Adam Saucy opened Odd Fox in Greenpoint in November 2016. He took the name from Aesop's fables, where the fox is his favorite, and from British pubs named for an animal and an object. A miniature Lego model of the café sits on the counter.
Beans come from Parlor Coffee in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Saucy says its roasters listen when he tells them what he loves or hates. A pressed-tin ceiling hung with round woven pendant lamps runs the length of the narrow room, and the back opens onto a tree-shaded garden with picnic tables.
