"To put it simply, you haven’t really been to DUMBO if you haven’t gotten your caffeine fix at Brooklyn Roasting. While the chain has other stores (even a few in Manhattan), their gorgeous headquarters is responsible for keeping DUMBO creatives properly caffeinated. With beans from all over the world, ground on site, their brews are served up alongside an assortment of pastries and sandwiches. Come for the coffee, stay for the conversations with the awesome baristas, and leave with their brilliantly branded swag." - Column Five
