Each Bond Collective location is set in a dynamic neighborhood with a vibrant culinary identity of its own. The Bond Collective Neighborhood Guide blog series will feature some of the best restaurant, cafe, and bar options for our members to enjoy. Your Community team is always available to steer you in the right direction! At Bond Collective, we want you to love the space and neighborhood as much as we do, and as the old saying states, the best way to a person’s heart is through their stomach...
1. Irving Farm Coffee Roasters
Tucked away on the little back street of Irving Avenue, Irving Farm is the perfect place to escape the urban jungle and casually sip a steaming craft coffee. They also offer teas, sandwiches, salads, baked goods and more. If you’re coming later in the afternoon and want a bit of a harder drink, they are happy to sell you beer or wine to complement your caffeine fix.

12. Breads Bakery
While it’s technically known for its out-of-this-world baked goods, there’s no reason you can’t continue your Java Journey into one of the tastiest establishments in NYC. We recommend pairing a frothy coffee with their Chocolate Babka, and we won’t even judge you for eating the whole thing.

15. Piccolo Cafe
When you’ve got a case of the Monday’s, Piccolo Cafe is a solid spot for a Truffle Egg Sandwich with an Italian-Roasted coffee. If you’re in both a sweet and a savory mood, try one of the breakfast sandwiches with a Nutella tart (or three).
