Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're an avid coffee drinker, you should visit a coffee shop. These shops offer a broad selection of whole beans from all over the world. They also sell unique kitchenware and trinkets.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Some shops sell these in large quantities.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller specializing in international brews, as well as a variety of loose teas

When you enter this old-school West Village shop, The Coffee Bean Shop scent of freshly roasting beans fills your nostrils. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves alongside sugar jars as well as coffee beans online-making equipment and tea accessories.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an influx of Italian immigrants who established businesses to cater to their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican cheap coffee beans she imported and sold - a drink that was so famous in the moment that the Pope would drink it.

Today, Porto Rico sells 130 varieties of beans from all over the globe at three locations in New York City including their Bleecker Street location, Essex Market and online. Porto Rico roasts their own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, grew up in the family bakery on Bleecker Street, where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He continues to operate the shop in the same manner as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

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

Sey's emphasis on buying micro-lots--or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the praise of highly discerning New York City coffee aficionados. In the past they made a 6-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were handpicked at peak ripeness, removed by flotation to eliminate defects and dried fermented for a period of 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a blend that has hints of melons and berries.

Sey's goal of holistically improving the health of employees, customers and growers extends beyond the shop. It utilizes biodegradable disposables as well as composts to keep waste out of landfills and converting it to agents that reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also reduces gratuity. This allows baristas to concentrate on their craft and help sustain their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a team of dedicated employees. Their innovative and honest approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a devoted fan base not just in their own town and across the globe.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of beans each year in order to select the beans that best fit their ideals. They roast them in a light style then dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more intense flavor and clarity.

The East Village store, which was opened in October of last year, has been praised for its excellent pour overs and baked goods, overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel, and other coffee houses.

The shop employs a La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are designed specifically for Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent interview Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees every day and typically has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts on-site and brews to order, with every cup of coffee roasting and brewed according to your preferences in less than a minute. It searches the globe for the highest-quality specialty beans that are directly sourced, giving customers choice and quality.

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology which is a bit different to the classic drum-type machines used in many UK coffee houses. The beans are blown about in an enclosed box heated by high-speed air, which keeps the green beans in suspension and allows roasting to happen in a steady manner as they move through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was smooth and rich with a smooth taste. Dark chocolate was evident in the aroma and as you sip the coffee, you could detect subtle citrus fruit flavours.

The coffee is transported to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing machines and the coffee is brewed according to your preferences in under a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins and several blends.

Parlor Coffee

In 2012, the company was established in the back of a barbershop equipped with one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a growing roastery, whose beans are sold at top cafes, restaurants and home brewers all over the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to procuring the highest-quality beans, which have been through a lengthy journey before they reach its roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that great coffee should be accessible to everyone," have created a space that is down-to earth and has chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade items, and simple decor.

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, but they also hold cuppings on Sundays, which are accessible to the public. Think of it as a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a bit off the beaten track, but well worth the trip.
