The Concrete Jungle
13 Jefferson St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the Myrtle-Broadway chaos of Brooklyn, this roastery doubles as a lush plant-filled sanctuary where the coffee expertise genuinely matches the serene vibes—regulars rave about baristas who transform simple milk into something revelatory, and the matcha here ranks among NYC's best. Beyond the exceptional espresso and pour-overs, it's the kind of comfy, oxygen-rich jungle escape where you can linger with your laptop, nibble a perfectly balanced apple-cardamom danish, and actually feel like you've left the city without going anywhere.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

My friend got an iced cappuccino that she wasn’t crazy about but I got a hot latte that changed the way I think about milk. Truly I have never been more blown away by the expertise of a barista the way I was by the kind barista here. Not sure the baristas name, and if I was to…
Loved this green space with good vibes. Escape the city and enter the jungle! One of my favorite things while traveling is trying to find a good coffee spot and this place definitely met the mark that we were repeat customers. Both times, baristas were very friendly and had…
This little jungle is a perfect getaway within Bushwick. You can practically feel the oxygen in your body rising with all the plants! I just had a simple coffee and my friend had an americano. Both were lovely; I look forward to trying the food next time and maybe bringing home…
