Bluestone Lane Midtown East Coffee Shop

My matcha latte was too hot, every matcha lover knows that matcha is a very gentle substance and too hot temperature kills the taste and a lot of benefits. As a general rule, you should be able to hold a matcha latte paper cup without a sleeve and it won't be burning your hand. Overall the ambiance is pretty basic, not a place to stay and sip your beverage. Grab and out.

I look forward to my walk from GC to my office, because on my way, I visit Bluestone Lane (400 Madison Ave.) for a coffee drink. I get a flat white: espresso in the 12oz cup with whole milk filled halfway maybe third way. The resulting drink is smooth, buttery, round, non-acidic, perfectly yellowish golden dense foam, which, just at a glance I know it is good. Then to compliment the coffee and close the experience in as good a note as the drink, is the team. This amazing and welcoming small group of people are warm, welcoming and efficient. They create a vibrant wholistic experience, even at their busiest they draw you in. It's a pleasure to start mornings from such a good vibe. I love this location because I am here often. I have also visited other BL locations and have found consistency with coffee and service. Of course, there are neighboring coffee houses I can choose from, given that prices for a similar drink are at par, however, the coffee and service at these neighboring places are moody. Hope you will receive and perceive the same service and experience I do when you visit Bluestone Lane at 400 Madison Avenue: a mini vacation each time. (p.s. management should consider re-opening a spot in CT. I think there's room for Bluestone Lane brand and format, this time in places like New Canaan/Darien/Greenwich) Cheers!

2 years later and it's still the best coffee shop on Madison ave. The staff is amazing. Very friendly and personable. They are my favorite baristas! I appreciate that they always have my drink ready. 5 star service every time! My new favorite coffee shop! They make the best flat white nice and strong! But my absolute favorite drink is their beet root late. If you haven't tried it, you must. So delicious and refreshing you can get it hot or cold. Simply the best! They also have a great selection of food, I usually get the toast with almond butter and bananas, always hits the spot. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and quick!
