The Hamilton Company announced that Brooklyn-based Blank Street will establish its newest Boston-area shop at the former Twin Donuts diner at 501 Cambridge St. in Allston, following a long-term lease agreement between Hamilton Company and the specialty coffee and matcha brand. Blank Street already operates seven Boston-area locations with stores in Beacon Hill, the Back Bay, North Station, South Boston, Brookline and Cambridge.
“We’re excited to welcome Blank Street to Allston and partner with them to create a new era of business history at 501 Cambridge St.,” said Jameson Brown, chairman and CEO of The Hamilton Company. “‘Blank Street’s preservation of the iconic Twin Donuts sign really honors the long history of that property as a special place that is beloved in the community.”
The Hamilton Company will restore and retain the neon Twin Donuts sign, a longtime fixture in the Allston neighborhood. Blank Street anticipates a late spring 2026 grand opening of the Allston location. The diner opened in 1955 and closed this past March.
