Crema's Take
“The blueberry matcha here is genuinely exceptional—rich, balanced, and worth ordering even if you're not usually a matcha person. This tiny café is physically attached to the Church of the Heavenly Rest, which creates an unexpectedly serene and beautiful dining space that makes it feel more like a retreat than a typical Upper East Side coffee stop. The pastries and breakfast items are solid, the staff are warm and attentive, and it's the kind of place regulars become protective of.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Stopped by Bluestone Lane mid-day on Sunday and really enjoyed the food and coffee! The space itself is striking. It’s connected to the Church of the Heavenly Rest, which makes for a beautiful setting. It’s a small café, so there was about a 10-minute wait for a table. My…
