The Sweatshop is a Melbourne style espresso bar located in brooklyn new york. The food menu also nods to the homeland via jaffles, Aussie-style grilled cheeses that, naturally, can be ordered with vegemite. The creators Luke Woodard and Ryan De Remer studied design together in Melbourne, australia and now live in the East Village and Williamsburg. When you walk into Sweatshop, you might see Woodard in the office area behind the espresso counter, tweaking some designs for Standard, his line of skiing and snowboarding socks. Or you might see De Remer working on his line of five-panel hats, Bustin. In the warmer months, more seats will open up in the sunken front patio, and you'll be able to order an Australian-style iced coffee consisting of espresso, cold milk, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
