Brooklyn Roasting Company Expanding to Flushing

Brooklyn Roasting Company, the popular Dumbo cafe and coffee roaster, is opening a second location at 200 Flushing Avenue, off Washington. That’s the old Navy Yard Cocktail Lounge space, now a very glassy storefront. The Brooklyn Roasting Company plans to open a brewed coffee and espresso bar along with a wholesale distribution depot and commissary. (The owner is even working on a new espresso blend for this site.) It also plans to set up a bike service hub, with air and tools to start. Construction should begin this month and the space should open in early 2013. This January there was news that a Dunkin Donuts and a Subway were also moving into this space, but there hasn’t been any sign of those new tenants. GMAP
