The name of the coffee shop has nothing to do with the exercise Pilates; it refers to the taste palate as well as the physical wooden pallets that comprise much of the new coffee shop’s interior. Palates, located near the Knickerbocker M stop at Wilson and Greene Avenue, is a brand new establishment in the area, serving top-notch coffees and teas, salads, and a huge variety of sandwiches – all for prices that won’t bust your wallet. In fact, most of their wide menu boasts “bodega prices” (under $5) while still featuring homemade frills like daily specials, in-house salad dressings, house-cured lox, vegetarian chili, and soups made from scratch.
