Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean coffeee shops

If you're a coffee lover and you're looking for a place to shop, then you'll need to visit a coffee bean shop. These shops offer a broad assortment of whole beans from all over the world. They also offer unique trinkets and kitchenware.

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 wide selection.

As you enter this traditional West Village shop, the aroma of freshly roasting beans fills your nostrils. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves alongside sugar jars as well as 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 increase in Italian immigrants who established businesses to cater to their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the popular Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a drink that was so well-known in the present, that even the Pope would drink it.

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 offers wholesale distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the company was raised over his family's bakery located on Bleecker Street where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He continues to run the shop in a similar way to his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop is located along Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This neighborhood in Brooklyn's Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 began roasting in a fourth-floor loft around the corner from their new store in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and coffee bean shop Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's preference for buying micro-lots, or even entire harvests from single farmers has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were picked at their peak of ripeness and steamed to remove any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, lemongrass and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the quality of life for staff, growers and customers extends beyond the retail store. It utilizes composts and biodegradable disposables to ensure that waste is kept out of the garbage dumps. This helps reduce greenhouse gases and helps nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, which puts the baristas in a position to help sustain their livelihoods and inspire them to focus on their art.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee brand, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It started with a small shop and a team of dedicated employees. Their honest and creative approach to providing a unique best coffee experience earned them a following, not just in their own town but also around the world.

La Carba has a rigorous process for finding their perfect beans, going through hundreds of different lots every year to find ones that are perfect for their tastes. They roast them in a light style before dialing them in to achieve 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. It has been praised by global coffee enthusiasts for its scrumptious 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 the La Marzocco modbar, and the cups and plates are designed by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, a father and son studio. In a recent interview, Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees per day and typically has seven or eight different varieties available at any one time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant, a multi-unit retailer of coffee roasts and brews coffee on-site. Each cup is roasted and brewed according to your specifications in less than seconds. It searches far and far for the finest quality specialty beans, which are directly sourced providing customers with choice and high-quality.

Their onsite roaster is a fluid bed machine, which is different from the traditional drum machines found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown about in an enclosed box heated by high-speed air, which keeps the beans in a suspended state and allows them to be roasted at a consistent rate when they pass through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was rich with a velvety mouthfeel, dark chocolate aromas were present. The coffee began to cool as you sip delicate citrus flavours fruit were evident.

The roasted coffee will then be transferred to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences within less than a minute. Customers can pick from nine single origins as well as various blends.

Parlor Coffee

It was founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop with an espresso machine with a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a growing roastery, whose beans are sold at top cafes, restaurants and home brewers across the city. Parlor is dedicated to procuring high-quality coffee beans from across the globe each of which is a long, arduous journey before it reaches the roasters.

According to their own words according to their own words, they "have an unrelenting passion for craft and a belief that great coffee should be accessible to everyone." They achieve this with their earthy street space, which includes compost bins, a chalkboard welcome hand-made up-cycled goods, and low-frills deco.

They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins, however they also hold cuppings on Sundays that are open to the general public. Think of it like an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're off the beaten path but are well worth a trip.
