southside coffee: latest south brooklyn coffee find
j and i are always on the hunt for great coffee — and at least for now — most of the really great places in new york seem to be finding their way to williamsburg which is really not that convenient for a quick cup in the morning with two kids in tow. so several months ago we were very pleased to discover southside coffee on 6th avenue and 19th street — not exactly walking distance for us but definitely worth the trip. with really remarkable baristas, and coffee from intelligentsia, they make outstanding cappuccinos (all i prefer to drink) and the mood is nice and low key. not the coziest spot, but with baked pastries southside coffee is definitely worth a weekly trek. southside coffee, 652 6th avenue at 19th street, brooklyn, new york, .

with two small and darling kids and one lovely husband who all occasionally need some amount of tending to as well as a full-time job, this blog is an excuse for me to explore the streets of new york, with a focus on brooklyn -- my home -- and manhattan, for those great little finds that seem to appear randomly on all sorts of blocks around new york but are sometimes hidden from plain view. i gravitate toward small, beautiful, independent places with interesting things, fantastic and friendly service and mostly affordable stuff (or at least an excellent value) and food that is extremely tasty, reasonable and in a great space -- though taste will trump design every time. to help put all these ideas in one place, i also will provide a series of new york mini-guides. in each of these, i will highlight something fun to do and then give some food, shop and doing suggestions nearby. these mini-guides, soon to be accompanied by mini-maps, will help to fill an afternoon -- where to pick up a snack, what shops to check out nearby and is there a really sweet little park along the way for a much needed rest. and i am always looking for ideas -- so if you have any suggestions for where to eat and shop or what to do please let me know. . you can also follow me on twitter at cherrypatter.
and for those of you more interested in the photos, i have absolutely no photography training and while i have been picking up a few tidbits here and there, mostly i think the credit for the photos goes to my lovely camera. it is a canon rebel xti, and the lens i use most of the time is the 50 mm 1:1:8. i also have a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 for longer views.

Looking forward to trying this. I am a cappuccino only type of person, too! (although I tend to like them sweeter than most)
and i thought you didn’t drink any coffee things at all! tx. for the comment — you’re my first. now i need to figure out how to broadcast this a bit more, though i think i want to wait till i have another week of posts. fun.
[...] super fancy marzocco machine, and while it was good i still prefer the intelligentsia coffee at southside coffee. but for restaurant cappuccino, i don’t think i can complain too [...]
The coffee is divine, the croissants are from Balthazar, the scones are from Scratch bread (via the oven at Toby’s) but the best part by far are the people. I’ve spent more hours than I’d like to admit spayed out in the couch in South Side, and talking smack with the folks behind the counter. Icing on the cake? They can help you when your stuck on the crossword.
One of the owners also owns Lot 2 across the street.
