Blank Street Coffee

You'll find Blank Street tucked into Praed Street in Tyburnia, and it's refreshingly no-nonsense—just good coffee, minimal décor, and staff who actually know what they're doing. There's a reason it's got near-perfect ratings: they're serious about their beans and their technique, but they've ditched the pretension that usually comes with that territory. The sort of place you pop into before heading to Paddington Station or after wandering round the back streets near Edgware Road, where you genuinely feel like a regular within three visits.
