From the Willowtown website: “The boundary of Willowtown is from Joralemon Street to Atlantic Avenue and from both sides of Hicks Street to Furman Street between Joralemon and Atlantic.”
It’s basically southwest Brooklyn Heights.
Out of the way cafes like this are gold. When you find them, hold on with both hands (like, both hands for dirnking multiple cups of coffee or tea at once I mean, not actually literally hold on to the store, that’d just be silly. Okay, I’m finished, thanks for reading, see you all in another thread. I wonder what other threads there will be today? Hope something good, maybe something I know something about. Well guess I’ll go check out the OT now. Bye.)
Minard;
Well, I am a bit grumpy today. Kinda fed up with the Brownstoner mindset. If I have time today, I’ll write a rant about it in the OT. That post yesterday about the “restoration” on Waverly Ave. made my blood pressure go up.

Rob – stop hijacking other people’s logins!
I think it looks really charming.
How could it be cuter for pete’s sake?
Are people grumpy this morning? benson?
I walked by the other day. Looks a little like a couple of 20-somethings said, Lets open a cafe! I say more power to them. It’s not too cute, but then again it’s not manufactured cute either.
I know they were asking about 3k a month for the smaller spaces which isn’t a lay up for a cafe with no traffic. And I know the doctor will be an OB/GYN — and I gotta think there’s money in babies in this area.
There’s a section of BH called Willowtown? What are the borders?
There is a small residential corridor along Duffield and Concord Streets. I always wondered what that was called.

It’s a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. I hope it does well!
These retail spaces have been hoarded by the Pinnacle group (who owns the building) for years. They’ve claimed they’re unrentable, but in reality, many potential renters inquired, only to be turned away. I’m thrilled to see that Pinnacle is finally letting businesses in.
An Italian restaurant is scheduled to open by the end of the year on the corner, and the owners of this cafe said they heard a doctor’s office and salon will be moving in soon too.
Cute = looks like the walls have accumulated 100 years of farts on them, even though the place is brand new.
