This neighborhoody spot is often as quiet as a library on weekends, as Greenpointers and those vacationing to Brooklyn fill up the seats to quietly exist online...with cappuccinos.
It's just the cozy place to stop for a balanced shot of espresso or a cool iced anything.
If you can tear your mind away from the buttered pretzelbrot stick long enough to enjoy your coffee, you'll find lush cappuccinos and potent espresso shots.
A rotating cast of super-high-quality roasters, including most recently Counter Culture Coffee, 49th Parallel and George Howell's Terroir, fill out the very simple, espresso-heavy menu.
They may be focused a little more on food than coffee here, but the shop—whose tiny tables make it feel more Continental chic than library-like—is long on charm.
