It’s a decently large Starbucks with seating. This Starbucks only had Cold Brew, not iced coffee. You need to request condiments separately.

The air conditioning wasn’t working but the staff were still very friendly. Bluestone Lane has a coffee float. There isn’t much seating room.

I went here for dinner with a large group. The environment is immaculate with great aesthetics and sound proofing. The wine selection is very good. We particularly liked the halibut, hamachi crudo, hen mushrooms, gazpacho, and cake. We were not the biggest fans of the tagliatelle. The potato purée was polarizing. Some people found the banana upside down cake too sweet. It was others’ favorites. It’s worth noting that the mint chip ice cream tastes more like spearmint than peppermint because some people dislike spearmint. I’d recommend this spot for special occasions.

I got a large hot latte with milk. It was creamy with good foam consistency. The coffee was not bitter. The large doesn’t feel that large. Blank street does a significant app/online order business. The baked goods looked large and fresh. Staff was friendly. It’s a little less expensive that other coffee shops for very good quality.

I had the classic chicken paitan ramen. It was tasty and decently priced given the size and toppings. The pork char sui was very good. I was disappointed that there wasn’t really any lighter broth options on the paper menu and that the miso was still with the paitan broth. There were many individual diners seated at large tables when they could have eaten at the bar. There is a B health rating as of December 2022. I’d eat it again but will try other places.
