Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover, then you will want to check out a coffee shop. These shops offer a broad range of whole beans from all across the globe. These stores also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware, and other products.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others sell coffee beans in bulk at their retail stores.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee shop that concentrates on international brews, loose teas, and a variety.

When you walk into this old-fashioned West Village shop, the scent of freshly coffee beans fills your nostrils. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves, along with jars of sugar as well as coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx of Italian immigrants, who set up businesses to satisfy their food needs. Albanese named the shop after the popular Puerto Rican most expensive coffee beans she imported and sold - a beverage that was so renowned in the present, that even the Pope would drink it.

Today, Porto Rico sells 130 varieties of beans from all over the world at three locations in New York City including their Bleecker Street location, Essex Market and online. The company also roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, was raised in the family bakery on Bleecker Street, where his father ran Porto Rico. He continues to run the business in the same manner as his grandfather and father.

Sey Coffee

Located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a coffee shop and roaster. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee in an apartment on the fourth floor, just around the corner in the year 2011. They named it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin, and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's preference for micro-lots or even whole harvests from single farmers--has been praised by highly discerning New York City coffee aficionados. Last year, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were picked at the peak of ripeness, and then steamed to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a cup with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's commitment to holistically improving the wellbeing of growers, staff and customers extends beyond the walls of the shop. It utilizes composts and biodegradable plastics to keep waste out of the landfills. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also prevents gratuities. This lets baristas concentrate on their work and support their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee beans coffee business that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. It started with a small shop and a committed team. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a loyal fan base not just in their home town but also around the world.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of varieties each year to find those that best meet their ideals. They roast them lightly, adjusting their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees clearer and more vibrant taste.

The East Village store, which opened in October last year, has been praised for its top-quality pour-overs, as well as the baked goods, overseen and managed by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and various coffee houses.

The shop utilizes a La Marzocco Modbar and the cups, plates and bowls are designed 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 a yea, and has usually seven or eight varieties available at any one time.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts on-site and brews to order with each cup of coffee roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than one minute. It scour countries far and across the globe for the highest rated coffee beans-quality, directly sourced specialty beans providing customers with choice and quality.

Their roaster on site is a fluid bed machine that is distinct from the classic drum machines used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown about in a heated box by high-velocity air which keeps the green beans in suspension and allows them to be roasted at a consistent rate throughout the machine.

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

The coffee is whisked to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing machines and the coffee is brewed according to your preferences in just a few minutes. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a variety of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor coffee bean suppliers was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, with a single espresso machine. It has since morphed to become a burgeoning roastery, whose coffee beans are available in top cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers across the city. Parlor is dedicated to procuring high-quality coffee beans from around the globe each of which is a long, arduous journey before it reaches the hands of its roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about coffee and believe that great coffee should be available to everyone," have created a space that is grounded with chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade products, and a minimalist interior.

Think of it like a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a bit away from the main roads, but it's worth the drive.
