This restaurant was just amazing! I have a gluten allergy and unlike most restaurants they actually offer gluten free bread to the table. And the bread is homemade garlic bread. This really was probably the best bread I have ever had. It was restaurant week when we came so I ordered a salad off of the menu and it was great! I really do recommend this place it’s great and they are soooo good with allergies!
BEST COFFEE IN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK ! My wife and I were in Manhattan, New York for an 8 day vacation staying at the Hotel Beacon on Broadway not far from this cafe. Good coffee shops are hard to find..exceptional ones even harder ! After very average coffees on Saturday and Sunday in Manhattan we knew there had to be better. My wife found this Bluestone Lane location online and this place was going to be our first port of call early on Monday morning. In fact it was just a 10 minute walk here discovering fun new places along the way like a French bakery we later visited. When we arrived around 8.30am the staff were all wearing facial masks ( in New York City it was mandated to wear facial masks in public etc during our stay ) but we still felt their happy smiles. We were offered to sit at a table inside the very cosy cafe. A happy very interesting server named Matthew ( we assumed he was the manager ) came over to say hi. There was a QR Code menu stuck on the table top but these guys also had a very sophisticated online ordering system off their own website. We were still getting used to some East Coast terminologies as we discussed with Matt the type of coffee we should order...a Flat White ( Aussie term we don't hear in Southern California ), a Latte ( always our fav back home ) or a Cappuccino ( which Matthew recommended as the model they made which suited our tastes the best ). We went with 2 x CAPPUCCINOS ! Sticking with their digital ordering system displayed on our iPhones my wife went with SCRAMBLED EGGS, BACON & TOAST with Jam ( thick multigrain gluten free too ) while I wanted HARD POACHED EGGS, BACON & TOAST with VEGEMITE ( that's when we realized there must be an AUSSIE CONNECTION here ). Of course Matthew had earlier introduced himself as an expat West Australian and a working theatre actor. We were informed that an Aussie ( from Melbourne ) named Nick Stone started Bluestone Lane on the West Coast a few years ago. HOW COOL ! After further research on Wiki we discovered that Bluestone Lane has cafes & coffee shops at 51 locations all over the USA. Our incredible looking Cappuccinos arrived courtesy of Matthew who made them perfectly. WOW there was something special going on here...our cappuccinos tasted as good as anything anywhere anytime ! So good we later bought a 12oz bag of Maverick whole roasted coffee beans ( their house blend ) to take home. Our breakfast order arrived thanks to Meriel the food runner and looked so cute...plated individually ( because every item was ordered as a side ). WHOOPEE...I had been having VEGEMITE withdrawal symptoms after just 3 days away from home. BREAKFAST WAS SENSATIONAL...my hard poached eggs were perfect, the delicate delicious strips of bacon were like prosciutto. My wife totally enjoyed her perfect texture scrambled eggs and loved the wispy bacon like me. The thick multigrain toast ( 2 slices ) was delicious with vegemite or jam. We came back here every morning for breakfast or just coffees. All the staff we interacted with here ( Matthew, Rachel, Matt, Sylvie, Amanda..an Aussie from Sydney, Bryan & Meriel were SUPER FRIENDLY and provided EXCELLENT SERVICE every visit. Most coffee shops in the USA which we have encountered copy the Starbucks dumb down model..take your order at the counter and then yell out your name to come & get it in a paper cup...not Bluestone Lane who know how to pamper you at your table. It's like going to see your personal coffee therapist...you leave feeling REAL GOOD every time !
Their gluten free savory crepes are delicious and very filling. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting crepes, esp a gluten free one!
Food is great, portions are big, and they are great with allergies! I have Celiac disease and am incredibly sensitive to gluten and didn't get sick at all when eating here.
A local gem with exceptional sandwiches, unique gluten-free treats, and a strong commitment to customer care at great prices.

Gluten Free Bagel
First time in my life a gluten free bagel, I asked for advice considering my little experience in the matter, I took classic bagels, salmon, cioole, tomato and spreadable cheese. Delightful!!! Then I had a second one with bacon, eggs and avocado.
Immerse yourself in a whimsical fairytale vibe with enchanting decor, delightful teas, and magical touches like fairy wings and fairy dust.

We went to this cute place having read some positive reviews, and we confirm everything: good food, friendly staff, fairytale atmosphere. There are gluten-free options on the menu, more savory than sweet
Amazing Reuben sandwich which they were able to make on Gluten Free Bread. Experienced no illness from it. Was an incredible amount of food and was absolutely lovely. Coffee regularly topped up and friendly service. 1 star knocked off because when we went back for pancakes and French toast a day later it wasn't quite the same experience. The pancakes were a bit bland. Would definitely go back for another sandwich though and the omlettes other people had looked amazing.
Experience a modern bakery with a unique cruller that’s a delightful mix of doughnut and churro, plus a cozy vibe for indoor and outdoor seating.

Excellent bakery. Somewhat pricey but delicious food. Free tap water is provided.
Their Cruller is a crossover between a doughnut and a churro. It's delicious. My wife had a gluten-free salmon and avocado, and she described the bun as very tasty, which is not a given in the gluten-free space.
Modern interior. You can sit inside and outside on the sidewalk. Wheelchair accessible. Restrooms on-site are clean but probably not wheelchair accessible, given the tight door.
I can recommend without hesitation. We will visit again.
Such a great UWS coffee shop. Quite a bit of seating in the back, although it can get pretty crowded. Their gluten free baked goodies are amazing if they have them in stock when you're there!
A cozy spot with a charming vibe, offering unique specials that keep locals and visitors coming back for more!

Salumeria Rosi is our go to place when we come to the City. We love how quaint it is and the food is delicious. Nicole treats us like family. Chef Lorenzo and his kitchen staff are always whipping up new specials. The gluten free pasta is delicious. I recommend the gnocchi and the lasagna. We bring our friends and family with us so they can experience this little treasure on the UWS. Making a reservation beforehand is always a good idea.
A go-to spot for fresh, consistently delicious dishes any time of day, featuring attentive service that keeps you coming back for more!

Our favorite bakery in the neighborhood! Absolute must-try items include: kouign-amann (an unbelievable sweet treat that I had never before encountered), chocolate raspberry croissant (the buttery croissant complements the jam splendidly), and tiramisu (I've never been a fan of traditional tiramisu but this gluten-free version is amazing). The weekend-only baguettes make the best sandwiches and their chocolate chip cookies are, imho, better than Levain! And don't forget the savory ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches that melt in your mouth and are far better than any other breakfast sandwich around. Lucky to be a local and can't recommend enough to those visiting the neighborhood. Enjoy!

Excellent food and service!
The menu is slightly different and more creative than a typical Turkish restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious. The lamb shank and the pistachio mud pie was to die for.
My mother had gluten allergy and they were very accommodating.
Will definitely go back!
