Hungry Ghost Coffee — Park Slope

Hungry Ghost Coffee opened its first shop in 2012 from a Turkish-Brooklynite couple, and the Park Slope branch on 7th Avenue is one of the brand's daily workhorses — a clean, naturally-lit space with cozy chairs, long communal tables, and the kind of inviting atmosphere that makes it equally suited to meeting a friend or settling in to work for the day. The coffee program is anchored by an exclusive partnership with Stumptown Coffee — beans roasted in Red Hook — and the espresso, milk drinks, and drip are all executed at the consistent level you'd expect from a shop that has grown to 12 locations across Brooklyn and Manhattan without compromising on the basics. Pastries baked daily in-house round out the menu. A reliable Park Slope anchor.
