Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee vendor who specialises in international brews loose teas, and a wide selection.

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

The first restaurant opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx Italian immigrants, who opened businesses in order to meet their dietary needs.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is situated 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 decision to buy micro-lots, or even whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned him the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai, a Brazilian coffee from the Espirito-Santo region. The beans were carefully picked at peak ripeness and floated to eliminate any defects and dried fermented for about 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a cup with hints of berry lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's goal of holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It makes use of composts and biodegradable products to ensure that waste is kept out of the landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also reduces gratuity. This lets baristas concentrate on their craft and help sustain their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty-coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a dedicated team. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing an exceptional coffee experience earned their acclaim not just in their home town but also around the world.

La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They scour through hundreds of varieties every year in order to find those that best meet their standards. They then roast them very lightly, adjusting their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees more clarity and a better taste.

The East Village store, which opened in the month of October last year and has been praised by critics for its Premium Hand-Roasted Decaf Arabica Coffee Beans (1 kg) pour-overs, as well as the baked goods, overseen and managed by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and various coffee beans wholesale suppliers establishments.

The shop employs a La Marzocco modbar, and the cups and plates are designed specifically for 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 usually seven or eight coffees available at any one time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts its own coffee and brews according to your preferences, with each cup of coffee roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than minutes. It searches the globe for the highest-grade specialty beans that are sourced directly providing customers with the option of choice and quality.

Their onsite roaster is a fluid bed device, which is different from traditional drum machines found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through an enclosed box that is heated and has high-speed air, which is circulated. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a consistent roasting rate.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was very rich with velvety mouthfeel. Dark chocolate aromas were present. The coffee began to cool while you sipped delicate citrus flavours fruit were evident.

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

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, equipped with a single group espresso machine. It has since morphed into a flourishing coffee roastery, whose coffee beans are available in top cafes as well as restaurants and home brewers in every city. Parlor is dedicated to sourcing high-quality beans from across the globe Each one has been through a long and difficult journey before it reaches the hands of its roasters.

In their own words, they "have an unrelenting love of craft and believe that good coffee should be accessible to anyone." They do just this by putting their home-like area on a residential street. Think compost bins, a chalkboard welcome, handmade up-cycled products and low-frills deco.

They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there) Also, they hold cuppings on Sundays, and are open to the public. Think of it like a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're a bit away from the tourist trail and it's worth the trip.
