Blank Street Coffee - London

Step inside Blank Street Coffee on Old Broad Street, and you’re greeted by a quiet hum of purposeful energy—a spot that feels at once inviting and efficiently alive. This is a place where the city’s brisk rhythm softens just enough for a moment of calm, yet the pace never slows down too much. Whether it’s the after-work crowd catching a quick cup or a solo visitor settling in with a book, the atmosphere strikes a warm balance between intimacy and motion.

The team moves with practiced ease, crafting each drink not just as a routine, but with a kind of care that turns coffee into a subtle daily ritual. You might find yourself drawn to the smooth chill of a cold brew latte or comforted by the gentle richness of their matcha — known locally as one of the best, highlighted by nuanced flavors and delicate textures that reveal themselves sip by sip.

Beyond the drinks, there’s a quietly joyful attention to detail: a freshly baked banana bread accompanying your coffee, a small flourish of latte art, or even a friendly nod from the baristas who seem genuinely delighted to share this space with you. It is this human touch—the smiles, the swift service without haste—that quietly shapes your visit, allowing you to feel both seen and soothed.

Blank Street Coffee is not about grand gestures or over-the-top presentations. Instead, it’s a thoughtful city refuge where the simple pleasures of great coffee, easy conversations, and fleeting moments of relaxation come together naturally. Whether you’re chasing a caffeine fix or simply carving out a pause in your day, this café offers a quietly consistent experience that welcomes you back with open arms every time.
