Sey's focus on buying micro-lots, and even whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the acclaim of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were carefully picked at the peak of ripeness, then removed by flotation to eliminate defects and then dried fermented for a period of 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon.

In their own words, they "have a relentless passion for craft and a belief that good coffee should be accessible to everyone." They accomplish that with their down-to-earth street space, which includes compost bins, chalkboards, handmade up-cycled products and a minimally-decorated space.

They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins, but they also hold cuppings on Sundays that are open to the general public. Imagine it as a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a little off the beaten path but worth the trip.
