Perfect place to work from with Stumptown coffee, wifi, and comfy seating, or go day drinking in their backdoor patio. Makes me wish I lived in Williamsburg.
AmateurConciergeNovember 27, 2018Great space. In the winter it’s a super spacious coffee spot (tho the joe ain’t all that) that’s great to work from. When the weather is nice, the yard is POPPING with the froze flowing.
Feels like a hotel lobby bar, with no hotel attached. Perfect people-watching for the Wburg cool kid crowd. Great coffee, cheap and delicious drinks, snacks, board games and dope music all day/night.
naveenOctober 15, 2019the best space to work out of – tons of room and seats in three different areas (including their courtyard). wifi - 130 mbps down.
Gorgeous, airy restaurant, bar, and coffee shop with free wifi, great hours
Nicole FormicaJune 14, 2015This space is gorgeous! So open and airy. Great place to drink lots of coffee and watch the world go by.
7pm-close HH: M: $10burger+beer T: $1 oysters, $5 wine W: $3 drafts Th: $6 Moscow mules Sun: 1/2 price bottle wine. 1/2 off bar 10am-7pm. Ping pong tables.
Erik CintronAugust 8, 2016Everything you want in one place. Outside beer garden with games. Then on the inside a sexy vibe where you can get bottle service. Crowd was sexy & d.j. On point. Food was good -and had craft beer
Sam GrJuly 31, 2015$1 oyster/$5 wine night on Tuesdays! A little loud but a big space with fun decor.
Atmosphere is dope. Rock and roll is not dead. Design of the physical space is great. I had a cappuccino and chocolate croissant. I’m in my happy place 🤤
Soho house for young Williamsburg hipsters. I love it here. Great food, coffee, wifi, community, alcohol... what more could you want?
Indoors and outdoors is amazing. Great place for food, brunch, drinks, music, big groups, birthdays and pretty much everything. You can play ping pong outside. This is definitely a hidden gem
Workspace, happy hour, untz untz — repeat. Scene queens, bros, hipsters, b&t, GTL. You name it, they got it.
SO. MUCH. SPACE. The lobby coffee is perfect to work in the AM (power outlets, strong WIFI). Later, bar and restaurant worth checking out.
kbd bApril 3, 2018If you scream silently into the air, you'll find a hip ceiling – I had this calming experience here. Good coffee and service. Good amount of seating. No 'laptop free table' fashion here, thank god.
Really great cafe to sit and relax or do some work in. The upper level has a great view of the Williamsburg bridge!
Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2014Quickly became friends w staff. Brew stump town. It's a great environment for being creative. Beautifully architected and amazing view of Williamsburg bridge. Dependable outlets and wifi.- Niels Kristian ChristensenMarch 9, 2014Stumptown coffee. Great little spot off the beaten track. Excellent view of the Williamsburg bridge and it catches sun all day. Mr Barista, the coffee was way too hot on my last visit.
great place to work in willyburg. outlets and tables in the main cafe area + hotel lobby type section further in with fulsome food and drink options 👍🏼👍🏼- Alex PyatetskyJuly 23, 2015This place is my home. Huge space designed to look like the lobby of a fancy hotel. Diverse, non douchey crowd. A country club for people who'd never join a country club. Wifi/work during day.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 29, 2014On a secluded side street in burgeoning southwest Williamsburg, Freehold's work-friendly cafe, sporting a beautiful yellow La Marzocco, is the advance guard of a full-service restaurant to come.
One of the loveliest cafes we've ever been to. Amazing coffee, loads of comfy seats, outlets, friendly staff, fast wifi, great air-con. The best.- DoubleDeuceSeptember 17, 2016This place is about as lively as they get. And it's great. Lots of neighborhood charm and close enough to the river to soak in some views.
TingJuly 27, 2015Great space, great coffee. Both Cortado and cold brew are good. Worth a stop if in the area.
Jackie GApril 24, 2017Sunday's is 50% off wine bottles! If you're looking for a lively scene come around 8. Tons of fun but not over the top!
Joanne ReinardAugust 31, 2016Awesome place worth to be tried out! Food is great and cocktails are amazing! Check out the events and venues they launch before going
Ebee DAugust 2, 2015Do yourself a favor and eat and drink and hang here. Bacon slabs, Bibb salad, cornbread, organic stouts. Heaven for a moment
Wade VSeptember 5, 2015Amazing space! The restaurant side is incredible. Delicious french fries and food specials. $8 dirty egg sandwich
Alex ValOctober 3, 2017Nice place with great promotions ( Monday Draft Beer 3$) and tasty food. They have a inside and beautiful outside area for parties !- Joanne ReinardAugust 6, 2016Awesome place to eat, drink, play or work. It's huge, the waiters are super nice and prices quite low. My new to go place! ❤️
The coffee shop expanded to a beautifully-designed split level open air bar. Perfect for groups. But avoid peak times.
Arjun Shivanand KannanFebruary 11, 2018Definitely get the Potatoes au gratin for brunch - the sun-dried tomato spread that comes with it is 💯
deeJanuary 22, 2023Cozy never gets overly crowded in the café section comfortable seating, and good service Baltazar pastries, house made bagels
Lady SmileFebruary 20, 2016Amazing space for an event. I went to Jameson black barrel event in the fall. Outdoor bbq with unlimited drinks! 👌🏽
Pretty sure this is the epicenter of the 'Williamsburg cool kid' scene. Coffee shop by day, lounge and club by night, awesome all the time.
Melissa MeierSeptember 17, 2016Great spot and great lattes and cold brew on draft. But all their draft beers taste or or like the lines need cleaning.- Dawn GreenfieldNovember 14, 2017The Puppy Baby Book Toy Store is dedicated to the love. Dog Toys and Play Toys for Dogs. There are few things that make your dog happier than a new toy. Read more
Andrew FurmanOctober 7, 2015Awesome coffee shop with a decent amount of seating inside and tons of benches outside. Also stumptown cold brew 👌
Holly DowellJune 20, 2015The Brooklyn Fog is delicious and they have good croissants. The space is airy and lovely, with lots of seating and big windows.- SukiAugust 6, 2017Nice to work here in the morning, grab a drink after work, and party at night on the weekends. Moscow Mules are great!
Brian Grogan Jr.January 17, 2016Great coffee, nice elevated seating area with views of the Williamsburg bridge
Incredible chai and indoor/outdoor vibes. Great neighborhood spot
Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Fun menu and vibe - great for when you're looking for a casual spot with friends. Have a solid brunch menu.
Dan GeigerMay 9, 2016Gets packed, as large as it is, but still manages to be a good time. The Dirty Egg Sandwich is your best bet for brunch.
Unique and trendy place with great coffee, snacks, food and a half decent bar to cater all your needs from early AM to late PM.
Lane RettigApril 15, 2016This is like the lost boys land of coffee shops. It's not really a coffee shop. It's an arcade meets bar meets restaurant meets lounge meets event space meets coworking meets... Okay. Good coffee.
Evan WaldenFebruary 28, 2016Great place to work. Also a fun place to bring a group when it's nice out for ping pong and games on the back patio.
