NEIGHBORHOOD: Nolita, Williamsburg

Without tables or chairs, there is no sitting or loitering. Gimme! Coffee is about one thing: coffee. And not just any coffee. The folks at Gimme are determined to brew beans that "turn people on." According to Gimme, "not all beans are created equal" and this small shop is dedicated to finding only the best:  fairly traded, organic beans from small family farms in Colombia and Mexico. The beans are then roasted in small batches by real people, not machines. Of course, the final touch comes from the baristas who undergo serious espresso education before manning the bar, resulting in finished products which are often presented with artistic flourishes. (See image below.) CONT'D

 

After six successful locations in Upstate New York, Gimme earned loyal fans at its Williamsburg spot before opening shop in Nolita last year.  Whether you're opting for the standard cup of joe or the more creative offerings like the Crazy Fiona (latte with organic hazelnut and irish cream), Gimme will keep you happily caffeinated. Fun fact: Gimme provides their customers with a glossary of proper espresso terminology on their website. Study up!
