New York City is close to the hearts of many, even those who haven’t even stepped foot on its grounds. This is because the city has been continually romanticized in almost all the TV shows and movies that we watch, and even the books that we read. Almost everything happens in New York, and for some reason, we’ve witnessed all that. The city is also known for its many different established cultures, especially Brooklyn, which is evidently defined by its rich past and its people. That is why it’s no surprise that this borough is generous with different spaces that cater to different subcultures. Brooklyn is home to many coffee shops, each with different things to offer. Here are some of the best that you should check out.
1. Devocion
Originally from Colombia, this cafe is proud of its fresh coffee beans, hand-selected in their secret plantations by excellent coffee growers. They highlight on social and environmental programs that strengthen their relationship with their coffee growers, especially those that have suffered during the country’s internal conflict. Quite a story for a good cup of coffee, huh? They have two locations in Brooklyn. One in Williamsburg, and another in Downtown. Their cafes can easily be determined because they have their own ‘junglesque’ aesthetic that definitely adds to the relaxing vibe. We recommend that you try their Turkey Avocado Brie Sandwich and a classic espresso to get you started with the day.
