Blank Street
455 Harvard St, Brookline, MA
Crema's Take
“Blank Street in Coolidge Corner has earned devoted regulars who rave about the staff's consistently warm interactions and creative matcha program that goes beyond the basics—think seasonal surprises like carrot cake and Earl Grey matcha alongside their solid traditional espresso drinks. The bright, open space with ample seating and bathrooms makes it genuinely laptop-friendly and conducive to lingering, whether you're grabbing a Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte with an almond croissant or settling in for a longer stay. While the $6 price point might seem steep compared to nearby Dunkin', customers find the quality and creativity justify the investment, though service consistency can be spotty during busy times.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I was extremely skeptical at first, $6 dollar drinks down the road from a Dunkin???? Who do you think you are!! But after giving in and trying it a few times, I can safely say they’ve won me over. The drinks are quite unique, and, while a bit pricier, they definitely are worth…
Love Blank Street! Their matcha is always incredible! I have really loved their seasonal matches, including the carrot cake matcha (fall) and Earl Grey matcha (winter). The strawberry shortcake matcha is a classic along with the daydream matcha! Those are year round classics…
The coffee and cappuccino tasted good, but the place was severely understaffed. There weren’t enough people to keep it clean—there was trash on the floor everywhere. They also ran out of ingredients early, like matcha. It could’ve been a better spot, but it wasn’t the quiet,…
