Black Brick Coffee – Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Last week Madeline and I spent the morning in Brooklyn. The main purpose of our trip was to see Clare at Arrojo. Before and after our appointments we checked out four pretty cool coffee shops. Our first stop was Black Brick on Bedford Avenue. We found it after seeing it on the instagram of Coffee Cups of the World.
Look up, down, everywhere there were details not to be missed in this eclectic shop.
It took almost 90 minutes in morning traffic from Connecticut so I sort of knew I might not make a healthy choice. Boy, was this a great place to start. The dulce de lece donut was worth every calorie. We chose a seat at the window. I’m not sure why some seats are designated as computer free tables, but we were okay with that. Clare mentioned later that we missed the secret garden in back. I guess maybe they sensed we were not locals…and therefore the garden remained a secret?
Next stop, Sweatshop on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg.
WOW…FOUR coffee places…you will be like a race car driver on the way home.
Mary Ann, Lucky for me…madeline does not even drink coffee. More of a chai girl and she was driving that day! 🙂

I love independent coffee stores. The treats you show look homemade, yummy.
Sounds like a fun field trip to me!

Ok I admit I am not a coffee fan but I would love visiting these places. Wonder if they serve hot chocolate? And the food…looks so very yummy!
It’s been a while since I’ve visited, Annie — I love the new look!
thanks Sue!
Love, love, love!
I need to go to Brooklyn with you!
This looks like a fabulous place! You find the best hidden gems!!
