What I wrote thereFold it away

Following in the footsteps of its namesake Mae West, the West Coffeehouse & Bar continues pushing boundaries. How many Brooklyn coffee shops transform into the most popular late night destination after sunset? I can think of only one and it is the West. That is why I chose to include it on this list of the best coffee in Brooklyn.

Beloved coffee shop by day, the West offers pastries and a complete coffee menu, plus one of the best outdoor patios for getting some work done or catching up with a friend. By night, the West turns into a full service bar with beer on tap and creative cocktails. With live performances keeping patrons entertained until their 2 AM closing time, it’s not hard to see why this was the #1 Lyft destination in {2018}.
