Blank Street, a coffee shop that has become a global sensation for its pretty drinks and stylish interiors, will finally open in Leeds for the first time.
Blank Street has built up a loyal following with its iced matcha drinks, with ever-changing seasonal specials and cult favourites like the blueberry matcha and white chocolate matcha.
Us in Leeds have been green with envy (pardon the pun) as Blank Street has expanded to cities around the UK – and now it’s finally our turn.
A planning application has been lodged with Leeds City Council for a new coffee and matcha shop on Albion Street.
Blank Street is set to take over a unit on the corner of Albion Street and Commercial Street that was previously a Starbucks.
The coffee shop chain started off as a humble coffee cart in Brooklyn, but thanks to its stunning pastel-coloured iced lattes soon became a social media sensation.
It’s drawn in loads of famous fans, with chief influencer Molly-Mae Hague herself a loyal customer.
Blank Street’s incredibly aesthetic green-and-white-fronted stores are found all over London these days, with people always traipsing out the door clutching beautiful swirling coffees, pistachio lattes, and blueberry matchas.
There are already three Blank Street cafes over in Manchester, but Leeds has been overlooked until now.
Blank Street has yet to confirm an opening date for its Leeds cafe.
