10 Misconceptions Your Boss Shares About Coffee Bean Shop

Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee connoisseur then you'll want to visit a coffee bean shop. These shops offer a variety of whole beans from all over the world. They also have unique kitchenware and trinkets.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others offer the coffeee beans in bulk at their retail locations.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee shop that concentrates on international brews, loose teas, and a variety.

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

Originally opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increasing number of Italian immigrants who established businesses to cater to their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the well-known Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage so famous at the time 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. Porto Rico roasts its own beans and offers wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the company was raised on the top floor of the bakery of his family on Bleecker Street where his father operated Porto Rico. The owner continues to run the shop in the same way like his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a coffee shop and roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft just around the corner 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 focus on buying micro-lots, or even entire harvests, from single farmers has earned it the acclaim of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santa region. The coffeee beans were picked at the peak of ripeness, and steamed to remove any defects. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee that has hints of melons and berries.

Sey's focus on holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the store. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of garbage and converting it into agents that reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also does away with gratuity, which puts baristas into a position to help sustain their livelihoods as well as encourage them to concentrate on their craft.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company started with a modest store and a committed staff. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a loyal following not just in their hometown but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They scour through hundreds of varieties every year to find those that best fit their ideals. Then they roast them in a light style and dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees more clarity and a better taste.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek, minimalist design. It's been praised by global coffee enthusiasts for its scrumptious pour-overs and baked goods overseen by head baker Jared Sexton, who's previously worked at Bien Cuit and Dominique Ansel.

The shop uses the La Marzocco modbar and the cups and plates are custom-designed at Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, an artist-run by a father and son. In a recent Q&A with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves approximately 250 different varieties of coffee each year, and typically has seven or eight varieties available at any given point.

The coffee is then be transferred to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines and brewed according to your specifications in less than one minute. Customers can pick from nine single origin options and a variety of blends.
