The brand boasts its menu is crafted with care, using the best local and global partners. From specialty-grade Arabica coffee to first flush ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Japan, every ingredient is chosen with purpose.

Ignacio Llado, Blank Street co-founder, said: “We’re thrilled to be expanding across the country into a new region, and even more excited to open what is truly our most beautiful store yet. Spanning two floors in one of Leeds’ most iconic buildings, it will be the largest Blank Street in the world.

“The response to our northern launches has been incredible, and Leeds felt like the natural next step. At Blank Street, we believe in finding joy in the everyday, and we can’t wait to share that spirit with the people of Leeds this winter.”
