The Magic of Plants!
Plants at 787 Coffee
At 787 Coffee, we don't just treat our plants as decor, but as a part of our family. We take care of them with love and water them regularly. Plants are a nice way to be part of our daily lives and see them grow each day. Every morning our baristas open, and they can be surprised to find a new leaf or a new flower.
In order to see growth we must be consistent like in any area of our lives. To keep our plants healthy and happy, we discovered that consistency is key too. That's why we water them every Tuesday and Friday. You might ask, Why Tuesdays and Fridays? We chose these days because after giving them all the love and attention possible we found that this schedule keeps them perfectly hydrated without overwatering, ensuring that they're always at their best. Plus, these days provide enough time for the soil to dry out just a touch, which is crucial for preventing root rot and other water-related issues.
The Magic About Watering Plants
Watering plants can be relaxing for our caffeinated baristas. It's a wonderful way for them to step out from behind the bar, take a moment to relax, and connect with our coffee shop and our plants. Life can be hectic, and all humans need a moment of relaxation to keep going. Being around plants can reduce stress and calm you down. Whether you are a plant lover or not, watering plants is a simple and relaxing task that reminds us to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty around us. And for our lovely plants, it’s like getting two guaranteed days of watering each week, keeping them happy and healthy
At 787 Coffee, we are making small efforts to help our planet by planting flowers and plants and watering them every Tuesday and Friday. Plants also help us clean the air in the spaces we are in.

#787coffee
Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a farm. We own Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico — and Supremo is the coffee it was built for.
Award-winning: Supremo carries the same specialty quality that earned 787 Coffee #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America — The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, 2026.
Supremo is our flagship single-origin specialty coffee: a smooth medium roast of specialty-grade Arabica, grown at 3,000 feet in the mountains of Maricao and honey-processed for natural sweetness and depth. Tasting notes: dark chocolate, buttery caramel, citrus, and honey.
Honey-processed means the sweet mucilage is left on the bean as it sun-dries at the farm, so the sugars absorb right into the coffee — you taste it in every cup. Single-origin means every bean comes from one farm, with full traceability. No blending. No mystery origin.
Roasted to order in small batches — under 15 minutes, never sitting in a warehouse. And every bag plants one coffee tree at Micro Lot 2026, Hacienda Iluminada.
Brew it your way — espresso, pour-over, or drip. Available whole bean or ground.
Make it a subscription and save 10% — never run out of your daily cup. And if you love Supremo, taste it in our limited-edition Soccer & Coffee fútbol-season bag.
Grown with care. Roasted with purpose. Fueled by passion. For Humans, By Humans.
ONE BAG. ONE TREE.
It's fútbol season — try our limited-edition Soccer & Coffee bag, the same farm-grown Supremo roast in collectible hand-painted art.
