Gowanus Lounge has this to say:

Yesterday, we posted about the new Brooklyn Bean that is opening at Fourth Avenue and Carroll Street. Brownstoner posted about it too, noting that it is an offshoot of Cuppa Cuppa in the East Village and has nothing to do with Brookyn Bean & Tea Company
on Atlantic Avenue. Of course, we had assumed that the new Brooklyn
Bean was an offshoot of the Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn Bean. Wrong. We
got an email yesterday afternoon from the owner of (the Atlantic
Avenue) Brooklyn Bean & Tea Company pointing out that the two
Brooklyn Beans have nothing to do with each other. The email from Jeremy Lugo simply said:

Velvet Sea had this to say about the new coffee place. VS even has pictures, including the one above.

Brooklyn Bean replaces Family Car Service- relocated to the rear of the
building. They will have some coffee competition, as there is El Cafetin
in the Lyceum and McDonald’s with it’s "69 cents any coffee any size"
diagonally across the street in either direction as well as Ozzie’s and
Trois Pommesth Ave, which serves Gorilla Coffee just up the block on Fifth Avenue.

  1. well I hope that the owners of the brooklyn bean and tea–the one on atlantic–will catch wind of this post again, because i just want to say it really sucks that they’re closing. I mean honestly. They just opened. It’s the kind of place where you can actually meet people, not even to talk to anyone but just feel like part of the neighborhood. It’s a shame to lose such a place.

  2. Well, maybe the owners of the atlantic one are reading again now because i just want to tell them I cannot believe they are closing their doors. It is such a great coffee shop and has become such an important part of the community. It’s the kind of place that lets you meet people, talk to the neighbor you never knew you had, marvel in our great little neighborhood.
