Bluestone Lane Children's Museum Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Washington

Bluestone Lane offered such a cheerful afternoon pick-me up after a draining day at the museum with my daughter - we were greeted by the hilarious and hospitable Benji, who made a fantastic recommendation of the Berry Brekkie smoothie. My daughter LOVED this smoothie and has been talking about it constantly since our visit.

Barista Ali brewed me the PERFECT decaf capucchino - I usually think decaf coffee tastes burnt but this had a wonderful taste and texture to the milk. I loved the cocoa powder on top.

Was informed about 5-10 minutes after placing the order that they were out of blueberries and bananas. Had to alter order as a result although that wasn’t an issue or problem for us. Unfortunately, waited about another 25 minutes for our food because of a lack of staff. Our order wasn’t complex: grilled cheese, nut butter toast, yogurt cup, smoothie, but the flavors and taste didn’t make it worth the wait. Also, I have mixed feelings about the menu. I’m all for healthful selections, but thought the choices inadequate if wanting to feed your family lunch. Upside to all of this? The staff was wonderful and responded calmly and professionally, especially the young woman at...
