Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops
If you're an avid coffee drinker, you should visit a coffee 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. Others offer coffee beans in bulk at their retail stores.
Porto Rico Importing Co.
Veteran coffee shop that specializes in international brews and a selection of loose teas
The scent of freshly roasted beans fills the air as you walk into this West Village shop. The shelves are filled with jars and bags of dark brown beans, along with tea-making equipment, coffee accessories, and sugar.
The first restaurant opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing an influx of Italian immigrants, who had opened businesses to cater to their food requirements. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a beverage that was so popular in the moment that the Pope would drink it.
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 also roasts its own beans and offers wholesale coffee beans uk 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 ran Porto Rico. He still runs the shop in the same way to his father and grandfather.
Sey Coffee
It is located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a cafe coffee beans and a roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft just around the corner from their new store in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).
Sey's reliance on micro-lots -- or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the respect of knowledgeable 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 picked at the peak of ripeness, and floated to remove any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, melon and lemongrass.
Sey's commitment extends beyond its shop to improve the overall well-being of growers and staff, as well as its customers. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts, preventing waste from landfills and converting it to substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and feed the soil. It also does away with gratuity, which puts the baristas in a position to provide their livelihoods and encourage them to focus on their craft.
La Cabra
La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee brand that was established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny shop and a committed team. Their innovative and honest approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not just in their local area but all over the world.
La Carba has a rigorous process to find their perfect beans, searching through hundreds types of coffee beans different lots each year to identify the ones that match their ideals. They roast them in a light style, dialing them in to achieve their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees clearer and more vibrant taste.
The East Village store opened last October with a sleek and minimalist design. It has been praised by global coffee lovers for its meticulous pour overs and baked goods that are overseen by head baker Jared Sexton, who's previously worked at Bien Cuit and Dominique Ansel.
The shop is equipped with the La Marzocco Modbar and the cups plates, and bowls are custom-designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father-and son studio in Horsens. In a recent Q&A interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different varieties of coffee each year, and usually has seven or eight coffees available at any given point.
The Roasting Plant Coffee
The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts its own coffee and brews to order with each cup of coffee roasted and brewed to your specifications in less than minutes. It searches the world for the highest-grade specialty beans that are sourced directly offering customers a the option of choice and quality.
Their on-site roaster utilizes fluid bed technology, which is quite different from the drum-type machines commonly found in the majority of UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through the heated box using high-speed, circulating air. This keeps the beans suspended and allows for a consistent roasting speed.
I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was rich and velvety with a velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma and as you sipped the coffee you could detect subtle citrus fruit aromas.
The roasted coffee will then be taken to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic brewing Machines to be brewed according your specifications in under a minute. Customers can pick from nine single origin options and a range of blends.
Parlor Coffee
Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop with a single espresso machine. It has since developed into a flourishing coffee roastery, with beans that are sold in top cafes and restaurants as well as home brewers all over the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to finding the highest-quality beans, which have been through a lengthy journey before reaching its roasters.
The owners, who self-described as "passionate about coffee and believe that a good cup of coffee should be accessible to all," have created a environment that is simple with chalkboards, compost bins, up-cycled hand-made products, and a minimalist interior.
They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, but they also have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Think of it as the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit off the beaten path however, they're is worth a visit.
