We say:
Second Stop is one of our favorite coffee shops in Williamsburg. The coffee served is Stumptown which is always a plus in our books. Their muffins (especially the donut muffin) and pastries are baked in house and are always tasty and fresh. We also love their new expanded menu which includes bagels, sandwiches, soup, salads, and light snacks.
Citysearch says:
Owner Paul Degruccio can still point out the divots in his café’s old wooden floor, made by his grandparents as they stood near the cash register of the Italian-American grocery store they opened in 1935. Today, it’s populated by Williamsburg’s attractive young hipster set, but yellowed family photos and antique bric-a-brac salvaged from the family-owned building lend a distinctly homey vibe, despite the indie rock playing in the background. Famed Portland roaster Stumptown provides the coffee (a rotating selection of four different beans that changes every two weeks), while ICE grad Merin Frazier bakes an innovative array of pastries in-house.
This place is awesome. I always liked the idea of a local coffee shop, but this one opens early, serves a mean bacon egg and cheese, and never dissapoints with any of their food. The folks on WIFI working there aren’t super intrusive and the people that work there are nice, not like other local coffee joints where if you don’t know coffe shop lingo you’re made to feel like an ass.
I hesitate to post because I don’t want the competition on my awesome service, but I can go with my 5 year old at 7:30am for french toast OR a 7:30 business meeting. Thanks second stop keep up the good work!!
