Number of Slope Coffee Spots Approaches Infinity
The other day we told you about a coffee shop in the very early phases of construction on 5th Avenue and 3rd Street, very near to Cafe Martin. And now a tipster tells us another coffee shop, specifically a Swedish cafe, has just opened at 186 5th Avenue, between Berkeley and Lincoln. (This is just…
The other day we told you about a coffee shop in the very early phases of construction on 5th Avenue and 3rd Street, very near to Cafe Martin. And now a tipster tells us another coffee shop, specifically a Swedish cafe, has just opened at 186 5th Avenue, between Berkeley and Lincoln. (This is just a block away from the newcomer Venticinque.) Here’s Park Slope has all the details. As our tipster says, “The number of coffee shops in Park Slope seems to have doubled in the last couple years.” Well, Park Slope is known for its breeding! GMAP
More info on the shop between 3rd and 4th on 5th Ave (the old Serene Rose space):
The shop will be a yogurt shop that manufactures strained fresh yogurt (greek style) and frozen yogurt on premises along with other yogurt based goods.
Coffee will be served on premises, however it is not a traditional coffee shop.
Sitting at the windows of a cafe watching the street, that is peace, man.

Rob, you often mention stay-at-home dads in your diatribes about PS types but I don’t see many of them at all.
well that part was kind of a joke… and ew @ the thought of a “cafe society”… let’s not go there.. please
*rob*
We’re approaching cafe society here in our little slice of heaven, Park Slope.
Rob, you often mention stay-at-home dads in your diatribes about PS types but I don’t see many of them at all. Otherwise I understand what you’re saying very well.
Yeah, we’ve been waiting for one to open along the Nostrand Ave. corridor of Crown Heights forever. There is one in progress on Pacific, off Nostrand, and that’s been in construction for an eternity. Whoever finally opens around here will coin money. A few of you, come over here, please. Everyone – oldtimers, newcomers, and visitors will thank you, and be in there, spending money.

Why so many and in virtually the same area?
because there are literally THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of “creative professionals”, “writers”, “artists”, and stay at home dads in that immediate area who need a place a place to sit down with their laptop and look important. duh. heavens forbid they wrote in solitude without being seen by others for the creative geniuses that they are.
or maybe people just like coffee. i guess they buying it if these places are thriving.

Why so many and in virtually the same area? I used to live right there (Berkeley/5th, 2 yrs ago) and I never felt a lack of coffee places then so wonder how many of these can stay in business. On the other hand, my new ‘hood of Bay Ridge is seriously lacking in cofee shops/cafes – won’t some brave soul please open one up on 5th Ave or 3rd Ave. in the 70’s?
I can see why! It’s nuts how many there are!
