"Two patrons of Bed-Stuy’s the Civil Service Cafe were seriously injured Thursday morning when a car jumped the curb and smashed through the shop’s plate-glass window, according to firefighters and witnesses of the crash. The driver was headed south on Nostrand Avenue just before 8:40 a.m. when he apparently lost control and plowed his silver Dodge Challenger into the cafe, located at 279 Nostrand Ave, at the corner of Clifton Place, police said. Civil Service, which opened in 2013 according to its Instagram, is a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood, frequently bustling with locals working on laptops and chatting on benches outside. It is known for its latte art and features high-tech coffee-brewing apparatuses, along with a rotating menu of salads and all-day breakfast fare." - Noah Hurowitz
