The best coffee shops in DUMBO

Updated September 2026. 7 places.

Across the East River from Manhattan, there’s an adorable Brooklyn neighborhood with a silly little name that New Yorkers can’t help but love. I can never resist a good DUMBO coffee shops, and after years in this city, I’ve tried them all. DUMBO is full of cobblestone streets winding to and fro, taking guests past former warehouses and factories that have been turned into stores and restaurants.

Once a hub for aspiring artists, DUMBO never really lost its allure and still attracts both locals and tourists alike. And like the rest of the world, this neighborhood runs on caffeine.
