Takeout isn’t worth the price. They give you a completely different menu item.

Bluestone lane is amazing ! We stayed at a Airbnb across the street and on our way back home as hectic as it was we stopped for some food. Everyone was welcoming . As a mother of a toddler made our seating as easy as it could get. Not many planes are hands on with helping with toddlers but the faster he settled down the faster I could read the menu . We will be back ! Thank you every single one of you.
That's the service

The food ?!? FRESH! It feels like clean eating and the coffee doesn't make me bounce off the walls gave me the perfect wake up I don't want to go back home now lol

An amazing space!
I love stopping by when I’m around Center City.
I stop by for some coffee, food and get some computer work done, the best of the three worlds.

The atmosphere is serene, and lots of light.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors, no steps to enter the space.

The coffee was good, the sandwich was one of the strangest and worst I've ever eaten (probably ever) a poached egg with something that looked strange and not like cheese and two other unclear sauces.. $15 for a sandwich like that is a crime.
Also you can’t just grab something and sit for a few minutes to have it and go, it’s ONLY full service.

This is a hard review to write because I absolutely used to love coming here (going back to when Trista, Kylie, and Sarah worked here), and the hot drinks here are some of the best in the area. I used to come here regularly (every day), but I stopped because it’s hard to overlook how gross the place is (see photos of floor, benches, window sill, & table base). I agree with the recent review that said this place looks worn and dirty. The floors are ALWAYS absolutely filthy and there is a ton of food debris between the grates/slats of the benches. The floors look like they’ve never been mopped and judging by the amount of food in the benches, those aren’t getting properly cleaned either. I visited almost everyday for 4 days straight once and there was lettuce from a salad on the floor under the table where I sat on Day 1 and it stayed exactly there rotting through Day 4. They simply do not sweep or mop the floors, at least not often enough for how high foot traffic is at this location. And, why have benches with slats that trap food if you’re not going to clean them regularly? Even the window sills behind you when you sit by the windows are gross and make me careful not to let my hair or coat touch them. The bathroom is also disgusting. Someone had diarrhea in one of the bathrooms and it stayed splattered on the toilet for many days until it was eventually cleaned (I was too grossed out to stay in there long enough to take pics). That was the final straw for me in terms of this being one of my regular spots. If this is what the front of this place looks like, I don’t want to imagine the back kitchen. Pros: The staff are great (though the previous staff were a bit more friendly and invested more in getting to know regulars in the neighborhood), they make the BEST matcha latte in town (high quality matcha powder), and many of their food items are delish. It really is a shame that they don’t invest in regularly performing basic cleaning because it's such a nice location (spacious with a ton of natural light). Management should consider closing this location for one day to do a deep clean if they're not going to do basic cleaning daily at closing. Because of how disgusting this location is, I can’t dine in here anymore.

Dietary restrictions: I've dined with friends who had restrictions and they accommodate restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten free. There is cross contamination though, so not a great place if you have extreme allergies (for example, my vegan friend saw pieces of scrambled egg in her dish. They did kindly re-make it, but still).

Kid-friendliness: Space is large enough to accommodate strollers
