About Blank Street

At Blank Street, we believe that rituals matter, and that great rituals make your life better. With coffee shops across the US and UK, we are working to transform the high street grab-and-go coffee transaction into an experience that is higher in quality, hospitality, and joy.

Our Values

• Magic is in the Details: We value attention to detail in everything we do. We're always thinking about the small things that make a moment meaningful.
• Move as One: We value people who strive to be the best team player, not individual stars.
• “My Home is your Home” Hospitality: We look for individuals who treat others the same way they'd treat a guest in their home. We care about presentation, hospitality, and having fun even when things are stressful.
