Crema's Take
“The same passionate barista has been pulling consistently excellent espresso shots here for long enough that regulars come back specifically for his flat whites and cortados, making this a destination for people who actually care about their coffee rather than their Instagram feed. The space strikes that rare balance of being both genuinely cozy and effortlessly cool, with a curated music program and a no-nonsense vibe that attracts the kind of creative Williamsburg crowd that doesn't need to perform their coolness. Ants is worth the trip if you want a properly-made espresso drink from someone who takes the work seriously, though fair warning—quality obsession can sometimes read as intensity.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.

Absolutely love this place! This coffee shop is a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere and the smell of freshly brewed coffee immediately make you feel at home. The baristas are super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do.

Absolutely amazing coffee shop, definitely the best one in the area. Barista Sam is very welcoming and is passionate about coffee. They have amazing flat white, cortado, and cold brew. Also the music is nice. A small table outside is available. They also have snacks and pastries.
