Cafés and Coffee
Our favorite espresso bar is Milk and Pull, but Cup of Brooklyn is a bit closer if you're in a rush (or if you're heading to the J subway line).
A block away – Tucum is a nice café to hang out inside or outside at for a pastry in the morning or snack in the afternoon.

If you're heading into the city on the J line, this is a nice pitstop to grab some coffee and a bagel. Since it's right on Broadway, there's a lot of noise and activity outside, but you can still get work done if you bring a laptop and find a space indoors.

The doughnuts here are incredible. We like the glazed braid and coffee ones the best, but they're all great. It's takeout only and opens at 10am. Caroline's is just around the corner from home, and it's on the way to the Ralph subway stop (C line).
