Fort Greene is popping with new cafes trying to get in on the scene. Tillie's is the scene. Nothing fancy, just good coffee, tea, and snacks (from meat to vegan) and a great place to read, chat or work. Art on the walls rotates generally among local Pratt-affiliates, open mic nights are friendly affairs when the place would otherwise be dead, and the bulletin board is really used by the community. In a great move, wi-fi is free but plugging in isn't allowed so everyone gets a chance and no one sets up shop all day. \r

If it's crowded, split a table with a stranger. Share the Brooklyn love. \r
