Sweatshop was recommended to me by a friend who had spent a lot of time in Williamburg while living in NYC. I am so glad I took his recommendation because this is honestly one of the cutest, chillest spots to grab an awesome cup of cold brew ever! The cold brew here is incredible – def one of the best I've tried. My friend and I both loved the vibe and friendly staff here. The space is cute, minimal with a black & white theme.
Random, but worth nothing, is the SUPER CUTE BATHROOM with Aesop hand soap!! Major bonus points for that.
Didn't get a chance to try any of the food here, but I will definitely be back to try some of their delicious breakfast fare! This Aussie-owned coffeeshop is the bomb.
The atmosphere is cute and service was quick and friendly, but I'd really only come back for a coffee & pastry to go. Food items are pretty overpriced for the quality/serving size, even by Williamsburg standards, and the only seats are stools around short tabletops on plastic crates, save one communal table
Popped by this cute little Australian cafe after seeing it multiple times on Instagram, and loved it! It wasn't the biggest space, but the artsy vibes emanating from the painted tables designed by local artists and the interactions at the community table make this place a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. I got the avocado toast with the fried egg on top, cuz who can resist such a perfect match?
My buddy and I had just eaten and we were heading back to Manhattan when we passed by this cool little coffee shop. I felt a strong desire to stop in and grab an espresso. It was only after I ordered the espresso that I realized their Australian ties. I am a lover of most things Australian.
As I understand it, the owners previously hail from Melbourne and they brought that vibe with them. This place reminds me of some of my favorite coffee shops in Australia. Australians are pretty serious about their coffee and some of the best coffee I've had has been there.
Their espresso was great and while I would definitely get it again, I'd go for an Australian flat white next time. Sweatshop is not only great for coffee, but it's a place that encourages you to use the space to work from as well, which I think is pretty cool. They also have some Aussie style grilled sandwiches (jaffles) and other food items that I'll get in on next time as well.
Very hip place although surprisingly very small and not enough seats. I stopped by for the first time after reading the reviews and it was pretty crowded despite coming on a Tuesday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and they even brought out our orders to us 🙂 I tried the iced coffee and flat white both were good and presentation was nice. A lot of people seemed to be doing work here (probably bc they have wifi). Overall it's a good place to chill, catch up with friends, or get some work done.
In a neighborhood full of coffee shops, you should go to Sweatshop in Williamsburg for your caffeine fix. Marketing themselves as an Australian coffee shop, they also have pastries (Moe's Doughnuts) and brunch items if you want to nosh on something.
Name aside, drink quality is great. Have ordered multiple drinks here and every single one has been on-point. Props the baristas there who all have those cool Australian accents I try to emulate but fail miserably. I'm a fan of the Australian iced coffee because of its caffeine content and even better with ice cream. Two of my craves in one = winning. I'd recommend the avocado smash for savory item with an egg on top.
Sweatshop has a large communal table and then crates as tables, each with a special design on the tabletop. It's modern, artsy and so freaking Williamsburg. It can get quite crowded depending on the time you go but because its location is literally underground, I can only imagine how much more crowded it would be if it was in a more centrally located area. But it isn't so , death before decaf.
Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy!
Located in Williamsburg, this small and coffee shop is a nice stop to start your day, or in my case a walking tour of Brooklyn. The shop it self is small with limited seating, but my mrs and I got there pretty early. My hot chocolate was one of the better hot chocolates I've had. It was light, smooth and not thick. My mrs got the flat white which I surprisingly liked (I don't like coffee).
To start off our day we got the mornington sandwich, which perfectly suited us for our morning trip. The sandwich had all you need in a breakfast sandwich on a soft toasted bread. The staff were nice and if you're into accents then you'll love the Aussie and Kiwi staff. I recommend the place for a quick pick me up, but the prices are little bit higher for the amount you get. It comes with the territory with these specialty coffee shops.
Nice coffee shop, but I'm not sure what the hype is about. Came here because of the good reviews but I'm sad to report that it wasn't particularly worth it.
I had a soy flat white, which was distinctly missing the magic. Not sure if it was the soy blender or the coffee itself but it was bitter and the texture of the soy milk was just off. Can't really imagine that soy is something people don't look for in Brooklyn, but here is room for improvement. Three stars.
One more star though for my friend's regular flat white, which was good and pretty to look at.
The place itself has a nice, clean design, white brick walls but it's tiny. Which is fine but the layout is such that if you can't get a seat at the big communal table, the only other option is to crouch uncomfortably on stools with no real table.
Not sure what my bottom line is here. If I was in the area, I might try again?
