Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops If you're a coffee connoisseur, then you will want to check out a coffee shop. These stores offer a wide selection of whole beans from all across the globe. These stores also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware, and other products. Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others sell coffee beans in bulk at their retail locations. Porto Rico Importing Co. Veteran coffee vendor who is a specialist in international brews, loose teas, and a variety. When you walk into this old-fashioned West Village shop, the scent of freshly roasting beans fills the air. The shelves are packed with jars and sacks of dark brown beans, along with tea-making equipment, coffee accessories, and sugar. Porto Rico was first opened in 1907 Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increasing number of Italian immigrants who established businesses to serve their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) the beverage was so famous at the time that even the Pope was a fan. Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including those from around the world in three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online. Porto Rico roasts their own beans and provides wholesale distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn. Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the business was raised above his family's bakery on Bleecker Street where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He continues to operate the shop in the same way as his father and grandfather. Sey Coffee Located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a roaster and coffee shop. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor, just around the corner in the year 2011. The name was Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler. Sey's focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers—has earned it the acclaim of the most 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 harvested at the peak of ripeness, and steamed to remove any defects. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a cup with hints of berry lemongrass, and melon. Sey's commitment extends beyond its shop to improve the overall health of employees and growers as well as customers. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts, preventing waste from garbage and converting it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gases and nourish soil. It also prevents gratuities. This lets baristas concentrate 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 dedicated team. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not only in their local area, but worldwide. La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They scour through hundreds of varieties each year in order to find those that best match their ideals. They roast them light, adjusting the desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more intense flavor and clarity. The East Village store opened last October with a sleek and minimalist design. It's been praised by coffee lovers for its meticulous 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 utilizes a La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are designed by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, the son and father studio. In a recent Q&A interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves about 250 different varieties of coffee each year, and typically has seven or eight different varieties available at any given time. The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee The Roasting Plant, a multi-unit coffee retailer, roasts and brews coffee on-site. Each cup is brewed and roasted according to your specifications in less than one second. It searches the world wide for the highest-grade specialty beans that are directly sourced that offer customers a variety and high-quality. Their onsite roaster uses fluid bed technology that is quite different from the drum-type machines commonly found in the majority of UK coffee shops. The beans are blown inside an enclosed box that is heated and has high-speed air that is circulated. This keeps the beans in suspension and ensures a consistent roasting rate. I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was a rich cup with velvety mouthfeel. Dark chocolate aromas were present, and the coffee began to cool down as you sipped, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were evident. The roasted coffee will then be whisked into the Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines to be brewed according your specifications in under a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origin selections and a variety of blends. premium coffee beans Coffeee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, using a single espresso machine. It has since morphed to become a burgeoning roastery, with beans that can be found in a variety of great cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers in every city. Parlor Coffee is committed to finding the finest quality beans, which have been through a lengthy journey before reaching its roasters. The owners, who are self-described as “passionate about craft and believe that great coffee should be accessible to all,” have created a space that is grounded with chalkboards, compost bins and up-cycled products, and low-frills decor. They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins. But they also have cuppings on Sundays that are accessible to the public. Imagine it as a tasting area where you can taste and smell the beans as they are roasted. They are a mix of earthy and chocolate (one was similar to tomato!). It's a little away from the main roads, but worth the journey.
