A good place to enjoy coffee drinks prepared using weekly imports of hard-to-find Nordic coffee roasters or house roaster Lofted (Bushwick). They also host a CSA and various popups. Pretty space.
Alexanne LaplanteMay 28, 2018Fantastic café with cozy minimalist vibe. Cool place to have some work done and enjoy the calm hidden backyard. Wifi password : BEYONCE7
North Brooklyn in Nordic mood ♥ Fantastic new coffee shop in Greenpoint. Minimalist scandinavian design. Scandinavian coffee roasters: Johan & Nyström, Tim Wendelboe or Reykjavík Roasters, Smily team.
Cooper SmithJanuary 29, 2014BÚÐIN stocks coffee beans by Tim Wendelboe of Norway and Koppi of Sweden, with guest beans from other parts of the nordic region and the option to sign up to a whole-bean subscription service
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideOctober 19, 2014Greenpoint is spoiled for great coffee shop backyards. Budin has a pretty chill backyard, sports clean Nordic design, one of the most interesting multi-roaster menus in NYC, wifi, plugs & craft beer.
Andrius RomanovskisJanuary 7, 2017It is tough to get single origin espresso in NYC. And if You luck - mostly it is Americas. That is why You must to go here. I had my Burundi and it was best espresso in NYC from 15 places I checked.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideNovember 26, 2014So popular for laptops that it can be hard to get a seat despite a large bar, 2 front tables, 3 stool height 4 tops and a garden (weather allowing), Búdin offers coffee from many roasters. Free wifi.
Coffeeshop by day; beer bar at night (coffee also available for those who need a caffeine fix or alternative to drinking). Small, communal tables, great ambience. Perfect date spot at night.
ShahJuly 12, 2015Baristas have a little bit of a ’tude, but the coffee is amazing and you can't find these beans anywhere else around here. When I get homesick, I'll come here.
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 30, 2014Greenpoint needs all the quality coffee it can get, even if it is of the inconsistent variety. Búdin offers interesting drink variations, Nordic coffee roasters & food in a beautiful setting. (2/14)
Ryan JorgensonNovember 8, 2014The rich Lakkrís latte is certainly worth it, although it's more of a dessert. Coffee and espresso are executed very well, and they stock some interesting Nordic goods. Beer & wine as well.
I much prefer their hot coffee over their iced which has an almost sour flavor. Great spot to get a little work in on the laptop, they've even got beer in tap to reward yourself once you finish
Ben HudsonSeptember 26, 2017Best music! Also my iced coffee is bright and rich just like I like it. I feel cool here and the work station seating is perfect for my purposes.
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 29, 2014Greenpoint needs all the quality coffee it can get, even if it is of the inconsistent variety. Búdin offers interesting drink variations, exotic Nordic coffee roasters & food in a beautiful setting.
Worth the hike for Scandinavian roasters that are hard to find and Tim Wendelboe following. Huge outdoor garden in the back. Awesome staff.
my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. friendly efficient staff, coffee is delicious and they serve beer/ sell local artist items. outdoor patio is nice too
Dominique EllisMay 14, 2015Good coffee, strong wifi, adorable Nordic atmosphere. Check out their collection of cute (and mildly creepy) Nordic children's storybooks.
Alexandra FanningJanuary 23, 2018Omg this place is super cute - heaps of seating, nice tea choices, I'll be back
New York Coffee WeekOctober 19, 2015If you want to try something different, go for the licorice-flecked latte. BÚÐIN is also celebrated for its friendly baristas and great decor. Read more
Andrew FurmanMay 7, 2016Awesome iced coffee and awesome space. There's tons of space to work inside and a massive patio out back.
Noah WeissOctober 1, 2016The best Scandinavian coffee roasters make for great pour overs and cappuccinos.
Elvis RodricksDecember 23, 2015Modern swedish coffee house. Large in size but intimate setting. Quality beverages. Grab a coffee, sit here and get your creative mind on.
Light-filled Scandinavian- and Icelandic-inspired new coffee house on Greenpoint Avenue. Sexy, contemporary design and prices to match but worth every penny.
Nathan GammieMay 2, 2015This place is incredible! With a backyard as big as my parent's house, natural light in front and back of the shop, tasty coffee and on-tap brews. Does it get better??
karenMarch 16, 2014The $10 licorice-flecked latte is definitely worth trying - at least once. Super friendly baristas as well!
Quite possibly the platonic ideal of a coffee shop to get work done at. Plenty of seating and light, great coffee, and free wifi.
Allie MahlerJanuary 4, 2015Great coffee drinks and place to work. Open super late (1am) and has wifi. Get the cheese plate for a snack!
Haley-Naz DresserJune 7, 2016amazing little spot to stop and have a coffee - they also have a really cute patio in the back!
KristinaFebruary 11, 2016Amazing scandinavian coffee in a lovely interior. Try the lovely roasted Lofted beans! Favorite coffee place
The best aeropress coffee in all of NYC. Hands down. No questions. Budin gives all the shits about serving amazing coffee
Excellent multi-roaster shop serving primarily Scandinavian coffee
jessica m. hintermeisterMarch 4, 2014lakkris latte just went from $7 to $10 because of the "dwindling supply of licorice powder and anise syrup sourced directly from Denmark"
Lovely open yet cozy atmosphere. Get the aero press coffees, they are outstanding and part of a well curated selection.
Fantastic coffee here. Honestly top 3 in the city. Relaxed atmosphere.
Ray LinApril 8, 2014Known for its $10 latte, but get something softer on the wallet and still enjoy the roomy space.
Jess HueyNovember 9, 2015Scandinavian coffee,Free wifi, spacious coffee shop, and backyard garden - come back at night for beer
Maria LambertApril 18, 2016The best coffee. Cozy, the nicest baristas, and great beer. Oh and wifi and a garden!
Fantastic coffee, beer, an outdoor patio, and fast wifi. What more do you need?
Mike FraiettaFebruary 15, 2014Try the $7 latte. "Beans grown in Ethiopia, roasted in Norway, the anise syrup and raw licorice powder both from Denmark."
Rachel KingMarch 5, 2016Eater: "When it opened, Budin created a stir for serving a $7 licorice latte. That drink, which includes imported anise syrup and expensive licorice powder, is now $10. "
Lucy TangJune 17, 2014Controversial for their $10 latte. Interesting selection of Scandinavian goods.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 23, 2015Funky Viking coffee shop. Only met a friend for a meeting, but seemed nice and worth returning to.- Sahil KathawalaNovember 23, 2015Really relaxed vibe + a tiny little shop in the back. Great local coffee too
Nate KowalJanuary 30, 2015Serve great Nordic roasters. Tim Wendelboe. Aeropress for here is wonderful. Garden in back.
Brian Grogan Jr.January 18, 2016Scandinavian coffee, great flavor. Communal tables. Gets crowded in the afternoon.
Ashley RoseMay 15, 2016Coffee + merchants up front. Latte didn't quite live up to the hype, butter croissant was the start. Messy bar back was off putting
