A 'Breaking Bad' Inspired Coffee Shop Is Coming To Brooklyn

Brooklyn's Williamsburg is slowly growing to be likened to Manhattan's Times Square. In fact, one of its newest upcoming establishments includes a coffee shop, inspired by the AMC series "Breaking Bad" and Walter White (Bryan Cranston) himself, hence the name: Walter's Coffee Roastery.

Walter's Coffee was created by 28-year-old Deniz Kosan and first opened his meth lab coffee shop in Istanbul just a year ago. Supposedly called "Heisenberg Coffee and Roasting," Kosan has long wanted to put up branches of the coffee shop in the U.S. and Europe, Food World News reports.

So it's probably a huge deal that they're about to open one in Brooklyn this year. Fun fact: Kosan was supposed to open first in Brooklyn, but a key investor dropped out of the deal, as reported by Grub Street. A year, some viral marketing strategies, and some massive success in Istanbul, Kosan is now able to bring his dream to the stateside, and in the trendiest neighborhood in Brooklyn!

According to First We Feast, Kosan intends to open the first U.S. outlet of Walter's Coffee by the end of summer this year.

Kosan is currently looking at the corner of N. 8th and Wythe Street, just a block away from Brooklyn Brewery and the Wythe Hotel. And just in case that location doesn't work out, Kosan is thinking about moving the coffee shop in Bushwick instead.

Kosan is looking at the Brooklyn franchise as a place for people to "sit-and-linger," especially targeted for those who typically work from a café.

"Good comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and power outlets: A coffee shop with all three is really rare to find, like it's a unicorn," Kosan explained. "But no one in 2016 is working in offices anymore. We want people to feel comfortable sitting and working as long as they want."

Ever wondered where Kosan got the inspiration for Walter's Coffee? Apparently, it points back to a specific scene featured in the series. Deniz says, "In addition, if you watch the TV show again and again for like the third time, you see hints and details you couldn't see the first time, and there is a lot about coffee going on during the show."
