Best Williamsburg Coffee Shops

Best Williamsburg Coffee Shops to Work or Study

I lived in Williamsburg for a year and I never need to go coffee shops like I do right now.  And I haven’t thought of writing about best Williamsburg coffee shops. I used to live in this building that has so many space and amenities with a beautiful East River view. Fatih used to push me to go somewhere in the neighborhood all the time. I refused to go because I knew my fancy Manhattan view days come to end eventually. 🙁 I enjoyed the view as much as possible. Every bit of second.

But of course, I knew so many Williamsburg coffee shops and I study or work in every single one of them so I know the necessary facts about them all.

For Chit Chat

1.  Gotan

Wifi: √
Outdoor: X
Gluten-Free: They have really serious stuff. You can also have lunch here. Always smells delicious.
Con: I have experienced the cheapest behavior ever in this place. I prefer tea time to time to not become a coffee addict. I refresh my tea water in almost every coffee shops  Because tea get cold in the second cup. When I ask if I can get new hot water, the woman at the counter told me I have to pay for new hot water. Never heard such a thing.

2.  Toby’s Estate

Wifi: X
Outdoor: X (just a bench)
Gluten-Free: X
