Here's what to expect via the shop's Instagram account: " ... we will be providing you with a real coffee experience, not a corner store coffee. Elegant incredibly flavored coffee with latte art, pour overs and some of your finest roasts."
Roasted NYC takes over the space from the weed-related NYC Kind Cafe ... which took over for the short-lived Paint Puff "N" Peace last year.
Coffee seems to be a hot item around here now. Poetica Coffee opened on the SW corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place in April. Kuppi Coffee Company is in the works for 82 St. Mark's Place just west of First Avenue. And mainstay Porto Rico Importing Co. is right around the corner on St. Mark's Place. (OK, and MUD is near enough on Ninth Street near Second Avenue.)

Coffee replacing a weed store sounds like a win
ReplyDeletePorto Rico is family owned multi generational business and is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and weed (not a terrible combo) are the new banks and cvs's that sign is so weed shop i wonder if it's just a clever wink wink either way it's another business that's tourist oriented not needed by residents :(
ReplyDeleteYou’re actually completely wrong it’s %100 a neighborhood coffee shop you have no idea what your talking about :(
Delete2nd Ave: Kona Coffee, The Bean, 782, Le Fournil, Poetica, The Plant Shed , La Cabra..and right off 2nd Ave: Coffee Project, another 782, Butterdose, Elsewhere Coffee, two more 782, and 3rd Ave: Librae, Mud kiosk, Aster place kiosk, Bluestone, Starbucks, Felix, Pete’s, the other Bean, Blank Street, Think.. I need some coffee before listing the rest….before we get past 1st Ave..
ReplyDeleteExcluding Blank Street, how much would you charge if I asked you to read those over the phone to me in a sexy voice?
ReplyDeletePorto Rico is the best. Kudos to the rest but Porto Rico's prices are not only reasonable, getting bulk coffee and tea there can be an education since there is such a selection. Even more to choose from at the Bleecker Street store. I will never understand why people don't get bulk coffee and tea since it is so much better and cheaper than the prepackaged stuff and with much less waste involved.
ReplyDeleteYes, Porto Rico for bulk coffee(I just came from there) but I also sometimes want to sit and watch passersby or see neighbors for conversation, even read a book and have a another patron start a conversation about it. It used to be, not so long ago, coffee shops were a gathering place, a place for conversation and community. Now one is lucky to find a seat not occupied by someone attached to a computer and headphones for hours at a time. Some have even taken away 2 tops and 4 tops in favor of library tables with rows of computer gazers where no one can sit for a conversation. And most are really designed for take out customers and have no intention of being a gathering place as long as the money flows.
