Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

Some of these shops offer subscriptions for their coffee beans. Some shops offer coffee beans in bulk.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee shop that specializes in international brews as well as a range of loose teas

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

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing a surge of Italian immigrants, who established businesses in order to meet their dietary 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.

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, Brooklyn 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 business in the same fashion as his father did and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both an espresso bar and a coffee roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft across the street from their new location in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's preference for micro-lots or even whole harvests from single farmers 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 Santa region. The beans were picked at their peak of ripeness and then steamed to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a cup with hints of berry lemongrass and melon.

Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall well-being of growers and staff, as well as customers. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of landfills and converting it to agents that lower harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also removes gratuities. This allows baristas to concentrate on their work and earn a living.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of varieties each year to find the ones that best meet their ideals. They then roast them very light, adjusting the desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more vibrant taste and clarity.

They do just this by putting their home-like area on a residential street. Think compost bins, chalkboard welcome handmade up-cycled items, and a minimalist deco.

They roast and create their own blends and single-origins (there were six when I was there) Also, they offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Imagine it as a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolatey to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're off the beaten path however, they're well worth a trip.
