Destination: Devoción Coffee & Roastery
If you like fresh coffee, you’re going to love Devocion: It's one coffee shop that really stays true to its mission of delivering carefully sourced coffee beans to its patrons. Every cup of coffee brewed at Devocion has been roasted with beans from hand-selected farms in areas of Columbia that have been suffering from internal conflict.
As an extra measure, Devocion makes sure to participate in fair-trade practices, even investing in social and environmental programs to help farmers thrive. Once harvested, the coffee beans are then shipped via FedEx and roasted here in NYC -- making a difference in the lives of Columbian farmers and bringing you the freshest coffee possible!
Devocion has three locations in the New York City area -- including Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn and Flatiron in Manhattan (their newest location). You’ll know it's Devocion by the golden yellow panel with black lettering.
On the other side of the wooden doors you’ll be immersed in a world that brings pure Colombian flavor to life. The fragrant aromas aren’t the only things that’ll beckon you to stay -- the interior decor at this “botica de cafe” is as tropical as the beans themselves. Inside you’ll find foliage-lined walls with plants of different kinds, WiFi, outlets, large windows and plenty of seating. The rooftop windows at Devocion let in plenty of sunlight and provide a lovely view of trees cascading above. The calm and inviting ambiance makes this a great spot to study, work or chat with friends over an iced latte.
You don’t have to take it iced, though -- Devocion also offers hot coffees, cold brews, aromatic infusions and a unique array of pastries to satiate your cravings, all of which start at around $5. Fan favorites include the guava croissants. Just remember to bring your debit cards as this is a cashless establishment, so paper bills will not be accepted.
