It seemed like just yesterday we were playing Name-That-Building and then the siding went up and even further speculation ensued. This weekend, Cup, Greenpoint’s newest coffee shop, finally arrived. Considered a “soft” opening, owners Bianca LeRoux and her husband Jeremy, a local fire fighter, realized they had everything they needed to starting serving coffee and opened their doors for business.

I saw that crazy paint job last Thursday when I walked by and I have to admit, I like it!

Can't wait to try it!
i still hate the color but these people are super nice. best of luck to them.
Super boring name, but nice to have a coffee shop in the neighborhood. I just checked out Kitten Coffee, though, and it doesn't say anything about it being fair trade, direct trade or organic beans. That's too bad, considering Codie at Brooklyn Standard is trying to set 'the standard' for our hood with Stumptown. Thanks for the info on this new joint. Good luck to them!
I agree – nice people. The iced coffee feels a little pricey at 3 dollars though.
The "standard" for coffee in our neighborhood should not just be about fair trade and organic beans. Although both of those elements are something for which we should strive and observe when selecting where we chose to drink coffee, it should not go unmentioned that Kitten Coffee uses 100% Rainforest Alliance certified beans and has a zero carbon footprint as a Carbon Neutral business.
Its important to give credit where credit is due.
$3 for iced coffee is a lot, isn't it, for not being organic, free / direct trade…?
I'll buy it just once to support their endeavor though. Good Luck.
