    Blank Street Coffee - UWS On 86th & Bway
    Ingrid P.

    Originally designed for the Gen-Z population, that now has spread across the globe; like London. The founders Vinay Menda and Issam Freiha, "in 2020 despite launching during the pandemic, they quickly adapted to the changing landscape, setting up shop and connecting with a community eager for something new and different. Their timing was impeccable, and their approach was even better. Here's the scoop: Gen Z want an experience, a vibe, and something that feels authentically theirs. Blank Street understood this from the get-go. Their brand is a connected framework of sleek design, strategic partnerships, and an omnipresent digital voice that hits all the right notes." Blank Street Coffee has taped into the temperature of the culture demand, was bold enough and definitely not afraid of the Giant in the streets. For me, it's the most delicious tasting Iced Pistachio Matcha Latte & Iced Mocha Latte I've EVER tasted. I'm also a morning person and it's great to walk in a coffee shop, especially in NYC and there is no line. Can I get an AMEN‼ ;O)

    Espresso Martini Latte

    I have tried 2 of coffees: Espresso Martini and the Blondie. Both were good but Blondie was my fave nice and smooth and a little hint of sweetness. The 3rd was the strawberry shortcake matcha was soo good too. Their matcha taste way better than Starbucks. I have yet to come across a rude worker at blank street and their shops are always bustling

    Strawberry Shortcake Matcha

    I don't know if I'm used to matchas in LA, but the strawberry shortcake matcha and cookies and cream matcha here was well loved online, but fell short of my expectations. There was an artificial flavoring from the sweetener that honestly ruined the drink for me, it tasted more like artificial vanilla syrup than matcha. I'd maybe come back one more time to get a regular matcha and see if it tastes better, but overall was not the best experience.

    Wanted a matcha and picked the perfect place! I ordered the Taurus one, I believe it was called something with "dream." First sip and I was in heaven. Can't wait to try others.

    Iced Strawberry Shortcake Matcha

    First time trying blank street coffee and I am so impressed! It was delicious! I loveeeeee strawberry shortcake... if I have one negative it's that it's a little too milky but otherwise a must have!

    Pistachio Latte

    Solid local chain. I love that they are dog friendly. The pistachio latte is my go to. I wish they would bring back the King David Breakfast Tacos but they do have some savory and sweet food options.

    Doggie rush hour! This is a very dog friendly establishment and there were certainly a lot of dogs. There's a bowl of water outside and free dog treats inside. Plus free poop bags. Most of the dogs were well behaved and the one that kept barking was silenced when eating the free treats. There's a surprising amount of seating in such a small footprint. There's two tables outside, four tables inside, and two chairs without tables. There are AC plugs under the banquette seating. But no wi-fi which is unfortunate. But there's a free LinkNYC connection you can use so that works out in the end. It's a bit loud when it gets busy (plus a very loud door) so bring some headphones. But like every nearby coffee shop there's no restroom. It's a trend that I deeply dislike but since it's a new NYC thing there's no getting around it. Finally the coffee... it's pretty good. I ordered the Pistachio Latte. There are two sizes, small and big. The big wasn't very big for 5 and change but it was hot and tasty. Didn't taste much like pistachios either but was good nonetheless. Since they got rid of the seating in the nearby Starbucks I've been looking for a good replacement and this might be it.

    Finally made it uptown to The Hungarian Pastry Shop. The block is actually quaint and across the…read morestreet from St. John's Cathedral. Got there around 1 PM on a weekday, they were just starting to run out with some items. The pastries were very fresh & delicious in a comforting way. Got a Cardamom Bun (mild flavor, with light layer of apricot jam in the layers) & the Sacher Torte (Excellent! Austrian hazelnut flour torte, raspberry jam). I'm not familiar with a lot of the items & wish they were labeled. Would have ordered more. The cafe was *very crowded & kind of loud. The ambiance didn't seem enjoyable compared to the calm UWS streets. The outdoor tables looked calmer even though a short line blocked the front of it. There's only a line because the counter is close to the front door and little space to wait. The 2-3 counter staff was very nice & patiently answered questions (labeled & priced pastries - with ingredients/nut disclaimer still would have helped & move the line along) . Took the treats to the community garden on the corner. Keep exploring NYC y'all!

    Yummmmmmmm. Spinach…read morefeta pastry. Perfectly hefty amount of spinach with flaky dough. Hit the spot. Cherry danish. The bread itself was soft and pillowy and the cherrys were sweet and tart. Baklava. Stacked TALL. Not many layers but each nut layer was 1inch thick. If you're looking for crispy multi layered baklava, this ain't it. If you're looking for nutty goodness, this is. Did takeout, so can't say for ambiance or service. Lots of tables free at 9 on a Sunday but the line was out the door.
