You really haven’t lived until you’ve eaten avocado toast drizzled with chili honey and sprinkled with smoked salt. You just haven’t. Read more

Avo whites nad avocado toast with honey were really tasty! The only drawback was that the toasts could have been warm. Ginger peach tea and coffee were great! Nice and affordable place for breakfast

Ms Helene

Kale salad with arugula , pecorino , artichoke , toasted pine nuts & peppers $11, substitute for ginger dressing & add tofu $3. Loud space. Good almond cappuccino .

Paulina Michalska

Great spot with delicious choice of breakfasts , sandwiches , and salads . Everything we tried was superb. I recommend s'mores dip and avocado toasts . Bear in mind it might get crowded in the morning.

I'm so excited about Blank Slate. This cute café is my Midtown's hidden spot ! They serve a myriad of tasty teas , amazing coffees and the best avocado toast along with some good vegetarian options

Justin Clark

Trendy local feeling with great coffee . The avocado toast is frequently recommended. Also try the scrambles and the waffles (although probably not together). Fast service and friendly staff .

Sara States

I like this place and it's a gem in this neighborhood . My matcha latte is pretty bad though; the barista obviously thinks my complaint is crazy as she seems reluctant to do anything about it.

Ms Helene

Busy during peak brunch but fine by 2pm Sunday. Breakfast bowl of quinoa , avocado mash , sautéed brussel sprouts , mushrooms and fried egg

Andre Malay

Place for perfect breakfast . Try Avocado toast and Maple walnut granola . Portions are not very big, so you could try both.

Diana Olympia

for work it's a nay - usually packed with brunch crowd so doesn't seem like ideal set up. but for catching up with a friend / grabbing a flat white - yay for sure.

Sophie Omnom

Get your oat milk lattes here! Great coffee and espresso drinks . The pastries are good too, and you can pick up a sandwich or snack for later.

Jen Shin

get the bacon egg scramble and the avocado toast ! they drizzle honey and sprinkle red pepper flakes for a savory sweet combo.

Tasty salads , sandwiches , and coffee , but crowded and over-priced even for a trendy midtown cafe .

Good coffee and avocado toast . I’d skip the sunny side up eggs . The whites weren’t cooked. Good scrambled eggs

Avocado toast was yummy! The scrambles were a bit bland. Free seating, so get there early if you're dining in for brunch .

OMG! Avocado toast w sunny side up is the best I ever had!

Ask about the avocado toast of the day, usually better than the regular one!

The avocado caprese salad has the right amount of balsamic, and the latte is balanced in terms of flavors
