Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover, then you will want to check out the coffee shop. These shops provide a variety of whole beans from all over the world. These stores also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware and other items.

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

Porto Rico Importing Co.

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

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

Originally 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 opened businesses to satisfy their food requirements. Albanese named her shop after the famous Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) the beverage was so famous at the time that even the Pope drank it.

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

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

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster, is located along 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 began roasting in a fourth-floor loft across the street from their new shop in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's preference for micro-lots or even whole harvests from a single farmer has earned it the praise of discerning New York City coffee aficionados. 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 picked at the peak of ripeness, and then floated to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend that is fragrant with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's goal of holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the walls of the shop. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of landfills and converting it to substances that reduce harmful greenhouse gases and enrich the soil. It also does away with gratuity, which places baristas in the position to support their livelihoods and motivate them to concentrate on their craft.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. It started with a small shop and a committed team. Their innovative and honest method of providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not just in their home town but all over the world.

La Carba has a rigorous method of identifying their ideal decaf beans coffee, going through hundreds of different varieties every year to locate the ones that match their ideals. Then they roast them in a light style and dial them in to achieve their desired flavor profile. This results in clearer and more vibrant taste.

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

The shop utilizes a La Marzocco Modbar and the cups plates and bowls are designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father and son studio located in Horsens. In a recent Q&A with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves approximately 250 different coffees a year, and typically has seven or eight coffees available at any given point.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer which roasts on-site and brews on demand, with every cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than a minute. It is a search engine for the finest specialty beans that are directly sourced offering customers a the option of choice and quality.

Their on-site roaster utilizes fluid bed technology that is a bit different to the drum-type machines that are commonly used in the majority of UK coffee shops. The beans are blown in the heated box using high-speed, circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and ensures a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was a rich cup with a 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 whisked to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing equipment and brewed to your specification in less than a minute. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a variety of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, using a single espresso machine. It has since morphed into a flourishing coffee roastery, whose beans are available in top rated coffee beans cafes as well as restaurants and home brewers all over the city. Parlor is committed to procuring high-quality coffee beans from across the globe Each one has had to endure a lengthy journey before reaching the hands of its roasters.

According to their own words the owners "have an unstoppable passion for craft and a belief that great coffee should be accessible to anyone." They accomplish this with their earthy space on a residential street--think compost bins, chalkboards handmade up-cycled items, and a simple deco.

They roast and create their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there), but they also have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Think of it as an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the ground coffeee beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a little away from the main roads, but worth the trip.
