We’d originally relegated this story to the Daily Links post, but it’s too good not to have its own post…Apparently one of the owners of the popular coffee spot Gorilla Coffee at 97 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope rubbed the employees the wrong way so they all banded together and quit en masse, throwing the Park Slope ecosystem into disequilibrium. Evidently there are all sorts of signs posted out front with a running he-said-she-said account of the problem. From a reader: “My husband said there was line outside the door of people just freaking out and totally in crisis over the lack of coffee. I have a feeling he was one of them because I was on the other line when he called to tell me this, and he told my secretary that it was an emergency.” We also hear that Gorilla addicts have been depleting supplies at neighboring stores to ride out the current crisis. We’d be mighty appreciative if someone could send in some photos of the storefront and posted screeds…

Dave, speaking of Thai, I had some Thai liquor the other night (possibly new to the U.S. market), which I was told tasted something like rum. I was misinformed. Wish I could remember the name. Went to a great place for drinks though — Underbar at the W Hotel on Union Square.
I agree, no sugar in iced tea, but I like lemon & lime and a big sprig of mint, which is why I grow it.
Iced coffee, unlike my regular hot coffee does need some milk and sugar.
Nope… I disagree. I think iced coffee is nasty. I don’t take milk in my coffee, so maybe that’s part of it. It’s just watered down and cold. And i drink a lot of coffee.
Iced tea! Delicious. (As long as it’s not southern “Sweet Tea” which we all know is just liquid sugar)
Thai iced coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smooth, dark and sweet.
Benson:
agreed – Ilove Lemon Drop cookies – but it’s a $1./cookie there
however theres is way better than Mazzola’s on union street in Carrol Gardens
I once had BRooklyn Bread’s Baked Ziti and thought it was delish – they also make good cannoli’s
but I agree – some things are hit and miss and pricey!
iced coffee > iced tea
iced coffee > iced tea
It’s about time to switch to iced tea anyway.
