I didn't get anything fancy when I visited the Devoción in Dumbo. I'm mostly leaving a review because I love this shop's interior design. I stopped in on a chilly Sunday morning a couple weeks ago for a simple drip coffee. I enjoy Devoción beans and they're generally my go-to for Colombian coffee, so it seemed like a safe, "tried and true" option that day. And as usual, their coffee met my expectations.
The best way I can describe the location's setup is a cozy cabin in the woods meets a neighborhood coffee shop. They have wooden furniture, including small tables for two, and a long counter with unique pastries on display; they have a couch and a coffee table. Some of the walls are exposed brick. All of these features can be found in any hipster hangout. But this Devoción also has a lot of greenery hanging from the ceilings and walls, beautifully arranged. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the store's design is the bench formed from a log. It blends in with its surroundings and is surprisingly comfortable, given that it's just a tree trunk that's been sanded down and shaped into seating.
I wouldn't go too far out of my way to return to this Devoción (there's one much closer to me), but for the ambience alone I'd choose it over other coffee spots in the area.
