Editorial Review

Batdorf and Bronson roasted coffees made the right way as well as H&H bagels and pastries from Baked in Brooklyn.

Damn fine Espresso!

by tempting_eve at Citysearch

Amidst the still sparsely populated landscape of DUMBO, there lies the little coffee shop that could. Neatly and cleverly tucked under the stairwell of a massive converted warehouse, Coffee Box at Retreat serves up all those things I yearn for before 9am. Espresso, coffee and iced coffee made the way it's supposed to be made. Goods from Baked and H&H bagels keep my belly full and my grin big and wide. And let me tell you about their iced coffee--IT ROCKS BABY! And the staff are warm and fun, unlike those "other" joints where you have to learn a new language just to order a freakin cuppa specialty joe. I love that I can lounge upstairs ALL DAY if I want with access to FREE wi-fi! I can work and relax on a velvet sofa sipping espresso. How cool is that?! Looks like someone has finally injected some life into DUMBO. And not a moment too soon!

• Pros: great coffee and espresso, free Wi-Fi, great prices
