About Do Not Feed Alligators

Do Not Feed Alligators began as an artsy West Village café created by photographer David Shama. Conceived as more than a coffee shop, it combines specialty coffee, wine and cocktails with a love of books and art. The café sources single-origin beans from small roasters like La Cabra and Prodigal, brewed as pour o vers or espresso. The space is described as a creative hub where patrons can enjoy curated coffee alongside art books and community events. Its backyard adds a welcoming atmosphere, and the shop has earned praise for its chic design and emphasis on quality coffee and pastries.
