// PORTLAND / LOS ANGELES / NEW YORK CITY, KYOTO //
the quintessential specialty coffee brand
Even if you’ve never actually stepped foot in any of Stumptown’s painfully hipster aesthetic cafes, you know her. You know the well-branded cold brew cans and bottles at Whole Foods. You have had the coffee at your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Hell, maybe you’ve bought the beans to brew at home. Stumptown is synonymous with the hip and the hipster. When you see this logo, you know that some millennial who cares too much about coffee can’t be far away.
But stereotypes aside, Stumptown has more than proven its quality over the years. For one, it has the street cred of being from Portland. It first opened in 1999 as a cafe and roastery in Portland and one of the early waves of “third wave” coffee culture. Over the years as it has grown (and ahem, become a subsidiary of larger conglomerates), it continues to churn out consistent quality product ethically and sustainably sourced from high quality beans around the world that passes the discerning palates of coffee nerds.
Stumptown feels premium yet accessible, the smell of the roasts in the industrial chic interiors are exactly what you’d expect. The branding is well-designed in a classic way, and each cup of coffee is brewed with care. From their daily brew to perfectly pulled espresso drinks to draft nitro cold brew, you really can’t go wrong. They have a pretty good variety of beans that appeal to various profiles, so it’s no surprise Stumptown has become a staple in the specialty coffee industry.
