Poetica Coffee operates a global cafe network and roastery, focusing on ethically sourced beans and craft beverages, with a growing emphasis on direct consumer engagement and brand storytelling.
Poetica Coffee has refunded Rep. Dan Goldman after a social-media post accused him of racism; the Civil Rights Division has opened a federal investigation to determine if public accommodations laws were violated. Goldman says he visited the Brooklyn cafe with his daughter for a restroom break and bought a coffee. The incident has intensified tensions in New York politics.
