Bluestone Lane
333 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Bluestone Lane brings an Australian coffee perspective to Long Beach with a La Marzocco machine and thoughtful espresso drinks like the magic and flat white, though quality can be inconsistent. Tucked in the Westin hotel lobby with solid pastries and light food, it's a pleasant spot for a quick meet-up, but be warned: they close early (often by 11am) and staff tends to shut down ahead of posted hours. If you catch them on a good day, you'll taste what inspired their Sydney roots, but nearby shops in the area might be worth exploring if timing doesn't work out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Not comparable to the coffee shops within a few blocks. Recommend taking a walk if you have the time. Otherwise this place is ok. Hotel staff typically closes up 30 min early, so don’t wait until 12pm if you are a late riser due to work/travel schedule.
Coffee was pretty good, pastries and the burrito (with vegan sausage) were great, was nice taste of what you can get in Sydney (average coffee in Sydney can be excellent). The issues I had was that the service was slow and when I ordered a bambicino for my 3-year-old, I was…
Drove 30 minutes to get a promised "Australian Coffee". My expectations were high, after 3 weeks in California tasting the worst coffees daily! Ordered a Magic, temperature was perfect but bitter tasting coffee. Team were friendly, slow service - maybe I just chose the wrong…
Great little Australian inspired coffee shop in the Westin hotel lobby. La Marzocco espresso machine and delicious pastries. Offers classic drinks inspired down under like the long black and flat white. Appropriately third wave. Caffeine just kicked in. Time to jet.
