A corner café in Dumbo with green double doors and the warm brick façade of a building that knows its neighbourhood. The window seating runs along the exterior — cushions, enough room to sit for an hour without feeling incidental. The coffee is from a roastery nearby. On weekday mornings the cobblestone block outside is empty, and the Manhattan Bridge is audible before it becomes visible. This is the right kind of unremarkable.
