An Artisanal Food Tour of Brooklyn
Brooklyn Roasting Company
Run by former Brooklyn Brewery partner Jim Munson, The Brooklyn Roasting Company provides drag-ass, bleary-eyed DUMBO office workers with Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, and Organic certified and sustainable coffees.
So if you’re doing tourist time near the Fulton Ferry Landing and Brooklyn Bridge Park, stop into the café for a cold brewed high-strength iced coffee, or a BQE (always under construction) espresso, made with a frequently tweaked blend of Brazilian and Guatemalan beans. And since the space also houses a full production facility and wholesale distribution depot, you can view those beans being roasted in small batches, packaged in recycled paper bags, and carried off on bicycles and bio diesel-powered vans. Très Brooklyn!
