If it isn’t our most adorable coffee bar, it’s certainly the smallest. At 266 square feet, Dean Street is inspired by both Tokyo’s tucked-away kissaten and New York’s tiny-but-industrious storefronts. 

We opened this coffee bar in February of 2014 on a peaceful corner in Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill neighborhood, and maybe it’s our size, but we feel especially close to everyone who comes in. Designed by DCR and Super Paprika, the entire cafe is inlaid with warm wood finishes, like a jewelry box for coffee. Ultra-economical by design, it has everything it needs, and no more.

Baristas serve a selection of blend and single origin drip coffees, iced coffees, and pastries from our Brooklyn kitchen. Espresso drinks are made on a custom La Marzocco, outfitted in damask fabric that was modeled after an armchair in Marcel Proust’s bedroom. (It’s the coziest machine we’ve ever met.)
