Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a lover of coffee then you'll want to try out the shops selling coffee beans. They offer a wide selection of whole beans from around the world. They also sell unique trinkets and kitchenware.

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

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller specializing in international brews and a variety of loose teas

The aroma of freshly roasting beans fills the air when you enter this West Village shop. Open sacks of dark-brown beans are displayed on the shelves alongside jars of sugar as well as coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

Originally opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx of Italian immigrants, who set up businesses in order to meet their dietary needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage so popular that even the Pope consumed it.

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

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the company, grew up above his family's bakery on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. He continues to operate the shop in the same fashion as his father did and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster is located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. The neighborhood, which is part of 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 around the corner 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 decision to buy micro-lots, or even entire harvests, from single farmers has earned it the praise of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In the past they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated to remove defects, then dry fermented for 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee that is fragrant with hints types of coffee beans fruit and melon.

Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall health of growers and staff, as well as customers. It uses composts and biodegradable products to keep waste from the garbage dumps. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that places baristas in the position to sustain their livelihoods and encourage them to focus on their craft.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee brand that was established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company started with a modest store and a team of dedicated employees. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a devoted fan base not just in their own town but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They go through hundreds of beans each year in order to select the beans that best match their ideals. Then, they roast them in a very light manner before dialing the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more vibrant taste and clarity.

The East Village store, which opened in October last year was praised for its premium pour-overs, as well as the baked goods, which are overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel, and other coffee establishments.

The shop is equipped with the La Marzocco Modbar and the cups plates, and bowls are custom-designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father and son studio in Horsens. In a recent Q&A interview with Atlanta speciality coffee beans Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different varieties of coffee each year, and Cheap coffee beans typically has seven or eight varieties available at any given time.

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 every cup of coffee roasting and brewed according to your preferences in less than a minute. It is a search engine for the highest-grade specialty beans that are sourced directly providing customers with choices and high-quality.

The roaster they have 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 the heated box by high-speed air, which keeps the green beans in suspension and allows roasting to happen in a steady manner when they pass through 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 sipped the coffee, you could detect subtle citrus fruit flavours.

The coffee is then be taken to the Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins and several blends.

Parlor 500G coffee beans

It was founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop equipped with a single-group espresso machine, Parlor Coffee has become a growing roastery, whose beans are found at great restaurants, cafes and home brewers all over the city. Parlor is committed to procuring high-quality coffee beans from around the globe each of which is a long, arduous journey before arriving in the roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about coffee and believe that a good cup of coffee should accessible to everyone," have created a place that is a bit more grounded, with chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade products, and minimal decor.

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, however they also hold cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting room, where you can smell and taste the beans in the ground. They vary from earthy to chocolaty (one was similar to tomato!). They're off the beaten path however, they're well worth a trip.
