Someone once said, “A morning without coffee is like sleep.” If this rings true for you and your coffee maker, Porto Rico Importing Co. is the place to go.

Coffee in NYC is a fine art
There’s nothing like having a fresh cup of coffee in the morning. And if you brew your own daily cup, you probably stick to the beans you love most. Well, your world is about to change (or, at least your coffee), because once you step foot into Porto Rico Importing Co. on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, you’ll never buy the store-brand or big-name beans again. Even better yet, Porto Rico’s Manhattan location is a short walk for TF Cornerstone residents living in the West Village.
Behind the large storefront in Greenwich Village sit dozens upon dozens of blends from all corners of the globe. Porto Rico Importing Co. in Manhattan knows what they’re doing, and have over 100 years of experience to prove it. This NYC coffee shop is almost like a candy store for the coffee enthusiast–burlap sacks overflowing with roasted beans.

If you’re nota coffee enthusiast, this place may seem a little daunting. Don’t worry–just tell the helper up front and let them point you in the right direction. It might feel like a shot in the dark at first, but after a few different blends you’re bound to find something new and refreshing. Oh, and don’t get stuck on the whole ‘imported’ coffee idea. Although these beans hark from all geographies and climates, they remain incredibly fresh on their journey to Greenwich Village.
