Two For the Pot

Two for the Pot is a magical, pocket-sized, neighborhood epicerie that has been serving Brooklyn Heights for over 50 years. It’s a dimly-lit curiosity shop for coffee and tea lovers, packed floor to ceiling with bags of aromatic coffee beans, brewing paraphernalia, spices, tins of loose leaf tea and cookies, cookware, and odds and ends for entertaining. John, the gentle owner, is a fixture at the shop and meticulous with customer service. I’m a regular; I buy a weekly bag of custom-blended coffee beans and we have a chat about politics and life. This week John accidentally mixed up my order with another customer’s because we both (unusually) sent our husbands in to pick up our orders. John later realized the error and took the time to find my contact info via a mutual friend, email a sincere apology, and offer to bike a free bag of coffee to my doorstep. Small-town caretaking is what makes Two For the Pot so special to our neighborhood, and makes this neighborhood such a special place to live. And while he used to be cash-only, he now takes Venmo. Thank you John!

Love this place. Coffee and tea for all preferences and many many other teacoffearound things. Even my so beloved Hawaiian Kona! Don't forget to take cash with you,as they don't take cards.

I’ve flown more than 17,000 miles to get Market Spice tea from Two For The Pot! Well worth it! 😉 Great selection has of teas, spices, and other worthy kitchen items.

A true small business operating since the 70s with a fantastic selection of quality teas and spices. The owner takes great care in his craft. Rare gem!

A cute little gem of a spice & tea shop tucked away right off the corner of Clinton & Atlantic in Brooklyn Heights. Got some authentic Earl Grey & Moroccan Mint 🎉So nice to find good loose tea shop in a sea of packaged tea boxes around. John, the proprietor, was so patient with me! Can’t wait to come back and explore with more time on my hands. 🫖☕️🤍
