10 Misconceptions Your Boss Holds About Coffee Bean Shop Coffee Bean Shop

Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you should visit a coffee shop. They offer a wide selection of whole beans from all across the globe. These stores also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware, and other items.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions for their coffee beans. Some shops offer the beans in large quantities.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee vendor who concentrates on international brews, loose teas and a variety.

The aroma of freshly roasting beans fills the air once you enter this West Village shop. The shelves are filled with jars and sacks of dark brown beans, with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories, and sugar.


In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increasing number of Italian immigrants who had opened businesses to serve their culinary requirements. Albanese named her shop after the renowned Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - - a drink that was so famous at the time that even the Pope drank it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, including those from around the world located in three locations including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online. The company also roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, was raised in the family bakery on Bleecker Street, where his father ran Porto Rico. He continues to operate 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 Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee in a loft on the fourth floor, just around the corner in 2011. They dubbed it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's commitment to buying micro-lots or whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were harvested at their peak of ripeness and steamed 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 goes beyond its shop to improve the overall well-being of growers and staff, as well as its customers. It uses composts and biodegradable disposables to keep waste out of the garbage dumps. This helps to reduce greenhouse gases and nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, a move that puts baristas in a position to sustain their livelihoods and inspire them to concentrate on their craft.

good coffee beans  is a modern specialty coffee business that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small shop and a team of dedicated employees. Their honest and creative approach to providing a unique coffee experience has earned them a following that was not only in their home town, but globally.

La Carba has a rigorous process to find their perfect beans, by scouring through hundreds of different varieties every year to locate the ones that fit their ideals. They then roast them very lightly, dialing in their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees a brighter taste and clarity.

The East Village store, which was opened in October of last year was praised for its excellent 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 uses the La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are designed by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different types of coffee per day and has typically seven or eight coffees available at any given moment.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee which roasts on-site and brews according to your preferences, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than one minute. It searches far and far to find the finest, directly sourced specialty beans that offer customers a variety and quality.

Their onsite roaster uses fluid bed technology which is a bit different to the classic drum-type machines used in the majority of UK coffee shops. The beans are blown around a heated box by high-velocity air which keeps the beans suspended and allows roasting to happen in a steady manner throughout the machine.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was rich with a velvety mouthfeel, dark chocolate scent was present, and the coffee began to cool while you sipped, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were detected.

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

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop with a single espresso machine. It has since developed into a burgeoning coffee roastery, whose beans are sold in top cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers all over the city. Parlor is committed to procuring high-quality coffee beans from all over the world each of which has had to endure a lengthy journey before it reaches the roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about their craft and believe that good coffee should accessible to everyone," have created a space that is grounded and filled with chalkboards. There are compost bins, recycled handmade items, and simple decor.

They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins. But they also host cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Imagine it as the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're off the beaten track and is worth a visit.
