Spring is in the air, and Blank Street is celebrating with a pop-up surprise for Londoners. From Thursday, 3 April, the beloved coffee brand is bringing its 'Press for Picnic' pop-up to the sunny streets of Fitzrovia as a way to encourage city dwellers to embrace the joy of an impromptu picnic.

You'll find them located outside Blank Street's Charlotte Street store, with a kiosk that will open at random times throughout the day, offering complimentary picnic kits to the first 100 people to press the button each day.

Each kit includes two drinks from Blank Street's latest lineup – choose between the 'Strawberry Shortcake Matcha' or the nostalgic 'Rhubarb & Custard Matcha', both made with Blank Street's ceremonial grade matcha. Customers will also receive two freshly baked cookies, with flavours including white chocolate raspberry, milk chocolate sea salt, carrot cake, and the all-time favourite pistachio crème. Select kits will also feature surprise gifts and fun on-the-go games.

The pop-up will be open from 3 April until  9 April, with opening times revealed only on the day via the Blank Street app and Instagram.
