Kings Coffee Anniversary Party.

We received this flyer from Kings Coffee and thought we'd share it.  The 4th of August will be their one year anniversary serving in their space, 37 Carroll Street.  To mark the occasion they'll be giving out complimentary refreshments with coffee purchases between 9:30am and 6:30pm.  Not sure if you can read the flyer above but the bottom says "Thank you for all your support thus far and we look forward to bonding with you over brews and extractions". Sweet.

New(ish) Coffee in Columbia Waterfront.

Isn't it strange how sometimes in Brooklyn you can live or work right around the block from a storefront and not come across it until it's been open for months?  Have you visited or seen Kings Coffee on Carroll Street between Columbia and Van Brunt? It's a very residential street so it's kind of a hidden gem but they've been open for almost a year now!  We got the scoop from the gentleman (pictured below) about where this place came from.  They apparently learned their craft from an old- school brew master (not sure if that's an actual term or if we just made that up, probably the latter) in Bensonhurst that wanted to close shop but pass along his trade secrets first.  It's a really cute simple spot with good coffee.  Check it out if you're around that area! Their hours are Mon-Fri 8am-8pm  and 9am-7pm on Sat and Sunday.
