Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's commitment to buying micro-lots, or even whole harvests, from single farmers has earned it the praise of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were picked at the peak of ripeness, and then steamed to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the wellbeing of employees, customers and growers extends beyond the retail store. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts, keeping waste out of the landfill and converting it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gases and enrich the soil. It also reduces gratuity. This allows baristas to concentrate on their work and to earn a living.

La Carba has a rigorous process to find their perfect beans, searching through hundreds of different lots a year to find the ones that are perfect for their tastes.

The Roasting Plant, a multi-unit coffee retailer roasts and brews the coffee on site. Each cup is brewed and roasted according to your requirements in less than seconds. It searches the world for the highest quality Specialty Coffee Beans beans that are directly sourced providing customers with choice and quality.

The roaster they have on site is a fluid bed machine that is distinct from the classic drum machines used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown in an enclosed box that is heated and has high-speed, circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a consistent roasting rate.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was very rich with velvety mouthfeel. Dark chocolate aromas were present. The luxury coffee beans began to cool as you sip delicate citrus flavours fruit were detected.

The roasted coffee is then transported to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing equipment and brewed to your specification within less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins and several blends.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about coffee and believe that good quality coffee beans coffee should be available to everyone," have created a space that is grounded, with chalkboards, compost bins, up-cycled hand-made items, and simple decor.

They roast and brew their own blends and single-origins (there were six when I was there) Also, they do cuppings Sundays, which are open to the public. Imagine it as a tasting area where you can smell and taste the ground beans. They are a mix of earthy and chocolate (one was almost like tomato!). They're a bit off the beaten track however, they're well worth a trip.
