This is old news but I just came across it on one of my favorite local blogs, Brooklynometry. The blogger over there writes that the coffee shop in Windsor Terrace called Lonelyville, which is right across the street from Prospect Park on Prospect Park South West, is for
sale. If anyone knows, please send me the latest status on this spot.
It’s a gem adored by the neighborhood for all of the features
that make is especially especial: the beautiful garden in back, the
coffee, cupcakes, sandwiches, beer, wine, and don’t forget, unsalted
popcorn for the ducks in Prospect Lake. They have adirondack chairs and
a bowl of water for dogs in front. There’s penny candy in antique jars
and a collection of thermoses so commanding it has to be viewed as art.After
2 years of business it’s up, running, wonderful, and self-sustaining
but the owners need to simplify their lives and hope someone will take
it on. Kitty and Sara have done a fantastic j0b, so much about the
place is smart and tasteful and well designed, it is truly amazing. If
you haven’t visited, go soon, if only to appreciate the thermos
collection. I wonder if that will be included in the sale.
