Porto Rico Importing Co.

I went here after a friend told me it was his favorite coffee spot in the city and I was not disappointed. The shop itself is filled to the brim with coffee and has a unique old world feel that you aren’t likely to find in any other coffee shop in Manhattan. Personally, I found it very charming. The selection is seemingly endless and I don’t know how you could walk out of here without finding a coffee you’ll enjoy. I ordered a Cappuccino and was very happy with it. It has a strong coffee taste that contrasted perfectly with the steamed milk. Most spots ib NY can’t seem to get the ration right. Came out at the perfect temperature and they actualled filled the cup all the way which I appreciate! These guys know there stuff when it comes to coffee and I highly recommend you come here if you’re a coffee lover.

What an incredible place! The smell of the coffee beans as soon as you walk in drives you crazy. You'll want to try every single kind.

It’s a Disneyland for coffee lovers! As you soon as you are outside the door you can smell the lovely coffee aromas coming through from inside! We went there on a recommendation especially to try their coffee on our recent visit to NY and were not disappointed! The neighbourhood should be lucky to have a shop like this around , a whole variety of coffee available to buy from! They have small coffee counter at the back where you can order a cup a of coffee! We ordered lattes and were not disappointed!

looked like a really interesting shop with lots of coffee varieties so ventured in to buy some beans. start was unfortunately unfriendly, although not too big of an issue. Bought a bag of 'new orleans' blend and asked for whole beans. thoroughly shocked to discover back home that it was mixed in with a ton of ground beans that were stale and even stuck together. I have never seen ground beans mixed in with whole beans ever. perhaps to make up the weight. the beans themselves were stale beyond anything. when asked how long ago they roasted it they said 2 weeks but this level of staleness has to be at least 2 months or more. really poor business practice to do such a thing. tried sieving out the mixed grounds but it was futile and decided to throw everything away.

This store also does espresso machine repairs. They are THE BEST repair people you could ever ask for. Juan has serviced my La Pavoni machine multiple times and each time has perfectly fixed it, in a timely fashion, and has gone way above and beyond in providing world class service. If you have an espresso machine which needs repair, you can trust these guys.
