StreetLevel: At the Lyceum, Coffee But no Klatsch
There hasn’t been much buzz about El Cafetin, the coffee shop at the Brooklyn Lyceum, despite the fact that it’s been open for a few months now. The café traffics in a standard assortment of brews, espresso drinks, and snacks, and it’s outfitted with a ragtag assortment of furniture (see photo on jump). Even though…
There hasn’t been much buzz about El Cafetin, the coffee shop at the Brooklyn Lyceum, despite the fact that it’s been open for a few months now. The café traffics in a standard assortment of brews, espresso drinks, and snacks, and it’s outfitted with a ragtag assortment of furniture (see photo on jump). Even though the space gets great natural light and has free wi-fi, it’s often deserted after the morning crush—surprising for a stretch with a not-so-small army of freelancers and very few coffee shop options. El Cafetin’s owner says he’s looking to raise the business’s profile by offering to-be-determined classes in the coming months. Think that’s the jolt this java joint needs? GMAP
well since all these words have gone by, i was coming home tonight and heard this great music, some world class Jazz. The place was great. An intimate space with comfy chairs and tables and great beers. The coffee was good (fiancee’) and a friendly face at the counter helps put one at ease.
I am kind of ashamed for the people or person who has ads on their site for a 650k two bedroom condo in fort green tower or for 475 sterling condos or calls 19th street south slope. then they post snarky remarks. Go back to Starbucks (oh gee are they closing shops because they are all the same and are missing the individualized feel that people crave that is in a real neighborhood business) or the upper east side for your perfectly decorated space.
a space owned owned by an actual person who seems to care about the community (bought it 11 years ago, where were you then?) not some corporate bridge and tunnel nabobs who WANT MORE ADVERTISING. we need more advertising in Park Slope from locals like Brooklyn Industries whose stuff is all from china (that’s real brooklyn).
You, Mr., Ms. Brown Stoner (Gabby the condo booster “It’s tough to beat this new Scarano-designed condo…â€) whose web site is a real estate page, kind of like the Brownstone site its self, have too much cash on your hands and too much free time as well but certainly have made a good business of dissing one of the things that could make your neighborhood experience not the Ratner express. I wonder if you work for Corcoran (quoting, referring Corcoran’s year-end report more than once).
Maybe that’s what you want and maybe you will escape the housing bust and Ratners thing will make you some cash.
I doubt you support Develop Don’t Destroy as your words are certainly destructive and your profile, well look for your selves..
Thanks for adding constructively to the hood.
I think the guy is a graphic designer or something. That is a fake profession, those anal tards think they know it all. Meanwhile all they are is people who could not make it as architects or artists.
Who is this guy with all the anger issues? I think he needs to get laid. If you’re such an expert why don’t you stop posting comments and do something with your life.
hi everyone
I think you all need to get a life.
So when did this site become a sports review????? Bring it someplace else. Who cares if they like the Sox? I’ve been to the cafe since its opened. Its a clean place with excellent coffee and a decent variety of snacks. The owner is always friendly!I like the fact that the Lyceum has different events all the time. It has something for everyone. My advice try it out see it for yourself. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
DO IT TODAY!
What does everyone think about getting rid of A-Rod?
“As for the Red Sox thing, not a smart comment in a town that dropped out of the playoffs in the first round.”
Even if the Sox won the Series and the Yankees didn’t win a game the entire season- I could still comfortably say f-u to the Red Sox and all of their fans and their entire city.
