Customer Review Summary
The criticism is sharp and specific. One reviewer found a matcha tasting almost entirely of milk, and staff said any adjustment would cost extra. Another asked for a Corrado, equal parts espresso and milk, and received a flat white, then skipped the offered remake. A third found a latte and a cherry latte tasteless, like plain milk. One review also describes a staff member in a long conversation with a friend while the team was a person down.

“Overall not a great experience, a staff members was engaged with a friend of their with a conversation that lasted quiet sometime which meant they team was 1 person down. Asked for a Corrado which is equal parts espresso and milk - they gave me a flat white……… the guy then went “I can remake it if you want” OF COURSE I DO - I ASKED FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE Anyway, coffee wasn’t remade bc i don’t like food waste, but please do better and stop thinking your customers don’t know what they order”

“I was really excited to try the matcha at Blank Street, especially since it was my first time. I actually came from another country and made a special trip just to try it after hearing so much about it. Unfortunately, the matcha wasn’t made well at all. The people I was with, who have had Blank Street before, even said the quality wasn’t what it usually is. When I politely mentioned it to the staff, they didn’t seem interested in helping or offering a solution. The drink tasted almost entirely like milk, with barely any matcha flavor, so I asked if they could add a bit more matcha to fix it. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, they simply told me I would have to pay extra for any modification. The staff were unwelcoming and unhelpful, which made the experience even more disappointing. I had been so excited to try Blank Street and even made a special trip while visiting from another country. Sadly, this was my first and will definitely be my last visit.”

“This is quickly becoming my favourite coffee shop in Manchester! not only is the coffee fantastic (my personal favourite is the iced mocha cold brew latte) but the staff are excellent! In particular I must pass on my highest commendations for Lucie and her exemplary customer service & managerial skills. Her professional, friendly and warm demeanour was the reason my one random initial visit has turned into a regular occurrence, when I was having a bad day that day her kindness and empathy really showed me how there still is good people out there! Thank you Lucie and to all the team at blank street Piccadilly Gardens for the great coffee and chats!!”

“Always have such a lovely experience at Blank Street Manchester Piccadilly. Darcy is always so welcoming and friendly, and she gives the best recommendations for new matcha flavours to try. She’s genuinely so sweet, and her kindness really made my day today.”
