There are three things you need to know about the new cafe Abraço Espresso: it’s tiny, it brews excellent coffee, and the little food that it serves is way beyond coffee-shop caliber.

New York Magazine Reviews Abraco

“Abraço is a coffee bar in the strictest sense. But it’s also much, much more. Factor in relatively ambitious food, some congenial barista banter, and a design so bright and sunny it could cure seasonal affective disorder, and you’ve got an instant neighborhood institution and the U.G.’s favorite new hangout.”

“And the coffee? McCormick’s beans come from North Carolina’s acclaimed Counter Culture Coffee, and his drip, like Blue Bottle’s, is ground to order and individually brewed straight into your mug. It’s super-fresh, aromatic, and lively. His espresso drinks are expertly balanced, the foam properly inscribed with high-level latte art.”
