Stumptown Coffee

I’ve been wanting to visit Stumptown since I first began to get serious about coffee, and my visit did not disappoint. The baristas were very friendly and talkative, and didn’t hesitate to jot down some other coffee shops to visit in the city. Love their iced latte and cold brew, wasn’t crazy about their honey peppercorn latte but to each their own. The shop is pretty small, there isn’t a lot of seating area, and what is available is cramped. Don’t plant to get any serious work done here. But this was definitely one of my favorite coffee experiences so far!

I thought Stumptown was all hype until I started coming here. This is the only coffee shop I've been to in Seattle where every single drink I've had is so good. I've had the cold brew, mocha, chai, and drip. Even the drip is amazing. I don't know how they do it. The only thing is the seating is sparse and uncomfortable. I have gone in several times when there was no seating at all.

Ordered a mocha here for my first time. It was quite good, not overly sweet. It was a bit pricey, but not overly so given the location. However, my visit seemed a bit lacking. The seating arrangement and table situation isn't conducive to getting much work done if you have much more than a laptop, and the music selection was a bit too upbeat for my liking (though you can just use your headphones, as I did). Would go again, but probably wouldn't frequent.

Stumptown is my go-to coffee shop.  They have the best mocha in Seattle (made with woodblock chocolate); it's creamy without the weird taste that chocolate syrups have.  I love their single-origin beans, and you can get a huge range of flavors (sage, lime, blackberry). Their Grand Cru beans come out a few times a year and I always have my friends over for a tasting.  They're some of the most unique beans you'll ever have.

Place is tiny so if you are thinking of coming and working here would not suggest that. This place would be better for meeting a friend. The quality is good, i should say i tried equally good cappuccino for cheaper price. Overall stuff is nice and friendly, bright space with huge window on one side. They also have some selection of pastries.
