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

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrant Patsy Albonese. Greenwich Village at the time was witnessing an influx of Italian immigrants, who established businesses to satisfy their food needs. Albanese named her shop after the popular Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - - a drink that was that was so well-known at the time that even the Pope consumed 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. Porto Rico roasts their own beans and offers wholesale distribution for 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Sey Coffee

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 33-year-old co-founders started roasting cheap coffee beans in a loft on the fourth floor just across the street, in 2011. They dubbed 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 has earned it the respect of 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 picked at their peak ripeness and then floated to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend that is fragrant with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the well-being of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It utilizes biodegradable disposables as well as composts to keep waste out of garbage and converting it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also prevents gratuities. This allows baristas to concentrate on their work and help sustain their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee brand that was established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. It started with a small shop and a dedicated team. Their open and creative approach to delivering a truly exceptional coffee experience earned them a following, not just in their hometown, but globally.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of beans each year in order to find those that best meet their ideals. They roast them in a very light style then dial the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This results in a brighter taste and clarity.

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

The shop is equipped with a La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are designed specifically for 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 approximately 250 different coffees per year, and usually has seven or eight varieties available at any given point.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

It is a search engine for the finest specialty beans that are sourced directly, giving customers choices and high-quality.

The roaster they have on site is a fluid bed machine, which is different from traditional drum machines that are used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown around a heated container by high-speed air which keeps the green beans suspended and allows them to be roasted in a steady manner as they travel through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was rich and velvety with a rich and velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident in the aroma. As you sipped the coffee you could smell subtle citrus fruit flavours.

The coffee is then be transferred to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins as well as several blends.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about their craft and believe that a good cup of coffee beans bulk buy should be accessible to everyone," have created a space that is grounded and filled with chalkboards. There are compost bins, up-cycled hand-made 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 open to the public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting area--you can smell and taste the beans as they are roasted. They vary from earthy to chocolaty (one was almost like tomato!). It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip.
