Sey

if you're the kind of person who takes roasting seriously, grattan street is worth the trip. sey sits in bushwick, a neighborhood that's cycled through enough identities to stop caring what anyone thinks of it, and the roastery fits that energy. you're not coming here for atmosphere in the vague sense. you're coming because the coffee starts here, on-site, and that proximity matters when you care about what's in your cup. the sourcing decisions, the roast profiles, all of it happens before the drink reaches you, which is a different proposition than a shop that just brews someone else's beans. regulars know this, and they keep showing up. get there on a weekday morning before the neighborhood fully wakes up, order whatever's on filter, and let 18 grattan do the rest.
