Of all the DUMBO coffee shops on our list, usagi might just take the cake when it comes to dreamy aesthetics. The Japanese-inspired cafe is a mix of a bookstore, a gallery, and a coffee shop. But with so much going on, the cafe is still minimal, spacious, and cozy.
You’ll often find the seats filled with folks clicking away on their laptops, nursing delicious matcha lattes, and surrounded by colorful books. It truly is as dreamy as it sounds, usagi is an easy place to love. Make sure to swing by on a rainy day and secure a spot near the window facing the street, it’s one of the best coffee shops in DUMBO for people-watching.
