At the end of July, we turned over the reins of the Sprudge Instagram account to one Jeremy Paul Hernandez, or @thejetboatadventurer. A self-styled โfreelance photographer, coffee and wine enthusiast, and service industry veteran,โ Hernandez took us on a four-day frolic through the new and exciting cafes in New York City. With his second IG takeover, Hernandez took us to spots new and under the radar.
These oft-underhyped spots really complete the NYC coffee scene and make it one of the best in the entire world. And it was these shops that exist outside traditional NYC cafe crawl fodder that had us champing at the bit to get back and take a visit for ourselves.
Because of this wanderlust, weโre memorializing into written word Hernandezโs latest NYC takeover, so that would-be sojourners can have a snapshot of cafes worth visiting in the Summer of 2022 to help guide them in their own trips to off-the-beaten-bath but nonetheless exceptional cafes. Take me back to NYC, I want to go back.

Since summer is in full swing here in NYC weโll start off with my go to cooling beverage, at Edith’s in Brooklyn. Itโs a tahini, oat milk, coffee slushy and itโs perfect.

Terremoto is a small but mighty cafe on West 15th near Chelsea Market. I love their selection of roasters and focused approach to brewing.

Land To Sea

I asked my friends what their new favorite coffee shop is and this shop was recommended the most and after a few visits itโs easy to tell why. Theyโve been open for nine months, serve Sey Coffee, have local art on their walls, and two seating areas inside in addition to outdoor seating. I had a very refreshing matcha lemonade on a hot NYC summer afternoon on my most recent visit. From their website: โweโre a coffee shop and creative space that puts community and culture first.โ

Today we visit with veteran Barista and apprentice roaster Amanda Figueroaa at Gotham Coffee Roasters on West 19th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. We caught up over an iced AeroPress of Kenya, Nyeri County Peaberry about Amandaโs progress with roasting, favorite preparations, and much more. We met in 2020 and itโs been exciting to watch her progress and focus on her career. I canโt wait to see what sheโs working on next.
