They have the best flat whites! Reminds me of my time in Sydney.
Now that summer has arrived Im working my way through various cold brews. I want to couch this review by saying that Im a pretty big fan of Bluestone Lanes overall experience. The house cold brew was fine. Smooth and a tiny bit of almond nuttiness. But seemed very weak and flat on flavor. That does make it easy to drink, but not especially compelling.
I recently tried the Bluestone Lane Maverick Espresso Roast at their caf in Harvard Square, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. This espresso had a noticeable caramel flavor with a light, lemony finish. I could also detect hints of raspberry, which added a subtle fruity note to the taste. One thing that stood out to me was the lightness of the coffee, making it an easy and refreshing choice. The crema on top was well-executed, providing a creamy texture. However, I found the coffee to be slightly more tart than I personally prefer. While it didn't overpower the other flavors, the acidity was noticeable. It didn't significantly impact my enjoyment of the coffee, but it may not be to everyone's taste. The caf itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, I would give the Bluestone Lane Maverick Espresso Roast a four-star rating. It offers a pleasant blend of flavors with the caramel and raspberry notes being the highlights. The lightness of the coffee and the good crema contribute positively as well. Although it may be slightly more tart than desired, it remains a solid choice for those seeking a flavorful espresso.
