The specialized, custom-brewed, high-quality coffee wars in New York are heating up again. The East Village alone has Think Coffee and Abraco, and giving those houses a run for their money is this clean morning spot retrofitted like a civilized and sophisticated Eastern European cafe. The place is co-run by drinkmaster Sasha Petraske, and if he can do for the cappuccino and ginger cookie here what he did for the Delmonico Cocktail at his super-cool unlisted Milk 'N Honey bar, low-key laptoppers will have good reason to wake up early to score a spot in the multi-level hangout and watch the Faema E61 coffee machine in action.
