Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Portland OR

Super swanky coffee shop — great ambience and music. Chai tea latte was pretty tasty.

$5 for a small latte — if you’re on a budget I’d go somewhere else but at least you’re supporting local businesses

They have some great drip coffee options to choose from. Very conveniently located to a lot of other downtown highlights.

Excellent service along side the extremely nice staff makes their already amazing coffee that much better.

They didn't have whipped cream or two of the other things I asked about, and my hot chocolate didn't taste sweet at all. It was almost bitter. Also I got two drinks, both large, and one of them was in a small cup. No thank you I'll skip this place next time

We ordered Macha Latte and Mocha, both taste really great! Neither of the drinks is too sweet and you can feel the original smell of macha and milk.

Great coffee shop. Great atmosphere for reading or chatting. The music here is great the sound is among the best. High quality. The art on the walls is usually very great. I'm glad that dine-in seating is back.

Not your average 8am brew. After being served a cup of foamed attitude with an extra shot of superiority, we sat to enjoy our beverages but, we were not prepared for what came next. Transitioning from a nearly inaudible acoustic mix, the volume 20x increased with an onslaught of soul piercing underground synth. There was just one thought that I could fit into the music-instilled brainwave rage: do nightmares ever end? By the time I nearly answered the thought, I became assaulted by the grim reaper of sound waves. Being new to such a feeling, naturally I Shazam’ed it and was unsurprised by the title “Hell was Full” followed by “Burn the Witch”, both by Patriarchy.
All in all, we survived but likely won’t be returning for fear of being swallowed by the depths of hell. Others may appreciate the vibes if heroine just doesn’t cut it for you.

My sister loves this coffee shop. I find it very limited in options, poor service, and a bit pretentious. If you don’t mind waiting, three baristas ignoring you, and having a standard latte, then this is the place for you. If your sister forces you to go, then grab some voodoo donuts in the way; it makes it tolerable! ;)

Stumptown is a small coffee shop with a bit of an industrial design. They have a good selection of caffeine and non-coffee options and they managed to get the temperature of my coffee perfect for immediate consumption.

I love Stumptown Coffee! When I lived in NYC Stumptown was a go-to spot for me. So when I came into Portland for business, I knew I had to go.

The staff was friendly. The vibe in the space was eclectic.

My Americano was smooth and flavorful. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, which was delicious! The garlic pesto was a tasty touch.

If you are in the area, stop in!

Great mocha, and I got both the Ocean roll and a chocolate chip cookie. And promptly ate them both. Well it sure seemed like the thing to do at time. I'm really full.

Used to be a great place to fill up on good and reasonably priced coffee before blasting around town all day on a bike. Sadly, it appears they have fallen victim to their own hype. Stumptown promised to stay local only, but a check with enough zeros on it squashed that. Prices have become completely unreasonable and the customers who frequent Stumptown these days are no longer the working class bike folk of the past. Seems like the owners got too rich and forgot who they initially promised to serve. I imagine they spend a lot of their time now farting in wine glasses and sniffing it.

Flavor of their coffee is completely different with other cafes. It has a original flavor. Staffs were so nice! Love to visit this cafe.

The smug attitude from the mask nazis behind the counter make the overpriced coffee taste even bitter than normal. Probably go somewhere else if you wanted to be treated like a human being.

The restrooms were closed and you had to wear a mask to go in even though they've opened up service in the state for those who have been vaccinated so not my favorite.

Good selection of different beans and brewing methods. Some fun sweet drinks, like the "peachy keen". Less variety than e.g. Peet's.

I'm hypoglycemic and the worker there helped me pick the best drink! It was so good even though it was sugar free and they were so quick to suggest something perfect that accommodated what I needed! It was sooo good and super cute inside too!

Only takeout is still available.
Check the number of people in the store at the entrance and let them in.
The artworks hanging in the store were all nice and nice.
Not only coffee beans but also bread, hats, bags, cups, etc.were on sale.
The coffee I drank on this day was even better because it tasted sour.

Some may be surprised to find out that Peet's coffee quietly bought out/acquired Stumptown in 2015; however, it seems that their deal meant Stumptown coffee would not be sold in Peet's cafes or vice versa. Acquisition notwithstanding, Stumptown is a worthwhile third-wave poster-child-that means availability of single origin beans, latte art, and manual brewing (e.g. Pour overs).

Although Stumptown was founded in 1999, I didn't get to try it until a few years later when I visited Portland in an almost-move scenario. Since then, I've had a chance to sample their coffee a few times when visiting and I recently acquired their Passport Trio direct trade box. I really found the sampler pack a treat. Each variety, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, and Indonesia, was tasty and I'd actually say the box is a good value overall (about 38 bucks). In addition, it would make a great gift (hint hint!). If you're in the area, put this on your short-list!

These people are open. They are so kind. If you are in the area stop by and get something. Real people doing real things thank you for being care for us people that come downtown.
