Best coffee shops in DUMBO

No. 1 on that list
Worth it
What I wrote thereFold it away

Arabica first came on my radar by way of Instagram. Found on a charming block corner, the DUMBO coffee shop offers stellar views of lower Manhattan. As if that wasn’t enough, enormous. It’s nearly impossible not to take out your phone for a photo.

The location and epic views are incredibly memorable and help make it one of the best coffee shops in DUMBO to share with out-of-town guests. The modern interior fits perfectly with the neighborhood it calls home. However, don’t assume its beautiful design is merely fancy packaging; its coffee holds its own. With in-house state-of-the-art roasting machines, you truly get to experience the freshness and boldness of their coffee.

As for the coffee, it’s roasted in-house! Securing a corner seat and catching up with an old friend over good coffee is one of the most relaxing things to do in DUMBO.
