Coffee Bean Shop: What's New? No One Is Discussing
Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're an avid coffee drinker, you should consider visiting a coffee shop. These stores provide a large range of whole beans from all over the world. They also sell exclusive trinkets, kitchenware and other products.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others offer large quantities of coffee beans at their retail locations.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee shop that specializes in international brews as well as a range of loose teas

The scent of freshly roasting beans fills the air when you walk into this West Village shop. The sacks of dark brown beans line the shelves, along with sugar jars, coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

Porto Rico was first opened in 1907 Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx of Italian immigrants, who had opened businesses in order to meet their dietary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a beverage that was so famous in the moment that the Pope would drink it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including those from around the globe located in three locations including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online. The company also roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the business was raised on the top floor of the bakery of his family on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. He runs the business in the same manner as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

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

Sey's reliance on micro-lots -- or even whole harvests from a single farmer has earned it the praise of highly discerning New York City coffee aficionados. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were picked at their peak of ripeness and steamed to remove any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend with hints of berry lemongrass and melon.

Sey's focus on holistically improving the well-being of employees, customers and growers extends beyond the store. It makes use of composts and biodegradable disposables to ensure that waste is kept out of the landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that puts baristas in a position to provide their livelihoods and inspire them to focus on their craft.


La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny shop and a team of dedicated employees. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing a unique coffee experience earned them a following not only in their own town but also around the world.

La Carba has a rigorous procedure for locating their ideal beans, by scouring through hundreds of different varieties every year to find ones that are perfect for their tastes. They roast them lightly, dialing in their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more intense flavor and clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek and minimalist design. It's been praised by coffee aficionados for its exacting pour overs and baked goods, which are overseen by head baker Jared Sexton, who's previously worked at Bien Cuit and Dominique Ansel.

The shop employs the La Marzocco Modbar as well as the cups, plates and bowls are crafted by Wurtz ceramics, a father/son studio in Horsens. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees per day, and has usually seven or eight coffees available at any given moment.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts on-site and brews to order, with each cup of coffee roasting and brewed according to your requirements in less than minutes. It searches the world far for the finest quality specialty beans, which are directly sourced that provide customers with a choice and quality.

The roaster they have on site is a fluid bed machine, which is different from the traditional drum machines commonly found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown around in the heated box by high-speed air that keeps the green beans in suspension and allows them to be roasted in a steady manner as they move through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was velvety and rich with a smooth taste. Dark chocolate was evident in the aroma and as you sipped the coffee, you could detect subtle citrus fruit aromas.

unroasted coffee beans wholesale that has been roasted is transported to the Eversys brewing machines that are super-automatic and can be you can have your coffee brewed to your specifications in under a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins as well as several blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop equipped with a single group espresso machine. It has since developed into a flourishing coffee roastery, whose coffee beans are available in top cafes and restaurants as well as home brewers in every city. Parlor is committed to sourcing the highest-quality beans all over the world each of which has endured a laborious journey before arriving in the roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that great coffee should be accessible to all," have created a place that is a bit more grounded and has chalkboards, compost bins and up-cycled products, and a minimalist interior.

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, however they also hold cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the general public. Imagine it as the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're off the beaten track and worthwhile to visit.
