The Provincial Brew: Nueva Colombia on the Waterfront of Williamsburg

Hand-picked, fair-trade coffee beans shipped from Columbia’s wild and untamed areas are in DEVOCIÓN cafe in Brooklyn, Williamsburg within 10 days. They promise the freshest, richest taste available.

Devoción’s mission is to collect beans from some of the hardest-to-reach, remote areas of Columbia. The cafe’s owner, Steven Sutton, a columbian native, wanted to bring the richest flavor available to the American Coffee community, bringing back a nostalgic piece of his childhood. Columbia’s soil is the best for coffee harvesting, having a unique landscape profile.

“A huge part of the experience is the ambiance,” said Monica Gonzalez Jurado, a Columbian native and frequent guest. “It feels like home, like Bogota. It’s like I’ve found the perfect mix of nature and urbanization, and this spot happens to have one of the best coffees i’ve ever tasted.”
