Swallow Cafe

Some of the best coffee to grab when getting off the Morgan L, and I'm in a pinch for time. The punch card really had me in a chokehold when I was working in the area. Cream cheese bagel is loaded although pricy, it's New York...I still stop by time to time for a latte. They never have burned my milk for my lattes and that's a huge plus for me.

Pros: The music is QUIET and not top 40 songs. Every person there is quietly working on their laptop. I feel like it’s a place I can actually concentrate and get work done. The cold brew is very good. Coffee in general is good. There are outlets. Prices are as they say they are on the menu board with tax included. Cons: By the time I get there in the afternoon they have minimal pastries or bagels left. They have a bathroom but I have to say it’s pretty gross.

Stopped by for a cold brew on a 95+ degree day and it felt great. The dim lighting and the cool AC was so nice on such a hot day and really helped me to relax. Cold brew is great and the atmosphere is cool with a bunch of repurposed furniture and light fixtures. A few people had laptops so it seems like the wifi is good enough to get work done. Just the perfect place to stop for a quick drink or to hang out and chat.

Coffee shops that only accept cash are indicative of a time gone by. I adore this house. I easily got lost in the artwork on the walls. There was NO MUSIC playing. Perfection. The attendant Nikita offered me a pastry for free as they were about to close and there were still a few left. I chose the gluten free iced lemon loaf. I also purchased a cold brew iced coffee which had me humming well into the night. Nikita also told me about thee artist, a puppeteer who was doing a show in October that I might be interested in seeing. I told them I’d bear it in mind and if I was around hopefully be able to check it out. I sincerely recommend this haven of caffeine in Williamsburg.

Stopped in to grab coffee and it was a nice shop. Light frills, in the cut style coffee place with delicious lates and reclaimed style wood furniture. The day we went the fans were going and it had a warm airy vibe to it. I could see it being a nice out of the sun place for people to get work done or chill with some friends. It's cool, but not so cool that you feel uncomfortable. Definitely enjoyed the designs that engulfed the building - it added to the experience of the place. Stop in and enjoy.
