Bluestone Lane has closed on Astor Place

The Bluestone Lane outpost in the Death Star at 51 Astor Place has closed. 

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).

      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 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.
