Hands down still my favorite place for coffee (and to purchase loose leaf tea) in NYC. Not too strong, but not light either, the perfect medium roast. Super cute, cozy and charming. The type of place where you would feel cool to be a regular at. Highly recommend this shop.

I ordered the French Mocha Java pour over. It was one of the best/strongest coffee I've had. It had a bold flavor just what I wanted. The service was not the best. I'm giving it 4 stars for the coffee and 1 star for cashier service.

Ah, I'm sitting at home enjoying some of the house blend beans I picked up a few days ago while in the city. I was at the Essex Market location, so the selection of beans is limited. My favorite is the Haitian (an employee turned me on to it years ago) but it was not one at the Market location. Kind of disappointing, but I also knew whatever I brought home would also be perfection. And it is! I also got a half pound of the Costa Rican, which I have yet to try. As coffee prices have skyrocketed and/or being sold at 12 ounces instead of a pound, Porto Rico has maintained what I find to be a reasonable price for a superior product. All staff is really knowledgeable and I normally just let them lead me to finding my new favorite coffee. I love coffee; while I can understand a great cup from an average to a terrible cup, I can't pick up any coffee tasting notes so I just let the experts do their thing! Also, I brought along a punch card from BEFORE the start of the pandemic. They still are offering a loyalty program when other places have cut these programs to save money. Love it, and love this place!

Best coffee in the world!! For real! Must visit while in the neighborhood, my fav is oat milk cappuccino Lovely atmosphere, smell inside the coffee shop is amazing, team is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and of course, very talented! Thank you guys! Xoxo

I used to have a friend who lived on 1st and would pass Porto Rico Importing Co. I always thought it looked like a really cool store. It reminded me of a store in the neighborhood I grew up and loved. Porto Rico Importing Co. may be a small store but what it lacks in size is made up by the knowledge, helpfulness , and friendliness of the staff. You can buy coffee beans whole or ground; caffeinated or not. They have lovely teas and coffee and tea supplies. I would definitely go back again because it really is a very special place that is becoming more and more rare to find.

I have been coming to this location for more than three years, and I have to say it is one of the most pleasant, warm, and friendly experiences. The coffee is phenomenal, best iced americano. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable about the coffee. Every time I hear someone ask about what coffee or beans the staff recommends, they are very thoughtful about their response making sure that they understand what type of coffee the person likes. Jenny and all the staff are very knowledgeable and kind. This is easily my favorite neighborhood spot!

To Me, best coffee in the East Village, loved their espresso. Mmmm!

Tons of coffee selection here. Excellent bean choices and the option of making it a latte. You can also conveniently purchase beans to bring home and grind.

This place is awesome. I wanted to start trying different coffee beans and this is a great place to start. they have a wide selection of beans and grind the beans (if you want) based on how you plan on brewing it. Personal favorite is the vienna costa rican
