Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you are an avid coffee drinker, then you must visit a coffee shop. These shops sell a range of whole beans from around the globe. They also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware and other things.

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 who specialises in international brews loose teas and a variety.

The aroma of freshly roasting beans fills the air when you walk into this West Village shop. Open bags of dark-brown beans are stacked on the shelves along with jars of sugar, coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an influx of Italian immigrants who had opened establishments to cater to their dietary requirements. Albanese named the shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee beans for sale she imported and sold - a drink that was so renowned that at the time, even the Pope would drink it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, including beans from all over the world located in three locations including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. Porto Rico 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 located on Bleecker Street, where his father ran Porto Rico. He still runs the shop in a similar way to his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

The shop is located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a cafe and a roaster. 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 reliance on micro-lots -- or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the acclaim of discerning New York City coffee aficionados. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were harvested at the peak of ripeness, and then floated to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's commitment extends beyond its shop to improve the overall health of staff and growers, and customers. It utilizes biodegradable disposables as well as composts, keeping waste out of garbage and converting it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gases and enrich the soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that puts baristas into a position to sustain their livelihoods as well as encourage them to focus on their art.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee beans types company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a dedicated team. Their open and creative approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience earned them a following, not just in their home town, but globally.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They search through hundreds of beans each year to find those that best match their ideals. They roast them lightly, dialing in their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees greater clarity and a 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 uses a La Marzocco modbar and the cups and plates are designed specifically for Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, a father and son studio. In a recent Q&A with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves about 250 different coffees per year, and typically has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given point.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant gourmet coffee beans

The Roasting Plant is a multi-unit coffee retailer roasts and brews the coffee on site. Each cup is brewed and roasted according to your specifications in less than seconds. It searches countries far and wide for the highest-grade, directly sourced specialty beans that provide customers with a choice and quality.

Their roaster on site is an automatic fluid bed machine that is distinct from the traditional drum machines that are used in UK coffee beans shop shops. The beans are blown around the heated box by high-speed air, which keeps the beans in a suspended state and allows them to be roasted at a consistent rate as they travel through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was velvety and rich with a rich and velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident in the aroma and as you sipped the coffee, there were subtle citrus fruit flavours.

The roasted coffee will then be whisked into the store's Eversys Super-Automatic brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in less than a minute. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a wide range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop equipped with one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor coffee bean shop near me has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans are sold at top restaurants, cafes and home brewers across the city. Parlor is dedicated to sourcing high-quality beans from around the globe each of which is a long, arduous journey before getting into the hands of its roasters.

According to their own words the owners "have a relentless passion for craft and believe that good coffee should be available to anyone." They do just this with their earthy space on a residential street--think compost bins, chalkboards handmade up-cycled products, and a minimally-decorated space.

They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins, however they also hold cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Imagine it as a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're away from the main roads however, they're well worth a trip.
