Church of Heavenly Rest Café Owner verified
1085 5th Ave New York, NY, 10128About
Nestled within the historic Church of the Heavenly Rest along Museum Mile, directly opposite Central Park, the Church's Upper East Side Café is one of our most special locations — operated by Bluestone Lane and beloved by the local community.
In partnership with the Church, we proudly operate the café on behalf of the church as part of this extraordinary community space — welcoming locals, visitors, and parishioners alike throughout the day. On weekends, we also serve coffee alongside Church services, extending the ritual of gathering from café to congregation.
Framed by the Church's original sandstone architecture and vaulted archways, the space offers a calm, light-filled setting that feels both elevated and deeply grounded in its surroundings.
It's a place to pause — whether for a morning coffee, a long brunch, or a quiet moment between walks along Fifth Avenue.
Our menu reflects Bluestone Lane's signature approach to modern café culture — seasonal, produce-driven dishes designed to complement our specialty coffee program.
From Avocado Smash and house-made granola to our much-loved Gluten-Free Banana Bread, the offering is familiar, nourishing, and consistently high quality.
Beyond daytime service, we also collaborate with the Church to host evening and special events — bringing people together through shared experiences, conversation, and community.
With indoor table service and outdoor seating along Fifth Avenue, this is a destination to discover — where café culture meets one of New York's most iconic and historic settings.
