Partners Coffee — Cafe & Roastery

By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. For better or worse, it is up to both the customer and the business owner to stop plastic waste at the source. Upon visiting this coffee shop, and looking around the room, it’s clear that most people have no idea to even ask for reusable mugs, which you do indeed offer. While I am relieved you offer a choice to reduce trash, I do wish that you would communicate it more clearly and more regularly to your customer base, so that we can reset this awful, wasteful, cultural norm that has become muscle over the past few decades. Perhaps that means the barista asking customer specifically if they will be enjoying their drink for here. Perhaps that also means offering a minimal discount to people who bring in their own mugs, and communicating that discount. Perhaps it could mean having a sign out that reminds people that they have a choice to be better to the planet, and that mugs are available at the shop. I know having more mugs to wash could be a strain on a dishwasher or on the person doing dishes, but you clearly have some infrastructure to do so, since you do offer some meals in reusables. In a neighborhood as progressive as this one, that also borders the waterfront, it seems absurd to me that this much trash gets created in one sitting, at one coffee shop. I hope you take my words as a kind suggestion, not as ridicule. To current or potential customers reading this, know that you can ask for your coffee in a reusable mug, but you have to be explicit. And to the folks running the store, I hope you can do more to communicate this option to customers. We are our only hope when it comes to mitigating both the plastics crisis and the overarching climate crisis. Thanks for your consideration!

Stopped by Partners Coffee — Cafe & Roastery for the first time and had a great experience! The original shop’s ambiance is welcoming and stylish. I ordered a drip coffee and an iced latte. The drip coffee was rich and full-bodied, and the iced latte was smooth and refreshing. A fantastic place for quality coffee in a cozy setting. Definitely worth a visit!

My go to coffee shop in Williamsburg! Hip and cool, lots of seating inside and outside. The coffee is excellent, roasted in-store, the food menu could be a little more creative but overall top-quality place. Can get crowded when yoga, pilates, crossfit classes end close by. Love the option of ordering online and collecting coffee when ready.

Stopped in for an iced latte and was pleasantly surprised by the size of this coffee shop and the cool a/c on such a hot day. They were very quick with the order and the iced latte was good. They had some seasonal specials that sounded good but were a bit pricey for $7.

Great coffee spot!! Espresso drinks are fantastic, lattes are strong and taste great. Pretty spacious places with some outdoor seating as well. This is just one of multiple locations this coffee brand have.

Lovely avocado toast with eggs. Nice to have the little side portion of strawberries

The restaurant was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. It reminded me of a scene from the movie The intern. It is very crowded and difficult to sit down.

I did not understand the hype around this place. It was jam packed with people inside and out and there wasn't really a good place to wait for your drink without being in the way. I also personally found the coffee weak and sour. Again personal taste but when I ordered a large Americano (16oz) and it came in an 8oz cup with only a single shot and mostly water I was very disappointed. Again maybe it was a matter of personal taste but the brew was weak for an Americano. I couldn't even ask a question after as the staff were "done" with me once my drink was on the bar. So I left disappointed having spent $6 on something I didn't even end up drinking.

4.0 / 5.0 Cafe on location of a famous movie. Perhaps because it was full of customers during the daytime on a holiday.It was a pity that there were no pastries at all. The coffee has a sour taste and a clean aftertaste. The interior of the store is very beautiful with high ceilings and open space with sunlight! The staff are all very friendly! What I ordered was: ・Almond croissant ・Iced latte

Great coffee and food. They breakfast and lunch options to choose from and open late. Ordered the egg sandwich and a latte, both were excellent and the sandwich came with a mini fruit bowl. The place has a lot of seating but can get very crowded on the weekend so might have to wait for a seat to open up.

I consider going to Partners to be a special treat for myself - and lately I've been indulging in a lot of special treats. The inside of the shop is truly beautiful - high ceilings, unique decor, tons of sunlight, and that beautiful loft feel. It's the perfect place to have a cafe-working day, catching up with a friend after a workout, or a Sunday morning treat. After coming here many times for a coffee, I started buying my espresso beans here, and they've elevated my home coffee-drinking experience tenfold! My go-to is the Bedford blend, which was recommended to me by one of the kind people working there! My favorite drink (after trying several) is quick basic - an iced latte with their house-made vanilla syrup. The homemade vanilla syrup is actually incredible - not too sweet but with a rich vanilla flavor. Partners is one of my favorite coffee spots in the entirety of new york city and I will keep coming back forever and ever!

Came here this past Saturday. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I got an ice coffee, which was good. They seem very popular because they are completely filled. There was barely any standing room. It's an intimate space, so i wasn't able to sit inside, but i sat outside for a bit, but the outdoor area was crowded as well. The coffee is fine but I like coffee places you're able to sit and relax or do work and due to space and amount of customers that didn't seem possible for me. I'm not sure I'd be a frequent customer, but I'd stop by from time to time.

Went to the west village location great matcha latte and service was friendly great space with outdoor seating great for wfh and catching up Wouk friends

Partners has one of the best iced vanilla oat lattes I've ever had. It's overpriced -as nearly all lattes are- but at least I will get a delicious latte in return. Cons This location is CROWDED and there are no outlets. If you come during the week then it's much easier to find a seat, but if you want to work here on a weekend, it will be more difficult to do so.

I've the coffee and the ambiance of this coffee shop -- can't wait to go back to NY to try again

Came in to get some work done. The place was pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon. There were a mix of different people. Some were using the space to do work, others using the space to wind down and chat with friends. Got a vanilla latte. They make their syrups, so I knew I wanted to try it. You could see the specks of vanilla in the latte. It was good, but too sweet for my liking. Coffee is strong, and it's served at a good temperature. Background music is a bit loud, but the atmosphere is lively in general. There is free wifi that works well. Limited outlets. Bathroom could be cleaner. If you can work in loud places, it's not a bad place to get some work done.

Fresh and tasty options! I ordered this via doordash because it looked like fresh filling food options and yummy coffees. The food came in about 30mins from ordering so pretty quick service. The ambiance looks cute from photos but i did not visit. I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap in a spinach wrap. This was a good size, really full wrap. It was filled with roasted chicken, spinach, tomatoes etc. The tomatoes were flavorful and fresh. The red onion was good, but maybe too much? Its the lingering taste after eating. The chipotle sauce is also quite sweet, more of a spicy honey mustard. But overall, good wrap and great portion. This would be perfect for a light but filling lunch. I also had the matcha latte which was very grassy and bitter at the end, but in a satisfying way? Not overly sweet, but creamy and earthy. Good for matcha lovers

This is strictly for the online ordering. I've tried many different coffees and coffee websites and this is far and away the best. I cannot wait to try the Guatemala single origin.

WOW rarely am I blown away by an overpriced coffee, but Partners got it! Got a horchata oat latte and it was delicious. One of the best cups of coffee I had in a very long time. It is spacious inside with tables but it's always packed. Def a cute spot to work or catch up with friends.

As an espresso enthusiast, I find Partners Coffee beans to be consistently high quality. Their current featured espresso is a treat (notes of fig and hazelnut). The space is huge, but you'll likely need to wait to snag a seat since it's so popular. The food service is pretty slow though, so expect to wait. I accidentally bought a $15 breakfast sandwich since I wasn't smart enough to ask for the price of the unlabeled display item. Guess it was unlabeled for a reason!

Extremely gorgeous space for work/studying, with good internet but drinks were disappointing.Got the limited seasonal yuzu vanilla iced latte. Not going to lie, it tasted like Dunkin vanilla with no yuzu flavor at all. Was really let down by the cold brew as well. Would def come back for the space, but not the coffee

Took me awhile to decide on a coffee shop in the area, but decided on partners. Loved the whole cafe and the atmosphere inside. Friendly staff. Great coffee. Great lemon cake. I got curious and spoke to the coffee roaster. Thanks Scott for letting me ask my questions about your coffee roasting and for letting me introduce bellwether's electric roasting. I believe they're opening another location! Can't wait to see it. Salute from a Bay Area native!

I came here on a Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. Despite getting there pretty early, the cafe was crowded with parents and young kids/babies and there weren't many tables available. I brought my laptop hoping to get a few things done, but there were no outlets. I ordered an almond milk cortado, which was great. The baristas/cashiers were friendly and service was good.

Glad I got to try this cute coffee shop! Love the brightness inside and there's a decent amount of seating inside for the space Menu is clear and easy to read. I got a horchata iced latte. The espresso is smooth and not bitter. Not enough horchata flavor and a little too milky for my liking They also have seasonal drinks that you can only see if you're at the register. I wish it was propped up so I could see it when I'm in line FYI they have a rewards program and you get a coupon after your first visit

The black sesame cold brew here is perfection. Not too sweet, perfectly creamy, and a perfect pick me up no matter what time of day :)

No outlets, but decent seating options and strong wifi. Free water. Good for meals in addition to coffee and small pastries. Natural light and cute decor makes for a good place to get work done. Food came quickly. There's also outdoor seating. LOVED the latte

Partner's coffee has a great ambiance via remote workers. It's difficult to find seating due to the remote workers via laptops, etc. However, their coffee cup colors are super cute and match the take home coffee bags. The Arnold Palmer was refreshing as I web browsed while my Goddaughter was logging into a staff meeting. It's also great for people watching inside or outside. Service was pleasant and welcoming! I can't wait to try a hot beverage during my next visit for the hot cup color/logo and food choices.

Great ambiance, perfect to chill and work from laptop. Ice coffee was good. Service was good

Stopped in for an iced latte and was pleasantly surprised by the size of this coffee shop and the cool a/c on such a hot day. They were very quick with the order and the iced latte was good. They had some seasonal specials that sounded good but were a bit pricey for $7.

Full disclosure, I've never been here in person. But I'd heard they were awesome roasters, so we started ordering bags of beans from them since they ship nationwide. We've liked every single roast we've tried... so much that we gifted ourselves their coffee subscription for the holidays. Definitely try them out - if you're an out of towner, you can still have a taste of NYC every morning!

A cute coffee shop in the Williamsburg area. I came in on a Saturday morning, and most of the tables were filled, so we got our drinks to-go. I grabbed an iced americano, which was a little sour for my liking. My friend got one of the specialty drinks (the Black Sesame Cold Brew), which I enjoyed. I would definitely recommend trying out the Black Sesame Cold Brew if you're a fan of both those things. I really did enjoy the vibe inside the store and I liked the design and decor. I would be interested to come again and sit down either with a book or some friends.

Solid coffee spot! Pretty standard expensive coffee for Brooklyn with a nice variety of options. We had an iced latte and the seasonal date latte (lavender and dates), iced, and both were delicious! Nice, open, well-lit space with lots of small spots for reading or working, but apparently no outlets so no one can settle for hours and hours (a plus). They also offer a variety of food items, but there's no visible menu and the paper copies are available only at the front of the line so you have about 30 seconds to decide while ordering. Overall a good coffee spot! Would return.

Solid coffee shop in Williamsburg. Stopped by here on our stroll around Brooklyn and the coffee was decent. Tons of inside seating as well as outdoor seating for you to grab a coffee and catch up with friends. Would recommend for a quick pit stop if you are in the area - either solo to read a book/get some work done (no outlets) or to catch up with some friends.

Stopped by Partners when I was waiting to meet up with a friend. The interior is so cute and homey with bookshelves that span the walls on either side. I ordered the last banana Nutella muffin which was pretty good; crispy on the outside and banana-y on the inside. Honestly it could've used more Nutella. The latte was a bit expensive but nothing crazy. The staff didn't ask me if I wanted my drink for here or to go, which I wish they had, because i'd wanted my drink in a mug and I forgot to ask. This is a good place to meet a friend for a chat, but it's pretty noisy and crowded and can be hard to find seating.

It's hard to find a coffee shop that knows the perfect level of sweetness and flavor in a latte. They nailed it! More on the expensive side ($7 w/o tip) which I don't mind if it's good. I was disappointed with the customer service as the cashier was unfriendly and overall pretty rude. I rate this place a five because I don't like to judge service based on one person and think it was worth it'

Writing this review from the booth of Partners Coffee, there are about 8 round tables seated with a mix of friends catching up and those who wish for a change of pace from working out of their Williamsburg apartment backdrops. I am here on a weekday afternoon and when I ordered, there was no indoor seating available. There is some covered outdoor seating, but the rainy day and lack of tables led me to hover. I was able to grab a seat and have witnessed constant turnover, so be prepared to be assertive on a week day! I have been here twice and have only ordered their cold brew on tap. Their coffee is strong, but easy to drink. One star was taken off, only because the WiFi has been spotty (take this with a grain of salt-- this may have just been a today thing). I was able to connect to Madewell's Wifi (next door), but it was laggy.

The coffee here is really terrible and overpriced. Too bitter. The outside area is also a complete disaster. Their outdoor dining shed is falling apart and covered in graffiti. There's trash all around and built up along the shed and no one cleans it - filthy, disgusting and dirty.

On this sunny autumn afternoon, we biked our way to Partners coffee for a coffee break. We ordered a latte and a cold brew ahead of time and got our drinks quickly. I loved the ample outdoor seating at this location. You can sit in front of the cafe or across the sidewalk in the curbside shack. There are at least 15 chairs available along with bench seats in front. The cold brew was intense yet smooth and flavorful. I ordered it dark and it was just the refreshment I needed for the afternoon. The latte that my wife got was good, although there was quite a lot of bubbles when we opened the lid. Overall, I enjoyed my cold brew and all the available outdoor seating options available. There's also bike parking right in front of the cafe.

That Black sesame cold brew is something super serious , I have been dreaming about it ever since I had it. Might go later today to have it again , it was soooo good. This place is usually busy , waited a bit on a line to order but I was totally worth it.

My husband and I bought some socks at the Google store across the street and got two free drink tickets! We got two iced coffees for free. I think they had some issue with the iced coffee so we ended up getting upgraded to cold brews. The cold brews were perfect - tasted chocolaty and delicious while being nicely strong. Very cute and spacious coffee shop in Brooklyn with its own roaster.

Cute coffee shop in Williamsburg! Super cute decor but may be difficult to get a table. I got a dirty chai with oatmilk and while it was yummy, I thought it tasted like a Pret dirty chai and I was hoping for a little bit more. My friend got a cold brew and it tasted very acidic which we are personally not fans of. The coffee is solid but not necessarily my go to in the Williamsburg area.

I've been getting these beans shipped to me in Ohio ever since I tried them at a coffee shop in California. They're the best!

I got suckered by a few shills for this company describing how wonderful their Instant Coffee is. I'll tell you what it is: EXORBITANTLY OVERPRICED. I apparently didn't pay attention but $16 gets me six 8 ounce servings of Instant coffee from this company. I'm a bit of a "coffee snob" because I buy green beans, roast them to my liking, grind them an make fresh brewed coffee. But from time to time I use coffee for the caffeine pick me up. Even when I make Instant, I use filtered water to get the best cup. I'll tell you why I didn't notice that I was paying $2.60 a cup for Instant: It was not prominently displayed on the Partners website. For $2.60 I can buy half a pound of green beans and make MANY pots of coffee that are truly much better because I roast them to my taste. And I've found green beans from different parts of the World which are vastly different from one another. Even the most exotic beans I've bought don't "boil down" if you'll pardon the pun, to $2.60 a cup. Not even $2.60 a pot. I feel gypped and I feel like the sites who were playing up Partner's Instant coffee as something special were just shills paid to do exactly that. Maybe they got paid with $50 worth of Instant Partners coffee or 18 single serving packs. People at these sites that promote stuff like this must get paid for their writing. The writing isn't exceptional but it was convincing enough to get me to check Partners out. What I discovered is that when I want Instant I can do just as well with Taster's Choice or Folgers for a LOT less money

Cool coffee shop. Again another NY coffee shop with no syrups but choice of milk - for no extra charge I believe. I went with a hot latte. There was suppose to be simple syrup at the condiment bar but wasn't, I had to ask behind the counter for it. Nice cup of coffee, would be interested in trying what else they have to offer. I like their range of to-go cups too.

Super cute coffee shop, great for studying! My friends latte was fine -- the cold brew was quite sour though, so my friends recommended I ask if it went bad. The barista was nice and said that they had just changed coffee beans, and got me a regular coffee instead. Will have to be back to try other drinks, but would recommend staying away from the cold brew! Cute spot though.

This was my last stop before heading to the airport & it was in a cool little area. Tons of shops. This place was packed but they made the coffee quickly. Had really good flavor & inside was really cute. There is also an outdoor seating area.

Always have an amazing experience here. The baristas are so friendly, the food is amazing, and the ambiance is great. Luisa was my barista, they gave me great drink recommendations, and were super patient with me! I will definitely be a regular here now!

Food is consistently delicious and fairly priced. All things considered. The vegan parfait is to die for.

Excellent and expedite service. The coffee was exceptional, great aroma and body. Bought also a nice pretty cup with their name.

Loved the matcha latte and iced coffee we got. The ambience was chill, guests are not too loud, makes for a great quiet working / reading location with lots of seating and wifi. Not sure if I would do this, but the guy next to me was even on a conference call LOL. No chargers which was unfortunate. The playlist they had on was a tad bit too loud for me, but they had some Hillary Duff bangers (2000s pop, haha) that made a fun mood. Bathrooms clean and easily accessible (but they only have one), and the cashier and service was great. Would come again if I wanted guaranteed seating, reliable wifi, and a relaxed environment in the Williamsburg area.

Airy and spacious beautiful work space to enjoy your coffee. I ordered an iced latte - pretty average. Your typical latte in that area will run you about $5. Overall nice vibe.

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's high quality. This is a cool, vibey place with nice furniture and a nice atmosphere, but the coffee is absolutely trrrible My latte literally just tasted like foam in a cup for $7 + $2 tip = so $9 for a cup of foam If you get a plain coffee that's bad too. It tastes like Dunkin' coffee Cool atmosphere but I'm not keen to throw away my hard earned money on a bad cup of coffee Also there are just so many better places nearby like black brick coffee

A staple coffee shop in Williamsburg that many people come to sit and work in. After not being here for a while I was happy/surprised to see that this still remains true in a COVID 19 world. They also roast the beans here. The process takes place on the left side of the shop and you can take a peek. However this place is a bit snooty. You can tell by some very distinct types clicking away on their laptops, laughing loudly over coffee. I was not even greeted by the barista, she did not respond to my "good morning" and had a overall sour kind of attitude.

service was terrible , waited 20 mins for a burrito never came so I asked how long and they said the ticket wasnt processed through their pos. then one of the lady's asked do you want a refund ? I already waited more than 20 mins now so mind as well wait for the food to hopefully get started with.

Partners' coffee is great, but what makes this spot above and beyond is the spacious, sunlit space. There's ample seating, making this an inviting spot to enjoy coffee, catch up with a friend, or get some work done.

I am not sure why ,but since switching from Tobys to Partners Things are much better (and not just as this location) The espresso is very good (though i will need to try it thru out few locations to make sure consistency is there) and the blueberry muffin was excellent ,the idea that they make it in the premisses make the difference. Beautiful space !

Amazing coffee! Great service as the cafe was very close to closing at the end of the day and was still willing to serve us and few ppl after us in line. Delicious flat white and my iced mint julep was sooo nice. Can't wait to come back and try more
