Coffee overshadowed by Indie hell. I guess this is where Trustafarians work at after they graduate from school? Coffee wasn't my style but I could see the care taken in their coffee. But I just want a cuppa joe without having to deal with politics, etc. which seems to be the favor of the day with coffee in NYC. Why can't one get a simple, good cup of coffee around Billyburg? I feel I've outgrown it all. . . and, yeah, Lou Reed ain't all that either.

Sunny coffeehouse wires Greenpoint with shots from a high-end espresso machine.. This sunny corner spot glows with tangerine walls, honey wood tables and a beautifully restored tin ceiling. Coffee brewing is treated as an art form, crafted with the utmost care and precision. A Synesso machine insures espresso is brewed with the proper water temperature, and beans are all of single origin, mostly from regions in Ethiopia and South America. Lattes are a specialty, topped with artfully patterned foam. Hunger is sated with pastries from Colson Patisserie, muffins from Blue Sky and vegetarian and vegan sandwiches.
