Blank Street
1380 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Blank Street Coffee in Harvard Square has earned its reputation as the destination for matcha lovers, with their signature Daydream and seasonal creations (like the carrot cake variation) drawing consistent crowds. This is a lively grab-and-go spot perfect for quick morning runs despite the predictable queues, where their matcha drinks shine brightest—skip the experimental flavors and stick with their perfected classics. The fast, friendly service and creative offerings like the pistachio matcha and strawberry shortcake matcha make it worth the wait, especially if you're in the area.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot.
