15 Secretly Funny People In Coffee Bean Shop
Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you should visit a coffee shop. These shops sell a range of whole beans from around the world. These stores also offer unique trinkets, kitchenware and other products.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Some shops offer them in bulk.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee retailer specializing international brews, as well as a variety of loose teas

When you step into this old-school West Village shop, the smell of fresh roasting beans fills your nostrils. The shelves are stacked with jars and sacks filled with dark brown beans, along with tea-making equipment, coffee accessories and sugar.

Porto Rico was first opened in 1907 Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. At coffee bean suppliers near me , Greenwich Village was seeing an increasing number of Italian immigrants who opened businesses to cater to their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - - a drink that was so famous at the time that even the Pope consumed it.

Today, Porto Rico sells 130 varieties of beans from around the globe at three locations in New York City including their Bleecker Street location, Essex Market and online. Porto Rico also roasts their own beans and provides wholesale distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, grew up in the family bakery located on Bleecker Street, where his father ran Porto Rico. He still runs the shop in a similar way as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster is located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This neighborhood in Brooklyn's Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 started roasting in the fourth-floor loft across the street from their new location in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's focus on buying micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the praise of New York City coffee enthusiasts. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santa region. The beans were picked when they were ripe and then steamed to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a cup that has hints of berry and melon.

Sey's goal of holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It utilizes composts and biodegradable plastics to keep waste out of landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, a move that puts the baristas in a position to help sustain their livelihoods and motivate them to focus on their craft.


La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a team of dedicated employees. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not just in their hometown but all over the world.

La Carba has a rigorous process for finding their perfect beans, scouring through hundreds of different lots each year to identify the ones that are perfect for their tastes. They roast them lightly, adjusting their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more vibrant flavor and clarity.

The East Village store, which opened in the month of October last year it has been praised for its excellent pour overs and baked goods, which are overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and other coffee houses.

The shop utilizes the La Marzocco Modbar, and the cups, plates and bowls are made by Wurtz ceramics, a father/son studio in Horsens. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different coffees per year, and usually has seven or eight different varieties available at any given time.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee which roasts on-site and brews to order, with every cup of coffee roasting and brewed to your specifications in less than minutes. It scour the globe for the highest-quality specialty beans that are sourced directly providing customers with the choice and quality.

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology which is quite different from the classic drum-type machines used in many UK coffee houses. The beans are blown in a heated container with high-speed, circulating air. This keeps the beans suspended and allows for a consistent roasting rate.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was rich with velvety mouthfeel. Dark chocolate scent was present. The coffee began to cool while you sipped the coffee. The subtle scents of citrus fruit were evident.

The coffee is transported to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing systems and you can have your coffee brewed to your specifications in less than a minute. Customers can pick from nine single origin options and a range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop using a single espresso machine. It has since morphed into a burgeoning coffee roastery, whose beans can be found in a variety of great cafes, restaurants, and home brewers throughout the city. Parlor is committed to sourcing top-quality beans from around the globe, each of which is a long, arduous journey before it reaches the hands of its roasters.

According to their own words, they "have an unstoppable passion for craft and a conviction that good coffee should be accessible to everyone." They achieve that by creating a simple area on a residential street. Think compost bins, chalkboard welcome, handmade up-cycled products and a minimalist deco.

They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six at the time I was there) They also offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it like the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and taste the ground beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're off the beaten path however, they're worthwhile to visit.
