I'm a New Yorker and I love my coffee. With so many options around, it's easy to get caught up with one or two convenient places, overlooking some of the many great purveyors around.
Most recently, I found a new place that's won my heart, as I believe it may very well have the best coffee I've ever had. I know that I'm not alone when I say that too.
The store has its origins in Portland, Oregon, with a few locations throughout the city and some others in Seattle. The founder of the chain moved to New York, and that's all to our benefit, as the first of a few planned branches has opened here.
I can't say which of the coffees happens to be my favorite. I might equally love them all, to be honest. What I do know is that patrons all seem to claim that everything there is top notch.
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've never been a regular coffee drinker, but Stumptown seems to be turning me into one. I find myself craving it every day now, and I know that I'm not the only one.
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.
I don't know if you'll be able to get to a Stumptown, but if you can, I'd definitely suggest trying the coffee out. You'll probably be hooked like I am. If you can't get to one, make it a point to stop at one if you're traveling.
