It goes without saying that the New York City coffee shop scene has exploded over the last few years. New Yorkers, and visitors, seem to be choosing craft coffee over mass-produced corporate coffee in vast numbers. Even with notable forerunners in the caffeine mecca of NYC, such as Stumptown Coffee and Starbucks, the number of small batch roasters and cafés continues to grow. Craft coffee has become the norm in Manhattan. Across the East River in Brooklyn, cafés are popping up left and right. With that, you won’t have a hard time finding a place to sit down, relax, snap a pic and enjoy a hand crafted beverage. Reporter: Tesa Pesic Notable Contributor: Plant Theory Creamer
