Really good cortado. My wife also liked the Chai latte.
Coffee here is good and reasonable with price. I was visiting here because it looks cute and that attractive to me to get in. The green tea latte here was so so, but their latte is good!
Delicious
this place is the bees knees!
Staff was super friendly, grabbed an iced chai and it was good!
Great coffee and cool spot. Sure beats Starbucks or Dunks. Good prices too
Coffee is good but sadly the cafe closes by 4pm on weekdays and earlier on some days. I wish it was open longer because usually my work get over by 4-5pm and I can go out for coffee after. Been meaning to try some iced drinks but its always closes when I want to go :(
Wish I had the opportunity to try this fairly priced coffee. Unfortunately they do not have a protocol for serving customers with nut allergies. I asked the order a steamed drink and was informed that they don't have a separate steamer for nut based beverages. In fact they don't even have a separate steaming cup 😑 They said that they could give me an iced drink. But come on this is Boston in the winter... Tldr: don't come here if you have allergies. They lack the protocols and knowledge to deal with them.
Superior to Starbucks and slightly less expensive. My drink is always ready quickly when I order through the app, and the quality is consistent. Other coffee options near MGH are dreadful in comparison. Also, I enjoy the sterility and efficiency of the space/employees.
They ran out of skim milk and had no Splenda to give. What gives. Coffee was ok. Will try again.
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 normally don't write huge reviews but this one was worthy of one today. I think union square donuts has a run for their money with this iced mocha ( union sq is normally my go to for my coffee) .
Ordered the pumpkin spiced latte and it was ok. The serving size looked small, but it could just be the look of the cup; however it felt lighter than some other competitors. My wife seems to enjoy the coffee here, otherwise this place wouldn't do it for me. Also, difficult to access if in a wheelchair or with a walking disability due to a few steps to enter the shop. If you want to explore a coffee shop, give it a chance..... Otherwise, stick to your regular small or large chained place.
I’m always skeptical when NY based companies come to BOS. Huge difference in the atmosphere and people who come which is sort of a big deal for me personally. Wish their espresso machine was more manually operated instead of pushing a button to pull shots of espresso. While the price is cheaper compared to a lot of other local shops, I think the quality is of course slightly lower as well. Would bet the iced/cold brews are better than the hot drinks.
Both coffee and matcha lattes were WAY too heavy on the milk on multiple occasions.
Giving a five star review because I like the cold brew and will be going back probably tomorrow, but the almond croissant was a disgrace. No filling??? Jail! Update: I got another almond croissant weeks later and it did in fact have filling. Sorry for the slander! I don’t even believe in jail!
Really great coffee shop! Their espresso drinks are elevated & at a very fair price.
This place is soooo great. FAST, DELICIOUS, AFFORDABLE. Who does that? There is plenty of fast cheap and bad, but this is actually really yummy. Great staff, great location, good vibes.
I originally knew of Blank Street because it was one of my go-to’s in New York, and was shocked (and stoked!) when one popped up round the corner from my house! Everyone is so kind and it’s nice having a proper coffee shop in the neighborhood that you can just walk in easily and quickly and get a good cup of anything. Pastries are good too - I think from a local spot in Salem. They straightened out the loyalty program and I am sure ready to earn a ton of points! Great spot overall.
First off, I personally found the coffee to be one star, but I'm leaving three for the fact that the service was good and people have different taste for coffee. I had a cold brew iced coffee. This was a bit of a stretch for me, cold brew is often to mild or subtle, and I prefer some distinct coffee bitterness to remain. May I suggest, Blank Street, offering a more standard iced coffee. One that is hot brewed then iced. I know I'm not alone in disliking cold brew and not flavoring espresso drinks. Additionally, hot brewed iced coffee returns a greater yield for the same input. Anyway, rant over. I threw my cup I'm the trash as it was unpalatable, but if you like sweet coffee that is more chocolatey than coffee, this may be for you.
I would quite literally bathe in this coffee/cold brew. Dangerous
