Blank Street Coffee New York Reviews
The best coffee I’ve had in a very long time, a beautiful, quaint, minimalistic coffee shop. I went for the pistachio latte, this was the strongest, most bittersweet coffee I’ve ever had, can’t wait to go back and try what else they have on offer. Highly recommend
Blondie matcha is amazing!! Scrape your straw down the side to get a little chunk of cookie butter in your straw and sip for a delightful burst of extra flavor!!
This is my favorite spot for my go-to matcha, every morning for work. Staff is kind, and the quality of matcha is really good. Encouraged my whole department to try it!
Crazy winter storm we are having in New York but before staying inside I headed to Blank Street and what incredible customer service. not only were the coffees phenomenal as always. But since they were closing at 10 am due to the snow the employees didn’t want to throw away the goods so they packed us up some for the road. What an incredible place will be back as soon as the snow subsides!
Banana Bread Latte was AMAZING. Finished it in 2 seconds because it was so good!!!! Super busy in here though at all times so prepare to wait and take your drink to-go because seating is limited
This was awesome Joelle and Vivianne were the sweetest ever and made the best matcha!!! The blind or matcha was Perftastic and the earl grey one was stupendous!!! Great vibes and great matcha I love New York I am so happy!!! Merry Christmas!!!
I was having difficulty choosing between the earl grey matcha and the Blondie matcha, and David gave a great recommendation. Ended up getting both, and enjoyed both. Great service here!
This is my FAVVV location they make the drinks so good! Praise is so kind and always makes time to talk to us! The other employees are also so sweet this is my favorite Blank Street!
Customer service was awesome! Kim was super helpful and answered all our questions about the drinks.the other barista (didn’t catch her name) was also so pleasant and thoroughly explained the drinks as well. Very nice crew of workers, got the cookie and crème matcha and it was great!
Employees here were so nice(Kim & David) and I forgot to order an extra shot of matcha in my drink like I normally do and they fixed it for me for free which was so kind! This location has seating which is nice and when I went on a Saturday afternoon it wasn’t busy so I was able to sit and work.
Was in the neighborhood for an appointment and saw this cute cafe. Lots of people walking in and getting coffee to go but seating area was empty so I decided to go in to wait until my appointment. Best decision I made today. It's a lovely spot to grab coffee and a pastry. Cafe is clean, quiet and feels spacious. This would be a great spot also to do work on your computer. Coffee was good although I wished it was hotter (temperature wise). The chocolate croissant I got was delicious. It was flaky, buttery and chocolatey. Perfect with the coffee. The cafe is also did friendly as evident by the doggy treats by the counter. If I'm ever inn the neighborhood again definitely will make a point to stop by.
Great place to get non-big chain coffee in midtown. Pretty small shop primarily set up to for to go orders. The staff is friendly and fast. Coffee tastes really great, not over roasted. It gets very busy during the week from office workers, weekends are pretty dead. If you're looking for good coffee in the area this is it.
I found this location after I attended an appointment I had around the area. Thought I could get breakfast and coffee, and life is good. I went to order from the menu and requested if I could have the sandwich without bacon, and they told me they couldn't because everything is pre-made. They simply heat up a pre-made sandwich. They also make natural juices. I feel they need to focus on the juices and not food, if it pre-made stuff.
Horrible service. I am a regular customer for Blank street. This location waiters are so rude. I ordered a blueberry matcha, my order came after 20 minutes. And instead of matcha it was a latte. When I confronted the barista they said let us remake it and you picked the wrong order. How can it be the wrong order with my name on it. Then he took another 20 minutes to make the next one which had no blueberry syrup in the matcha. It’s a hot matcha with no blueberry syrup and when I asked them he was rude and dismissed it. I spoke to the manager or I’m not sure who she was and she was absolutely rude and refused to take responsibility and compensate me for my wasted 30 minutes and me walking out without a drink. And when I told them I will write a review and need their names they were not ready to give me their names because they knew they were wrong. AVOID this location at all cost cos they mess up your drinks and then don’t apologize and waste your time. They lost a regular client and blank street left a bad taste in my mouth.
