As part of an Aussie/American couple, this Aussie-inspired cafe gets the stamp of approval! The coffee and baristas there are great and make a strong, yet not butter nor burnt, flavorful coffee. The avocado toast actually has plentiful avocado on it and I was delighted to see the chili flakes and micro greens on top too. Also get the halloumi and poached eggs on top! Will definitely be back!

Avoid! Very disappointing, not worth the price. The place is nice but it's dirty, there were a lot of mosquitos on my table and the restrooms.. just terrible. Food looks nice but the taste was actually pretty bad, overdressed salad, overcooked poached eggs, hard bread, the combination of ingredients and flavors was overwhelming and not in a good way. Giving it 2 stars because the staff was nice and polite, and the matcha latte was ok. Not coming back though!

The setting is very nice, it’s hard to not compare Bluestone to the previous café/bakery, and I think they’ve done a nice job- it’s always been a tight space but that’s part of the charm. Tastefully appointed. On the other hand a couple disappointments were the person taking orders spent as much time checking her fingernails as taking my order; the latte has zero coffee flavor, lots of latte though;). The apple turnover was very tasty but for some reason the crust was soggy. Overall pleasant but a tad- - soggy overall. The server who brought our goodies out was very friendly.

Tried this Australian chain on a busy Saturday afternoon in Harvard square. Make reservations ahead if you can. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes but it ended up only being about 15. (They text you when ready.) Order by QR code, staff also helpful. Great menu with salads, bowls, egg dishes and lots of toasts and coffee. We tried the grain and chicken bowl, the eggs and bacon toast and breakfast bowl. All fresh and delish. Good sized portions, not cheap. For three people around $70. New and different so we thought it was worth it. Looking forward to another full service location in Boston.

Simple Good food Health creative options Not inexpensive Ordering is done by QR code. Unfortunately this level of service lead to my coffee arriving well after I had finished everything else At least for the coffee they should make the self-serve or an honor system

The food was good but for the prices charged I would like to be not on top of other customers or have to order from a QR code. Breakfast for 3, and one ordered a shake was over $60! The other two orders were a breakfast bowl and an avocado toast with a poached egg. The egg was almost $4 extra to add. The two drinks were a hot coffee and a mocha iced coffee which were very good.

I was really excited eating at this place since it was my first time visiting the Harvard Campus. We were walking around and decided to grab some brunch. The latte was satisfying and it was tasty. However the burrito they offered wasn't too my expectations. I felt like it needed seasoning since I didn't taste any thing in it and I wish the bacon was alot more crisper. If I ever come back again, I'll try another option next time.

The food was good but it took 40 minutes to get my eggs and another 10 for my sister’s to arrive. I was done with my meal before she even got hers. They left off the avocado on her burrito. My $5 double shot latte was the size of a shot glass and was entirely milk, I don’t think there was even a full shot of espresso in there. You order and pay on your phone (where you have to leave a tip before even getting your service?) so there basically wasn’t even a waiter to come fix anything

Burger is the best for me

Great cappuccino, came in a very pretty cup with latte art. Also a good place for the gram - since the lighting here is perfect! Nice place to hang out with friends. Music is very calming and goes with the overall vibe of the place
