Gimme Coffee is why you should stop drinking Starbucks and support your local coffee shop. Hell, even if Gimme isn't local, you should support it. Its worth the trip.
The coffee is top notch and the espresso is to die for. The prices are about average and maybe a little less than you'd pay at other local java joints but the quality really does stand out.
The majority of their traffic is in and out so the seating is fairly limited but if you can grab a booth with a few friends, the room is very sunny, well lit, and pleasant with a monthly exhibit of local artistry. Great place to study if you're hanging around brooklyn during the day.
