Manna Coffee

you're on brighton beach avenue, which means you're somewhere between the atlantic ocean and a stretch of brooklyn that doesn't perform for anyone. this part of the neighborhood runs on its own schedule, and manna coffee sits inside a western union on 613 brighton beach ave, which is either the most practical use of shared space you'll encounter or just the kind of thing that happens when a community actually needs both services. the reviews suggest people keep coming back, and in a neighborhood with plenty of options, that's not nothing. if you're heading down here, go before the afternoon crowd picks up, and get whatever's on the espresso menu that day.
