coffee bar Blue Door — Restaurant in Stuart

Coffee Bar Blue Door was opened in 2011 by two attorneys who missed the coffee and wine bars of Miami when they opened their practice in Stuart. They decided to pursue their passion by opening a coffee bar and infuse it with their love of different cultures. Thus Blue Door was created in a cozy building which opens onto a lovely courtyard with trees and plants. The coffee house opens at 7 AM and stays open until at least midnight giving the community of Stuart a place to gather. They serve coffee, wine, and a bistro menu. During the week they host events such as trivia, live music, and movies outside in the courtyard.

I stopped in a rainy afternoon on a trip to Stuart. I had a cup of their strong and foamy cappuccino and a slice of the quiche Lorraine. It was lovely enjoying my snack in the inviting coffee shop as the storm raged on outside. It was a nice respite until the rain soon stopped and it was time to be on my way. Coffee Bar Blue Door is a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of the historic Stuart shopping area. It is well worth seeing out however as it is beloved by locals and...

Went on a walk from work to check out this place because I needed an afternoon pick-me-up. It's super tiny, but has tons of character just like you'd expect. The quality of the iced mocha I purchased was excellent- I could taste the chocolate distinctly - but the lemon basque cake was on a different planet altogether. I think I would go back here just for that! Soft, not too sweet, moist, fresh, and lemony but not too lemony. Perfection. I'm not sure who's baking their goods but they deserve 10 stars. The atmosphere was the only thing I wasn't really into. It was almost too quiet and a bit cliquey. There appeared to be three employees on shift, but only one was taking orders and making things. They were doing a great job, but it felt a bit formal and performative, almost like they were being judged by the other two employees. It's that same sort of feeling you get when you walk into a new classroom and everyone takes a look at you up and down - awkward, but not enough to deter me from getting another lemon cake....

Love this place- like other reviewers mention, the place has a great vibe. Depending on who is working, you can hear great jazz or laid back contemporary music. The expresso/cappuccino/mochas are exceptional. The owners went to Italy and had the espresso machine custom made. Much of the art work and light fixtures are from the owners travels including Morocco, Venice and Japan. There is a really cool door from Morocco that is hung on the wall that has a beautiful design.

The quiche is exceptional- I recommend the asparagus and leek. Oh and the pastries are great too (love the raspberry bar). My wife and I, and our cat Bud B, sit outside. The setting is laid back and the fellow customers are friendly. The crowd is a very eclectic group which adds to the experience.

Update: Enjoyed a wonderful dinner of Shepards pie and Vegan Thai with vegan chicken (which tasted like authentic chicken); both were delicious and nice portions. They also have a very good selection of...
