Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops
If you're a fan of coffee, then you will want to try out the shops selling cheap coffee beans beans. These stores provide a large assortment of whole beans from all over the world. They also sell exclusive trinkets, kitchenware and other products.
Some of these shops offer subscriptions for their coffee beans. Some shops sell speciality coffee beans beans in bulk.
Porto Rico Importing Co.
Veteran coffee shop that specializes in international brews, loose teas and a selection.
The aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air when you enter this West Village shop. Unopened bags of dark brown beans are displayed on the shelves alongside sugar jars coffee-making equipment, tea and other 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 opened businesses to meet their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a drink that was so popular in the moment that the Pope would drink it.
Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, which includes those from around the world, at three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online. The company also 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, grew up above his family's bakery on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. The owner continues to run the business in the same manner like his father and grandfather.
Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster is located along Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft across the street from their new shop in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).
Sey's focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the respect of knowledgeable New York City coffee aficionados. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santa region. The beans were picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove defects and then dried fermented for 36 hours prior to being dried on the farm. The result is a blend with hints of the melon and berry.
Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall well-being of employees and growers as well as its customers. It makes use of biodegradable plastics and composts, preventing waste from the landfill and converting it into agents that reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also does away with gratuity, which places baristas in the position to help sustain their livelihoods and inspire them to concentrate on their profession.
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 dedicated staff. Their honest and innovative approach to delivering an extraordinary coffee experience has earned them a following not only in their hometown, but globally.
La Carba follows a strict procedure to identify their ideal beans. They scour hundreds of beans each year in order to find the ones that best fit their ideals. Then they roast them in a very light manner and dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more vibrant taste and clarity.
The East Village store, which was opened in October of last year was praised for its top-quality pour-overs, as well as the baked goods that are overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel, and other coffee establishments.
The shop is equipped with a La Marzocco modbar, and the cups and plates are custom-designed at Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, the son and father studio. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different types of coffees each year, and typically has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts its own coffee and brews to order, with every cup of coffee roasted and brewed to your specifications in less than one minute. It searches the globe for the highest rated coffee beans-quality specialty beans that are sourced directly offering customers a the choice and quality.
The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology which is a bit different to the drum-type machines commonly found in the majority of UK coffee houses. The beans are blown about in the heated box by high-speed air that keeps the green beans in suspension and allows roasting to happen at a consistent rate throughout the machine.
I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was a rich cup with an enveloping mouthfeel, dark chocolate scent was present, and the coffee began to cool as you sip, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were evident.
The coffee is whisked to the store's Eversys brewing machines that are super-automatic and can be it is brewed to your requirements within less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins as well as various blends.
Parlor Coffee
It was founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop, complete with one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a growing roastery, whose beans are found at great cafes, restaurants and home brewers in the city. Parlor Coffee is dedicated to sourcing only the finest quality beans, which have been through a lengthy journey before reaching its roasters.
In their own words according to their own words, they "have an unrelenting love of craft and believe that good coffee should be accessible to anyone." They achieve that with their down-to-earth streetscape that is a mix of residential and commercial. Think compost bins, chalkboard welcome hand-made up-cycled goods, and a minimally-decorated space.
They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six at the time 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 taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a little away from the main roads, but well worth the trip.
