Stumptown is my go-to coffee shop. They have the best mocha in Seattle (made with woodblock chocolate); it's creamy without the weird taste that chocolate syrups have. I love their single-origin beans, and you can get a huge range of flavors (sage, lime, blackberry). Their Grand Cru beans come out a few times a year and I always have my friends over for a tasting. They're some of the most unique beans you'll ever have.
Place is tiny so if you are thinking of coming and working here would not suggest that. This place would be better for meeting a friend. The quality is good, i should say i tried equally good cappuccino for cheaper price. Overall stuff is nice and friendly, bright space with huge window on one side. They also have some selection of pastries.
Ordered a mocha here for my first time. It was quite good, not overly sweet. It was a bit pricey, but not overly so given the location. However, my visit seemed a bit lacking. The seating arrangement and table situation isn't conducive to getting much work done if you have much more than a laptop, and the music selection was a bit too upbeat for my liking (though you can just use your headphones, as I did). Would go again, but probably wouldn't frequent.
I’ve been wanting to visit Stumptown since I first began to get serious about coffee, and my visit did not disappoint. The baristas were very friendly and talkative, and didn’t hesitate to jot down some other coffee shops to visit in the city. Love their iced latte and cold brew, wasn’t crazy about their honey peppercorn latte but to each their own. The shop is pretty small, there isn’t a lot of seating area, and what is available is cramped. Don’t plant to get any serious work done here. But this was definitely one of my favorite coffee experiences so far!
My go to coffee shop near Capitol Hill! Loved the rice milk!
Tried the cold brew, which they specialise in and it was really nice. Gave me a sample of their boost (?) One and I loved it. Also a fan of their cold brew with milk that I get from world market. Small place but comfortable and great staff. Would be my place of choice if I lived in Seattle.
I'm a huge fan of Stumptown coffee so it was a treat to visit one of their cafes. The atmosphere was excellent and very casual and I enjoyed the simple yet comfy style. I ordered a basic dark roast drip to start and it was the smooth, flavorful Stumptown that I've come to expect. Later on I decided to order a decaf (that's right) latte. It was perfectly made - a wonderful coffee flavor with just enough milk to add a creamy thickness to the drink. The coffee art was well done, too. Well, at least until I destroyed it pre-photo. The shop was a bit small so it probably gets pretty packed during peak hours but from what I can tell the employees know their stuff and make a damn good cup o' joe.
Small and cute place. The staff are friendly and helpful when I was selecting coffee beans to purchase as gifts. You can ask them for samples tasters. Lots of beans selection and I really liked their coffee!
I thought Stumptown was all hype until I started coming here. This is the only coffee shop I've been to in Seattle where every single drink I've had is so good. I've had the cold brew, mocha, chai, and drip. Even the drip is amazing. I don't know how they do it.
The only thing is the seating is sparse and uncomfortable. I have gone in several times when there was no seating at all.
Probably the best coffee I've had in Seattle! The cafe is cute, but small. I was disappointed that they didn't sell larger bags of whole beans in their store -- they sell the exact same products as other stores are carrying.
Fantastic coffee, but be ready for a very long wait. The coffee, particularly the iced coffee is incredible, as befits the premium price. However, the line is always long and people placing ridiculous orders, slow baristas, and people who need to swap 15 minute stories with their best friend baristas mean you may be waiting a while.
I spend so much time here. Wrote most of my cookbook there in fact. The employees are always cool, and the coffee is serious. It is usually pretty busy with a wide range of clientele, which makes it fun to hang out.
Small cafe with modern, airy decor. Good service. Nice foam for my dry cappuccino and balanced half-caf Americano with good amount of cream. They also have a good selection of nitrogen cold brews.
Very good space for a quick cup of coffee and chat with friends. They play music that's very good to get that quick reading/writing assignment done at the bar by the restrooms. Great coffee too!
Cool ambiance, good coffee, and yummy pastries! Would definitely return. :)
This is a great shop, just as all Stumptown locations have been for me. I had a quick espresso at the counter. The barista was talkative but the space was packed. I recommend grabbing a quick coffee and heading back out into the world.
The baristas are skilled, the service is great, in my opinion the best coffee roast in Seattle. Sometimes the music playing is chaotic and shitty. I'll spend 3-4 hours of my morning working at the laptop bar, enjoying my headphones while nestled within a bustling atmosphere. It's a solid coffee house.
Some of the best quality coffee I've ever had. As well kool little place to hang out near SU & near Cherry Hill. Highly recommend it if your around. Dont be basic, pass on the SB & go to ST!
EXCELLENT service. On a recent trip back east, I discovered new ways to enjoy coffee. I wanted to be able to do it at home as well and found a local roaster to "guide me." I found Stumptown. They had the tools and "know how" to help me out and made me a cup to demonstrate!
