Blank Street Coffee — Restaurant in New York

Sipping my perfect pistachio latte while writing this… Where do I even start?! Darren, Clover and the whole blank street team at this location are truly such special people and the most amazing baristas ever. They have incredible energy that uplifts you the second you walk through the door, they make friends with the regular customers and coming in every day is truly the highlight of my day. You can tell when people love their job! They memorized my order, remembered little details about me and they all work together so well. Darren is leaving to serve our country soon and I need blank street to hire him in corporate as soon as he’s back, he is everything any great organization would need in an employee.

On top of their amazing personalities, they make the most perfect coffee ever (and I’m picky!) they are such a testament to the Blank Street culture and I truly hope someone sees this and gives them a raise because they really...

I come here multiple times a week for my morning matcha latte & banana bread fix. The matcha lattes are consistently good + heavier in the matcha; no one wants to pay a pretty penny for a milky matcha latte. 😅 I'm hard pressed to think of a bad matcha latte from this location...it's just impossible, ha!

The staff is incredibly kind & always remember my name, which is wonderful in such a highly-trafficked midtown location full of many fellow office workers vying for their daily caffeine. It definitely makes me feel welcomed!

Above all, the price is right. Where many places have higher prices for matcha lattes (which given our economy + high rents, I totally understand!) it's nice to get a 16 oz. matcha latte for less than $5.

I love this location + it's well worth stopping by if you live, work, or commute through...

The drink was delicious as always, but the service left me disappointed. I had a free drink voucher, and when placing my order I accidentally said “strawberries and cream matcha” instead of “strawberry shortcake matcha.” The barista responded in a very rude tone “strawberries and cream doesn’t exist”, so I quickly corrected myself. They groaned, quoted the price, and when I mentioned my free drink voucher, they abruptly canceled the order and told me I needed to say that before ordering—again in a rude manner. The entire exchange lasted less than 30 seconds, but it felt unnecessarily unpleasant. I understand I made a small mistake, but the level of hostility was surprising and made the experience...
