An EVG reader shared these photos, with one showing an empty storefront.
There isn't any closing notice for patrons on the door of the Australian-inspired coffee shop. However, a Bluestone Lane rep confirmed the closing with EVG.
This Bluestone outpost (the eighth in NYC at the time) opened in April 2016.
We thought they might have seen an uptick in business after Starbucks closed on Astor Place last summer.
Still, many coffee choices are nearby, including two branches of the Bean, Astor Plate, the Madman Espresso airstream trailer outside the Uptown 6 stop, Hidden Grounds around the corner on Third Avenue, Think Coffee on Fourth Avenue, and Irving Farm New York on 10th Street. To name a few in the immediate area.

bluestone lane has the worst customer service of any of the upscale coffee chains. i have stopped going to them. they focus on online orders and by policy seem to ignore people who walk in.
Madman Airstream is gone (disappeared around Christmas IIRC).
Where oh where will I be able to get a cup of coffee now?
It's seasonal -- I thought it would be back in the spring...
There are SO many coffee shops now, but most are insanely priced and serve burnt tasting coffee.
I just go to Ray's for my coffee.
I didn't even realize it was there. I use the CVS & walk-by the salad-thingy often but never noticed it. But then I own a coffee maker & buy my coffee beans at Porto Rico Trading.
I refuse to patronize Starbucks instead. F their overpriced products.
As a Seattle transplant and shameless snob I’ll be the first to say that Hi Collar and Ninth Street Espresso are the only two spots in the EV serving good coffee
Le Phin on 10th St is great, too!
so generic never even really noticed it despite walking there all the time.
Yes! I like Le Phin too... I was trying to keep the places mentioned to within a few blocks of Bluestone and on 3rd Ave., 4th Ave. and Broadway to avoid trying to mention every EV coffee shop...
Porto Rico Trading phenomenal neighborhood treasure. But if I want stupid expensive takeout excellence, Coffee Project on 5th is the absolute best. They have that reverse infusion tower thingy that makes it worth the price.
