Still crossing cafes off the NY Times coffee list we found our way across town to Stumptown Coffee Roasters – they supply a few of the cafes and used to supply 9th Street espresso so we thought they’d be good. The cafe is not so much a cafe but a bar, simply an espresso bar – no tables and chairs, no food counter, no tea – just espresso and coffee beans.
It’s in the front of the very trendy Ace Hotel which has a very dark lobby with people gathered around laptops using the lobby as their office. Quite a good meeting point. We got some of their coffee to use at home – their blend called ‘Hair Bender’ – it’s very good and makes our filter cup we have to have in the mornings a little more bearable!
The coffee was good, very strong in the porcelain cups, I think the regular takeaway would’ve been perfect.
