Beyond the Chains: Why 787 Coffee is the Best Local Specialty Coffee Shop in NYC and Best coffee shop in El Paso, TX and Puerto Rico (Copy)
Let’s Connect on Social
In a world filled with massive, impersonal coffee chains, the pursuit of a genuinely great cup often leads coffee lovers to a simple, crucial question: "Where is the best local coffee shop near me?"
The answer is rarely a chain. It's usually a space defined by quality, community, and an authentic story. At 787 Coffee, we don't just sell coffee; we offer an escape to the high mountains of Maricao, Puerto Rico—all without leaving the city you love. Our unique Farm-to-Cup journey isn't just about freshness; it creates the perfect atmosphere in every local shop we open. We love making you coffee.
The True Mark of a Local Coffee Shop: Farm-to-Cup Authenticity
A truly local coffee shop should reflect its own unique origin. Our commitment to being farmers before coffee shops we started with 100% Puerto Rican-grown, processed, and roasted coffee - as we have expanded we now partner with coffee farms in Puerto Rico and in the americas including Mexico and Colombia. This allows us to control the quality and vibe from the seed to your sip.
When you walk into a 787 Coffee location, you are getting:
1. The Freshest Beans Available: Our single-origin beans are shipped directly from one of our partner farms and our own Hacienda Iluminada to our roaster, then straight to your local shop.
2. A Tropical, Relaxing Vibe: Every shop is designed to transport you, offering a warm, community-focused space that cuts through the daily grind.
3. Handcrafted Expertise: Our baristas are specialists trained in preparing our unique, low-acidity Puerto Rican beans, ensuring a smoother, naturally sweeter cup.

Every bag you buy plants a coffee tree at Hacienda Iluminada, in Puerto Rico
NuevaYOL is a love letter to New York City — written in Puerto Rican,
Mexican, and Colombian beans, roasted fresh, and
shipped directly to your door.
Named for the city where Puerto Rico meets New York,
the NuevaYOL is 787 Coffee's best-selling limited
edition specialty coffee blend. Inspired by Bad
Bunny's NuevaYOL and designed with original artwork
by BrandON Ivan Peña — Co-Founder and CEO of 787
Coffee — this is the bag people buy once and
reorder forever.

- Beans from three origins: Puerto Rico, Mexico
and Colombia — each selected for quality,
sustainability, and flavor
- Tasting notes: Rich dark chocolate, Mexican
caramel sweetness, Colombian brightness,
Puerto Rican depth
- Roast: Full body. Bold. Unforgettable
- Format: 8oz whole bean — because freshness
starts with the grind

directly to your door — no warehouse,
no middleman, no compromise
WHY IT HITS DIFFERENT:
