20 Rising Stars To Watch In The Coffee Bean Shop Industry

Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover and you're looking for coffee bean shop a place to shop, then you'll need to check out a coffee bean shop. They offer a wide variety of beans that are whole from all over the world. They also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware, and other things.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions for their coffee beans. Some shops offer these in bulk.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee vendor who is a specialist in international brews, loose teas and a variety.

When you enter this old-fashioned West Village shop, the scent of freshly roasting beans fills the air. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves, along with jars of sugar, coffee-making equipment as well as tea accessories.

Porto Rico was first opened in 1907 Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing an influx of Italian immigrants, who set up businesses to meet their food needs. Albanese named her shop after the renowned Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - - a drink that was so popular that even the Pope took a sip.

Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, including those from around the world at three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. The company roasts its own beans and provides 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 business in the same manner as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

It is located on Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a roaster and coffee shop. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their co-founders of 33 years, began roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor just across the street in the year 2011. They dubbed it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin, and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's preference for buying micro-lots or whole harvests from single farmers has earned him the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year, they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were picked at their peak of ripeness and then floated to eliminate 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 goal of holistically improving the well-being of staff, growers and customers extends beyond the store. It makes use of biodegradable plastics and composts, preventing waste from garbage and converting it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gases and enrich the soil. It also reduces gratuity. This allows baristas to concentrate on their craft and earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee business that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. They began with a small shop and a team of dedicated employees. Their innovative and honest approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not just in their local area but also around the world.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to identify their ideal beans. They go through hundreds of lots each year to find those that best fit their ideals. They roast them lightly, adjusting their desired flavor profile. This results in an enhanced taste and clarity.

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

The shop is equipped with a La Marzocco Modbar as well as the cups, plates and bowls are made by Wurtz ceramics, a father-and son studio located in Horsens. In a recent Q&A session with Atlanta Coffee coffeee shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different coffees per year, and typically has seven or eight different varieties available 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 to order with each cup of coffee roasted and brewed to your specifications in less than one minute. It searches countries far and wide for the highest-grade specialty beans that are directly sourced providing customers with choice and high-quality.

Their onsite roaster is a fluid bed device, that is distinct from the classic drum machines used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through an enclosed box that is heated and has high-speed and circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a constant roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was delicious with a an enveloping mouthfeel, dark chocolate aromas were present and the coffee started to cool while you sipped and subtle aromas of citrus fruit were evident.

The roasted coffee will be whisked into the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines and brewed according your specifications in less than a minute. Customers can select from a variety of single origins and a variety of blends.

Parlor Coffee

In 2012, the company was established in the back of a barbershop that had one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans can be found in top restaurants, cafes and home brewers across the city. Parlor is dedicated to sourcing the highest-quality beans all over the world, each of which has endured a laborious journey before it reaches the hands of its roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that great coffee should be accessible to all," have created a space that is grounded and filled with chalkboards. There are compost bins, coffee bean shop up-cycled hand-made products, and minimal decor.

They roast and create their own blends as well as single-origins (there were six at the time I was there) Also, they do cuppings Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it as a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit off the beaten path however, they're is worth a visit.
