The aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air once you enter this West Village shop. The shelves are lined with jars, sacks and dark brown beans, with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories, and sugar.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx Italian immigrants, who opened businesses in order to meet their culinary needs. Albanese named her shop after the famous Puerto Rican coffee she imported (and sold) - a beverage that was so popular at the time that even the Pope was a fan.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 began roasting in a fourth-floor loft around the corner 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 focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from single farmers--has been praised by discerning New York City coffee aficionados. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were picked at peak ripeness and removed by flotation to eliminate defects and dried fermented for 36 hours prior to being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee that has hints of berry and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the wellbeing of growers, staff and customers extends beyond the retail store. It uses composts and biodegradable disposables to keep waste from landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, which puts baristas into a position to provide their livelihoods as well as encourage them to concentrate on their profession.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee brand, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny store and a committed staff. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing a unique luxury coffee beans experience has earned their acclaim not just in their home town but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of varieties every year to find those that best fit their ideals. Then they roast them in a light manner before dialing the roast to create their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees more vibrant taste and clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek and minimalist design. It's been praised by international 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 is equipped with the La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are custom-designed at Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent Q&A interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different types of coffees each year, and usually has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given moment.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is a multi-unit retailer of coffee, roasts and brews its coffee on the spot. Each cup is brewed and roasted according to your specifications within less than an hour. It is a search engine for the finest specialty beans that are sourced directly to give customers the option of the choice and quality.

The roaster they have on site is a fluid bed machine, that is distinct from the traditional drum machines that are used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown into a heated container with high-speed, circulating air. This keeps the beans suspended and ensures a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was very rich with an enveloping mouthfeel, dark chocolate aromas were evident and the coffee began to cool as you sip, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were detected.

The coffee that has been roasted is whisked to the coffee bean shop Eversys super-automatic brewing machines and brewed to your specification in under a minute. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a range of blends.

Parlor Coffee is dedicated to sourcing only the highest rated coffee beans-quality beans, that have gone through a long journey before arriving at its roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that good quality coffee beans coffee should be accessible to all," have created a environment that is simple and filled with chalkboards. There are compost bins and up-cycled products, and minimal decor.

They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there), but they also have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Imagine it as the tasting room of a brewery. You can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a little off the beaten path, but well worth the trip.
