MIKES DONUTS
6822 5th Ave, Brooklyn
(718) 745-6980 - www.mikesdonuts.com
Forget Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme, they
cannot compete with Mike’s taste of a true,
authentic donut and coffee shop. Mike’s Donut
Shop has been stuffi ng donuts since 1976. The
shop remains family-operated with its owner Mike
and his wife, Christina. Mike has trained his son
Gus and son-in-law John to bring the fresh donut
experience to the next generation of the Bay Ridge
community. Mike’s Donut Shop bakes everything
on the premises twice a day. There are around 35
mouthwatering types of donuts including jelly and
cream, glazed, marble cruller and boston cream.
Because the donuts are made fresh every day, they
are light, soft and a bit chewy with just the right
amount of sugar to satisfy any sweet tooth.
BEST COFFEE SHOP FOR
GETTING WORK DONE
HUNGRY GHOST
253 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn
(718) 483-8666
If you’re looking for a relaxing place to work
remotely, look no further than Hungry Ghost.
Many cafes can master the art of steaming milk.
Once you drop a ristretto (1.5oz of espresso)
in a latte, many of the nuances of the espresso
blend are masked behind all that creamy
goodness, and it’s probably going to taste
good. But how many times can you walk into
a cafe and with confidence order an espresso
and expect a perfectly balanced extraction?
In Hungry Ghost’s opinion, not very often.
From the roasting, to the grind setting, boiler
temperature, tamp style, even the humidity and
temperature of the air inside the cafe affects
the way espresso falls into your cup. At Hungry
Ghost, baristas are trained to know all these
elements and how to channel them into the
perfect shot.
