Bluestone Lane Harvard Square Café

1. I recently had breakfast at this place that I’ve previously visited in New York! The cozy, inviting atmosphere made it a great spot to start the day.

   I ordered a latte, which was smooth and perfectly brewed. We shared the scrambled eggs with feta cheese, which were delicious, especially with the addition of a flavorful, spicy sauce that gave it a unique kick. The highlight of the meal, though, was the blueberry pancake—fluffy and topped with fresh blueberries and jam, with maple syrup on the side. Every bite was heavenly!

   Overall, this Boston location delivered a fantastic breakfast experience, and I’m sure I’ll be back whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommend!

2. A cute sit down restaurant with a variety of healthy drinks, and food options. Came here for a bondi blue smoothie and very berry smoothies as it was a healthy option. One of our very berry smoothies had a hair in it!!! Of course we went back to get that fixed but that kinda dampened our mood to the food itself.

3. So nice! Friends and I decided to dine outside, and the atmosphere was wonderful, with someone playing blues-y guitar down the street. The food was so good – I got the athlete’s burrito, and my friends got the chicken & bacon club sandwich and the Bondi smoothie. All the food was so good, but definitely get napkins – it can get messy quickly with the hand held food. The people were so nice. Would definitely come back here again.

4. Really enjoyed my food and the whole vibe of the place. It is pricy, so I wouldn’t come often, but you can try teas and foods you don’t get elsewhere!

   I did have an issue with my burger coming to me bloody (I don’t like that). I took two awful bites before figuring out why the burger was so awful, and telling the waitress I wanted one medium-well. She took the food back, then a few min later returned with it and someone I can only assume was a manager, who said they couldn’t take it back (having managed my own cafe, I know that what they couldn’t do is take my food back and then bring it back to my table, which is what they did. What they CAN do is throw it out and remake it, which is, I hope, what happened today). When the manager brought the burger back, she said they couldn’t take it back due to health codes, “so, I mean, is it okay?”

   I said it was not okay. I don’t eat bloody burgers.

   She said “well if you don’t specify it comes medium.”

   I said “well the waitress didn’t ask how I wanted it and I was distracted and didn’t think to mention.”

   She said “well, next time, remember to mention.” And took it away.

   Really awful customer service. I was shocked, but it seemed like she might be new or something, so I don’t think this is the norm.

   When the burger was finally done medium- well, I enjoyed it and left.

   Maybe this person was new? Maybe they were inexperienced? Cooking a burger wrong and remaking it isn’t a big deal so I wasn’t sure why it was being made into one. I ordered several dishes, so it wasn’t like I was sending everything back, but to send a bloody burger back is pretty reasonable.

   Other than that incident, everything went well. I’ve been here before and didn’t have an experience like that so I don’t think it’s the norm.

5. Cute coffee shops with lots of drink options. I don’t drink coffee really, so I ordered the strawberry matcha drink. It was pretty good! We sat outside because it was pretty full seating inside. Luckily the weather was fine.
