This is a tiny coffee shop near the Mass General Hospital and the Whole Foods in Beacon Hill. Most people come in to grab a drink to go...but there are about 10 seats for those wanting to stay. The barista was really nice and friendly and the staff was very professional as well. The latte was rich and aromatic. Not a bad place to get a coffee. read more

It's good for a quick coffee pick-up before work, but I'm not entirely sure I'd return again. The coffee was fairly decent & reasonably priced. My drink was a bit sweeter than I would like, but it was still good overall. I'm not really a fan of the ambiance. The baristas were kind, but I felt a bit uncomfortable & unwanted at the establishment. I intended to do a little work while sipping on coffee, but I felt like I was invading the space, so I ended up leaving after an hour because I was so uncomfortable. People came in and out to "do work" and would awkwardly leave after 30 minutes because the establishment didn't have accessible internet to customers. It's pretty clear this isn't really a "study spot" if that's what you're looking for. It's really more of an "on-the-go" vibe. read more

Stopped in for pistachio latte and unfortunately had a frustrating experience. The woman at the cashier spent an excessive amount of time chatting with a young couple ahead of me; asking a long stream of personal questions about his breakfast and even how eggs were cooked. Gordon Ramsey style or not?!? It felt intrusive and unnecessary, especially since they were clearly just trying to order and move on. Meanwhile, left waiting, completely ignored. It came across as inconsiderate and unprofessional, as if other customers didn't matter at that point. A friendly atmosphere is great, but there's a line between being welcoming and holding up service with overly personal conversation. This crossed it. read more

Racist staff. Definitely were treated poorly compared to the white people after us. Workers need to be educated on being kind to everyone. Cost nothing to be nice and we tipped generously despite our treatment. read more

This is the first time I'm trying a matcha drink from Blank Street, and I'm very happy to say that it was delicious. The matcha flavor was spot on: slightly bitter, just a hint of sweetness and a great amount of creaminess. We went to this cafe in the late afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. They have a few locations around downtown but this location seems to not be as busy as others. Im actually excited to try more of their drinks next time! read more

Cozy coffee spot in Beacon Hill. The staff are so cheery and sweet, and the lattes are beautiful. I got a small matcha latte ($4.75) and it was great - just pure unsweetened matcha, my favorite :) Not a ton of seating inside, more grab-and-go esque. There are tons of tasty looking pastries and breakfast items on display too :) read more

Blank Street - Small Matcha Latte ($4.75) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Blank street is popular for a reason, their matcha flavors are unique and absolutely delish! I will say, their matcha is more on the sweet side and I'm not the biggest fan of their original flavor. But we got the daydream and banana bread and they were both great! Although the daydream is their best seller, I honestly prefer the subtlety of the banana bread because the daydream had lots of cinnamon which honestly overpowered the matcha flavor and tasted more like horchata than anything. Their drinks are definitely on the pricey side but always worth it at least for me when I'm craving their blueberry or banana bread matchas which are hard to find anywhere else. At this location, it wasn't too crowded and the service was pretty quick. There's a good amount of seating for the small size of the cafe. When there's not too many people, blank street tends to have good, chic vibes, but I usually like to take my drinks to go. As for the food, I'd recommend the egg white sandwich: it's like a fresher tasting starbucks wrap! read more

I look forward to my weekly Blank St because the coffee is always so good (popular orders are: iced daydream latte with almond milk and a triple shot; iced mocha with almond milk and a triple shot). HOWEVER, I also love going to Blank St, especially the one on Cambridge St because the service is even better!! Naomi and Maya are hilarious, my morning coffee always hits just right, and the vibes are it. Love, love, love! read more

The matcha itself is decent, but the drink tastes weirdly watery. The balance of flavors in the strawberry matcha definitely needs more work. The strawberry flavoring tastes sort of artificial, very similar to the strawberry milk from milk cartons. Overall okay drink, with a boost to its refreshing quality on a hot summer day. The wait is on the longer side, but this seems to be due to the place's popularity. Very bright inside, maybe a bit too loud with high traffic to be a good study spot, but good for a quick coffee run or catch up chat with friends. read more

I love this covering new Matcha places around and I happen to work in Boston and saw that this coffee shop has been popping up everywhere. I decided to try the Matcha drinks and it was so good. They were pretty quick to, but I don't think I went there in a rush hour so it wasn't really super busy. I also downloaded the app so my second visit. I just ordered head to make it easier and that way I know that when I get there, the drinks are already ready Which is pretty convenient since I usually don't go to break and knowing that I can just order ahead on the app makes the difference. I'll definitely come back next time to try more drinks. read more

This spot has been on my list for awhile and I was a little disappointed in one of the drinks. Daydream Latte - one of their new lattes. It was a solid latte because I love cinnamon and vanilla! Pistachio Latte - I got it less sweet because the barista told me these drinks can be on the sweeter side. The sweetness level was perfect but the pistachio tasted very artificial. I was super excited for this drink because it's one of their signatures so was a bit disappointed. read more

This was the very best coffee I had in Boston! Delicious latte with half and half and honey!

An updated review now that I have tried a couple more of their drinks. I still LOVE their iced pistachio latte (10/10 recommend if you like pistachio). I really enjoy their matcha. Most of my visits, I usually get the blueberry matcha, sometimes white chocolate matcha, and occasionally a regular iced matcha with honey! The matcha has great flavor & they use ceremonial grade. I tried the cherry cold brew latte but I honestly wasn't the biggest fan. If you like cherry flavored drinks you may like this drink more. Today, I tried one of their new summer drinks: Iced Daydream latte with a single shot + cinnamon. It's like cinnamon toast crunch, in coffee form. I love that they continue to keep their menu interesting every time the season changes. This summer they have yuzu, passion fruit, & watermelon flavors for matcha! read more

This is a fantastic Blank Street location - great Matcha and it came out in a timely manner despite being full. The Oreo matcha is really good. They should bring back the PB&J flavor - that was awesome!!!!!!!! read more

Cambridge street location is our go to stop on the way into work. Being around the corner, glad it's a consistent coffee shop in the area! My go to is blueberry matcha latte iced. Has the right balance of earthiness without being too bitter with the matcha and a nice hit of blueberry with oatmilk. Service usually pretty quick, the staff is always pleasant even during big rushes (i.e. lunch hour). It's a small shop but has portable AC unit blasting on hot days. Will always be back read more

solid but you can't really taste the matcha whenever i get matcha from anywhere i do whole milk and no sweetener, but this probably would've been better with it the worker that took my order complimented me and it made my day LOL read more

Really nice cafe to stop by if you're passing the area! This chain has some delicious treats and drinks available, and I always have a great experience with the staff. My go-to is the almond croissant, the perfect breakfast treat to pair with a coffee. They have a couple of tables, not too much space so I wouldn't recommend expecting to find a seat unless you go during off hours. read more

We usually get iced matchas but opted out for hot matchas today because it was cold out. Couldn't really taste the blueberry in the matcha. Strawberry shortcake was much better and could taste the subtle notes of strawberry. Matcha flavor was subtle, but there and not too bitter. I think they're more known for their iced matcha so wish I had tried that instead. read more

4.5* Tried the seasonal pumpkin latte- One of us got hot, the other got iced, both with whole milk. Neither are overly sweet, but even though they're technically the same drink, the hot one had a "hint of burnt". Not bad, just a bit strange. The small iced is a LOT bigger than a small hot. More worth the money. read more

Food: This drink (the Watermelon Matcha Spritz) was super refreshing on a 90 something degree day! I love matcha, I love seltzer, I love Yuzu, and this was super good! Perfect way to end my day and satisfy my matcha craving. Service: The drink was so fast, I came here on a Sunday evening and I enjoyed how there wasn't that many people. Ambiance: It's in a great location of town! There is much to do around here. The barista (Chloe) was super nice as well. read more

This is my new go to for all matcha related drinks. Yes, I recognize this is not "authentic" matcha in the sense that it probably is not real grounded and fermented green tea leaves, but it certainly hits the spot during a busy morning at work. The service is excellent here as the workers are efficient and kind. The ambience is as expected for a coffee shop. There aren't many seats and tables, but that's OK because it is a small store. Their breakfast item such as the bacon egg and cheese is also pretty good! read more

Was shopping in the area and thought it was a cute shop to stop by for coffee. Matcha Latte: Straight milk and no matcha. Didn't see this until after I ordered but they use a matcha "concentrate" (if you can even call it that), which looks like probably matcha tea in a squeeze bottle. Shaken Chai Cold Brew: Once again, straight coffee and no chai taste. A little disappointing considering they classified it as "small batch Marsala chai". Despite the drinks being terrible, the worse part was the service. The barista just tossed someone's drink on the table and it ended up spilling on me. All I could get was a blank stare. The baristas coworkers had to end up saying sorry for her and she just went back as if nothing happened. Honestly cannot recommend this place. Terrible drinks and you cannot guarantee you won't get coffee spilled on you. read more

Cute new coffee spot in the beacon hill area! I stopped by on a Friday morning and the line wasn't too long yet. They have all the standard cafe offerings with a few special summer drinks like the strawberries and cream latte. They also have milk modifications like almond and oat for an added charge. I got a big iced strawberries and cream latte ($5.25) with oat milk (+$0.75) and an almond croissant ($4.5). I wished the latte was pink as pictured in their ads but it still had a really nice strawberry flavor! It was not too sweet even though the strawberry flavor was strong. I've been on the hunt for a good almond croissant recently and the one here was very satisfying. The dough is flaky and chewy with a really nice bready aroma to it. I like that the filling is a little chunky with bits of almond pieces that add texture. I tried downloading their app but I don't think the app is super accurate because it says that none of their pastries are available which wasn't true when I visited. The indoor space is quite small and while there's some seating it still feels more like a grab and go type of place. read more

No wifi , that's the brand. Customer service okay. Baristas we're loudly talking about things they do/Don't like about blank street. Got the drip coffee, didn't taste spectacular. Had an earthy sweet Taste. Not a good place for sit downs or meetings, very grab and go. read more

Good: the coffee was tasty and they had a variety of options. Not as good: the barista was cold and was speaking on the phone the whole time I was ordering. Also, the space was a little dirty. Probably better during early hours. Good coffee though! read more

was shipping in the area and needed a little coffee break when we happened to stumble upon blank street. I ordered their rose chai latte which happen to be one of their specialty drinks. I didn't taste too much of the rose syrup, so this just tasted like a classic chair tea latte to me. there's not much seating at this location, just a few seats by their windows, but there were people doing work and chatting with friends. the service was great, the baristas were very patient and kind with us as it was our first time. read more

Dropped into Blank Street for a quick snack on a Saturday afternoon. The latte was hot and perfect for me - I asked for a vanilla latte so perfect amount of sweetness. And the perfect treat to go with your coffee is always a croissant! They have a few tables here if you want to sit down, but it is a very small location so I just took my coffee and croissant to go. There were only two or three people in front and behind me, but service wasn't slow at all. I would come again for my coffee and croissant fix. read more

A chic spot for a quick grab and go coffee. They have a section on the menu that serves special drinks tailored to the season. My friend had the Mike's Hot Honey Latte and it was surprisingly pleasant and she would order it again. I had a Mocha which I did not think was any special. The barista was friendly and explained to us of some specialty drinks on the menu. Although the atmosphere is nice, but there is limited seating and hard to find a spot cause most people spend time there to do work when we went. read more

The lady who was opening the place was not prepared and did not open til after 6:30. When she opened there was a line, the chairs were not put out. My coffee was not correct did not have any pistachio syrup in it. Very rushed, not professional read more

A smaller coffee spot in the center of town, this coffee shop has a lot of potential but poorly executed on this visit. When you enter you see a single register to order mirrored by a single barista station. Adjacent you have seating alone the outer wall of windows looking out, three sets of three high-top stools. It's kind of tight so not a gathering place. I order two simple coffees, one americano black and one candy cane hot, which I assumed was like a peppermint mocha. There was no taste to the candy cane coffee and she stated her Americano was very good either. I'm all about helping the little shops but if you can't make simple coffee such as these you don't stand much chance against the likes of DD or the Bucks. Do better! read more

I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Kind of fancy, but doesn't live up to its image or prices. I ordered a double espresso with a splash of steamed oat milk. The espresso was notably bitter with an over-the-top amount of acidity and a fruity flavor profile. Altogether, it's barely drinkable. As for their food, there was a limited selection of both sweet and savory pastries, all around $5 each. There was only one vegan option, which was a mushroom flatbread (not something that's universally appealing) and no gluten free options. I am not sure if this is normal, but they charged $1.75 extra for the splash of steamed oat milk that they added (at other shops I've not been charged). I will not be coming here again, but will be heading right down the street to either Starbucks (yes, a huge chain would be better) or the reigning coffee shop champ, Blackbird Coffee, where the vibes are just right. read more

Absolutely Horrible Experience, ordered a simple Hot Matcha Latte with almond milk and the barista gave me a matcha latte with pistachio syrup and I politely told him that it wasn't what I ordered and the barista rolled his eyes and said "well i'm just gonna throw it away then" in an extremely sassy and rude tone. I then said I can just give it to someone and so I gave it to someone in the cafe that might've wanted it and waited for the order to be remade. Then the barista called out my name again and said that it was ready and I walk out the cafe and took a sip of my "matcha latte with almond milk" and it's a REGULAR COFFEE. I was so upset because I dealt with the attitude of the barista and was being so patient and polite and all I got was the WRONG order and I spent MY OWN MONEY on something that wasn't even the right order that I PAYED FOR. The barista needs to be fired immediately. The barista was a white male that probably weighed over 200 pounds with brown hair and EXTREME ATTITUDE. The cashier was very polite but the barista purposely had to ruin the experience. Thanks for the waste of money do NOT go here if you want to waste your money and get the wrong order and deal with sassy baristas that can't even do their job right. So disappointed. read more
