Forty Weight Coffee Roasters & Cafe is that cafe on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 12th Street. By day it’s Forty Weight, by noon it’s also a restaurant called Sweet Wolf’s. 

Maybe you’ve wondered about it; maybe you’ve been there.

Forty Weight and Sweet Wolf’s have lovely front area that has a very elegant and inviting look. High gate, brick posts, gargoyles, black metal tables and chairs. Inside it’s air conditioned, there’s free wifi and the coffee is good, very good. It’s roasted by Forty Weight Coffee Roasters.

Here’s what Forty Weight has to say on their website.

“Forty Weight Coffee Roasters is the product of many years spent daydreaming over hot cups of coffee in breakfast spots and cafes around the world. Owner/Operator Andrew Ballard built Forty Weight on his passion/skill for sourcing, roasting and drinking the finest coffees on earth. The genesis of Forty Weight Coffee Roasters was long and hard, but it led us to be the strong uncompromising company that we are today. Forty Weight Coffee Roasters is on the front lines of third wave coffee; educating, inspiring – leading the movement to evolve our industry.”

Here at FW, the baristas are very nice, very conversational, fun. The place has a very neighborhoody feel. Best of all, the flat screen TV is set to Wimbledon.

I like it here.
