Gotham Coffee Roasters

Gotham Coffee Roasters was created by Chris Calkins, whose career in specialty coffee dates back to some of the earliest chains on the West Coast and who was mentored by Alfred Peet. The team has spent their lives in coffee and sees the craft with a long‑term perspective. Their modern company focuses on quality and maintains close working relationships throughout the supply chain, partnering with small importers and exporters to promote economic sustainability for producers. Roasting in Brooklyn, Gotham sources coffees from around the world and offers seasonal blends, single‑origin micro lots and subscriptions. Their Flatiron café at 23 West 19th Street, opened in 2017, serves meticulously roasted coffees that highlight unique characteristics—such as micro lots from women‑run farms in Brazil—while providing a welcoming space for New Yorkers to enjoy their brews.
