Blank Street Coffee

Blank Street on 91st & Broadway used to be our favorite. My wife and I came here all the time—especially during her pregnancy, when the strawberry shortcake Matcha with extra strawberry sauce was her absolute favorite craving. We were happy to pay extra for it and never had an issue—until today. We were abruptly told by Olivia that a “new policy” prevents them from adding extra sauce, even if we’re willing to pay. When we politely pushed back, she brushed us off and said, “Take it up with Corporate.” No empathy, no effort—just cold dismissal. We used to tell everyone that Blank Street was the best. Now? We won’t be coming back—not to this location, and not to any Blank Street. You didn’t just lose two regulars—you lost loyal advocates. Corporate, I hope you’re listening—this is how you destroy customer trust.

Found my new favorite morning spot! The caramel latte is perfectly balanced, not too sweet but just rich enough. Love their cozy atmosphere & ambiance. Staff remembers my order after just a few visits. Much recommended this amazing coffee place! 10/10.

I really liked this location because there’s space to get work done and a couple do comfortable chairs to sit in as well as a couple window seats. Staff were friendly. I took off one star because they do not have a restroom for customers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing coffee and an even better atmosphere! Amy and Stephanie make every visit special with their warm, welcoming vibe. The coffee is always delicious, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend! Honestly the bacon egg and cheese is worth it cause the bun is potato bread and it’s mwah *chefs kiss* Daydream latte is such an essential drink here and its name matches the vibe for sure. The matcha chocolate cookies here are also so savory.

coffee was bland. got a vanilla iced latte was so watered down, barista said it was a double shot but u could barely taste the weak coffee. was so hyped and got so disappointed. service was mid too they barely were giving anyone attention and it wasnt even busy at all. wont be visiting any other locations. quality so overhyped.

super busy on fridays! this is my first time visiting this location and wow is it busy at 4pm. there was a wait, but the two baristas were very speedy yet welcoming! Stephanie and Eva made a great team. The daydream matcha made my afternoon. Thank you!

Service was good but the way this coffee shop is set up it’s too many rules. Can’t really customize your drink because they don’t have a way to charge for extra white chocolate. The app sucks because again it’s limited options on how you can have your drink made. I hope this is fixed if not I will continue to make my matcha at home or find a local coffee shop.

Aesthetic and matcha? What a combo. A place where you’ll feel comfortable while you sip on your matcha. Perfect size for a coffee shop, and delicious drinks!!

Needed a quick pick me up and headed into blank street coffee on a Saturday afternoon. It wasnt very busy. I decided on the Brown sugar cold brew with almond milk. It was ready rather quickly and tasted really good. Not too sweet and not bitter at all. Would def order again.

Wanted a matcha and picked the perfect place! I ordered the Taurus one, I believe it was called something with "dream." First sip and I was in heaven. Can't wait to try others.

I moved heaven and earth to get here before work for my matcha. Though they should have been open, they were not. I CAME BACK after 9a, still closed. WTAF. I'd love hours like these..

First time trying blank street coffee and I am so impressed! It was delicious! I loveeeeee strawberry shortcake... if I have one negative it's that it's a little too milky but otherwise a must have!

Solid local chain. I love that they are dog friendly. The pistachio latte is my go to. I wish they would bring back the King David Breakfast Tacos but they do have some savory and sweet food options.

Really cute spot. Great coffees and baked goods. Really nice tables, chairs and decor. 2 lounge chairs in the back for a chill-vibe. No bathroom and loud music so not ideal to work but perfect to grab a coffee or chai and run

This has become my little morning tradition before class. I've tried both the matcha and the cappuccino - each has its own charm. The matcha is smooth and gentle, not bitter at all, and the cappuccino feels like a cozy hug to start the day. The baristas are always kind, even when I'm barely awake. It's a warm, welcoming spot that makes mornings feel better!

Doggie rush hour! This is a very dog friendly establishment and there were certainly a lot of dogs. There's a bowl of water outside and free dog treats inside. Plus free poop bags. Most of the dogs were well behaved and the one that kept barking was silenced when eating the free treats. There's a surprising amount of seating in such a small footprint. There's two tables outside, four tables inside, and two chairs without tables. There are AC plugs under the banquette seating. But no wi-fi which is unfortunate. But there's a free LinkNYC connection you can use so that works out in the end. It's a bit loud when it gets busy (plus a very loud door) so bring some headphones. But like every nearby coffee shop there's no restroom. It's a trend that I deeply dislike but since it's a new NYC thing there's no getting around it. Finally the coffee... it's pretty good. I ordered the Pistachio Latte. There are two sizes, small and big. The big wasn't very big for 5 and change but it was hot and tasty. Didn't taste much like pistachios either but was good nonetheless. Since they got rid of the seating in the nearby Starbucks I've been looking for a good replacement and this might be it.

It's okay. I like their strawberries and cream iced latte. They do have good seasonal items, like pumpkin or pistachio. But like...if you're looking to save money or get something clever? Yeah, this ain't it.

Decided to try a new place, and I never used to like matcha but the blueberry Is matcha is delicious #officiallyamatchalover

Matcha latte with almond milk was solid, though small was pretty small! Left my black womens gloves here Sat afternoon and there's no number to call them? Why is there no phone number?? :(

Where Blank Street shines is their specialty syrup flavors in their matchas and cold brew, but that's about it. First off, the ambience is completely devoid of personality. It feels more like a sanitized, sterile hospital cafe than a neighborhood spot to grab a coffee and meet with friends. But my major issue is their business model of automation with their espresso beverages. When you're paying such a high price for a specialty coffee, it should at least be made with the care and technique of a specialty barista, not just the press of a button. As a barista myself, I'm hoping this doesn't represent a trend for greater automation in the coffee industry as a whole.

I went in to pick up a quick cup of coffee on the go, but walked out when the barista decided to insult me as I was about to order. That's a heck of a customer strategy, to be jerks to your customers before you have their money.
