Blank Street Coffee

You know that feeling when you walk into a coffee shop and immediately clock that they actually care about what's in your cup? That's Blank Street. Tucked away on Pentonville Road in King's Cross, it's the kind of place where the baristas won't judge you for ordering a flat white, but they'll also get genuinely excited if you want to try their latest single-origin filter. The space itself is unfussy—think minimal aesthetic, good lighting, the kind of spot where you can actually work without feeling like you're overstaying your welcome after one £3.50 coffee.
