Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover, then you will want to visit a coffee bean shop. These shops offer a variety of whole beans from all over the world. They also have unique trinkets and kitchenware.

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

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee vendor specializing in international brews as well as a range of loose teas

When you step into this traditional West Village shop, the smell of fresh roasted beans fills your nose. The shelves are filled with jars, sacks and dark brown beans, with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories, and sugar.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing an influx of Italian immigrants, who opened businesses in order to meet their food needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage so famous at the time that even the Pope drank it.

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

Peter Longo, the current president and owner of the business was raised over the bakery of his family located on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. The owner continues to run the shop in the same manner as his grandfather and father.

Sey Coffee

The shop is 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 across the street in the year 2011. They called it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's focus on buying micro-lots, or even entire harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were handpicked at the peak of ripeness, then floated to get rid of any imperfections, then dry fermented for about 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a blend with hints of berry, lemongrass and melon.

Sey's commitment to holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the store. It makes use of biodegradable plastics and composts to keep waste out of landfills and turning it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also eliminates gratuity. This allows baristas to focus on their craft and to earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee business that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. They started with a small store and a team of dedicated employees. Their innovative and honest approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a loyal fan base not just in their hometown, but worldwide.

La Carba has a rigorous process for finding their perfect beans, going through hundreds of different lots each year to identify the ones that fit their ideals. They roast them lightly, dialing in their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more intense flavor and clarity.

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

The shop is equipped with a La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are designed specifically for Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, an artist-run by a father and son. In a recent interview Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees per day and usually has seven or eight coffees available at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

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

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology, which is a bit different to the drum-type machines that are commonly used in most UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through the heated box using high-speed and circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a constant roasting rate.

I tried the Sumatran organic coffee beans and it was delicious with a a velvety mouthfeel, dark chocolate from the fragrance was present, and the coffee bean suppliers near me began to cool while you sipped delicate citrus flavours fruit were evident.

The roasted coffee will then be transferred to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic brewing Machines and brewed according to your preferences within less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origins as well as a variety blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, with a single espresso machine. It has since evolved to become a burgeoning roastery, and its beans are available in top cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers in every city. Parlor Coffee is dedicated to sourcing only the highest-quality beans, that have been through a lengthy journey before they reach its roasters.

In their own words, they "have an unrelenting passion for craft and a belief that great coffee should be accessible to everyone." They do just this with their earthy street space, which includes compost bins, chalkboard welcome handmade up-cycled items, and a simple deco.

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins. But they also have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Think of it like a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're a bit away from the main roads and worthwhile to visit.
