The joint: 500 President Gorilla Coffee Roastery and Bar

What’s brewing: Gowanus will gain its first roastery when this Park Slope outfit’s 4,000-square-foot warehouse opens in mid-September. It will also deliver some bean nerd standards to the up-and-coming nabe: single-origin blends and highfalutin brewing methods (pour-overs, siphon). gorillacoffee.com

  • Japanese
  • East Village

What's brewing: Taking its name from a fashion term popular during the Japanese jazz age, this 11-seat coffee house specializes in East-meets-West fare. During the day, the East Village spot serves siphon brews made with Porto Rico and Counter Culture blends and dishes such as omurice (a rice-stuffed omelet) and katsu pork sandwiches. When the sun sets, sidle up to the wooden counter for Far East beers (Yonayona, Echigo Koshihikari) and sake cocktails. hi-collar.com
