They also have unique trinkets and kitchenware. Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Some shops sell them in large quantities. Porto Rico Importing Co. Veteran coffee vendor specializing in international brews, as well as a variety of loose teas When you step into this old-school West Village shop, the smell of fresh roasting beans fills your nostrils. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves alongside sugar jars, coffee-making equipment as well as tea accessories. The first restaurant opened in 1907, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an large influx of Italian immigrants who opened businesses to meet their culinary requirements.

Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, which includes those from around the globe located in three locations including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online.

They called it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler. Sey's focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers earned it the praise of knowledgeable New York City coffee aficionados. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were picked at their peak ripeness, floated to eliminate any defects, then dry fermented for 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, melon and lemongrass. Sey's commitment to holistically improving the quality of life for staff, growers and customers extends beyond the walls of the shop. It uses composts and biodegradable plastics to keep waste from landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, a move that puts the baristas in a position to support their livelihoods and inspire them to concentrate on their art. La Cabra La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a team of dedicated employees. Their honest and innovative method of providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not only in their own town and across the globe.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was rich with velvety mouthfeel. Dark chocolate from the fragrance was present and the coffee started to cool as you sipped and subtle aromas of citrus fruit were detected. The roasted coffee will then be poured into the store's Eversys Super-Automatic brewing Machines and brewed according to your specifications in under a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins as well as a variety blends. Parlor Coffee Founded in 2012 in the back of a barbershop with an espresso machine with a single group, Parlor Coffee has become an energizing roastery whose coffees can be found in top cafes, restaurants and home brewers throughout the city. Parlor is committed to procuring high-quality coffee beans from all over the world Each one has endured a laborious journey before arriving in the hands of its roasters. The owners, who are self-described as “passionate about their craft and believe that great coffee should be available to everyone,” have created a space that is grounded and has chalkboards, compost bins, up-cycled handmade products, and a minimalist interior. They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins. But they also hold cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting area where you can taste and smell the beans as they are roasted. They vary from earthy to chocolaty (one was almost like tomato!). They're a bit off the beaten track but are worthwhile to visit.
