Jessi's Coffee Shop

some mornings you just need a place on bushwick avenue that won't make you feel like you're in a hurry when you're not. jessi's coffee shop, sitting at 223 bushwick ave, draws the kind of crowd that keeps coming back, not out of habit exactly, but because the place has clearly figured something out. brooklyn's bushwick neighborhood moves fast, and this stretch of the avenue can feel like it's always mid-transition, but regulars here seem genuinely at ease. the loyalty runs deep enough that you hear about it without even asking. if you're working through a slow afternoon or grabbing something before the l train, the cortado is a reasonable place to start.
