Blank Street — Restaurant in Boston

Thanks to the pandemic and post pandemic life the days of finding a great coffee shop with good coffee seem to be in the rearview...that is until I tried Blank Street Coffee via DoorDash one day. I live in Inman Sq in East Cambridge for those who are not entirely familiar with the lay out of the city... Blank Street Coffee is in between the West end and Beacon Hill, straight across Longfellow bridge..so it's a bit of drive especially with traffic in the early morning commute. Working successfully from home depends on the recommended daily dose of caffeine and a good playlist.. to which I was lacking the first. I didn't even check where Blank Street was before I pushed the order button for an iced mocha with almond milk.. there's not much I love more in this world than a really good creamy without the cream chocolatey iced mocha, ask my husband he can vouche for that. Not only did they secure my iced coffee so it didn't spill in transport, but they made it absolutely perfect! It doesn't taste like burnt espresso or overload of almond milk and they didn't fill the cup entirely with ice either which is always nice.

I have been a regular at Blank Street for just shy of a year, and have absolutely loved this coffee shop. Every drink I have gotten has been consistently delicious and their rotating menu and season items ensures there is always something new to try. However, the real reason I keep coming back are the outstanding baristas. Sam has been a leader at the Cambridge St location - I often see her training newer hires, working long hours, and working flawlessly with everyone to provide the best experience for the customers. Sam is personable, professional, and has an overall positive attitude everyday. With baristas like Sam behind the counter, Blank Street will continue to grow their customer base and build their reputation in Boston! Thank you for...
