One of Williamsburg’s top coffee shops, BUDDIES, was founded by married couple Rachel and Taylor Nawrocki during the pandemic with the simple goal of providing a place where people could slow down and enjoy their coffee.
The menu is short, sweet, and to the point (and it’s not by accident). The whole idea behind BUDDIES was to create a space that encouraged conversations and engagement. By offering a simple menu folks are more likely to ask for recommendations and alternatives and spark a chat.
Expect laid-back vibes, satisfying cups of coffee, and a friendly conversation. What’s more, this trendy Williamsburg coffee. The cold brew is some of the best in Brooklyn, not too acidic but still strong.
