Streetlevel: Coffee Pedlar Opens on Court Street
After a soft opening earlier this week (reported by Cobble Hill Blog), a new cafe called the Coffee Pedlar opens for real today in the former Margaret Palca Bakes space at 210 Court Street at Warren. If anyone stops in, please report back! GMAP
just had coffee there. v good. i also dislike tea lounge, i have a serious caffeine addiction, oh yeah, and i happen to have a baby. billiamsburg, why don’t you just stay at home and drink instant, you ass.
I went in for some coffee. It seems clean and well organized. Hope they keep up the good work, I love a place that is clean, it says alot. They need to have more of a variety of pastries, scones, crossiants, muffins, cakes, etc. and delcious foods that will keep people coming.It’s new and everyone looks new.
They do sell whole beans… I bought some Hair Bender.
I had a delicious latte and a yummy, molasses-y cake there on Saturday. I’m a big fan of the simple but sophisticated decor and straightforward coffee & cake offerings. Margaret Palca looked shoddy – was never tempted to sit in there, though I definitely am with Pedlar. And I never saw anyone buy Palca’s pre-cooked food. That was a lot of perishable inventory to have to keep in stock; surely a reason for their demise.
Before moving in July ’08 I lived in that neighborhood for seven years and no place turned over more often than that corner property. While I lived there I saw at least 4 different tenants, maybe more. All of them always appeared busy, yet no one seems to be able to make it work long-term.
I don’t know what the problem is, but no matter what I would not bother getting attached to the Pedlar.
The coffee here is better than most I have had in the area. tho we miss the bacon sarnies.
Does anyone know if they’re selling Stumptown whole beans?
i am a mommy and sometimes twit, have stroller and will continue to patronize all good coffeeshops until dorkwads like billiamsburg are slowly driven insane and melt into sad little puddles.
I had a cup this morning… if they keep the quality where it is, they will do great.
