Bluestone Lane Santa Monica Coffee Shop

Had a very relaxing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was pleasantly calm. Would highly recommend.

Some of the baristas don’t know how to make a cappuccino, pretty disappointing way to spend 7 dollars. Poor customer service as well. Though that’s not usually the case on weekends in the past. New male baristas seem to not care about service. Please train your employees.

I’m a big fan of this coffee spot so I’m writing this hoping it returns to its higher standards.

My girlfriend and I went here after we got our hair cut, and the whole experience was really disappointing.

I ordered a cold brew, she ordered an iced vanilla latte, and we got an avocado toast to share. The baristas clearly weren't trained, as I asked a couple of questions about the menu and was answered with essentially blank stares. There wasn't really any seating aside from an oversized wooden table outside with benches that didn't really fit, so we stood around the cluttered interior for a few minutes waiting for our drinks.

I feel like cold brew is pretty hard to mess up, but mine was borderline undrinkable (watered-down and flavorless, aside from the bitterness). GF's iced latte, on the other hand, was disgustingly over-sweet. The avocado toast was way smaller than she remembered from other locations and way too lemony, though there was a decent amount of avocado. Not to mention, all this cost WAY more than it was worth (almost $25).

I don't leave this review maliciously; I'm always excited to try new coffee shops, but this one left me to likely not return here or to other Bluestone Lane locations.

It seems that the staff is not having a good day. They are unfriendly. They didn't greet us and were displeased when I was not familiar with the menu.

Definitely this is not a breakfast spot but a coffee shop if you looking for a breakfast find a different spot… they don’t serve it on the dishes and burrito came all messed up

Unfortunately, only one person serving so a very long wait. Would have been ok had the coffee been any good but it was quite literally the worst Americano I've had. Bad, I mean comparable to vending machine coffee bad.

My experience here is very underwhelming. Crap coffee, even by American standards and very slow service. Go to Verve in Capital One instead

3 person inside, 10 minute for a coffe and a cappuccino.

Consistently excellent coffee!!?

Very nice people! Good coffee, it's a good place just to stop in but small so not much space to stay and work.

Great spot for breakfast especially if you’re Australian! Super friendly staff. The avocado toast with the lot is some of the best I’ve ever had. I did try the banana bread (was served cold) but it wasn’t very good. Would recommend getting it warmed up with some butter if possible.
