How Coffee Shops Became the Best Places to Drink Wine, Beer, and Cocktails | Bon Appétit

"Exceptional espresso made from a rotating roster of roasters sits alongside a well-curated drinks program of cocktails, wine, beer and amaro; the wine list includes local natural producers like Liten Buffel as well as bottles from France and Slovenia, while the constantly changing beer selection leans on New York craft brewers. Seasonal spritzes are a highlight even in deep snow, snacks make it easy to linger all day, and the relaxed, bouncer-free, TV-free corner space offers a chill vibe. The owners intentionally lean on higher-margin alcoholic offerings to keep coffee affordable, making it as appealing a spot for an evening drink as for daytime espresso." - ByAlex Delany
