25 Best Coffee Shops in Brooklyn You Must Try

Brooklyn ranks top in terms of caffeine consumption per capita, with a coffee shop or coffee house found in nearly all streets. While there are traditional companies such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, there are also numerous independent third-wave coffee houses ranging from agricultural coffee shops to Scandi-inspired coffee shops with stylish interiors and coffee to complement. Whether you’re searching for the finest rigorous espresso or an exhilarating cold brew, here are some of the top locations in Brooklyn to get your daily coffee needs.

There is absolutely nothing superior than discovering the ideal neighborhood hangout. Perhaps Friends is to blame however, I’ve always thought that having a good neighborhood coffee shop was an essential component of residing in New York. A spot to get a good beverage, eat wonderful dishes, and socialize with others. I can’t promise you’ll discover your tribe’s next Central Perk (Friends joke) however, I can say with certainty that these are the finest coffee shops in Brooklyn to try out.

1.Dweebs

This Bushwick station has freshly made almond milk, killer avocado toast, and brews from NYC roaster Spectrum Coffees (which supplies beans from Kenya, Honduras, and Costa Rica) however, it lacks the pretentiousness of certain independent stores in the borough. The airy, large coffee shop on Dekalb Ave hides behind a flower box-lined veranda; inside, there’s a bar-lined window, easily accessible wooden tables, shared games (think: Connect Four and Bananagrams), and walls embellished with for sale local paintings. Their latte art is said to be on point, and their cyclical Golden Milk—similar to gingerbread milk—is not to be overlooked.
