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.
We went for a matcha as this is convenient (across the street) to the MGH campus. The spartan, modern look shows a limited menu of drinks and baked goods. But it's not blank. What they do, they do well! The matcha had an initial flavor of cinnamon with a strong vanilla flavor throughout. The service was quick and polite. If you need to sit, there are some padded seating areas without tables, so no hanging out and working. If you know what you want, this is a good place to get a coffee or matcha.
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.
i ordered the vanilla matcha and it was really good. i liked the matcha flavor and the interior was so cute and aesthetic.
Rudest cashier had an attitude problem with not only customers but with coworkers it seemed. The black woman cashier was just mean and not friendly at all. While we were waiting on our drinks we saw and heard her have an attitude with her co worker and he had to deescalate and tell her everything alright and to stay calm. Be professional, come on. The matcha was good, glad the guy made it and not Ms. Grumpy Pants.
I can totally see why Blank Street has been so hyped up over the past few years. Their iced lemon loaf matcha had just the right amount of sweetness with the almost graham cracker-like spices and tangy lemon curd. The matcha itself was smooth and well-whisked with no clumps. Despite there being a relatively long line, the service was quick! This store was fairly small but had a couple of benches overlooking the barista bar.
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!
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 :)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

I came in here reluctantly, but I very glad I did. The cashier was top-notch, she was very knowledgeable about the drinks offered, the ambiance had a nice green aesthetic to matcha the vibes lol read more
I ordered an iced vanilla latte! I thought that their coffee was great- it was smooth & I loved the sweetness. My friend got an iced cherry glaze matcha & enjoyed it. The cherry flavor is unique but works with the drink! Only thing- it smelt strongly of cigarettes in the shop which was kinda unpleasant. Overall, good coffee & matcha too! 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
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

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

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

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
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
