"Stumptown = Liquid Crack. This particular coffee location shares space with the hippest spot in the neighborhood: the Ace Hotel. Grab a latte (complete with latte art) and feel free to enjoy it in the lobby—you may run into a famous local or two." - Laundry Service
"Originally from Portland but residing in what was formerly the Eighth Street Bookshop of the '50’s and '60’s, and famous hangout for the Beat Scene Generation writers Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso. This coffee shop continues to capture the unique corner building’s neighborhood feel and vibe." - 345 Design
"A favorite caffeine fueling station for more than a few. Their brew is rich and dark, full of flavor. Get the nitro and really get yourself in gear." - Visualized
"During the day, the lobby of the Ace Hotel is mostly filled with people who have a few hours to kill before their next tech Meetup. The Stumptown outpost in here serves quality caffeine until 8pm, and the huge hotel lobby has lots of comfortable couches and armchairs. There’s also wifi and a good noise level, so you can have a meeting without whispering or screaming. Just be prepared to hear people casually drop “Silicon Alley” and “letter of intent” into conversation." - matt tervooren
"I love a proper nitro [cold brew]. There's just something nice and airy and really smooth about it. I like my coffee to have a more mellow roast. When I take my dog Neon on a walk to the park, there's a Stumptown nearby, and they always have some good fresh nitro. I highly recommend the Hair Bender blend when the week is almost done and it's a Friday and you need that extra kick." - brennan carley
