Micah C. Philliips, Blue Bottle Tribeca

How do you take your coffee?
“Barista’s choice: anything they're excited about that current day. But typically an espresso, followed by a pour over of some method and repeat.”

What do you love about your coffee shop and neighborhood specifically?
“In all facets, this location is about participation and community. Being constantly surrounded by those that care about a particular craft and product is inevitably inspiring and refreshing.”

What is your least favorite task to do around the shop?
“Can't say I have a one.”

Do you have regulars? If so, do you have any fun stories about building relationships with them?
“Many of our regulars have lived in Tribeca for years and have tales to match the years earned. Stories that surround a consistently quiet and untouched neighborhood under rapid development.”
