Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a fan of coffee and you're looking for a place to shop, then you'll need to check out a coffee bean shop. They offer a wide selection of whole beans from all across the globe. They also have 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 range of loose teas

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

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrant Patsy Albonese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing a surge of Italian immigrants, who opened businesses to satisfy their food needs. Albanese named her shop after the renowned Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage that was so popular at the time that even the Pope consumed it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including beans from all over the world in three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. Porto Rico roasts their own beans and offers wholesale coffee beans distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current president and owner of the company, grew up above his family's bakery located on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. He still runs the business in the same way as his grandfather and father.

Sey Coffee

It is located on Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a coffee shop and roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 started roasting in a fourth-floor loft just around the corner at 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 been praised by discerning New York City coffee aficionados. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were picked at peak ripeness, floated to get rid of any imperfections and dried fermented for a period of 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a cup with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's focus on holistically improving the health of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of the landfill and converting it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and feed the soil. It also eliminates gratuity. This lets baristas concentrate on their work and help sustain their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee beans online brand that was established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. They started with a small store and a committed staff. Their honesty and ingenuity to delivering an extraordinary coffee experience earned them a following, not just in their home town but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of varieties each year in order to find the ones that best match their ideals. Then they roast them in a light manner, dialing them in to achieve their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more intense flavor and clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek minimalist design. It has been praised worldwide by coffee aficionados for its exacting 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 uses the La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are designed specifically for Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, an artist-run by a father and son. In a recent interview, Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees per day and usually has seven or eight different varieties available at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts its own coffee and brews on demand, with every cup of buy coffee beans roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than minutes. It searches far and far to find the finest specialty beans, which are directly sourced, offering customers choice and high-quality.

The beans are blown about in a heated box by high-velocity air that keeps the green coffee beans beans in suspension and allows roasting to happen at a consistent rate throughout the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was velvety and rich with a rich and velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma. And as you sip the coffee you could detect subtle citrus fruit flavors.

The coffee that has been roasted is whisked to the Eversys super-automatic brewing systems and you can have your coffee brewed to your specifications within less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origin selections and a wide range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop using a single espresso machine. It has since developed to become a burgeoning roastery, and its beans can be found in a variety of great cafes, restaurants, and home brewers in every city. Parlor Coffee is committed to finding the highest quality beans that have all undergone a long journey before they reach its roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about the craft and believe that good coffee should accessible to everyone," have created a space that is down-to earth with chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade products, and minimal decor.

They roast and create their own blends as well as single-origins (there were six when I was there), but they also offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it like the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and coffee bean shop taste the beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit off the beaten track however, they're it's worth the trip.
