot!--but I wondered how this celebrated Australian drink was different than a latte. Googling revealed it's a matter of proportion--so ordering a large flat white (to fit my commuter mug) was akin to ordering a large cappuccino. They don't really exist. Seems like, through my own ignorance, I have yet to experience a flat white even now. The "flat white" latte was passable, though.

Chai was not very good. Syrup flavors were very limited (they didn't even have caramel!) we really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, however, we were turned down on Thanksgiving (around 11am-12pm) because they closed early. We checked their hours which said they closed at 2pm and it was listed as their holiday hours, and we even called to double check however nobody answers the phone and it is just a recording. Honestly disappointing, maybe answer the phone and these issues wouldn't happen!

The vibe in this cafe is great, I'm totally in love with it! PROS: -The coffee is great and the jam + butter toast bar, extremely simple, made soooo well. -The strawberry jam is spread on thick. Plus, it's paired with butter and the thick-sliced multigrain toast was an excellent! -The takeout box is so cute AND it prevents the jam from getting all ruined because the box height is sufficient for the toast to sit comfortably in it. CONS: -Not a con, but the only thing I was a bit confused on was the waste receptacles... there were two but no labels and I was unsure of what was supposed to go where.

We had to come back here before we left the city. The avocado toast with the prosciutto was so tasty. It's has limited seating. The only thing not making me give it a 5 starts was the staff. They were nice to us but was very impatient with the DoorDash person picking up mobile orders.If it was me, I'd help the Dashers so they could get out faster and give customers more room. And not just be annoyed at them. Like if you have to hands, you can also help out.

When you spend $7 on a cup of coffee at least try not to make it look like $1 gas station coffee.

Staying nearby. Came for coffee. Friendly staff and nice selection of food for breakfast. Best for take out. Only a few seats.

Best coffee near Union Square! I really enjoy the kind and courteous staff here! Malia and Elara (hope I spelled those right) are the best, along with the others who work here. Clean store with good vibes and better coffee.

I haven't tried this place/franchise before but it was very convenient at the hotel so I went twice. The multigrain bread they use for their avocado toast and salmon toast I've ordered is amazing. I would want a loaf of that bread to take home. I like the stuff they put on the bread and the options you can choose. The Aussie coffee with ice cream is great too. The idea of getting your cream and ice for a coffee that way is delicious. Unfortunately you can tell how understaffed this place is. It was a busy Monday morning and the poor guy was by himself to take orders and then make them. This was out of his control, but the business should take some responsibility in getting people staffed here. So unfortunately I ordered a poached egg, so it wasn't properly poached but I can't fault the guy since he was alone. He was nice and asked if it wasn't done right he could redo it, but you can see that the line of orders was piling up. Also it would be nice if they had a printed menu or even the QR code to scan for the menu directly, but you had to look up the menu on the phone via search or they'd show you their iPad of their items available.

While I like some of the items on their food menu and their coffee/tea drinks, I hate going to this location simply because the young girl who primarily works behind the counter has no customer service skills or personality. Makes me not want to buy from this place when she is zero percent helpful and could care less about your business.

I love the aesthetic of this place - kinda obsessed with their paint job actually. The service is also super nice (although, lots of people working and not many customers - but I think they're just relatively new). Also, great and convenient location for me :D Ordered a large iced latte and a banana almond toast. The bread is too thick and doughy for almond butter. It's kind of a chore to chew on. Redeeming factor is that packaging is cool. My toast came in a slide out box! However, it seems we can't post boomerangs anymore :( Also, the large latte just seems like more milk more than anything. Not a huge fan. Would come back and adjust my order next time!

Employee at the front with a tattoo on her hand is by far the rudest individual I have ever encountered. This young woman should not be employed here. She was awful. Clearly miserable to be working in the establishment and made the experience extremely unenjoyable.

Excellent espresso macchiato, if you like a protein smoothie try the Protein PB & Blueberry. GF bread option for egg and bacon sandwich

The food here is so yummy!! The coffee is probably one of the most delicious I have in America well done BluestoneLane The team here is so exciting to take you order and guide you to the menu.

I usually love Bluestone Lane and have been coming here for the past few months. I went there today and ordered from the app. The girl at the counter was extremely rude and just stared at me while I sat and waited. Then she looked at me and asked, "are you going to order something?!" I told her I ordered on the app and she pointed to something on the counter. She never called out the order to let me know it was ready. When I grabbed my iced chai tea latte, it looked like this. I tried to stir it with the straw and it never mixed. I had to go home and shake it in a separate cup. Awful service.

I put "avocado toast" into DoorDash and Bluestone came up first - for good reason. My husband and I had delicious avocado toast, plus I had the berry pot and a cappuccino. There are some customizable options and everything tasted great. The coffee wasn't as hot as I'd like by the time it got delivered so if I ordered delivery in the future I'd go extra hot.

Great salmon on toast. Their multigrain bread is great. I'm sure the avocado toast would be yum too. Unlike the big S down the street, they don't have a lot of seating but they do have some. Staff super friendly.

While staying at the connected hotel here in San Francisco we stopped in here a few times for morning coffee. I love having a different experience of coffee besides the typical Starbucks that seem to be on almost every corner. With that I feel like Starbucks has you used to a different style of coffee as well. They were very helpful here to point me in a better direction on what I wanted for coffee and what size I wanted. Prices are a little high here but maybe that's just being in San Francisco. The baristas here are very helpful and nice and the coffee was delicious!! They have a few good items too that are a good start to the morning.

Sat down with a drink at the counter and wanted to chill for a bit before an appointment and someone sat down a bit from me and started talking loud on speaker phone and then watching tik toks at a volume that was louder than the music the cafe was playing. I'm like, great, can't relax here I guess, but when I looked up it was an actual employee. Why? Like why is this a thing?

Picked up my coffee while returning from my doctors office in the financial district. The lady at thr counter greeted me and promptly took my order once she was done serving the customer ahead of me. My latte was ready within 2 minutes. It was good- I wished it was a bit hot though.

The joke (at least in Portland) is that millennials can't afford homes because they're buying avocado toast. And if they're buying it from here, I could see why. This avocado toast was good, but not $13 worth of good. (Granted, it was that much because I added a poached egg and got it on GF toast, but still.) The long black was worth every bit though. Morale: go for the coffee, not for the avocado toast.

Had an ice coffee from this place this morning. It was horrible. 90% Milk 10% coffee. Very little ice so it wasn't even cold. Had to throw it away.

Avocado toast was great, so was that banana toast. But what really makes this 5 star is the lounge next door, just walk you boxes items into the hotel lounge and enjoy the plush seating and good tunes while sipping your morning beverage of choice. Great quick bkfst spot!

Solid 4 Ordered a Magic which is 2 shots of espresso and an equal match of milk with almond oatmeal. Drink was beautifully done. The oatmeal was served room temperature, may work in Australia but weird for us. Service was very good.
