20 Old Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“This Dumbo location is a destination in itself, offering some of NYC's most stunning Brooklyn Bridge and skyline views—especially magical at sunset from the corner window seats. The minimalist, light-filled space pairs meticulously sourced single-origins like their standout Ethiopian with signature preparations like the silky Kyoto Latte, making it equally perfect for a quick espresso grab or a lingering coffee moment with a laptop. Whether you're a returning fan from their global locations or discovering them for the first time, the consistently excellent coffee and unforgettable vistas make this an instant favorite.”

We love (%Arabica) branches all over the world 🌍 This location is so special with the most beautiful view on Brooklyn Bridge and NYC skyline.. best time is sunset 🌆 my favorite coffee is Ethiopian Chemex
I had been to Arabica before in Singapore and wanted to try it again in NYC. I had a sore throat and it was freezing outside, so this place was the perfect stop. I got a hot coffee and walked with it across the Brooklyn Bridge, which made the experience even better. The location is beautiful and very similar in style to the one in Singapore. The only downside was the wait, I had to wait around 15 minutes to get my coffee. Overall, still a great spot for quality coffee in a great location.
We’ve visited % Arabica Dumbo several times, and it’s consistently a lovely place to enjoy coffee. The café is bright, spacious, and beautifully designed. The Kyoto Latte is excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and always a highlight. The Americano is also quite good. As a Japanese brand, the attention to detail and coffee quality really shows. One of the most special features of this location is the large window overlooking the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a unique and memorable setting that many people come specifically to experience. There is a corner seating area with an especially nice view, and it naturally attracts a lot of interest. It’s completely understandable that guests want to take photos there. On occasion, we’ve noticed some visitors bringing professional photography equipment and wearing custom or cosplay outfits, using the space primarily for extended photo sessions. Everyone should feel welcome to enjoy the café, but in a shared seating environment like this, a little courtesy and awareness of others can help ensure that more guests have the opportunity to enjoy both the coffee and the view. Overall, this is a wonderful café with high-quality coffee and an iconic setting, and we’ll definitely continue coming back. With mutual consideration among customers, the experience can be even more enjoyable for everyone.
One of those coffee shops with out of the world views if your lucky enough to get the corner window seats, you will be in luck with having the best views in NYC while sipping on your coffee. Definitely come here for the view and great spanish latte.
Arabica hits different. The coffee’s amazing — you can taste the quality. The view of the Brooklyn Bridge from inside is insane, and the service is quick. Not sure if they do pour-overs, so I’ll have to come back and check (not complaining though 😄). Smooth, flavorful coffee — not your usual over-roasted NYC stuff.
