Field Study at Car Part Time

Field Study is a specialty coffee bar that runs inside Car Part Time, a licensed collector car dealer and clubhouse behind an unmarked garage front at 904 Grand Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Car Part Time opened in March 2026 as a rotating display of six collectible cars in a raw concrete room with a central bar, a lounge and a listening station curated with the Freakout Spot record shop; Field Study is the coffee program inside it, and the reason a car person and a coffee person can both book the same hour.

The coffee side is serious. The four behind it are Norberto Peña of Obscure Coffee, Leeor Waisbrod of Three Legged Cat, barista Bobby Marchione and Danny Toro, the 2024 US AeroPress champion, and the bar roasts its own coffee alongside guest roasters. Service is reservation only: you book a one hour seat online and either order from the regular menu or take the coffee omakase and guided tasting. There is no walk in counter and no takeaway queue.

The cars are the showroom's stock, so they change as they sell. You cannot see them without a ticket to the coffee, which is the whole design: the listing is the eatery, the showroom is the attraction behind it, and Car Part Time also runs its own events, including a Coffee and Cars.

A booked hour of specialty coffee inside a working collector car showroom.

• Reservation only, one hour slots booked online; regular menu drinks or a coffee omakase with guided tasting.
• Six collector cars on the floor at any time, rotating with the dealer's stock, so what you sit beside is never the same twice.
• House roasted and guest roaster coffee from a team including the 2024 US AeroPress champion.
• A listening station curated with Freakout Spot, a bar and lounge seating in a 2,000 square foot concrete room.
• An unmarked frontage on Grand Street; look for the garage door with windows.
• Car Part Time's own events, including a Coffee and Cars, are posted separately on its socials.

• Book before you go; there is no walk in service. Reservation slots are published on Field Study's Instagram and booking page, with weekend daytime hours listed; confirm the current days there.
• Prices for the omakase and tastings are not published; expect specialty coffee pricing.
• The cars are for sale and change without notice; the coffee is the constant.
