Worker-owned Boyfriend Co-op, new Queer Coffee Shop and Cocktail Bar in Brooklyn, profiled in Next City

It’s a coffee shop during the day, with coffee sourced directly from sustainable farms around the world and processed at a micro-roastery just a 20-minute walk away. In the evenings, it serves up cocktails and mocktails crafted using locally- or regionally-grown ginger, turmeric, tarragon, borage, corn, carrots, pea tendrils and apples.

It’s also a worker-owned cooperative. You know, that thing where the workers collectively own and democratically manage a business instead of a traditional structure with a single entrepreneur or shareholders at the top holding all the power and extracting all the profits made by exploiting or abusing workers at the bottom.
