Rhythm Zero

Coffee · 3+ locations · Greenpoint, Williamsburg, West Village

Rhythm Zero built a cult following in Greenpoint pairing espresso with museum-quality art, then expanded to Williamsburg and the West Village. Co-founders Ivana Somorai and Aleksandar Tosic still run every location themselves, with no outside investors found in state or federal funding records.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Rhythm Zero is fully owned and run by the couple who founded it, with no outside investors on record anywhere. As a young, three-location café chain, it has little public labor or environmental track record to weigh yet. It answers to its own two owners, Ivana Somorai and Aleksandar Tosic, not to a landlord, franchisor, or outside investor.
