Bluestone Lane Times Square: A Taste of Melbourne in Midtown

Bluestone Lane Times Square Coffee Shop Introduce

In a city that never stops, finding a tranquil and high-quality spot to grab a coffee or a healthy meal can feel like a small victory. Tucked away from the frantic pace of Broadway, Bluestone Lane Times Square Coffee Shop offers a welcome slice of calm and a taste of Melbourne's renowned coffee culture. This isn't your average coffee stop; it's a cozy and trendy café that serves as a genuine daily escape for New Yorkers and visitors alike. With its Australian-inspired menu, commitment to premium coffee, and a beautifully designed space, Bluestone Lane provides a much-needed respite and a chance to recharge in the heart of one of the world's busiest neighborhoods.

Bluestone Lane's mission is to change people's perception of coffee, making the experience less about a simple caffeine fix and more about an authentic, ritualistic moment of enjoyment. This philosophy is evident in every cup, from their expertly crafted flat whites and long blacks to their innovative lattes. But it’s not just about the coffee; it’s about the full experience. The menu is a vibrant celebration of healthy and delicious food, featuring all-day breakfast options, Aussie comfort food like jaffles and toasties, and fresh salads and wraps. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and trendy, with high ceilings and an open, airy feel that stands in stark contrast to the surrounding concrete jungle. As one customer beautifully put it, it's a "great place to step into, grab a coffee and take a respite from the busy streets of Midtown Manhattan."

Located at 11 Times Square, New York, NY 10036, Bluestone Lane couldn't be more centrally located. Situated in the heart of Midtown, it is a convenient destination for anyone working in the area, exploring the Theater District, or simply passing through Times Square. The coffee shop’s position provides a perfect meeting point and an easy escape from the crowds. Its accessibility is a major plus, with numerous subway lines and bus routes just a short walk away. This makes it a great alternative to the typical chain coffee shops that often feel cramped and overwhelming.

The space itself is a notable feature. The high ceilings and large windows create a bright and serene environment, allowing natural light to flood the space. This is a rare find in the area and provides a welcome, peaceful atmosphere. The coffee shop is also committed to accessibility, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, ensuring that all visitors can enjoy its amenities. With ample seating available, you can easily find a spot to relax, meet with friends, or get some work done.

What makes Bluestone Lane Times Square worth choosing is its ability to deliver on both quality and atmosphere in a location that desperately needs it. It's a "clean, quiet and yummy" alternative to the crowded and often chaotic big-name coffee chains.

The café’s ambiance is a key highlight, offering a serene, bright, and spacious environment that is perfect for a work session, a casual meeting, or simply a moment of peace. It’s an ideal spot for solo dining and a great place to "take a respite from the busy streets of Midtown."

Stopped in for a cappuccino with oat milk — it was smooth, creamy, and really delicious. Two cappuccinos came to $15There are lots of places to sit, so it’s easy to relax or get some work done.The only downside is how cold it is inside — the AC makes it feel almost freezing. Definitely bring a jacket if you plan to stay for more than a quick coffee. Otherwise, a great spot for quality coffee and plenty of seating.

Clean, quiet and yummy. This is a really and quiet coffee shop in the heart of Times Square. This is a great alternative to Starbucks. This store is also open and airy with super high ceilings. It is a great place to step into, grab a coffee and take a respite from the busy streets of Midtown Manhattan. Especially in the summer when the heat is stifling, this is a great escape!
April 29 · Will Bachrach
I ordered an iced strawberry matcha latte and it was delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable. The a.c. was nice and strong in the summer. The cafe is very nice. The only thing that would make this place perfect is if they added outlets to charge your phone.

I ducked into Bluestone Lane’s Times Square outpost on a rainy morning, en route to the Marketing Brew Summit across the street at The Times Center, and was reminded why this Australian import keeps winning converts in a city that doesn’t exactly lack for espresso bars. The shop sits in the Eleven Times Square building at 8th Ave & 41st—immediately north of the New York Times Building and a quick walk to The Times Center’s Stage. Translation: ideal conference pit stop, zero detour.Inside, the vibe is Bluestone Lane textbook—in the best way. Think bright, contemporary café minimalism with coastal cues: crisp lines, pale woods, clean tile, brand-signature blues, and the kind of “sunlit even when it rains” palette that makes a gray Midtown morning feel less…Midtown. It’s part of the chain’s house language—Australian café culture filtered through New York polish—and it reads as intentional rather than themed. (If you know their design pedigree, this tracks: the brand emphasizes light, approachable materials and that unmistakable blue as a unifier across locations.)Staff were on-brand, full stop: coordinated aprons and pieces that match the room’s palette and the packaging—no random tees or mystery merch—so the whole operation looks composed without feeling corporate. It’s small, but these details matter; hospitality is a design system, not just a smile. (Bluestone Lane leans into a lifestyle brand approach, where the apparel and café identity are meant to harmonize, and it shows.)The drink: a large Americano, properly extracted and—crucially—actually hot. On a wet morning, that temperature discipline is the difference between “meh, fuel” and “ahh, I have circulation again.” Bluestone’s espresso program is consistently dialed, and here it landed squarely in the chocolate-leaning, gently bitter pocket that plays well with hot water. No scorched, hollow roast; no sour underpull. Just clean, sturdy crema and steam that fogs your glasses for a second—my preferred barometer. Menu-wise, this location runs the brand’s familiar spread (wellness lattes, Avo Smash, grab-and-go), so if you want to pair your Americano with something civilized before a day of panels, you’re covered.Service moved briskly without lapsing into Times Square chaos. Line management was sane, orders landed in the right hands, and the room gave me just enough perch space to stage a notebook, badge, and umbrella without impaling a neighbor. If you’re heading to The Times Center afterward, this is as seamless as Midtown gets: caffeine, bite, two crosswalks, in your seat with time to spare.Bottom line (from one snob to another): For a chain, Bluestone Lane’s Times Square shop shows uncommon brand discipline. The ambiance is calm, the design is coherent, the uniforms don’t fight the room, and the Americano arrives hot enough to matter. When you need a pre-conference reset that doesn’t taste like compromise, this is the move.

Great gluten free options including tasty bread, cakes and snacks. Good breakfast tea too. All with Aussie vibes.
