Stumptown Coffee Wins my Heart
Posted on 28. Nov, 2009 by Michael Lucas in Women's Health
Living in a busy city like New York has its ups and downs. While the cost of living is more expensive, there are some major benefits like the fact that we’re home to so much great food. There’s some great coffee here as well.
A few weeks ago, I walked by Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a place that I had heard about but never ventured to try. I had heard good things, but never realized just how much I’d grow to love their coffee in such a short time period.
The original Stumptown Coffee Roasters is based in Oregon, and there aren’t many locations to date. Still, the coffee here is treasured by its patrons and the chain’s expansion to New York is a pleasant surprise.
It seems that everything on the menu may very well be great. I’ve heard others say this, and the theory has proven true thus far. The coffee is higher grade than anything you’ll find at Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts, and it’s hard for me to go back to those after trying Stumptown’s roast.
The pricing here is a pleasant surprise too. Most should be prepared to pay higher prices for higher grade coffee beans, but the difference is nothing more than a few cents at best. I’d say it’s well worth the price, as I’ll gladly pay for the quality.
I’m not alone when I say that this is the best coffee I’ve ever had. The chain has won numerous awards, and those who’ve tried it seem to be just as hooked as I am.
Seattle residents are going as far as saying that Stumptown has the best coffee in their city. When a coffee chain is winning the praise of drinkers in a huge coffee city like Seattle, I think the praise speaks for itself.
Unless you live in New York, Portland, Seattle, or certain California cities, you may not be able to get to a Stumptown yet. While the chain may expand, for now, you may have to settle on trying it out whenever you end up in one of these cities.
