Lattente

you're on bedford avenue in williamsburg, which means you're already somewhere with opinions about coffee. lattente sits at 219 bedford, and the people who drink here regularly aren't shy about that fact. williamsburg has had its complicated decade, the boutique hotels and the brunch spots and the slow creep of sameness, but a place that holds onto its regulars this tightly is doing something that goes past location. you don't have to take anyone's word for it, the standing speaks clearly enough. the neighborhood rewards specificity, and lattente delivers it. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, that's probably when you want to show up, before bedford gets its afternoon foot traffic and the quiet still belongs to the coffee.
