"Blank Street is built around the idea that coffee should be good, affordable and convenient to seamlessly fit into people’s everyday routine. Our small-format, tech-forward stores are designed for speed and an easy, on-the-go way to get good coffee. We're excited to bring this experience to 688 Broadway, the heart of an iconic neighborhood in Downtown NYC, steps away from NYU," said Vinay Menda, co-founder of Blank Street Coffee.

“Blank Street Coffee and Bond Vet have signed multiple leases for space next to each other across the city and we are thrilled to welcome them to this premier retail location,” said Moran. “The property is ideally located steps from NYU, the alma mater of Blank Street Coffee’s founder, and caters to the neighborhood’s large population, including over 50,000 NYU students.”
