Blank Street, the New York-born coffee and matcha chain that blew up on social media for its pastel-hued blueberry matcha, is officially heading to Los Angeles this June. The brand is rolling out two new shops, one in Beverly Hills and another in Studio City, marking its first confirmed move into the LA market. Expect minimalist sage-green interiors, dessert-forward matcha creations, and plenty of influencer-driven buzz. With a cult following already in place, lines and photo ops are practically built into the business model.
Blank Street Is Opening Two LA Shops
As reported by Time Out, Blank Street plans to debut in Beverly Hills and Studio City this June. The outlet notes that the chain now operates more than 90 locations across New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and London as it marches toward store number 100. These Los Angeles openings are the brand's clearest move into Southern California so far.
Menu Moves: Blueberry Matcha And Seasonal Spins
Blank Street built much of its hype on seasonal, camera-ready drinks like its viral blueberry matcha, along with rotating flavors such as Lemon Loaf Matcha and Cherry Glaze, as detailed by Forbes. The company's own site spotlights a spring menu and a mobile-first ordering system, tying its product lineup to a tech-forward approach that helps it scale quickly. For Angelenos, that likely translates to easy app-based orders and a constant rotation of limited-time matcha experiments.
How The Model Could Play In LA
Blank Street's small-format, tech-centric setup, which includes automated Eversys espresso machines and compact pickup windows, is designed for rapid expansion but has also sparked questions about growth and labor. Axios has outlined the chain's barista training lab and reliance on automation, while WGBH and other local outlets have covered worker organizing efforts in some markets. Celebrity moments have only boosted the buzz: The Inquirer documented Sabrina Carpenter pulling a surprise barista shift at a London shop last year.
When To Expect More Details
Blank Street has not yet listed exact street addresses or firm opening dates for the Beverly Hills and Studio City locations on its public map, so fans will have to keep an eye on the brand's site for updates. The company's About and Locations pages outline its origins and current markets, and Time Out remains the clearest early signal of the LA rollout. For now, both openings are slated for June.
