Good prices, good selection, staff is a bit who-gives-care. Maybe it's performance art imitating rebellious teenagers?

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I often stop in Porto Rico to get a quick cup of coffee to go, or to get my supply of beans. They have a huge variety of fresh roasted beans, and many at a great value. They charge like $.75 for a cup of coffee if you bring your own mug, which is cheap and environmentally responsible. Their mochaccino usually is bad, and subsequently I dont really trust their espresso drinks. The employees are really lax, which is fine if you are not in a rush, but frustrating if you are. They also stock various coffee mugs, filters, pots, etc.

Pros: Coffee Beans, Variety, Value

Cons: Inattentive Service, Bad Espresso Drinks

Great coffee, selection, and prices, but staff can be so relaxed they seem to forget they're at work, and coffee weighing varies wildly. Better bring your own scale to the East Village location!

We love going to the village to buy coffee at Porto Rico. We LOVE mixing 1/2 chocolate coffee with 1/2 Orange coffee. A fine dessert with out the calories.

Pros: scent, freshness, selection

Cons: crowded

Sad to say but this could be the last unpretentious place in SOHO. I am referring to the Porto Rico on Thompson, not Bleeker which happens to be wonderful as well. SOHO has obviously sold out. Just a block from Porto Rico you can find D&G, DKNY and COACH (plus 1 million tourists) - you might as well be on the upper east side. HOW TO STAY REAL  consistant great quality & cost  great staff who usually play good music YES - SMOKING  NO - CELL PHONES ALLOWED (my favorite) same non-descript decore for the past 28 years Ive known the place.
