Park Slope Cafe Odyssey

There is nothing like a long, relaxing day with a good cup of coffee and Park Slope has no shortage of choices. In fact, the list of possible places to go is overwhelming. PS 20 Something has taken on the challenge of visiting every place in Park Slope to discover those perfect places. We will update our coffee map as we go along.

Colson Patisserie [map]

Good for: Romantic weekend morning coffee and breakfast

Colson sits snug on the corner of 5th Avenue and 9th Street. From the vantage of its metallic outdoor seats you can observe the busy morning pedestrian traffic (strollers, dogs etc.) as you drink a delicious ice coffee and eat a croissant/pain au chocolat/almond pain au chocolat depending on your level of fanciness. If raining, the inside has a cute European atmosphere with a row of tables for seating.

Cafe Grumpy [map]

Good for: A delicious variety of exotic coffees to go, a quick morning browse of the Times

New to Park Slope is the classy Cafe Grumpy, expanding from its locations in Greenpoint and Chelsea. With its iconic logo, good for anyone who hates Mondays, the cafe offers coffees from such far-flung regions as Africa.
