Caffe Capri

Caffe Capri in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which had the best iced coffee we have ever had. It was so strong and flavorful and there was nothing better on a hot August day to cool you off. Sadly this lovely family-owned coffee shop closed in 2015 after being in business since 1974. We included this photo in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” and also interviewed Joe (the co-owner with his sister-in-law Sarah) and asked him why their iced coffee was so delicious and he told us the secret was that he made ice cubes using espresso, not water…so that when the ice cubes melted, they would not water down the coffee. What a brilliant idea!
