There are many coffee shops here, that claim to have the best, but Jack really does! Recently awarded Best Coffee in 2005 by NY magazine he attributes the rich, full-bodied flavor of his delicious drip coffee to the stir brewer, a device of his
own invention that oxygenates the grinds as they brew and
reducing their acidity. There's also his proprietary blend of
politically correct beans-certified organic, Fair Trade, and
shade-grown-micro-roasted up in Vermont.
The pastries are delightful – not too sweet and very fresh. I’m addicted to the pumkin apple muffin.
The atmosphere at Jack’s Stir Brew is perfect coffee-house - relaxed. Families mingled with village people. Starbucks can never duplicate such an authentic and personalized experience.
Jack’s Stir Brew is located at 138 West 10th St. between Greenwich Ave and Waverly Place in Greenwich Village. www.jacksstirbrew.com
