Octavia Coffee
Coffee · 1 location · Brooklyn: Cobble Hill
This tiny pink-cupped Cobble Hill café is run by the same Brooklyn couple behind sister spots Little Zelda and Sorella, entirely self-funded with no outside investors. It's one of several small businesses the two run at once, alongside a two-decade history of Brooklyn ventures.
The Big Picture
Octavia Coffee is self-funded and founder-run, with no outside investors and no professional management layered between the owners and the shop. As a single Cobble Hill café open since 2020, it has little public labor or environmental track record to date. The two owners, Michael de Zayas and Jillian Schiavi, answer only to themselves.
