% Arabica

% Arabica is the New York flagship of the Kyoto-based global coffee brand, perched at 20 Old Fulton Street with one of the most photographed views in DUMBO — a direct line of sight at the Brooklyn Bridge framed by the cobblestone streets of the historic Fulton Ferry District. The minimalist, white-tile interior reflects the brand's signature design language: clean, bright, and built around the coffee bar as a focal point. Outdoor seating along the cobblestones makes it a destination for both serious coffee drinkers and Instagram-driven tourists. The coffee program centers on a proprietary house blend roasted in Hawaii from beans sourced through % Arabica's own farms and direct relationships in the producing countries. The signature drink is the Kyoto Latte — a delicate, well-balanced cappuccino-format milk drink that has become the brand's calling card around the world. Espresso is pulled tight, milk drinks are precise, and the experience is engineered to feel the same in DUMBO as it does in Kyoto, Hong Kong, or Dubai. Expect lines on weekends; weekday mornings are calmer and let you appreciate the room.
