Bluestone Lane Venice Beach Café

I was really excited eating at this place since it was my first time visiting the Harvard Campus. We were walking around and decided to grab some brunch. The latte was satisfying and it was tasty. However the burrito they offered wasn't too my expectations. I felt like it needed seasoning since I didn't taste any thing in it and I wish the bacon was alot more crisper. If I ever come back again, I'll try another option next time.

As part of an Aussie/American couple, this Aussie-inspired cafe gets the stamp of approval! The coffee and baristas there are great and make a strong, yet not butter nor burnt, flavorful coffee. The avocado toast actually has plentiful avocado on it and I was delighted to see the chili flakes and micro greens on top too. Also get the halloumi and poached eggs on top! Will definitely be back!

Avoid! Very disappointing, not worth the price. The place is nice but it's dirty, there were a lot of mosquitos on my table and the restrooms.. just terrible. Food looks nice but the taste was actually pretty bad, overdressed salad, overcooked poached eggs, hard bread, the combination of ingredients and flavors was overwhelming and not in a good way. Giving it 2 stars because the staff was nice and polite, and the matcha latte was ok. Not coming back though!

Best almond croissant I?ve ever had!! Food is really good and staff is friendly and attentive, coffee is amazing. It was our fist time and we were so happy, we had the lemon ricotta pancakes and BL burrito, everything was perfect 10/10 Can?t wait to come back!

Not impressed. The menu looked exciting upon first glance, so we were super excited to dine here. We were confused as to why orders were taken via QR code at a sit down place, especially when we placed our order and it printed us to pay immediately- what if I want to order more food and keep my tab open? Nope. Must pay NOW. Our order wasn?t able to be placed unless we tipped. It was required. Who am I tipping? How do I know how much to tip if I haven?t received any service? We noticed all of this and still chose to order. Neither of us ate our meals. The eggs were over cooked and not seasoned, the bread was soggy and seemed old. Everything was lackluster, especially for over $20. The only saving grace was the potato wedges with the chili sauce, those were delicious. The staff was also kind. Overall I don?t recommend this place and I won?t be returning. There are much better places in Harvard Sq (Tatte, Life Alive, Flour etc? that won?t cost you as much and serve edible food.
