Cup Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Although Cup's Brooklyn locations are in tiny storefronts, they're hard to miss thanks to the bright-green color scheme. That cheery choice continues into the interior, where patrons find baristas creating drinks—both hot and cold, simple and complex—from coffee, espresso, and tea. The caffeine fix can be enjoyed in the few chairs on site, but most take it to go for their commute or a chill-out session at the park. Daily trivia questions reward know-it-alls (or skilled Googlers) with some change knocked off their purchase's price, and return customers often opt for a frequent-buyer's punch card.
