Coffee BrewHaHa in the blogosphere - what’s your opinion?

Josh Guttman | November 28, 2007 

There’s been some chatter on local blogs about the new coffee houses opening in the Boerum Hill area.  Gowanus Lounge posted about the new Brooklyn Bean that is opening at Fourth Avenue and Carroll Street.  Brownstoner also posted about it, saying it’s an offshoot of Cuppa Cuppa in the East Village.  Gowanus poses the question “is Brooklyn big enough to have two Brooklyn Beans or is an Espresso War brewing?”  The real question, in my mind, is how many coffee houses can the neighborhood sustain?  By my estimation, there is nearly a coffee house on every other block through Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and into Park Slope.  It seems that I’m alerted to someone’s new fav weekly.  I enjoyed The Tea House on Court for a while, before it became over-run with mommies and strollers.  Sweet Melissa’s a block away is a nice spot for dessert after a movie.  Some of my friends make up part of the cult following of Victory over on State and Hoyt.  The Flying Saucer on Atlantic has a certain ethos that I enjoy from time to time, and it’s a nice place to work with free wi-fi.  Mule is another one on Fourth Ave that provides a nice atmosphere.  D’Amicos is a perennial local favorite.  And there are several others I’m not mentioning.  Which of the bunch is your favorite and how many more do you think the neighborhood can support?
