Coffee Mob

Coffee Mob sits on a busy Newkirk Avenue corner by the Newkirk Plaza station in Flatbush, a small minimalist storefront with a rock and roll attitude and a twin turntable beside the counter playing vinyl LPs. Owner Buck roasts his own beans and sources direct from East African and Latin American farms, focused on paying farmers fairly. The bar runs drip, pour-over, espresso, cold brew, hot chocolate, and Van Leeuwen ice cream in the summer. Bagels and pastries come in from Ceci Cela in Manhattan, plus vegan baked goods on rotation. The room fits maybe a dozen at a stretch. Regulars are Flatbush locals who have been ordering the same drink since 2010. Order a pour-over of whichever single origin Buck just roasted if you want the version of the bean that landed this week. Order a Ceci Cela bagel and an espresso if you came before 11am and you want breakfast.
