This roaster's namesake is a nod to Central Europe's first coffee house, The Blue Bottle. Each cup is served within 48 hours after the organic beans are carefully roasted to ensure optimal flavors.

Amazing, quality espresso, friendly and knowledgable baristas, and a great ambience. I loved watching the multiple pour-overs they had going once it got busy.
Date Night Is...April 30, 2013
Planning a Date Night outing in the 'burg? Fuel up with an amazing coffee at Blue Bottle and then wander N. 6th for some window shopping. (TIP: their New Orleans Iced is not-to-be-missed!)

A New York branch of the famed San Francisco coffee roaster. In addition to the typical coffee options, try the New Orleans-style iced coffee brewed with chicory.

Seriously good coffee shop, try the espresso, served with a small glass of sparkling water, baristas move quickly tho lines can be long on weekends. Great whole beans for sale for home too

Without any doubt one of New York's best coffee places. Located in Williamsburg, Blue Bottle is the perfect place to get a good iced latte. We also recommend their New Orleans coffee ;)

Got your latte? Add a sweet treat and try the Brooklyn Bootleg S’mores, made with house-made fleur de sel–speckled graham crackers, chocolate ganache and moonshine-spiked marshmallow. Read more

Liked the interior and the facade of this small coffee place which is mostly enjoyable when it's sunny and the door is open. Coffee was good and the staff was very polite and friendly.

Serious coffee drinkers only need apply or need wait in line. Worth it for the best brew in town and super fresh breakfast items. Soaked strawberries with granola or French toast were amazing.

Crack. Crack coffee. Crack hot chocolate. Crack tea. Crack espresso. Crack pastries. Crack chocolate. Crack sugar. Crack flat whites. Crack. Crack I say. Crack.

Good spot for excellent coffee and people watching! It gets very crowded (and sometimes tourist-ey) over weekends. This location is much bigger than the Blue Bottle in Rockefeller center

lovely experience similar to any other blue bottle location. pop over for a pour over or cold brew while wandering around williamsburg for the day

Gets super crowded to work in but when all the tourists leave, the long tables can be a nice getaway. Coffee is always good and strong. It's worth the $4.

A small trek from Manhattan but it's worth it if you are a coffee nerd and need to have Japanese slow-drip coffee (cold brew) or syrupy espresso shot. Great in-house baked goods program, too.
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014
Coffee is roasted on vintage gear and served within 48 hours of roasting. Iced coffee is courtesy of mad-scientist-style contraptions imported from Kyoto. Read more

Drip Ice coffee is on my top list. It s really strong for me even I drink coffee every day. You can feel the heart beating faster than normal after finished a cup. But can't make me stop loving it!
allisonAugust 18, 2014
The best, strongest, and most expensive iced coffee in Williamsburg. Get New Orleans style and try a s'more too.
Joan ParkSeptember 1, 2014
How they make the New Orleans iced coffee with soy milk taste like chocolate is a mystery...Granola is sure to satisfy my sweets craving and great addition to mason jar collection.
Benjamin JohanssonAugust 8, 2014
This is a Brooklyn must do! Great coffee, homemade granola, beautiful pour over bags and over all great great coffee.
AthJune 19, 2017
The cappuccino is fantastic. You can find bbc in multiple locations in ny but this was the first bbc! but unfortunately they don't have wifi
Marcos SaderMay 5, 2016
Huge place but still takes them 15 minutes to make a coffee. There is only one bathroom so you have to lineup for that too and there are no outlets to charge your phone. 👎
Kate SommersAugust 18, 2015
Their pour over is of course delicious. Try the New Orleans coffee for something different.
Valerie SecklerAugust 15, 2012
Ethiopian Tuktant coffee was a pleasant surprise after an undistinguished cup of Three Africans, two days earlier in May 2012. Knowledgeable baristas man a pour-over bar. Funky music. Eclectic crowd.

Enjoy the powerful coffee bean smell while waiting on line for one of the best iced-coffees in the city. Pair it with a double chocolate cookie.

Blue Bottle roasts their coffee in a huge, beautifully converted one floor industrial building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that does double duty as a full-service retail bakery & coffee operation. Read more

Take a break from shopping and refuel at one of New York's great transplants, Stumptown Coffee. It originated in Portland and gets points for both quality and style.

Try the Brooklyn Bootleg S’mores, w/ house-made fleur de sel–speckled graham crackers, rich chocolate ganache & springy, moonshine-spiked marshmallow. They’re one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more

Good cold brew in two flavors, New Orleans (w chicory) & Single Origin. Too bad there's only one size - get less ice to get more for your money!

If you are looking for a caffe latte that will change your life, Blue Bottle is the place to go. Read more

Single origin iced coffee is the way to go. Enjoy the fresh air.
Alan LewinJuly 4, 2016
Smooth espresso shots, served with seltzer water. It's not a big lounge place, but it's clearly 'coffee first'.
Danielle MavealAugust 20, 2014
The best New Orleans iced coffee. Packed on the weekends - perfect weekday mornings! Love the open air seating.
AdleyFebruary 26, 2018
Cool place with good coffee. Nice for working or just chilling...
Justin OrdovezaSeptember 1, 2014
Get the Orleans style coffee. It's the ideal cup of coffee, it's a total game changer.

The New Orleans cold brew will leave you jittery til noon, in the best of ways. Add a mason jar (or a full bag) of the delicious sea-salted granola.
Ina LiApril 6, 2015
Original blue bottle from San Francisco. Outdoor sitting for sun and cut dogs!
Lisa WFebruary 20, 2013
One of the best latte and pour over prepared coffee I've found. Not a ton of seating location, but roomy space to stand and warm up with your coffee.
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
There's not much seating, so it's best to get your coffee and snack (mmmm, s'mores) to go. Beans are roasted in a vintage Probat roaster in back. Read more
Amy ShackelfordFebruary 28, 2015
They take their coffee seriously and it's well worth it. Quiet, small coffee shop. Don't meet up with friends for a loud hang out--not the place.
Brandon 🍣🍶☕️January 26, 2017
Excellent house espresso that goes will with a glass of sparkling water.

The New Orleans cold brew coffee is a crowd favorite, but it's far too sweet for this guy. I go with the Kyoto cold brew.
HolidayMay 15, 2017
Spacious location. Try the red miso cookie (vegan and gf) with your iced New Orleans - nothing like it!
Frank RimalovskiFebruary 20, 2012
In store roasting, ground to order and hand brewed make for a long wait for a great cup of coffee. Cool space too. Would like to see better baked goods selection. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Ms HeleneDecember 13, 2012
Great coffee, deep flavor, right temperature, etc. Small soy latte $4-ish? Can't recall but always worth it. Roasting onsite and catch a 'cupping' session for full appreciation.
Peter LadaSeptember 4, 2015
Best of the West Coast, the recent corporate turn has not ruined the quality. The cakes and cookies are amazing as well.
Brigita GrineDecember 29, 2017
Lovely minimalist interiors, quick service and good quality coffee.
Graham LindnerAugust 29, 2015
Stick to the single origin offerings or the New Orleans if you've never had one. Long lines on the weekend.
TinoNovember 9, 2015
Pretty crowded but their coffee is a must to take back home with you.

Hands down one of the very finest coffee shops in NYC, with great pour-overs, NOLA-style chicory iced coffee in summer, and pastries to die for.
Nate SApril 2, 2017
Sacrilegious to say this, but: skip this place. Used to be Mecca, but so many new/better places around here now. This place is for tourists and San Francisco transplants. Better coffee shops in Wburg
