SEY Coffee

They do a really excellent job with their beans but I feel like the cafe cuts corners. I’ve liked the espresso I’ve made at home with their beans better than what they make here. They use aeropress for their “single-cup” instead of pour-over; I get the efficiency bump for their baristas, but imo doesn’t produce as full taste, and they’re charging the same price as other cafes that actually do pour-over.
Vast majority of customers won’t notice/care, but if you’re a coffee nerd I’d just pick up a fresh bag for home.

Beautifully simple space with a simple menu and presentation. Enjoyed the sparking water with the coffee and the pastry was pretty good. Dog friendly, but pretty crowded on the weekend.

Best coffee ever. I’ve had coffee in so many countries and this one is always unmatched.

One of the best rosters of specialty coffee in NYC, hands down. Mostly washed process and light roasts, their coffee is complex and flavorful, from the espresso to the drip, to the pour over. I frequently buy their whole beans for at home brews. Only con is the pricing. But you get what you pay for.

Coffee is delicious….but will cost you a pretty penny. Worth it to sit and sip but not to go.

The best coffee in New York!
They really care about their coffee, change the beans monthly to get new great flavors, coffee shop itself has a lot of space, very chill place to sit down and work or hang out with friends

I was a bit disappointed by the quality of their single cups which are sold for 9$ or 10$. I have tried several ones and even after giving honest feedback about my first experience the second one tasted over-extracted and bitter as well. The flat whites were ok. Might go again in a while to give it another try.

Before visiting, and strictly going off off coffees I've brewed myself at home, I would have said La Cabra was the best coffee available in NYC. However, having been to both Sey and La Cabra during my visit to NYC (and the latter being quite disappointing), I've come away with a different opinion. Sey is a more laid back, welcoming location to enjoy some coffee in, with more attentive, skilled, and friendly baristas, serving delicious coffee alongside sparkling water to accentuate the nuanced flavors of the perfectly roasted coffees. I highly recommend a trip here for any avid coffee enthusiast!

One of Bushwick's best coffee experiences can be found at Sey Coffee. "Drink beautiful coffee", really comes through with each cup that you sip. You can tell that the people behind Sey worship coffee, because the quality and taste comes through with each cup. They work closely with their partners and farmers and roast their beans in back. Sey also offers a variety of tea as well as delicious pastries to indulge in with your beverage. I highly recommend the olive oil cake, if they don’t sell out before you arrive. The almond croissant is dense and delicious and the scones are also good. The chocolate chip sea salt cookie, is a must try. If you find yourself having to get somewhere at the crack of dawn, you’ll be thrilled to know that Sey opens at 7AM! I’m usually grabbing my items to go, but once in a while, I sit and soak up the lovely space, which is a minimal, industrial, light and plant filled interior. Here are a few more reasons to love Sey. The staff are friendly and chill. They're cool with my sweet fur friend accompanying me and that's a major ++. They also don't accept tips, because they know coffee is a luxury and they’d rather you put your $ towards your next drink at Sey Coffee! Plus, a living wage is what keeps employees happy!

The most pretentious coffee on the east coast?

After having the barista incorrectly explain Ethiopian coffee to me, I waited almost 10 minutes for an espresso, then was told I can’t work on the computer at any of the available seats in the cafe.

Not worth it, go to coffee project.
