You know that feeling when you find your spot. The place where you can actually get work done without fighting for a table. Where the coffee tastes exactly how you want it because you’re in complete control.
That’s what happens here. You walk in, craft your perfect cup with our premium self-serving machines, and settle into a space that feels more like a creative loft than a corporate chain. No waiting behind complicated orders or hoping someone gets your drink right.
The art on our walls rotates monthly with local Bushwick artists, but the experience stays consistently yours. Locals know we’re where you come when you need reliable, quality coffee without the pretense, the wait, or the guesswork.
The Café Galerie sits in the heart of Bushwick’s creative corridor, where street art meets coffee culture. We understand what this neighborhood values – authenticity, creativity, and spaces that actually work for how people live and create.
We’re not trying to be the most Instagram-famous spot on the block. We’re the place that makes sense for your day-to-day. Quality coffee when you need it, space to think or collaborate, and rotating art exhibitions that connect with the community around us.
Bushwick has always been about doing things differently, challenging the status quo while building something real. That’s exactly the approach we bring to coffee and art under one roof.
Walk in and head straight to our advanced self-serving coffee stations. No complicated menu boards, no waiting for someone to call out a mangled version of your name. You select your blend, adjust strength and temperature, choose your milk preference.
The technology handles precision – optimal water temperature, proper extraction timing, consistent grinding. You handle personalization – exactly how much caffeine you need today and whether it’s an oat milk or regular milk kind of morning.
Take your perfectly crafted cup and choose your space. Browse the current art exhibition, dive into your laptop, or just enjoy having a moment that’s entirely yours. Our gallery features rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to discover when you need a mental break from work or want to engage with local creativity.

Reliable WiFi, abundant outlets, and seating designed for actual productivity. We know you’re here to get things done, not just grab and go. Plus, our Bushwick location means you’re paying fair Brooklyn prices instead of inflated Manhattan rates while getting a genuinely unique experience.
The process is intuitive – select your coffee type on the digital interface, customize strength and temperature, place your cup, and press start. The machine grinds beans fresh, heats water to optimal temperature, and extracts your drink to exact specifications.
You control every variable that matters – caffeine strength, milk alternatives including oat and almond options, temperature preferences, even cup size. Each drink is made individually when you order it, so you’re getting fresh coffee every time without relying on someone else’s technique or mood.
Our machines undergo professional maintenance and cleaning multiple times daily. They’re commercial-grade equipment designed for high-volume use, so reliability isn’t an issue when you need your caffeine fix most.
We eliminate typical coffee shop frustrations while adding unique value. No waiting behind complicated orders, no inconsistent results, no wondering if your drink will taste the same as last time.
Our rotating art gallery means you’re experiencing something genuinely different each month. Local Bushwick artists showcase work here, so you’re engaging with the neighborhood’s creative pulse, not generic coffee shop decorations.
Self-service means consistent quality regardless of staffing or rush periods. You get exactly what you want, when you want it, in a space designed to inspire rather than just caffeinate.
Absolutely – we designed our space with remote workers as a primary consideration. Fast, reliable WiFi, strategically placed outlets throughout, and seating options that accommodate different work styles from individual focus to small group collaboration.
Our self-serving coffee system means no interruptions to your workflow for refills. You can get up, make another cup exactly how you like it, and return to your work without waiting in line or dealing with complex ordering.
Our Bushwick location provides more space and a relaxed atmosphere compared to cramped Manhattan alternatives. Many locals use us as their regular office away from home because it simply works better than fighting for table space at traditional coffee shops.
We offer a full range of espresso-based beverages including lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and americanos, plus traditional drip coffee options. Strength adjustments from mild to extra bold, comprehensive milk alternatives including oat, almond, and traditional dairy.
Our coffee beans are premium selections chosen specifically for automated brewing systems. We work with roasters who understand flavor optimization for this technology – it’s not generic office machine coffee but carefully curated blends that maintain complexity through automated preparation.
Seasonal specialties rotate in regularly, and you can customize with natural syrups, adjust temperature precisely, and control every aspect of your drink. Our goal is giving you complete control over your coffee experience rather than hoping someone else interprets your preferences correctly.
We feature monthly rotations with different local Bushwick artists, from emerging talents to established neighborhood creators. This keeps the visual environment fresh and gives you ongoing reasons to pay attention to something inspiring while you’re here.
We select artists from the local creative community, so you’re seeing work that genuinely connects to the neighborhood’s artistic identity rather than random decorative pieces. Sometimes artists are present during installations or informal opening receptions.
Exhibition information is available in our space and through our social media. It’s part of our commitment to supporting the local art scene that makes Bushwick culturally significant beyond just being another Brooklyn neighborhood.
We’re positioned in central Bushwick with easy access via L train and multiple bus routes. Our current address and seasonal hour adjustments are maintained on our website since we occasionally extend hours for special exhibitions or community events.
We’re open daily with hours that accommodate both morning commuter coffee runs and extended afternoon work sessions. Our weekend schedule reflects the neighborhood’s more relaxed pace while still serving the creative community’s varied schedules.
Street parking follows typical Bushwick patterns, but most visitors walk, bike, or use public transit. We’re located to be part of your regular neighborhood routine rather than requiring a special trip, fitting naturally into how people already move through this area.
