Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops If you're a coffee enthusiast, you should visit a coffee shop. These shops offer a variety of whole beans from around the world. They also sell unique trinkets and kitchenware. Coffeee of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Some shops sell coffee beans in bulk. Porto Rico Importing Co. Veteran coffee seller who concentrates on international brews, loose teas and a selection. The scent of freshly roasted beans fills the air as you enter this West Village shop. The sacks of dark brown beans line the shelves alongside jars of sugar coffee-making equipment, tea and other accessories. Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an large influx of Italian immigrants who set up businesses to cater to their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold – a drink that was so well-known in the moment that the Pope would drink it. Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including those from around the globe, at three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. The company roasts its own beans and offers 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 was the owner of Porto Rico. The business is still run by the business in the same way to his father and grandfather. Sey Coffee Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop, is located along Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district, is located on Grattan Street. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders started roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor just around the corner, in the year 2011. They called it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin, and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler. Sey's emphasis on buying micro-lots—or even whole harvests from single farmers earned it the praise of discerning New York City coffee aficionados. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santa region. The beans were harvested at their peak of ripeness and then steamed to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry melon and lemongrass. Sey's commitment to holistically improving the well-being of growers, staff and customers extends beyond the retail store. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of the landfill and converting it into substances that reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that places baristas in the position to provide their livelihoods and motivate them to focus on their craft. La Cabra La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee brand that was established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. They began with a small shop and a team of dedicated employees. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing a unique coffee experience has earned them a following not only in their home town, but globally. La Carba has a rigorous process for finding their perfect beans, searching through hundreds of different varieties every year to find ones that meet their standards. They roast them in a very light style then dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees more clarity and a better taste. The East Village store, which opened in the month of October last year it has been praised for its excellent pour overs as well as its baked goods, overseen and managed by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel, and other coffee establishments. The shop employs a La Marzocco Modbar as well as the cups, plates and bowls are designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father/son studio in Horsens. In a recent Q&A with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves approximately 250 different coffees per year, and usually has seven or eight varieties available at any given point. The 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 roasting and brewed according to your preferences in less than an hour. It searches the world for the finest specialty beans that are sourced directly to give customers the option of choices and high-quality. The roaster on site uses fluid bed technology that is a bit different to the classic drum-type machines used in most UK coffee houses. The beans are blown around the heated box by high-speed air, which keeps the beans suspended and allows roasting to happen in a steady manner when they pass through the machine. I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was a rich cup with smooth mouthfeel, dark chocolate scent was present. The coffee began to cool as you sip, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were detected. The coffee that has been roasted is transported to the Eversys super-automatic brewing machines and it is brewed to your requirements in less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origin options and a variety of blends. Parlor Coffee It was founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop equipped with one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans can be found in top cafes, restaurants and home brewers throughout the city. Parlor Coffee is dedicated to sourcing only the finest quality beans, which have been through a lengthy journey before they reach its roasters. The owners, who are self-described as “passionate about craft and believe that good coffee should be accessible to all,” have created a environment that is simple with chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade products, and low-frills decor. They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins, however they also host cuppings on Sundays, which are accessible to the public. Imagine it as a tasting room where you can taste and smell the beans that are ground. They are a mix of earthy and chocolate (one was similar to tomato!). They're off the beaten track and well worth a trip.
