If you're a coffee connoisseur You'll want to check out a coffee bean to cup coffee beans shop. These shops offer a variety of whole beans from all over the globe. They also sell exclusive trinkets, kitchenware, and other things.

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, loose teas and a variety.

As you enter this quaint West Village shop, the scent of freshly coffee beans fills your nostrils. The shelves are lined with jars and sacks of dark brown beans, along with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories and sugar.

Originally opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx Italian immigrants, who had opened businesses to meet their food requirements. Albanese named her shop after the renowned Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage so popular that even the Pope was a fan.

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

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

Sey Coffee

The shop is located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a coffee shop and roaster. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their co-founders, who are 33 years old, started roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor, just across the street, in 2011. They named it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin, and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's preference for micro-lots or even whole harvests from single farmers has been praised by discerning New York City coffee aficionados. Last year they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated to get rid of any imperfections and dried fermented for 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a cup 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 customers. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts, preventing waste from the landfill and converting it into substances that reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and feed the soil. It also removes gratuities. This allows baristas to concentrate on their work and earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty-coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It started with a small shop and a dedicated team. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a following, not just in their own town but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to identify their ideal beans. They go through hundreds of varieties every year to find those that best fit their ideals. Then they roast them in a very light style then dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a greater clarity and a more vibrant taste.

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

The shop employs the La Marzocco modbar, and the cups and plates are made by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, an artist-run by a father and son. 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 typically has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts on site and brews to order, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your preferences in less than an hour. It scour the globe for the highest-quality specialty beans that are sourced directly, giving customers the option of choice and quality.

The roaster on site uses fluid bed technology which is a bit different to the classic drum-type machines used in many UK coffee shops. The beans are blown about in an enclosed box heated by high-speed air that keeps the green beans suspended and allows them to be roasted at a consistent rate when they pass through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was velvety and rich with a smooth taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma, and as you sipped the coffee you could smell subtle citrus fruit flavors.

The roasted coffee will then be taken to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your specifications within less than a minute. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a variety of blends.

Parlor Coffee

In 2012, the company was established in the back of a barbershop with an espresso machine that was single-group, Parlor Coffee has become an energizing roastery whose coffees can be found in top cafes, restaurants and home brewers across the city. Parlor is committed to sourcing top-quality beans from all over the world Each one has been through a long and difficult journey before it reaches the roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about coffee beans in bulk and believe that great coffee should be accessible to everyone," have created a place that is a bit more grounded, with chalkboards, compost bins and up-cycled products, and minimal 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 accessible to the public. Imagine it as a tasting area where you can taste and smell the ground beans. They are a mix of earthy and chocolate (one was similar to tomato!). They're away from the main roads however, they're well worth a trip.
