Partners Coffee
Specialty roaster & café · 3+ locations · NYC
Partners Coffee looks like your classic indie Brooklyn roaster: three cafés, same two owners since 2012. But its workers unionized in 2024, two years on there's no contract, and the union has accused it of refusing to bargain.
The Big Picture
Partners Coffee has had the same two owners since they opened it in Brooklyn in 2012, with no outside investors. Its workers unionized in April 2024 but had no first contract two years later, and in May 2026 the union accused the company of refusing to bargain, a charge that was unproven and still open as of July 2026. The company answers to its founders.
