Tobys Estate is a roaster based in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn. Tobys Estate has three locations throughout New York City, one in
North Williamsburg, one in West Village and one in the Flatiron District inside
the Club Monaco Flagship store. In this blogpost, I will be focusing the Toby’s
Estate Coffee in West Village, Charles Street. The West Village location just
opened this past winter in November, it is located at the corner of Charles
Street and 6th Avenue. The location is small but they have window seats which I
am all about. (Window seats = good natural lighting for pictures) There is
also a huge standing table for people to just drink their coffee while reading
today's paper. At the corner of the shop, there are two tables that have
couches for people to lounge around with their friends on a lazy Saturday
afternoon. The space always gets great natural sunlight which is one of the big
thing that makes a good coffee shop to me. Who wants to drink coffee is a dark
and gloomy place? I know I don't.
Toby's roast their own beans in Brooklyn, their beans
are guaranteed fresh for quality espresso drinks or just filtered coffee. Single origin
is also another choice for pour over drinks. I personally love their Bedford
blend for espresso drinks such as cortado, latte and cappuccino(it tastes
wonderful by itself as an espresso too). The cold brew here is also impeccable,
perfect for the spring and the hot summer days! The tastes of their cold brew
is incredibly smooth without the bitterness one always find in a over steeped
cold brew. I love their cold brew without any milk(it's not like I drink coffee
with milk anyways), I think the taste of the cold brew is tolerable for people
that cannot take the bitterness of black coffee. Besides coffee, Toby's also
has a breakfast/food menu. For the breakfast menu they have granola with yogurt,
avocado toasts and more. For pastries, they sometimes carry Ovenly pastries(my
favorite vegan bakeshop) and donuts from Doughnut Plant. I strongly recommend
to order a donut to go with your coffee. Well, I guess everything pairs well
with a donut.
