Worth it, says Antonina. This Portland-based coffee brand serves some of the best coffee in Brooklyn out of a repurposed fire house.

How much more New York does it get than cobblestone streets and a mid 1800’s firehouse? Not much, and that is why Stumptown No. 12 cracks the list of the best Brooklyn coffee shops. This Portland-based coffee brand serves some of the best coffee in Brooklyn out of a repurposed fire house.

I find myself returning for their seasonal lavender matcha latte more than any other drink on the menu. The presentation is stellar and the drink itself is even better. This location also sells King David’s Tacos, some of the best breakfast tacos in Brooklyn.
