Spolem Cafe

How might an unsuspecting Polish coffee shop stationed well beyond Ridgewood’s beaten path make a best Irish coffee list? By consistently cranking out tasty, fun takes on the Gaelic standard served with a smile by their friendly, attentive staff. More like a neighborhood cafe than a raucous pub, Spolem is a writer’s dream, with plenty of tables and a plethora of outlets, making the transition from morning lattes to evening liquor has never been easier.
