Gimme! Coffee

I don’t mind to wait for a proper coffee, –although it I s hard to justify a long wait having just one customer before, but when the watered down liquid was brought back to your bar upon two sips, dear gimme coffee, it’s probably time to chat less barista and get your staff together. Won’t come back, Oslo is just a block down…

Forget Oslo and their burnt coffee, walk past; forget Atlas and their terrible average service. This place is amazing from Ithaca NY; it’s just awesome and authentic. Make the effort for the small local coffee shop. Great pastries too!

This place is great — all around. It does not have a lot of seating but worked out well for me. I lived a block away from this Gimme! Coffee and came here very often (understatement). Great coffee — the standard and fancy stuff — but also the service/​staff is great. A good place to work for a few hours, outlets for those that need power and usually good music playing. Great location close to the Bedford L.

Love it! Love it! Love it! The best coffee in NY!!! It’s a small place but they have the best coffee ever! And beautiful benches outside. If you love coffee this is the place for you! Coffee from all over the world and the best selection ever! The staff is amazing! Incredibly friendly! I’ve been coming here for 6 years and I’ve never ever been disappointed or mistreated. I’ve always been welcomed with a smile and they always take time to explain and recommend their products. Best place in NY!

Learned the difference between a Japanese cold brew vs. traditional cold brew. Good coffee, plenty of seating and good vibes from the staff.

I’m not even enough of a coffee nerd to enjoy what these guys are doing to the fullest but I’ll tell you what I love their coffee!
I mostly order café oles and don’t ask what Brew it is so I love some cups more than others, I really enjoy their iced coffee (house brew) and I buy their mocha Java beans for home.
I’m not sure when this location opened but I have been drinking the coffee happily since opening day!

I really love this location of gimme coffee. Here are reasons why I love this coffee shop:
— The staff is fantastic. Kudos to whoever hired the staff. They’re never grumpy or mean even though it is 7 o’clock in the morning. They’re very friendly and easy to talk to. It’s really nice and rare to find baristas that aren’t cynical and jaded by life.
— I moved down the block from this location of gimme coffee so it’s nice having a place to go to that’s solid and close.
— Their cappuccinos are so well done here that you don’t need to dump any sweeteners in it.
— The prices are really great for how high quality their coffee is. Albeit it’s a small serving but I’ll do quality over quantity any day.
Two thumbs up!

The American coffee is a bit on the strong side, however it is piping hot. That’s why I gave four stars. They are very quick to serve you. A little pricy for a large American coffee. Their bakery items look good. Very small place good for a to go. They have a few outside wooden benches to sit on. Self serve milk and sugar, so why do they charge so much for a simple cup of coffee.

I’m sorry but their iced coffee tastes like crap. There is a trend toward cold brew that I don’t care for, coffee is more like tea. Weak and tastes ‘flowery’. While that may appeal to some, I’m not one.

Nice little spot. Too small to study at (just my preference). Good coffee and service. I like the location too.

Who doesn’t like coffee?
Me.
That’s right I said it. I don’t like coffee. I don’t go seeking for it. I don’t swear by it.
I don’t find it attractive. I will not make love to it. I will not make out with it.
BUT I appreciate it.
The times that I have been in here I have been able to satisfy my coffee urges and I quite think it’s better than OSLO down the street. I live around the corner and love their artwork they do on their outdoor chalkboard sign… I know it’s a weird thing to mention but it is really cool.
This place does seem to give a shit about coffee so if I were a bigger giver-​a-​shitter about coffee I would give this 5 stars… oh wait, I did.

Really nice spot to get a fresh coffee. The people who work here have always been very nice, very friendly towards me.
They have free internet wifi but there is very limited seating. I do not suggest coming here for a work station because it is very tiny.
If you’re in the area and need a tasty pick me up, stop in a grab a nice homemade vegan protein bars. The coffee isn’t so bad either!
Would have given them more stars but I would really like to see the seating arrangements could improve.
Thanks for reading! If you found this review helpful please «like» it. Have a great one. –cj

Damn fine coffee. Unfortunately it’s tiny as a tea cup inside, so there’s little chance of getting a seat unless the weather is so magical no one can bear to stay indoors.
Regardless, I haven’t tasted better coffee in Brooklyn. Plus, the staff are friendly and clearly care about their craft.

I embarrassingly have to begin with: I am not a coffee drinker. I add more sugar and milk to my coffee than anyone else I know. If I am in need of a warm caffeinated drink I usually order a super sweet coffee blend at my local Starbucks and feel sick when I finish it.
That being said. I lived in Williamsburg for nearly a decade and watched (partially participated in) the hipster transformation. Hipsters are coffee snobs and my husband is one of them. Because I know not a thing about coffee I would shy away from any coffee shops. When Gimme! opened on Lorimer my husband (boyfriend at the time) had me go in and get a cappuccino with him. It was heaven!!! The foam calmed the bitterness of the uniquely smooth coffee and there was no added sugar but it was surprisingly okay. I would get one from time to time and even ventured in there on my own (which I could never do at other coffee shops).
Fast forward to this year. We have moved from the great city of Brooklyn to San Francisco. I order Gimme! Coffee online for my husband from time to time and although he has found a suitable coffee we often reminisce over how I nearly became a coffee drinker in Brooklyn.
We returned to the old hood and ran across the «new» Gimme! I think I was more excited than my husband was and pulled him in to get a cappuccino. The staff were great. I’m always a bumbling fool in coffee shops but they went about there business with no sideways glances. The cappuccino was perfection and we sat for a long time chatting about our days in Williamsburg.
I don’t know if its the sentimental value or the pure perfection of their coffee but Gimme! deserves all the stars in the world. If only they would set up shop in SF…

The cold brew is decent, but the staff is excellent and the space is super clean. I always like to walk by and see the art on their signs too.

This café actually makes their dry cappacinos dry.

Love this place! Just started working in the area and have already been here three times. It’s great. Lattes and espresso is VERY good and service is great. And they take cards. YAY!
I always get my coffee to go and I don’t hang around so I can’t say that much about the atmosphere. But when it comes to the coffee, they know what they are doing. My new go-​to coffee place!

Great coffee. Sort of a weird sitting space. Not as comfortable as other Gimme’s, I felt — not sure I’d want to stay here for a long time. But I could easily catch up with a friend here and be caffeinated at the same time.

Underwhelming to say the least. I really wanted to like this place.
Well, I do like the place, the energy is awesome and a great place to kill some time.
But, the cold brew was a letdown. Tasted water down and had no flavor.
I’ll give it another shot at another location, but this place didn’t really hit the pre-​yoga spot.

Soy Latte! :)

I ordered a latte. It tasted good. The coffee and steam milk was well brewed… Yea. first sip… MMmmmmm… I just start loving it!!! I wanna give a 5 stars because they are really friendly and nice to us. Love how they really made an effort to brewed a nice cup of coffee to you! It’s better than starbucks!!!
I just love COFFEE!!! I need to stop by Gimme more often to give a better review… Recommended by my friend… Should try their signature black coffee… and also my favorite. MOCHA!!! Do they have it in Manhattan???
