Bluestone Lane Los Altos Café - Los Altos, California

The ambiance is wonderful, the restaurant is bright and cozy. Drinks are great, they have offer plant-based substitutions.

Some dishes can be modified to be vegan/friendly if you omit cheese in avocado toast or a salad, but nothing really substantial if you don’t eat meat. The Green Goddess salad that I had today had way too much dressing, even though another avocado dressing was on the side of the plate. The salad was spicy which came as a surprise to me. I don’t mind a little of kick, but dressing was overpowering. I was thinking to order a piece of bread but I could only order 2 pieces of bread for $7.50 with a small side of butter and jam…

Took out 1 star from Service section because they didn’t clean out table for a really long time, I had to watch and hunt them down to ask to clean, and then to ask for a check, and we spent there a good 2 hours or so, they were not paying attention to our section, I only saw them seating a couple of new tables and taking care of their orders but didn’t pay attention to us.

Pancakes that my friend ordered for her daughter looked scrumptious, I wish they offered at least one vegan pastry or dessert.

Had to wait ~20mins in the weekend and worth it. The avocado toast was quite enjoyable. It offers a great ambience which it’s good to hang out with friends.

Very chill place to have branch, family and pets friendly. The food looks beautiful and fancy and tastes healthy. The Avocado smash toasted is good. I’ve been here twice and one thing I didn’t like is the long waiting time, we waited for like 30mins for food to be served.

It’s a beautiful cafe. Patio and porch are lined with nice plants and flowers. Super picturesque. Inside is brightly lit and has an open feeling; not cramped. But service is slow and I’m glad someone told us to scan the QR and order that way as opposed to waiting for a server. Once we ordered that way, food and drinks were pretty fast. The food was delicious! At least the breakfast burrito and avocado toast were.

The food here was actually great, and as someone who has been to Australia, I’d say their Aussie-themed breakfast and coffee menu were impressive. However, the lack of organization and service really impacted the experience.

While the staff was friendly, the ordering system was chaotic. There was a QR code on the table to order, but a waitress also took our order and told us to use both methods. Our QR code order never went through, so we waited 20 minutes for coffee.

Payment was just as confusing—we were first told we could pay at the table, but the waiter never came. Then we were told to use the QR code, but we ended up paying partially by QR code and partially at the register.

On top of that, there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between the staff, as we saw multiple incorrect orders being brought to different tables, including ours. Also, my order came wrong, even though I repeated it twice, but at that point I just gave up and didn’t even mention it.

Overall, this place has a lot of potential, but they really need to refine their ordering and payment system to create a smoother experience.

Bluestone Lane has a beautiful atmosphere, and they even have their own parking lot. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the service is excellent. They have a wide variety of food options. I ordered the brekkie, but since I don’t eat mushrooms, I had to ask them to leave it out. It would’ve been nice if I could’ve swapped it for something else. I finished my meal pretty quickly and had originally planned to stay and work with my roommate for a while, but the tables were quite small, and the space was really noisy, so we didn’t stay long. Overall, though, it’s still a very pleasant spot.

Bluestone Lane Cafe in downtown Los Altos is a gem for brunch lovers. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to relax. The food is really delicious, and I particularly miss their hamburger, which was second to none. I wish they would bring it back to the menu. However, the service quality could use a major improvement. Despite this, it's still a must-go place for a delightful brunch experience.

I’m not sure what sort of operating procedure you’re telling your staff, but it makes absolutely no sense

I just wanna order a coffee and sit down and have a quick conversation with some people, but the server makes me put my name on the list and he says the wait time is 45 minutes

The patio is completely empty … I understand it’s cold and everyone wants to sit inside but I still have to wait 45 minutes for a table on this patio 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I’ll just help myself to a seat
