Brooklyn UnitedMarch 6, 2012A welcome addition to Jay Street in the summer of 2011, these guys are our go-to coffee in the morning, afternoon, and night. Stop in, grab a cup, and even snag a seat if one is available.
Ben DruckerNovember 6, 2014It'll fill up by afternoon on the weekend but there's always seats in the morning. There are bike racks across the street and the coffee is awesome.
They seem to source poor quality beans, and roasted sub-optimally, but this is still a reasonable option in DUMBO, especially with the baristas expertly doing the best they can with those beans.
NYDDAugust 24, 2011NYDD Pick-me-up: BRC started serving coffee and espresso in July of 2011 and is a welcome addition to the area's coffee scene. Grab a single cup or split a French press, you won't regret it!
Alan MortonJuly 27, 2017Amazing coffee! Amazing people! Amazing!!! Massive place and so cool to work in and chill 9.5/10
Karthik RamanApril 15, 2015Good iced coffee and croissants. Lots of seating, nice and bright, lots of outlets. Good for meetings and getting work done
Amazing space, amazing coffee, yummy food. Flat whites and iced lattes are great. Love love love.
James BatesSeptember 27, 2016Love this coffee spot, has expanded since my last visit. Try the smoothie bar or take some beans home.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015The loft-style, industrial space is filled with antique roasting equipment and ample seating. There are pastries and sandwiches as well. Read more
Caffeine and killer playlists to go with a very Dumbo atmosphere. Order the maple latte, and sing along to wagon wheel when it comes on
Sophie HebdidgeDecember 1, 2016Amazing doughnuts and coffee in a chilled out atmosphere. Also super cheap for the area and New York
Staff is awesome and the music is (almost) always good. I definitely prefer the Iris espresso (smooth and nutty). I am here way too often!
Dakota ArkinFebruary 3, 2016I love this place! So much ample seating and inspiring decor. Very cool spot. Just wish they had wifi.
Love the grunge factory look of this place.. Coffee is fresh and great. Great place to catch up and unwind.- James BatesSeptember 9, 2014Awesome coffee and treats and a great environment to enjoy it in, or take out and sit in Brooklyn Bridge park
Jastine KhoMarch 26, 2019Spacious cafe - great for getting work done. I would advise to skip the pastries and just stick to coffee.

One of the bigger coffee shops I've been to. Seems packed but definitely a place to coffice and work.
Kevin HylantMarch 25, 2015Favorite coffee shop in New York hands down. Go to the coffee bar in the front for s shorter wait.
Sunny HJune 17, 2015Iced Maple Shay: Maple syrup-infused shots of single origin Colombian espresso + Battenkill Valley milk
My absolute favorite place to relax and/or get some work done. Great coffee too 👌
Untapped CitiesJanuary 17, 2014Always plenty of seating at the Brooklyn Roasting Company; a good place to kick your feet up with a cup of coffee (or several). Read more
Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2014Beautiful huge space. Sid coffee. But noisy but otherwise a great place to do work in a beautiful neighborhood.
TiffanyMarch 21, 2016Huge coffee shop where they roast their own beans. Opt for an iced tea or a chai latte if you're not feeling for some caffeine.
Mick ManagementOctober 19, 2011BEST coffee in DUMBO hands down. Plus you can get Dough donuts (generally there's a line at the bakery out the door) that will blow your mind!
Emanuel KarlstenNovember 22, 2011Great coffee roastery. They import and roast on the spot. Probably the best and most genuine coffee you'll get in Brooklyn (and NY?)
Eugene KimMay 23, 2019Great place for doing work - delicious matcha lattes - the music can be a bit loud
The croissants are legit. And the Ethiopia Sidamo cold brew does actually have a lot of blueberry flavor going on. Finally Dumbo has a good coffee spot.
🍩 This is where I get my weekly donut fix. they have select Dough donuts here including dulce de leche.
Great coffee, comfy seating, group tables, WiFi, and all in DUMBO. It doesn't get much better.

Outside benches are comfy. Grab a coffee and their egg salad / bacon baguette and sit for a moment.
M Iftekharul AnamJune 29, 2018Ambiance is good. Coffee is average. The snack items on the other side were delicious. Great for hanging out.
The cortado's are amazing! Quality coffee is a can't miss!
Sravanti TekumallaApril 19, 2017Great coffee, tons of space to sit with wifi. The perfect place to work.
Julie SosciaSeptember 5, 2018Very good spot for coffee AND people watching. Stop by if you are in the Dumbo area.
Mish and RobJune 10, 2015A convenient place to work from if you're in DUMBO. The coffee's great and the servers are lovely.
You don't have to buy anything to use the internet unlike some coffee shops in the area. T he MAPLE SHAY IS THE BEST DRINK EVER.
Borys PierovNovember 20, 2017Even though it’s a roastery they don’t do pour over coffees, espresso is awfully bitter, the way they store roasted beans is questionable and they claim their coffee is good for 6 month 😳 Meh
Harry RobertsDecember 9, 2014This place is cool as hell, with nice staff and amazing coffee. The almond croissant was pretty good, too.- Ariel VieraAugust 6, 2014They serve hot drinks in plastic glasses, which is a pet peeve of mine. However, the space is huge with couches, plenty of outlets, and lots of seating.
Kimmie OhhJuly 27, 2020Plenty of space here. They have WiFi, outlets, greats coffee & friendly employees!
There's no flat white on the menu, but ask for a flat white and a flat white you shall receive.
Large coffee shop with a lot of room to work, or grab q cup of coffee with a friend- Penn MarchaelSeptember 8, 2016Always get a coffee of the month tin and an espresso of the month, always good
