Butler

Not every Williamsburg coffeeshop has a Michelin-starred pastry chef in the kitchen, but this one does. Overseen by Ryan Butler, formerly of Piora, the 750-square-foot bakeshop and espresso bar elevates your daily morning order with pops of global flavor: Breakfast items include a serrano chili scone, miso-toffee sticky buns and a local-egg–filled empanada topped with dukkah, while lunchtime options range from a Thai-spiced chicken pasty to a BLT tartine with avocado aioli. On the sweet side, diners can find a blueberry crumb cake updated with yuzu and chamomile, and Milo-ganache cupcakes with bitter cocoa. The high-ceilinged space itself echoes the elevated-café vibe, with wraparound leather banquettes, Carrera marble counters and brass tabletops.
