  1. Blank Street Coffee is a VC-backed coffee chain that is taking over NYC neighborhood by neighborhood. Please consider supporting locally-owned businesses!

    • This is good information, I agree, better to support local biz whenever possible.

    • Wasnt blank st. local until someone came in and invested… isnt that the goal for any brand. dont get why they get so much hate for getting a vc investment

      • you really dont get the hate for giant money organizations that make it impossible for new small businesses to open because they possess a war chest that can sit on any lot for as long as they please driving up rents while destroying character and soul of a neighborhood with homoginized chains?

  2. I like my coffee like my soul, black with a bit of milk and sugar to cover the bitterness….
