5. Blue Bottle Coffee, 160 Berry Street, Williamsburg
Founded in Oakland, California, Blue Bottle Coffee’s mission is to bring coffee back to its fresh, delicious state. They only serve coffee that has been roasted less than 48 hours prior to being brewed and use traditional, small batch brewing methods. Though they have several locations in New York City, the Williamsburg café is the only one where you can ogle the Kyoto-style Oji cold press coffee makers (on the right), which brew coffee one drop at a time for eighteen hours.
