The fun used to be that there’s a Starbucks on each dilemma in New York City. Now there’s coffee in a dilemma of roughly each store.
At Lichen, a boutique in Williamsburg that sells home products and furniture, we can collect adult Danish potion cups for $7, an Italiana Luce flare for $85 or a marble chair for $12,000. But like some-more and some-more stores of all forms — plant shops, bike shops, coiffeur shops — there’s also a coffee bar tucked into a side.
“If we travel in somewhere and there’s costly furniture, and there’s no song playing, it turns into a gallery,” pronounced Jared Blake, who owns Lichen with Edward Be. “But if it’s people celebration coffee and there’s song playing, you’re like: ‘Oh, we can gaunt into this a small bit, feel it and wish to buy it.’” He estimates that coffee accounts for between 15 and 20 percent of a store’s sales.
At Regular Visitors, a coffee opposite takes core theatre between a suspended walls of incense oils, magazines and candles, though don’t call it a coffee shop. Daniel Sorg, a owner of a Boerum Hill store — that self-designates as a internal assembly place — pronounced they had primarily graphic it as a modernized newsstand, both a village heart and a various stop.
