On a recent weekend afternoon, Jeremy Mustakas flitted between working the barista station and helping scoop ice cream for local Crown Heights families. Earlier this month, the Brooklyn-raised, bespectacled business owner opened Elsie's Parlor (667 Classon Avenue, 718-717-8654) in the space that once held Crosby Coffee, which he also owned.
It's the second business named after his Italian-American grandmother, following a nearby doughnut and coffee kiosk down the block. Now the bustling Brooklyn neighborhood has double the homemade treats and responsibly sourced caffeine.
