Furman's Coffee

cold brew on a warm afternoon is probably the call here. furman's coffee sits on nostrand avenue in crown heights, brooklyn, a stretch that moves at its own pace and has enough foot traffic to keep a good independent shop genuinely busy. you don't come here for a quick transaction, though plenty of people probably do exactly that, grab something and go. the shop has built real local standing, the kind that comes from consistency rather than novelty. whatever you're ordering, the espresso-based drinks have a following for a reason. if you're in the neighborhood on a weekend morning, nostrand avenue is worth the walk alone, and furman's is a reasonable anchor for it.
