I’m pretty dependent on my $1 coffee, but support the fair trade stuff whenever possible. Also – make sure your local corner store is brewing actually coffee, not the instant stuff!

Check out my video for Barcey’s coffee. I found the place to be very comfortable and the coffee was very good. A welcomed addition to the neighborhood.

Thank you for the valid points BrooklynJTrain
I share them 100%.
I been reading the blog for around 6 months and this reporter Scarlett, Sarah are known for totally ignoring and shitting on the people and business’s that have been here long before them.

To anonymous:
No, I’m not a pessimist.
At some point the world shits on everybody. –But Pretending it isn’t shit when you aren’t being shit on makes one a friggin idiot, not an optimist !

I think of all the people that write for this site, Scarlett is the last one who should be told she needs to “get out more.” I don’t see anyone else buying chickens at viveros and reviewing all kinds of Mexican and other bakeries, taco joints, restaurants, illegal food carts, and more. She’s particular about coffee, so what? Most of it here IS bad. And I agree Fortunata’s has superb espresso, but this specifically mentions drip coffee.

Ultimately a review is an opinion piece. You may disagree with the opinions. That doesn’t mean the author is sheltered.

FIRST: BASTA BOYS BASTA! Lascia stare…..go in there and just enjoy the place ok?

Just saying I went in to Barcey’s and loved it! hung on the couch w. my girlfriend who lives across the street.
We had whole wheat croissants and super coffee, great service w. a smile. Very nice atmosphere, big brick wall, open clean and fresh. Lots of people in and out:
3 mom’s w. their kids, local workers gettin a sandwich,
wifi up and running well as evidenced by several people hanging out working. We requested they get decaf for us older folk and they were agreeable…but had a fab cappucino anyway. Thanks Barcey’s !!

Scarlett…
You do need to get out more. I think this is one of the reasons that long term residents feel so much apprehension to the new folk moving in here. You seem to totally ignore the fact that these people are here and they have been here long before there were hipsters, yuppies, and whatever else. Its like when NorthEast Kingdom opened. Everyone was like… Hey we finally have a restraunt. Come on people. There is much more out there than wyckoff starr and bodega swill when it comes to coffee. Numerous bakeries on Wyckoff w/ great coffee. One of my favorites is the Dominican Bakery w/ their Cafe Santo Domingo. Expresso @ Fortunatos and 280 Cafe (Formerly Caffe La Notte), both by Knick and Suydam. Just to name a few.

I apologize if I insulted you (or anybody else)Jeremy don’t take it personally….I sure don’t. I will try and be more insightful to a interesting culture clash thread.
As far as the English go we hurled them and their F_ing tea out of this country over 230 years ago.

I don’t know what kind of pinko commie dictionary or website your using by my Funk & Wagnalls from Grover Cleveland HS says:
Swill: to drink great drafts of : GUZZLE (swill beer)
intrositive verb (whatever that means)
1 : to drink or eat freely, greedily, or to excess
2 : SWASH (swill it down)
Noun: — swiller

I’m not making this up
If its good enough for White House Press Secretary’s and Johnny Carson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_&_Wagnalls good enough for everybody.
That’s the way I see it anyway

Good night nurse you people give me a headache, OMG !

Your first comment was an insult. It’s right there plain as day. Anyway, how embarrassing, you don’t seem to know what the English word “swill” means — do look it up. “Swig” means something completely different, and in fact you can take a swig of swill.

Sadly, overbrewed coffee doesn’t have much more caffeine in it than properly brewed. It just tastes like shit and so you think it’s strong. The sugar you need to stir in to make it palatable is probably what gives you that extra jolt.

You’re all over the place, Nino, but hey let’s call the whole thing off. We both probably make a good sauce.
