Bluestone Lane - West Village

             Bluestone Lane is one of the Australian cafes that are popping up in New York City. The owner is from Melbourne and he really wants to bring the coffee scene in Melbourne to New York City. Bluestone Lane has four locations throughout the city, midtown east, financial district, Bryant Park and West Village. Today I will be reviewing the Bluestone Lane Collective Cafe in West Village. The Bluestone Lane Collective Cafe is located on Greenwich Avenue, it is the only Bluestone Lane that has a dine in service compare to the other ones which are just coffee shops. There are three parts of to this cafe, when you first enter the door you will see the espresso bar and there are three tables and window seats near the bar. Then if one walks through the small hall way, there is another room that has around seven or eight tables. My favorite part of the cafe is the little patio/backyard they have, I love going to the backyard in the summer to just talk to friends and escape the crowds in Manhattan.
            When you think of coffee and Melbourne, the first thing that will come to your mind would probably be a flat white. Bluestone Lane serves amazing flat whites and they also have another drink called the Aussie Latte which is a normal latte with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it, best thing to drink in the summer! I am a very indecisive person and the food menu just makes me want to order every single thing. The avocado toast is a popular choice by many people, but my favorite has to be the warm banana bread. The banana bread is toasted with ricotta and honey comb on top, goes perfectly well with any coffee drinks on the menu. For a savory dish, I recommend the egg sliders which is brioche buns with fried eggs, prosciutto, avocado, sprouts and a homemade sauce. (I am drooling over my keyboard as I'm thinking about the food)
