Name: Root Hill Cafe Location: 262 Fourth Ave, Brooklyn, NY Rating: 3
As advisable as a visit to Root Hill Cafe might be, walking all the way down Fourth Avenue from Atlantic is not. Not only it is it a longer walk than it may seem on the map, but it’s not very scenic, [...]

A few years ago, I may have been excited about a trip to New York, but it wouldn’t have been for the coffee. I (along with many others) have long lamented New York’s lack of good coffee, especially for a city of its size, density and culinary reputation. Nature abhors a vacuum, however, and [...]

My botched attempt to cup coffee with the New York Coffee Society put me in a deep-seated funk so I took the opportunity the next day to seek out my coffee namesake, Café Grumpy. Of [...]

On my recent trip to Oslo Coffee, I bought half pound each of their Thor and decaf espresso blends. They were reasonably priced at, I think, $5.50/half pound. The Thor was decent, but not truly impressive. Try as I might, I just couldn’t coax [...]
