    Espresso Martini Latte
    Catherine S.

    Have been wanting to try Blank Street coffee for a bit since seeing it on NYC friends' instagrams. Being from SoCal, I was patiently waiting to try this coffee. As soon as I saw the sign, I had to go in. Although a small spot, they make great use of the space and they're able to fit a decent line inside. The staff is very friendly and was able to give recommendations. I ended up getting the espresso martini latte (there's no alcohol). Ooowwee it was a TREAT!! The flavor was so delicious and the hazelnut addition was perfect. It's a good thing. I don't live near a Blank Street because I would go too often.

    Blank street coffee was recommended in some travel vlogs and I saw many people holding matcha lattes from there so I thought to give it a try! The cafe itself was a small space where you mainly just order and pick up your drink, not much space to hang around. It was very crowded and took at least 15 minutes to order. There was a friendly worker at the front, she was sweet and gave me suggestions. I ultimately chose the seasonal banana bread matcha and their seasonal gingersnap latte. The banana bread matcha latte was so awful, the matcha flavor was lacking and the banana bread flavor was also faint. The drink mostly tasted like oat milk. I'm surprised so many people get the matcha here! I'm wondering if its because there aren't any good options in the area. The gingersnap latte wasn't bad, for that I would give it two stars.

    Salted pistachio matcha tastes like... nothing. The bad reviews of this brand were so on point for me. I'm not even gonna try again. Barely any matcha taste and milk is not good at all. Bummer bc I loooove pistachio

    Yummy but a bit sweet! Would recommend getting half sweet. Come before 8:30am weekdays to beat the line. Most ppl appear to do order pickup. Super cute branding and a fun stop for visitors from the West Coast. Not much seating in here, but some tables at the upper level!

    Their sidewalk ad board is an ad for ice cream. It was a boiling hot day. So, we went inside... Waited in a long line, and no air-conditioning, and ordered an ice cream cone on their board. The server said it wasn't "exactly the same." We said, "well, but it comes in a cone, right?" He said, "not exactly, it looks kind of like this." He pointed to a colorful layered drink in a cup. By now, we'd wasted half an hour and agreed. We received a Matcha flavored milk drink... This business doesn't even sell ice cream!?! THE DEAL: if you don't serve ice cream, why is it the only item you advertise on your sidewalk ad board... And why is your slogan "get the scoop?" (See ad board photos)

    We absolutely love blank street!!!! The cookie butter matcha is to die for and I crave it everyday!!!! It's so creamy and delicious but not too sweet. Only downside is the wait and long lines. But the lines do move relatively quickly! Would come here daily if I lived next door!

    Blueberry matcha was exquisite. Perfect sweetness and fruity flavor. It was a quick order to bring on the go. Not much seating but worth the stop!

    The aesthetic of the shop is very nice with ambient decorations and vibes. The cashier was friendly and helpful with offering their recommendations of what drinks they like. The drinks were alright though, nothing mind blowing. Matcha flavor wasn't too strong but not that prominent in the drink.

    Great addition to the Boston Café scene! Personal favorite is their Strawberry Shortcake Matcha :) It has a refreshing balance between the creaminess of the matcha + milk and freshness of the strawberries. The shortcake part tastes as if they added some clear vanilla extract to get that cake flavor. Very yummy. Plain Croissant was okay. Not the flakiest croissant you will ever try, but still decent. Also the shop is small so it gets cramped very easily. The line is usually long but the staff is efficient so the wait isn't too bad.

    Got a vanilla latte at blank street and really enjoyed it. There was quite the wait to get inside because the store is rather small. I went mid afternoon on a weekday and the line took about 30 minutes to stand in so be prepared to wait. The coffee itself was very tasty. They have plenty of speciality drinks that id love to try

    Iced Strawberry Shortcake Matcha
    Trina N.

    The shop is pretty small and often crowded, so don't expect to hang out long or find a seat during peak hours. It's more of a grab-and-go place. I tried the Strawberry Shortcake Matcha after seeing it all over TikTok. The aesthetic is great, but the taste didn't live up to the hype. It was way too sweet and had a really artificial strawberry flavor that overpowered the matcha. However, the Daydream Matcha is delicious. The cinnamon gives it a twist that sets it apart from your usual matcha latte. The staff were friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend the Daydream Matcha over the Strawberry Shortcake Matcha.

    Great service & delicious matcha! Watched a few vlogs and did some yelping. They're known for their matcha here, I think. That's what we all got! It was okay- I love matcha and didn't think it stood out that much. The staff were nice and loved their location. It's a very cute and small spot.

    Sonal H.

    Genuinely one of the best coffee/matcha spots. I absolutely love their seasonal stuff but I'm always sucked for a strawberry matcha. The strawberry shortcake speciality matcha is UNREAL here. I get it half sweet and it's the perfect amount of sweetness for me. The strawberry and Madeline cookie flavor in it is just unreal. Finished my latte within a few minutes. This location is definitely super crowded and busy tho so just know you'll have to wait a little!

Even better was the fact that these drinks were served by someone with a warm spirit and smile.. hard to get great service these days.

When about 2/3 of the group had arrived, we asked if we could be seated. The woman we asked said yes and started putting two tables together. While another woman was bringing chairs over, an angry male server who was not involved at all, suddenly began having an aggressive outburst that made very little sense to us. Even if we didn't fully understand what he was saying, the nonverbal communication was clear enough. Our group felt extremely uncomfortable and disrespected, so we left immediately. I don't know what their internal rules are about seating, but offending customers should not be one of them. Thankfully we were able to salvage the evening elsewhere, but service here could be a challenge, especially for larger groups. I'm fortunate that the cafes in my own neighborhood are always kind and welcoming, which makes them a joy to support. I'd hope Vittoria could do better in the future, but personally, we are unlikely to try them again.
