The best specialty coffee roasters in Brooklyn

Brooklyn has become a central hub for specialty coffee, defined by a commitment to transparency and precise roasting profiles. Our current catalog features six distinct roasters from the borough, including Sey Coffee, Parlor Coffee, and Devoción. These roasters prioritize high-quality sourcing, ranging from the experimental Striped Borbón by Wilton Benitez to classic, clean lots like the Guatemala Pulcal from Parlor. While this selection is currently limited to six roasters, it represents the core of the local scene. Whether you prefer the bright, modern acidity favored by Sey or the more traditional, balanced profiles from Partners and Stone Street, these roasters offer a clear look at the current state of Brooklyn coffee. We have curated these picks based on our composite scoring to help you find your next bag.
