Streetlevel: New Coffeehouse for Atlantic

Categories: Streetlevel

139%20Atlantic.jpg
Lost City recently posted about all the empty storefronts on Atlantic near Henry Street, and we mentioned that Abitare on Henry is closing, but it looks like a new coffee house is opening called 139 @tlantic. As noted by Brooklyn Heights Blog, the place will offer “fair trade coffee, live entertainment, interesting furniture, contemporary artifacts and a unique atmosphere.” GMAP

this is such a weird building. I heard it is owned by a cult. True?

Arn't the rents very high over there? Didn't Brownstoner publish a map with Brooklyn commercial rents a couple days ago?

Those rocks look like a "slip and fall" lawsuit waiting to happen.

I think it's owned by a cult.
Either that or the cartoon characters The Flintstones.

I heard the building is just owned by an eccentric dude.

ROB: Hasn't your mother told you? You WERE abducted by a cult. And it's the rest of us who are now paying the price.

PS. Can I have the bluestones when they clean this place up?

yes, he's the cult leader. Used to run a company called barewood, who knows what that was a front for?

No, it's not owned by a cult, Minard! The guy is eccentric, very. But also pretty interesting. I'm curious to see what they do there. And yes, better change those stones to something less lawsuit worthy!

This was the art studio years ago? The retail stores on this part of Atlantic typically don't last long due to a lack of foot traffic.

Yes, Vinnie, The Chip Shop, Sahadi's and other places are a flash in the pan. Sure to be out of business in a couple of days.

The most dangerous building entrance in the city. Seriously is that some kind of violation? Plus it looks like shit. At least the scaffolding finally came down after years.
