I was very surprised to find excellent coffee that's roasted right in Brooklyn. Gorilla Coffee comes from an independently owned and operated micro-roastery. All of it is free trade and organic. And it's pretty good. (They also serve free-trade teas.) This is all culled from their website--which also says that their coffee is available wholesale to select stores and food shops. I haven't come across any other places that serve Gorilla coffee yet, but I'm looking into it and hope to add any NYC buyers to the list.

The coffee shop isn't very big, and there's often a line out the door--but it moves very quickly. There are tables set up with Park Slope's version of hipsters working on their laptops. (I'm 99% sure they have wireless..but I'm double-checking...)

You can also buy (very fresh!) Gorilla Coffee whole bean or ground at the shop.
