Bluestone Lane Battery Park Café, nestled at 2 River Terrace in New York, has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Renowned for its friendly atmosphere, this coffee shop captures the essence of Australian café culture, offering a bright and inviting space that feels like a sun-drenched escape. Customers rave about the flat white, hailed as a “healing cup” by Matteo Bocci, who also enjoyed an exceptional chocolate chip cookie that hit all the right marks: chunky and chewy perfection.

The café is distinguished not just by its high-quality drinks but also by its attentive staff.

Reviews For Bluestone Lane Battery Park Café

What a lovely place, it almost feels like the Aussie sun is brightly shining once inside! Super friendly staff, relaxed attitude and plenty of amazing choices to satisfy your belly. After days of mediocre coffee at a conference hotel, the flat white I enjoyed here was a true healing cup! And the granola bowl really good. My praise for the chocolate chip cookie with salt, it had it all: chunky, chewy, perfection! Until next time!

The slick corporate marketing of BL belies how personal and inviting this particular spot is. The staff here go out of their way to learn your name, welcome your pups, and treat you like family. Whether it’s good training or just our good luck to have great folks working here, this is a spot at which I’m glad to be a regular. The prices are high everywhere in the city, and consistently at BL locations, but I do think the quality of drink and food here justifies it. Certainly more than at other competing corporate cafe chains!

This was a great place to swing by to have a good breakfast. If you’re around Battery Park are and carving some good eggs, this is the location to come. They offer a large selection of plates, from toasts, salads and bowls... to a big variety of egg plates. The sizes served are big and won’t disappoint a hungry stomach. Everything is cooked at the moment with fresh ingredients. They also have a large selection of coffees, teas and juices, as well as smoothies. Staff is very attentive and although the place is tiny, they have the correct amount of servers making sure there is nothing missing on your table. I had the opportunity to chat with the Manager, who is most of the time present ensuring all is happening smoothly and customers are being well served. I recommend this place if you fancy a casual breakfast in the area, or even if you are at home and you want to have some takeout or coffee to go. Prices are not expensive and very competitive, taking into account the generous portions served.

Angie is a true gem at Bluestone Lane! In a city like NYC where warm, genuine service can be hard to come by, Angie stands out every time. She greets you with a smile that instantly brightens your day and always makes you feel genuinely welcome. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail are consistent — I’ve been coming here many times, and she never misses a beat. On top of the amazing service, the food and drinks are incredible. The smoothies are the best in the city — especially the Bondi Blue smoothie, which tastes like magic. And don’t sleep on the burrito — it’s so satisfying and full of flavor.

A Must-Visit Brunch Spot in NYC! During our stay in New York City, we had the pleasure of discovering this incredible brunch restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the loveliest staff, who made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm, vibrant, and full of charm. The food? Absolutely fabulous. We already can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in town. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious brunch experience!

So glad we stumbled across it. Amazing food choices (athletes burrito was fantastic) and the chai latte was one of the best I’ve had. Coffee is served in a massive jug. Service was great and it wasn’t too busy.
