Plantatio Blue Mountain coffee

Wholesale coffee roasters keep New York’s cafés stocked with beans that travel farther than most of the baristas who brew them. Plantatio Blue Mountain coffee specializes in single-origin lots from Jamaica’s misty highlands, supplying espresso blends and filter roasts to the city’s independent shops and micro-roasteries.

You’ll find the warehouse on University Avenue, just south of the Bronx Zoo. The address—2214 University Ave Bronx, NY 10453—places it within a short walk of Fordham Road’s transit hub, where the B and D subway lines intersect with half a dozen bus routes. Trucks and vans move in and out of the industrial stretch all day, but the area still feels like a neighborhood, with lunch counters and hardware stores anchoring the sidewalks.

Orders are placed by the sack, not the cup. Roast profiles range from light and tea-like to dark and caramelized, each batch cupped and logged before it leaves the dock. Clients can request custom labels or private-label blends, though the house signature—Blue Mountain peaberry—remains the bestseller. To place an order or check lead times, call the office directly.

Directions to the loading bay are easiest to follow on the map. The phone number is 718-364-5000. Afternoons bring a lull in deliveries, so the block quiets down just enough to hear the elevated train rattle past on Jerome Avenue.
