Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge debuts on Avenue B

Photos by Stacie Joy

Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge is now open at 167 Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street.

As EVG contributor Stacie Joy reported a few weeks back, Lucky Bar owner Abby Ehmann (above) and Brooklyn Roasting Company founder Jim Munson are behind this venture.

A refresher:
"Hekate Café and Elixir Lounge will be a warm space infused with feminine energy, serving coffee and espresso drinks, specialty teas, and magical elixirs. There will also be interesting merchandise for sale with an emphasis on the mystical."
In a storefront that previously housed a dry cleaners, the new business is across the street from Lucky, the bar Ehmann opened in September 2016.

For now, Hekate is serving up coffee drinks daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.     
Then! After 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, there will be "resident witches" on hand for tarot card readings and to answer questions while the shop gets into its coffee groove and figures out the work-in-progress magical elixirs. (Ehmann invites customers to join them for tastings and creating.)

Hekate will also host an array of special evening events, including art and photo openings. Check out the events page at this link.

This is very cool, and just what the neighborhood needs more of, a locally owned interesting place to stop in! Congratulations and best wishes for success!

yay feminine energy! Looking forward. And, it's hard to believe Lucky opened in 2016, it feels like such a fixture.

Abby has always supported the neighborhood at Lucky Bar by hosting lots of events organized by locals who need a space to gather. So, let's support her in this fun, new venture by dropping in to spend some $ and wish her well.

It's great to see a unique take on a shop we have many of here in the EV (a coffee shop). Even better, it's replacing another type of shop we have many of (dry cleaners). I'll be in for a coffee and a witch's brew

Go Abby. So versatile in her entrepreneurial ventures, this is just a little bit different from her club parties that had names like Spunkbubble.
