New American coffee house to open in Birmingham's Bullring - opening date revealed

Cult brand Blank Street has confirmed it will be opening its first store in Birmingham next month.

Following calls from locals to bring the brand to the Midlands, the new store is located in the Bullring and officially opens to the public on Saturday, September 7.

In their first two years in the UK, Blank Street has built a fanbase through its innovative and delicious menu, which includes its viral matchas such as White Chocolate and Blueberry, and staples specialty cold brew and the classic flat white. 

From September 7, the people of Birmingham will be able to enhance their coffee (or matcha) ritual with a specialty grade, Blank Street flat white or try the brand's new Autumn Menu which will include some cosy new drinks that are expected to become fan favourites for the season. 

Blank Street kicked off a matcha revolution in London when it launched the viral Blueberry Matcha last Spring. Since then, Blank Street has built a matcha menu including the White Chocolate Matcha, and popular Summer Specials. 

The brand pairs its high quality, ceremonial grade matcha with signature flavours, as well as seasonal drops that rotate every season. Their new home in the Bullring promises to be another thoughtfully designed store, for Birmingham locals looking to build a new matcha ritual.

Blank Street cemented its cult coffee brand status in June when the Espresso singer, Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans by serving espressos at one of their London stores.

We’ll be bringing the same delicious selection of signature coffees and matchas, along with our newly launched Autumn Menu which will channel the cosiness of home as the autumn rolls in.”
