Preface Coffee in Long Island City, specialty coffee roaster

preface coffee roasts its own beans, and that single fact changes what ends up in your cup. most cafes in long island city are buying from someone else's roastery and hoping for the best. here, the sourcing decisions, the roast profiles, the whole chain of custody sits inside the same building on hunter street. that kind of control is rare, and it shows. regulars who keep coming back to this block aren't doing it out of habit. they're doing it because the coffee is consistently good in a way that's hard to fake when you're cutting corners somewhere upstream. if you're anywhere near hunters point, the morning filter is the thing to order.
