A special 5 day Pop-Up Cafe opened to Williamsburg residents on Monday, bring Latino flavor back to the neighborhood where it once thrived. Art and Music are the backdrop for this delicious tasting of one of the premium coffee brands many of our families grew up with.

I hung out there today to get some work done, listen to energizing music and connect with my neighbors (I live not too far away). I did a few consults and drank lots of coffee… how could I resist? It is delicious and FREE. I even had a moment to chat with Ms. Jackie Cruz from Orange Is The New Black that came in to have some cafecito time of her own.

It is an open invitation for the Brooklyn community to sample a cuban inspired daily grind served 5 different ways cortadito, cafe con leche, cafecito, Bustelo cool or iced cafe. The dynamic experience includes an interactive photo booth, complimentary wifi and charging stations, lounge seating, online mechandise showcase and a special pastelito, empanada and cafcito fueled celebration at 3:05 which is known as the official #CafecitoTime in Miami (shout out to @JennyLeeIsMe, the creator of this movement on social media).

It started on Thursday but you still have 3 full days to come down with some friends and recharge over some Bustelo made the way you like it. There will be interactive demonstrations, giveaways, happening all the way thru the weekend and a bunch of performances. I will be there over the weekend to catch more live art from @itsaliving, custom latte art by Baristart, music from DJ Melange, a performance by the Beatbox House.

The Pop-Up Cafe is located at 101 Bedford Ave (off North 11th St) in Williamsburg and is open fron 8-7pm until Monday October 24th. Los Angeles and San Antonio are the next two stops on this tour. For more information please visit Java Cabana
