Quiet, comfortable East Village Spot

[NativeBKLYN]

Hello. I hope I haven't posted twice. My first try disappeared. In any case, would you all suggest a quiet, comfortable cafe where I can get a great cup of espresso and my guest can have a glass of wine around 4 in the afternoon. Neighborhood: Between 1st Ave and 5th, 8th St. to 17th St. Thank you.

Hello, All. Just wanted to say thanks. BTW, went to Tarallucci e Vino and coffee is very good. Also had a white wine on the menu from Marche, a rare (and tasty) find since not many restaurants carry wines from this region. It is a bit noisy outside after 5 PM, and there is thumping music inside, however, when we asked if the music could be turned down, the waitress politely accommodated us. Thanks, Kathryn.

Not a GREAT espresso, but maybe The Brindle Room.

For a more casual coffee shop you can try Mud Spot if it is not raining. They have a nice outdoor courtyard and a few interesting wines.

GREAT espresso + wine + 4pm + somewhere quiet and comfortable may be a very difficult quest.

All the great espresso places in the EV that I can think of either don't have a beer/wine license, or are past 1st Ave, or have nowhere to sit, or don't start serving wine until later in the day.

It'll probably be easier to find a wine-focused place that happens to serve decent/good espresso, rather than vice versa.

Maybe Taralluci e Vino?

Kathryn, Thanks for your reply. Looks like Taralluci e Vino works.

Hearth has a wine bar. Deici is also in the radius. Northern Spy is only a touch eat of 1st Ave. Casa Mano. I'll try to think of more later.

Though around 4pm, pretty much every place will be quiet. Provided it's open.

Dieci doesn't open until 6pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends.

Casa Mano = Casa Mono?
