The Big Picture
Sey Coffee is owned and run by its two founders, with no private equity, venture capital, or other outside investor on the record. It pays baristas $28 to $31 an hour under a no-tipping model that replaces gratuities with wages, well above the city's $17 minimum. One Bushwick café, no announced expansion: Sey answers to Lance Schnorenberg and Tobin Polk.
