Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you are an avid coffee drinker, then you should consider visiting a coffee shop. These shops sell a range of whole beans from around the globe. They also have unique trinkets and kitchenware.

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

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller that specializes in international brews, loose teas, and a wide selection.

The aroma of freshly roasting beans fills the air once you enter this West Village shop. The shelves are filled with jars and sacks of dark roast coffee beans brown beans, coffeebeans along with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories and sugar.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increase in Italian immigrants who set up businesses to serve their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the renowned Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) the beverage was that was so well-known at the time that even the Pope took a sip.

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 their own beans and offers wholesale distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

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

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop 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 a fourth-floor loft across the street 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 focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the praise of discerning New York City coffee aficionados. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai, a Brazilian coffee from the Espirito-Santo region. The beans were harvested at their peak of ripeness and then steamed to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall well-being of staff and growers, as well as customers. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of landfills and turning it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gases and nourish soil. It also prevents gratuities. This allows baristas to focus on their craft and to earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty-coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny store and a committed staff. Their honest and innovative method of providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not just in their local area but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to identify their ideal beans. They scour through hundreds of beans each year to select the beans that best fit their ideals. Then, they roast them in a light style and dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more vibrant flavor and clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek, minimalist style, and has been praised by international 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 a La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are designed by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, a father and son studio. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees a yea and usually has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts on-site and brews on demand, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than one minute. It scour countries far and far to find the finest, directly sourced specialty beans that offer customers a variety and high-quality.

Their on-site roaster is an automatic fluid bed machine which is different from traditional drum machines commonly found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown into a heated container with high-speed and circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a constant roasting rate.

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

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

Parlor Coffee

The company was founded in 2012 at the back of a barbershop with one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans are available at top cafes, restaurants and home brewers all over the city. Parlor is committed to procuring high-quality coffee beans from all over the world each of which has had to endure a lengthy journey before getting into the hands of its roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that a good cup of coffee should accessible to everyone," have created a space that is grounded with chalkboards, compost bins, up-cycled handmade items, and simple decor.

They roast and create their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there), but they also hold cuppings on Sundays, and are open to the public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a bit away from the main roads, but worth the trip.
