"After several years of renting roasting time on a colleague's equipment on Long Island, Brooklyn, New York-based City League Coffee has launched operations in a dedicated production space. Inside a multipurpose building known as The Whale, not far from City League's Bay Ridge cafe, a brilliant turquoise Diedrich drum roaster anchors the approximately 800-square-foot City League roastery. The brand has also opened a coffee bar in The Whale's lobby."
"It was important for it to be here in our own neighborhood, not only for our commute from our own home here in Sunset Park and the close proximity to our current shop, but we wanted to continue to remain where we began,"
"With additional space available for events, City League christened the new roasting home with a holiday market last December that included more than 20 local vendors, plus live DJs, food and mini-futsal games for kids organized by building-mate Brooklyn City F.C. There was also a bar sponsored by frequent coffee-beer collaborator Sixpoint."
City League Coffee moved from renting roast time to opening an approximately 800-square-foot roastery and lobby coffee bar inside The Whale in Sunset Park near its Bay Ridge cafe. The space features a turquoise Diedrich drum roaster and room for events. The family-run company used the new venue to host a holiday market with more than 20 local vendors, DJs, food, mini-futsal and a Sixpoint-sponsored bar. Plans include coffee tastings, wholesale training and community education. City League began in 2018, previously roasting on a Probat P12 at Flux Coffee, and opened its first cafe in early 2023.
