The best Coffee Shop in Brooklyn will have you feeling like you’re in the midst of a buzzing cafe scene. It’s where self-proclaimed coffee aficionados line up to order their morning fix and where you can find a plethora of stylish freelancers hunched over laptops — and their dominoes, books, and magazines. With latte art that looks ready for a magazine spread and plenty of seating options, this cozy spot is a must visit.

Brooklyn’s Java Joints: Diving into the Coffee Shop Scene

This bright, airy sky-lit warehouse stocked with potted plants feels more West Coast than Bushwick but it’s got some of the best coffee in NYC. They work with local microroasters and favor a light Nordic-style flavor profile beloved by coffee snobs.

This charming cafe is a go-to for Bed-Stuy remote workers. A smattering of tables surrounded by plants and a large communal table make this spot one of the coolest in town for stylish freelancers. Their kolache pastries are sweet and savory enough for any displaced Texan, plus their cold brew is the real deal.

This neighborhood favorite serves up a killer brew (they’re sourcing their beans from NYC roaster Spectrum), an equally killer breakfast sandwich, and a menu of fresh baked goods from Balthazar. They also have a souped-up espresso machine, lots of plugs, and several two-person tables to crank out the emails. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, they also have a variety of herbal teas. Their seasonal Golden Milk is a must try!
