StumpTown Coffee Roasters, Portland OR - Perfect Corner Coffee Shop

In Belmont area of Portland, another roaster that I love to go often is StumpTown Coffee Roaster.

StumpTown Coffee Roasters - Belmont, Portland OR (3356 SE Belmont Street Portland, OR 97214 Link)

StumpTown started out in Portland in 1999, and they now have 5 locations in Portland and expended to locations in Seattle, Los Angles and New York. I like their Belmont one for couple of reasons; the local feel and located in perfect neighborhood to walk around with a cup of coffee.

Inside StumpTown - truly a "corner coffee shop"

Their Belmont location of StumpTown is close to Oblique Roasters that I mentioned earlier; StumpTown is located on the corner of the busiest area of Belmont Street.  Across and around the shops have some nicely aged buildings which make you feel like you are back in 80s.

A nice neighborhood to walk around

 Just four blocks North of Stumptown is Laurelhurst Park where many of the locals walk around with dogs; it is surprisingly large park in such a conjested residential area. The park also has a little pond, and it is very nicely maintained.  It is perfect walking distance from StumpTown to enjoy a togo cup of coffee.

The location is great, but what about their coffee? Even better.  StumpTown is featured in the book : "Left Coast Roast: A Guide to the Best Coffee and Roasters from San Francisco to Seattle" which I have been using to navigate around Portland to find the best Coffee Roasters.  The book mentions that "they spend nine months each year in twenty different coffee-producing countries visiting some farms as many as three times annually."  In each of the bag of coffee bean they sell, it is marked "Direct Trade" with a nice little card explaining about the coffee grower.  Just a simple card make me feel connected to the grower and made each cup special and the taste and aroma differently support it.

Feeling like a nice walk with a very nice cup of coffee? I suggest an afternoon at StumpTown and the neighborhood that support them.

Stumptown Coffee can be purchased also at Portland Airport (PDX) right inside the security check-point. It would be a nice Portland gift when visiting other areas.
