Harlem Bespoke: We have been receiving major tips on the a new coffee shop that just opened up at the corner of 149th Street on FDB and dropped by yesterday to check everything out. Fresh flowers, rustic finishes and a charming, expansive space greeted us upon arrival at Common Good which was a refreshing change that really made our morning.
Apparently the soft opening just happened in the past week but the word seems to be out on the street since the 40-seater cafe had a lot of neighbors already dropping by and enjoying the ambiance. La Colombe coffee along with fresh cookies and muffins that are all baked in-house are also part of the mix. Since retail has gotten so expensive below 145th Street, this location makes perfect sense for a boutique business to thrive because of the built in demand. There are a lot of residential building in the area and those in the neighborhood definitely would prefer not traveling far to get their java fix.
Fantastic add to the neighborhood!
ReplyDeletereally cute coffee bar. glad to see some new establishments starting to open on this stretch of FDB.
ReplyDeleteI go here almost every day to work on my computer - just like you're saying, I live two blocks away and jumped on this as soon as it opened. Best place I know of! And Karina who owns the place is a really wonderful person. Nice choice.
