second tier espresso at Sey Coffee

Lovely interior, very clean and open. The staff were so kind. We tried an iced oat latte, flat white, and two of their espressos. We loved all the drinks and the complimentary simple syrup was AMAZING. One of the best lattes I've ever had. Would definitely come back again for a sit down coffee

Cold brew

Came shortly before 10 AM on a Sunday and there was no line. Upping to 5 stars because the espresso with oat milk and drip coffee were both amazing! They also carry pastries from L'imprimerie.

Sey is the kind of coffee café that makes you rethink what coffee can be. Special thanks to Yelp Elite Joseph A. (LA) for recommending this hidden gem! Tucked away in Bushwick lies coffee lovers paradise! The space is airy, minimal, and filled with natural light--basically a sanctuary for coffee purists. There are no gimmicks, it's all about highlighting the beans and their origins with precision. Sey is a great spot if you want to slow down. The vibe is calm, almost gallery-like, with greenery softening the industrial setting. The baristas know their craft inside out and are always happy to walk you through the tasting notes like you're about to embark on a tiny flavor journey. The staff are all super great, love their vibes! My pour-over was Ethiopian coffee. Never in my life have a tasted Ethiopian coffee bean. Sey is not your average cup of coffee, it's an experience. Bottom line: Sey is a temple for serious coffee lovers, and once you've tasted their beans, it's hard to go back to regular drip.

Decaf mocha

This coffee shop is simply superior. From the service, to the ambiance, to the coffee itself, my whole experience at Sey Coffee will be a memorable one. The coffee here is more simplistic, but that's because the flavor is in the bean itself, not in all the sugary additives that you get at most cafes. This is more for the purists, and I love that. Funny enough, I can't drink a ton of caffeine as I'm sensitive, but their decaf espresso had a ton of depth. It made me actually enjoy sipping and savoring. The sparkling water that comes along side your drink wakes up the senses in between sips, and I found that oddly refreshing. It made each sip taste like the first. Aaron and the other staff were super friendly too. I enjoyed sipping and reading during my stay. It made for the perfect recharge. Hope this helps!

Of course the coffee is amazing at sey. The light roasts delivering such unique fruity and tea-reminiscent flavors. However, people should go and try their teas. So underrated, and both of the teas I tried there were some of my favorites ever. I even bought a box of the Nantou Dark Series Oolong Tea from taiwan. Song tea is amazing. Service is fantastic, space is beautiful.

Great vibes and great coffee! This coffee shop has an inviting interior that makes you want to hangout and enjoy your coffee. The coffee was delicious and hot which was great on a cold rainy day. The only thing that wasn't great was the cookie it was a bit tough and didn't have much flavor. Other than that it was great coffee, service, and vibes.

I've ordered Sey beans online before but the hubby wanted to experience Sey in person. It's a large space with plenty of seating depending on what time you arrive, is lit by naturally bright light coming in through the windows, and has a minimalist vibe to it. I ordered a dirty chai while the hubby ordered a mocha. Both were okay and the coffee roast is so light that the flavor of coffee didn't come through whatsoever. I think the best way to enjoy Sey might be via a pour over.

Nice coffee shop, but quite difficult to find, lol. Nice variety of seating and super friendly and pleasant folks here. Good coffee and welcoming atmosphere was perfect as a coffee shop, espcially after coming from a clinical feeling place just before this:)

Coffee beans

This is where you want to come as a coffee lover in NYC. So far it's unmatched for me. Fantastic experience from beginning to end. This shop is at the pinnacle of coffee roasting in New York City and the possibly the world. The small hot latte I had was one of the best I've had at a coffee shop. I also bought a bag of Jhonatan Pito beans and I love them already. I really appreciate the garage-style door and the plants; I can't wait to come back here when it's warmer!

High-quality coffee in BK! They do an amazing job of sourcing their coffee at Sey. The flavor is rich and smooth. The space itself is relaxing and casual. They have a strict rule when it comes to laptops (only allowed in certain sections). This is nice, but just keep this in mind if you want to work- if the laptop section is full, they will not let you use your laptop in the other areas.

very cute spot with some seating but definitely gets busy so may be tough to find a spot esp on the weekend, but vibes are good! i got a cortado with oat milk and my friend got a flat white with oat milk as well. the espresso was okay, not my personal favorite but i did like the taste with a higher milk to espresso ratio. i do want to go back and try the pour over. service was quick & there are pastries available

Tea
Michelle T.

Very light strong coffee with cute cups. The place is very cute and open and would not expect it in the neighborhood. I would skip the tea in the future as it felt like a cold brew tea and too light in flavor. But the coffee hot and cold were delicious.

Iced latte
Sharon M.

Best coffee in NY!! I could already smell the perfectly roasted beans from walking past this place. It's a great, refreshing coffee scent. I got an iced latte, and the taste was amazing! Good flavor, but not bitter at all, and was very smooth. The line might look intimidating at first, but coffee is actually really quick to make, so it's definitely worth it!

Really nice coffee shop inside with a great vibe. The coffee is good and in the back it is all glass, so you can see all the workers.

Cortado -- 9/10 A perfect balance of coffee and milkiness…read more Such a hearty little cup, full of deliciousness and care. Nitro Cold Brew -- 8/10 Smooth with a clean coffee flavor. The acidity was just right for my taste. The interior was spacious, with beautiful greenery and lovely furniture.

I genuinely love Devoción's coffee and atmosphere, which is why I decided to give it another chance…read moreafter almost a year away. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. This place has become more of an internet café than a coffee shop. People rush in early in the morning, claim tables and chairs with their laptops, and stay for hours. As a result, there's often no seating left for actual customers who simply want to enjoy a coffee, meet a friend, or spend a little time in the space. What makes it even more frustrating is that some people working on their laptops visibly show annoyance when others are talking nearby, rolling their eyes, sighing, and making "huffing and puffing" noises, as if regular conversation in a coffee shop is an inconvenience. That shouldn't be normalized. Coffee shops are, first and foremost, social spaces where people gather and connect, not full-time coworking offices. If management wants to accommodate both groups, perhaps the square seating area in the center could be designated as a first-come, first-served laptop section. But regardless, something needs to change and the purpose of the space needs to be reconsidered. I no longer have the motivation to come here every day and spend money on coffee only to feel unwelcome or unable to find a seat. Until the policies change, I won't be coming back.
