Graziella Coffee Company

graziella coffee company roasts its own beans. that's where it starts and where everything else follows. for a lot of specialty shops in new york, the roasting operation is somewhere offsite, a separate thing you never really see. here, the sourcing decisions and the roasting happen under the same roof as the cups going out, which means whoever is pulling your shot has a shorter line back to where those decisions were made. you're not drinking coffee that passed through three middlemen before it hit the hopper. lower manhattan gives you no shortage of places to grab something hot and keep moving, but graziella is worth slowing down for. come back when you actually have time for a second cup.
