Blue Bottle Coffee

White people paradise. Especially the cook book where you can learn to bake cakes that looks like a Modern Art. Granola comes in a jar, which is cool and earthy.

I have to say tho, despite the earnestness, the coffee is EXCELLENT. The iced coffee after yoga one day nearly sent me through the roof. One of the best cold brews in town. Although possibly also one of the strongest too. Eeek.

It's not that comfortable a place to hang out, despite all the floor space. This is fixed in the summer when you can sit on the bench outside.

Come to think of it, I usually take my out of towners here to see how ridiculous we are about coffee in Brooklyn. It's good to get that outside perspective.

But beyond all the absurdity: the coffee is obscenely good. It's like a less milk is better type of place. You really wanna taste what's going down.

This place is really meticulous about their drinks. They out in a lot of effort -- perhaps more than is needed -- but the result is high quality products. They do good.

I got a flat white here which is off menu, but they did a good job! I was disappointed that they didn't have wi-fi or ample seating here. They're known for their New Orleans and even though I'm not a huge fan of milk or sugar in my coffee, it was really good!

The New Orleans is soooooooo good. I still don't know what a chicory is. NB: no wifi here.

Trendy and hip, but nice. I was brought here by a friend specifically to try their cold brew. Not bad, but I've definitely had better. The atmosphere was nice, but seemed busy even though the place wasn't packed at the time I was there in the afternoon. I'd love to go back and try other things, and maybe write a better review.
