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 fills the ground floor of a pale blue clapboard building on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, with glass across the whole front looking onto the street. The counter along the left wall is striped in white, yellow, green and blue, and a wood bar with stools runs down the opposite wall under lit sconces of colored glass. A lounge of rounded armchairs sits at the back of the room.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
