Open sacks of dark-brown beans line the shelves, along with sugar jars, coffee-making equipment as well as tea accessories. Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrant Patsy Albonese.

The business is still run by the shop in the same way as his father and grandfather. Sey Coffee Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster is located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This neighborhood, located in Brooklyn's Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor, just across the street, in the year 2011. The name was 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. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were harvested at their peak ripeness and then floated to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon. Sey's commitment goes beyond its shop to improve the overall wellbeing of staff and growers, as well as its customers. It uses composts and biodegradable plastics to keep waste out of landfills. This helps to reduce greenhouse gases and nourish the soil. It also reduces gratuity. This allows baristas to focus on their craft and to earn a living. La Cabra La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee brand, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012.

According to their own words according to their own words, they “have an unrelenting passion for craft and a belief that great coffee should be accessible to anyone.” They achieve this with their earthy area on a residential street. Think compost bins, a chalkboard welcome handmade up-cycled products, and a minimalist deco. They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins. However, they also hold cuppings on Sundays that are open to the general public. Imagine it as an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip.
