A greenery grid dangles overhead as you sip house-roasted brews and take in the contemporary architecture and cool social scene at Coperaco Café. The first American café from this New York based crew of coffee roasters, the space is total eye candy with structures built within structures within other structures. Located just outside NYC in Harrison, New Jersey, this spot is an obvious must-add to any design lover’s coffee shop list.

Green Scene
Coperaco has all the warmth of a beautiful, old greenhouse with a solid dose of modernism splashed in to make the space feel thoroughly unique. Sunlight floods in while structures within the space create a sort of elevated treehouse feel. Ivy drips from the ceiling and climbs along the walls, complementing the otherwise white and wooded room. If you’re looking for a space to throw a shower, surprise party or espresso themed gathering, this could be the place for you.
You Can Live Upstairs
The gorgeous greenery filled café is housed in an Urby development, which means you can actually live right upstairs. Urby offers boutique hotel-like accommodations for long-term renters, and this location is complete with not only the café but a heated outdoor swimming pool too. Check it out if you’re in the rental market for something with quick city access.
Harrison
Located in New Jersey’s Harrison, Coperaco Café is a quick commute from NYC via the Path, and yet it feels light years away from the chaos of Manhattan. It’s an easy destination for a weekend brunch outside the City with your gal pals, and it’s equally fun as a stop over when you’re on your way to the Shore with a whole beach crew. Just don’t forget to get your buzz on with their never ending espresso.
