Blank Street Coffee

You're walking down Notting Hill Gate and you spot the queue snaking out of Blank Street — that's your sign they're doing something right. This is proper coffee culture without the pretension: they're serious about their beans, their extraction, their technique. The space itself is pared-back and unfussy, which somehow makes the ritual of getting a really good coffee feel even more worthwhile. Whether you're grabbing a flat white before heading to the market on a Saturday or settling in with a filter pour-over, there's a real sense that the people behind the counter actually care about what's in your cup.
