7 Fantastic Coffee Shops in Clinton Hill & Fort Greene

There’s something about the smell of a fresh pot of coffee that can really get you going in the morning. If you’re a coffee lover like many of us here at BCL, you know the importance of sipping great coffee to jump start your day. While we do provide unlimited coffee for our members, we certainly understand the joys in reveling at your favorite coffee shop.

In Brooklyn, there’s no shortage of small businesses to support, and in Clinton Hill where we’re opening our second coworking location, we’re stoked that there’s an array of places which not only serve coffee, but also offer sandwiches, pastries, and the likes. We’ve gathered a list of a few small businesses that are within a 10-minute walking distance from our new 275 Park Avenue location in the Chocolate Factory Lofts building.
