Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee connoisseur and you're looking for a place to shop, then you'll need to visit a coffee bean shop. These shops sell a range of whole beans from all over the globe. They also sell exclusive 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 vendor specializing in international brews and a selection of loose teas

The aroma of freshly roasting beans fills the air as you enter this West Village shop. Unopened bags of dark brown beans are displayed on the shelves alongside sugar jars, coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrant Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an large influx of Italian immigrants who set up businesses to serve their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - - a drink that was that was so popular at the time that even the Pope consumed 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. Porto Rico roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, was raised in the family bakery located on Bleecker Street, where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He still runs the business in the same way as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

It is located on Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey coffee beans wholesale suppliers is both an espresso bar and a coffee roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 started roasting in the fourth-floor loft located 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 commitment to buying micro-lots, and even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year they made a 6-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 steamed to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the well-being of growers, staff and customers extends beyond the store. It makes use of biodegradable plastics and composts to keep waste out of the landfill and converting it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gas emissions and feed the soil. It also does away with gratuity, a move that puts the baristas in a position to provide their livelihoods and encourage them to concentrate on their art.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee brand, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. They started with a small store and a team of dedicated employees. Their open and creative approach to delivering an extraordinary strong coffee beans experience earned their acclaim not just in their own town but also around the world.

La Carba has a rigorous procedure for locating their ideal beans, by scouring through hundreds of different lots each year to identify the ones that match their ideals. Then they roast them in a very light style, dialing the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This results in an enhanced taste and clarity.

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

The shop employs a La Marzocco Modbar and the cups, plates and bowls are designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father/son studio located in Horsens. In a recent interview, Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different types of coffee per day and usually has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given moment.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts on site and brews according to your preferences, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed to your specifications in less than a minute. It searches countries far and across the globe for the highest-quality specialty beans that are directly sourced that provide customers with a choice and quality.

Their on-site roaster is a fluid bed machine, that is distinct from the classic drum machines used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown about in a heated container by high-speed air, which keeps the beans in a suspended state and allows roasting to happen at a consistent rate throughout the machine.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was very rich with smooth mouthfeel, dark chocolate aromas were present. The coffee began to cool as you sipped and subtle aromas of citrus fruit were detected.

The coffee that has been roasted is whisked to The Coffee Bean Shop store's Eversys super-automatic brewing systems and it is brewed to your requirements within less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origins as well as various blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop with a single espresso machine. It has since evolved into a burgeoning coffee roastery, and its beans can be found in a variety of great cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers all over the city. Parlor is dedicated to sourcing top-quality beans from all over the world, each of which has endured a laborious journey before getting into the roasters.

In their own words in their own words, they "have an unrelenting passion for craft and a belief that good coffee beans near me should be available to everyone." They do just that with their down-to-earth streetscape that is a mix of residential and commercial. Think compost bins, chalkboards handmade up-cycled items, and low-frills deco.

They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there) Also, they offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it like a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit off the beaten track, but is worth a visit.
