Brooklyn roaster in a 1900 Navy Yard power plant, 90% Fair Trade.

Former Brooklyn Brewery partner Jim Munson started the company in a Williamsburg loft in 2009 with chief roaster Michael Pollack. Roasting now happens in Building 123 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a former power plant and the yard's first LEED-certified building.

Fuel-efficient Loring Peregrine and Kestrel roasters produce the coffees, and 90% of them are Fair Trade certified. Beans ship in steel tins.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

At this shop

The shop sits on the ground floor of a pale stone building on Clinton Street, with a glass door and a tall window onto the tree-lined sidewalk. Inside, a counter clad in bands of painted color runs across the room under exposed black ductwork, and a row of stools faces the window. Walls are painted green and yellow.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
