Two exciting new foodie friendly spots have just opened in The Woodlands. One is an Australian coffee house called Bluestone Lane and the other is laidback Houston restaurant favorite Local Table.

The food and drink scene in the Township continues to grow and grow. Here’s the lowdown on these new spots and more new Woodlands restaurant openings to look forward to soon.

Bluestone Lane

1900 Lake Woodlands Drive
Status: Open

Bluestone Lane is bringing exceptional coffee and great vibes to The Woodlands. This is the Aussie coffee masters’ fourth shop in the greater Houston area and it’s all about serving up premium whole bean coffee and wholesome eats.

Nick Stone, originally from Melbourne, Australia, is Bluestone Lane’s founder and CEO. His vision? To modernize coffee culture in the United States, offering a cozy coffee shop experience that allows customers to connect and relax in a beautiful setting.

“We are excited to continue to grow our community in Houston, and are thankful for the continual support from our locals,” Stone says.

Bluestone’s menu is centered around starting the day off right. Whenever that happens to be for you. Pop in for ‘Brekkie’ anytime. It is served all day. You can choose from a selection of delicious, calorie-conscious options, including protein milkshakes, the athlete’s burrito and the soft chili scramble.

Local Table

A favorite in several Houston suburbs, Local Table has now opened its fifth restaurant location in The Woodlands. Coming from the family-owned hospitality group called Eat Local Concepts, this new Woodlands restaurant offers an impressive variety of dishes made from scratch, including wood-stone pizza, plant-based options and Mediterranean-inspired creations.

Don’t miss Local Table’s weekend brunch. There are traditional breakfast dishes available, of course. But you can turn it into a boozy brunch, with cocktails such as a spicy pineapple margaritas and mimosas.
