Bee's Knees Provisions

Bee's Knees Provisions on Smith Street is a hybrid coffee shop, brunch spot, and cocktail bar that opens daily for coffee at 8am and runs through the evening. The cafe sources from City League Coffee — a hyper-local Brooklyn roaster — and pairs the coffee program with a serious cheese-and-charcuterie selection that gives the space genuine multi-daypart range. The coffee program is well-executed third-wave, the cheese case is one of the more serious in south Brooklyn, and the evening cocktail and wine program transforms the room into a proper neighborhood bar. A single space that handles multiple roles without compromising on any of them — a useful Cobble Hill anchor.
