A Coffee [Mis]hap


When opening a coffee shop make sure you know who your competition is. Our friends at the New York Times dug up a little tiff between two such cafes in Crown Heights. A battle between the old guard and the new kids on the block is never an easy win to call. Breukelen Coffee House (peddlers of Stumptown coffee) and the Pulp and the Bean escalated their rivalry on the internet.

I find that a multitude of coffee houses never hurt any neighborhood. And feuds never really hurt when trying to get your name out there, negativity breading that buzz that draws everyone in. So, go visit these purveyors of the bean and let us know what you think!
