About the Company

Blank Street

Specialty coffee shop chain with app

Blank Street operates as a specialty coffee brand focused on small, cost-efficient locations and quick, premium service. It sells high-quality coffee and fresh, locally sourced food in cities like New York, London, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Its product works through a combination of carefully sourced specialty coffees, fast preparation from compact carts or shops, and a technology layer (order ahead, customized drinks, schedule orders, and loyalty through the Blank Street app) to streamline purchasing and reward regular customers. The company differentiates itself by running smaller, lower-overhead outlets to cut costs and pass savings to customers and employees while paying baristas above-market wages, and by leveraging tech to enhance convenience and loyalty. Its goal is to redefine the coffee shop experience by combining quality, affordability, and strong customer service at scale across major cities.
