Little Skips To Take Over Covert Coffee in June

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — The neighborhood’s favorite haven for lattes and MacBooks is extending its reach — Little Skips is coming to Broadway.

Little Skips will take over Covert Coffee at the intersection of Broadway and Hudson Boulevard near the Halsey Street station in June, Covert Coffee owner Aaron Mounier announced on Instagram.

Mounier told his followers the Little Skips takeover would only benefit the coffee shop’s patrons.

“You'll no longer have to endure my terrible stories while waiting to pay,” Mounier joked.

I am very excited to share that June 1st Covert Coffee will become part of a Bushwick Institution, "Little Skips!" And while you'll see some familiar faces gracing the shop, you'll no longer have to endure my terrible stories while waiting to pay. I'm leaving the shop in the very capable hands of the "Llittle Skips" team. I'll never be able to convey the sense of gratitude and appreciation that I feel towards every person who's walked through the doors at 1643 Broadway! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your lives. This past year and a half has been surreal. -Aaron

Covert Coffee has been doing business at 1643 Broadway for less than two years. When Little Skips takes over on June 1, it will make the third outpost of the ever-busy cafe on Myrtle and Willoughby avenues.

“I'm leaving the shop in the very capable hands of the "Little Skips" team,” wrote Mounier, closing with a note of gratitude to his patrons.

“Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your lives. This past year and a half has been surreal.”

Patrons responded with well wishes and demands to know whether the cafe would still serve Mexican hot chocolate.

"I'll try and twist their arms," Mounier replied.
