Simon StelzlDecember 27, 2016We had to wait 40 min for our food cause their machine broke down. For compensation they offered us a 25% discount on our food, free drinks and free donuts - get the Avocado toast!!
Simon KratzerDecember 27, 2016After waiting 45min for our coffees due to a break down of their system, they were very friendly and we got a 40% discount on everything. The avocado toast is awesome!
- Eshrefe ShehuFebruary 2, 2017This cafe is a very nice spot to visit in every season. Love that it's located in the annex of the church facing Central Park and near to the Guggenheim Museum. Avocado toast and coffee is delicious.

Things I really like here: green juice, cold brew, Aussie iced coffee (iced late with scoop of ice cream). Place just opened and it is awesome
- Ben MackeyJanuary 17, 2016A little Australian cafe in a very cute chapel on the Museum Mile. Get the Avo toast, banana bread, a flat white and a chai latte.
Love the location of this Bluestone Lane! It's part of a beautiful church & the interior is stunning. Although the menu is small, the food is delicious and kinda healthy. Coffee & service are mediocre
AmberAugust 8, 2017I love the Aussie cafe food at Bluestone and this one is tucked into the alcove of a church next to the Guggenheim. Small, but avo toast, rainbow bowl, banana bread, coffee, and chai are a must!
Vito GialloAugust 16, 2015Extremely nice ambiance, on a large quiet sidewalk in front of Central Park. Unique spot. And good cappuccino too. newly redone
- L. S.March 12, 2016Trendy coffee shop in the side chapel of a church. Solid espresso with a cute background in which to enjoy. What's not to love about that. Definitely worth a pit stop of one is in the area.
Jonny McCormickSeptember 10, 2016Awesome little spot. The atmosphere is brilliant such a lovely spot in the side chapel of an old church. The food is amazing I had the toasted banana bread with berries etc. The service is friendly.
Wonderful and attentive service. SUPER dog friendly, in fact, almost everyone had their dog with them. Love the avocado toast and the homemade cookies!
- Chris MessinaJune 1, 2019Avocado toast is good, but needs salt and chili flakes. I should have asked for that. Def crowded on weekends since it's on Museum Mile.
Haneen 💍January 14, 2019The hostess was so nice and kind! Love their Americano! Breakfast is yummy! Avocado toast with smoked Salmon and poached egg! Just limited seating!
Maisoon MaJuly 14, 2018Crowded cafe but it deserves waiting! Don’t miss the avocado sandwich I’ve chosen in with Salman and egg , the coffee was great and good service
Sravanti TekumallaOctober 19, 2017The perfect place to people watch on the UES when it’s warm out. Get the half and half avo toast and granola!
Kevin O'NeillSeptember 22, 2017One of the best coffee brands in the city. They're Aussie so try to stick to what they do best - flat whites, avo toast and curing hangovers.
Emily JenkinsAugust 23, 2017lovely place to sit and eat and people watch! the avocado toast was alright, although the tomatoes were unripe on it, but I think that was bad luck!! word of warning-they only take credit card!
D KJuly 25, 2016Great coffee, tasty overnight oats, but the breakfast sandwich is what's really phenomenal!
Kimmie OhhOctober 20, 2020Great spot to people watch. Service is very friendly. Setting is stunning & located in a church.
Carmen RodriguezMay 8, 2016The beers are just ok, the coffee is great. Fresh, aromatic coffee, presentation was lovely. The place has a great view if you sit at the long table inside.
Andrew HayakawaAugust 27, 2017A cafe right next to a church by Central Park and the Copper Hewitt Museum. Food and service was very good. Highly recommend the Moroccan chicken sandwich
Christina ChinAugust 14, 2017Cute aussie place in a church, crowded for brunch, can have a wait. Moroccan chicken sammie was just ok, nothing special, would try the avocado toast. Ice chai latte was big!
cj fitzgeraldMarch 20, 2018Adorable Aussie coffee shop in an old cathedral. Their avocado toast is also really good. Go in the morning before the museums open.
Amy RobertsonDecember 2, 2016Very busy on the weekend but an adorable space inside a chapel. Always a great flat white.
MonOctober 2, 2018The brekkie board is my go to, it has the best of both worlds. Avocado toast and granola yoghurt cup.
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 29, 2018A gorgeous location (almost looks like an old chapel) conveniently located right along museum mile, adjacent to the park. I don't recommend the food, but the coffee is strong and tasty.
Kayleigh HarringtonOctober 24, 2016Amazing service. Truly delightful to get a coffee here before or after a museum or the park.
Renae MasonAugust 9, 2015This is the coffee shop to go to before hitting up your favorite museum on the mile. Australians can enjoy a Flat White here too!- Renae MasonAugust 18, 2016Australians know how to do fresh salads and espresso. Grab some banana bread too for a treat, and a flat white.
RoseMarch 31, 2017May be the most beautiful coffee shop in NYC. Go during the warm months. It's quite the experience.
Susan J CampbellMay 31, 2016Iced tea and avocado toast both delicious. Lovely outdoor seating and warm Australian server. Love this place!
Hyun Jeong LeeMay 25, 2017Beautiful ambiance, particularly for the outside seatings for summer brunch! Perfect for doggie watching 🐶🐶
Fantastic Melbourne-style coffee and food in a wonderful location on the upper east side.- Ashley HornJanuary 18, 2016Great and unique ambience to sit in rather than take away, if you can get a spot. Weekends busy.
Rose AhnAugust 28, 2016Super cute restaurant right next to the park. Unfortunately their food, service, and hospitality don't match up.
- Just tried the Aussie iced latte..liked it! Be sure to get it early bc they run out of ice cream
Anthony ZacharzewskiApril 7, 2016Fantastic coffee in a beautiful building on the edge of Central Park- Tasia HopeDecember 17, 2021Everything but trying to order with ads popping up from Google on my Android. Great location but CP & museums.
Ignacio DominisNovember 17, 2015If you want to change your common places go for it. Eccentric, beautiful and kindness place. Bravo!
Ryan Scott TandyMay 28, 2016The apple cider doughnuts are good but a bit oily. Avocado toast is on point!
DDOctober 6, 2016Stunning location, great coffee, but the service can be infuriating - even for the sainted.
Ham & cheese biscuits are a tasty, savory treat. They've saved me on many mornings.
Jackie NapalanDecember 13, 2016Extremely tight quarters. Cute concept of having a hipster coffee shop within a ornate church building, but very limited seating.
