Greenpoint roastery cafe opened by consumer tech YouTuber David Cogen.
Cogen, who makes the YouTube channel The Unlockr, opened Coffee Check on Green Street in August 2024 and set aside about 1,000 square feet of the new cafe as a video studio for rent. The roaster sits in the room, with beans roasted a few feet from the bar, and ModCup and Driftaway beans are sold alongside.
A live-edge wooden table runs most of the length of the long, narrow room, opposite a counter with a fluted wood front. The ceiling is painted black and the brick walls white.
