We've gotten a few emails about Joe on Church Ave asking nieghbors about turning his deli into a coffee shop. Go give Joe your 2 cents. Here's one email:
Joseph who currently owns a deli on Church Ave next to the giant pharmacy on Ocean Parkway is telling anybody who will listen that he is planning on turning the deli into a coffee shop with fresh juice, outdoor seating and"the free internets".

Sounds good. I my wife and my son all use the Flatbush CO-OP daily to get fresh green juices (celery, cucumber etc..) and/or carrot, apple, watermelon etc.. They will (for just under six bucks...) make a large juice fresh from any combination of items in their produce section. A closer option would be very nice!
If he sells dog leashes, and paddy wacks I'm so there
Ugh, more coffeeshop talk? What this neighborhood needs is a bait shop so we can continue to feed the trolls (r-ny).
Yes, please. Decent coffee, cozy decor, and I'm there! I can't believe Kensington STILL doesn't have at least one cafe in the neighborhood.
Dude, I totally went old school blog with that paddy wacks comment.. a troll I am not... A lover of imported Mexican bathtub cheese, now that gives me a stiffy.
Yeah, he found me the other day and asked me this too (I think "Yuppies like you" was what he called me, which is funny, and I guess true)
He's thinking either his deli there (btw E5 and OP on Church) OR where the tax-man works on E2 and Church, with some outdoor seating. He said "Nice coffees, and TVs with Pay per View" and I have no idea what that means, OTB?
I wouldn't get too hopeful about organic juices and lounge-style, but who knows
OTB.. off track betting..

As a lifelong resident of Kensington (or as you over-caffeinated transplants call it, K-town), I am offended and disgusted by all this excitement over coffee shops. A coffee shop does not a quality neighborhood make. This attitude REEKS of the "I settled for Kensington," business (which I've seen many times), AKA "I got priced out of Park Slope." Since when is it not enough to get some coffee at the corner store?
"This is what Kensington needs!" Stuff it... Coffeeshops. Japanese food. Outdoor restaurant patios. Thai (no, wait, I forgot--there are too many of those, which now makes Thai passe). It's all fine and charming and oh-so ethnically diverse until you get bored and start pining for a coffee shop within walking distance. How do YOU know what Kensington needs?
I don't understand the anger at wanting amenities here. So having to go to other neighborhoods for certain foods and items rather than being able to support local business equals loving Kensington more? And thinking it would be nice to have a place to go sit with a friend and have a cup of coffee makes you a snob who settled? This attitude makes absolutely no sense. We live here because we really like it here--there were many neighborhoods that we looked at and could have moved to. We love the ethnic shops and the diversity of the community. Also thinking some more options within the neighborhood would be nice does not lessen that in any way. Frankly, if there is any elitism, it's from the attitude of "I love Kensington more because I don't want anything to change--nothing new or different moving in." Do you also hate the new falafel shop and the new toy store on Church? Do you hate that Foodtown is now renovated? Where do you draw the line?
As I sit waiting in the DC Amtrak Acela area for a rid eback to my veloved Kensington I can't help but think, what a cool bunch of neighbors. Fran take a breath don't be a hater-hater perhaps the local "K-town" yoga in your home lady might be a good idea...
and Chris I'm shocked that you can get to the community garden what with your being banned from lurking around the library handing our Ron Paul lit and all...
And yes I would enjoy, and patronize, a local Kensington business with fresh juices, I do intentionally eat at the falafel place and NYC ICY and will do the same for a new coffe shop.
I don't presume to know what is good for all of Kensington was just on the fresh juice et al, voicing a personal opinion, to which each and everyone of us is, last I checked, entitled. Whewww....i need a cup of coffee bbl gotta catch the train!
neighborhoods will change, like it or not.
Kensington needs hotter women.
Chris, don't lose your faith in the free market now!
My neighbor has an unsecured wireless network that my lappy picks up, so today I changed all of his settings.
Today is a good day.
the last thing we need here is another overpriced shop (between 3 dollar slices of pizza and 5 dollar falafels, i can't afford to eat out near home) that will only attract more hipster kids and raise everyones rent, as high rises spring up and we get priced out of (yet another) neighborhood. I'm not a life-long resident, but i like where i live and moved here LOVING the fact that there are no hip bars or restaurants to gentrify the neighborhood. Don't you realize you're only 15 minutes from park slope? why do we need so much crap here?
