Devoción in Williamsburg - 69 Grand Street

A roastery as well as a cafe, Devoción is so serious about freshness that it "claims that its raw beans arrive from Colombia within days of being harvested," according to Eatery.

Sey Coffee in Bushwick - 18 Grattan Street

A "bright and airy" spot with a West Coast vibe and coffee with Nordic-style flavor, Sey "is regarded as one of the better microroasters" in the city, Eater writes.

Dayglow in Bushwick - 8 Wilson Avenue

New this year and straight out of Los Angeles, Dayglow carries coffee from more than one brand and roasts its own beans, "which have milk chocolate, lychee, butterscotch, and mandarin notes," according to Eater.

Villager in Prospect Heights - 841 Classon Avenue

An "ambitious coffee shop masquerading as a laid-back neighborhood cafe," Villager carries a variety of beans including those from other cafes on this list, like Sey and Dayglow, Eater says.

East One Coffee Roasters in Carroll Gardens - 384 Court Street

This coffeehouse's menu boasts pour-overs and standard cafe drinks—and its coffee is roasted on the premises, according to Eater.
