Principles GI Coffee House

In Gowanus, Principles GI is a community cafe that feels part workshop, part bike shop, part living room. It’s spacious and quirky, with friendly staff and a genuine welcome for cyclists, complete with tools and pumps. The coffee program is serious: an exquisite selection of special, rare and eclectic beans, and the treats are vegan — in fact, it’s all vegan. Pricing is transparent and inclusive, with no tipping required.
