'Bluestone Lane' Makes Hancock Park Debut, With Coffee, Tea & MorePhoto: Bluestone Lane/Yelp

A new gluten-free breakfast and brunch spot, offering coffee and tea and more, has opened for business in the neighborhood. Called Bluestone Lane, the new addition is located at 176 S. La Brea Ave. in Hancock Park.

This is the latest Southern California location for the rapidly expanding Australian-inspired coffeehouse. It also has outposts throughout New York City and Pennsylvania, with a Washington D.C. location in the works.  

If you're stopping by for something caffeinated, expect to see a variety of espresso mainstays like mochas, lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos. There is also a selection of loose leaf teas on hand, like lemongrass ginger, China sencha and more. 

The shop is also known for its "wellness lattes," with options like matcha, the turmeric-infused "Golden Latte," and a beet latte with almond milk and dehydrated beet powder, then topped with cocoa powder. 

On the food side, healthy Aussie fare includes a selection of toasts, seasonal "wellness bowls," and convenient grab-and-go items. Look for items like avocado toast; a breakfast bowl with red quinoa, feta cheese, and a poached egg; and a bacon and egg roll with spinach, tomato, and house-made chutney. 

Bluestone Lane has proven popular thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp.

James C., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 20th, said, "Bluestone Lane on La Brea has been open for one week. I tried the green eggs and they were delicious, coffee was good too. They have excellent toasts, can't wait to try something else."

And Justine H. said, "This place is awesome! So glad they are in the neighborhood. I had the veggie toasty and my husband had the avocado toast with an egg. Good coffee too."

Bluestone Lane is now open at 176 S La Brea Ave., so stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood.
