I'm extremely disappointed with the customer service I experienced today, June 10th at 4:01 PM, at…read morethis coffee shop. I walked in and was patiently waiting before placing my order. An employee had just served the customer ahead of me, but when I stepped forward, he refused to take my order, stating that he wasn't accepting any more--even though door was open, lights were on and music was playing. When he saw me he turned off lights turned off music and looked at me as if he wanted me to get the point. though I had been waiting and it was literally 4:01. What made it worse was hearing him say that he doesn't get paid extra to work past 4:00, so he simply didn't care. His attitude was unprofessional and dismissive. I understand closing procedures, but customer service should never stop abruptly--especially while still serving others just moments before. This experience left a sour taste, not because of the coffee (which I didn't get to try), but because of how unwelcome and disregarded I felt. I hope management addresses this behavior, because this is not how any business should treat paying customers.

Stumptown Coffee is an institution in the coffee world and has been around for a long time. You…read moremight've seen their product on shelves, beans/ground coffee that never "expire." I have to be honest, I had my doubts. As popular as they are, sometimes the early succeeding brands/institutions get success early and tend to not meet the current standard of excellence/modernity. Stumptown proved me wrong! I stopped by for a cup and asked for my typical cappuccino, and it was definitely one of the best I've had in the city. The texture was perfect; the espresso and steamed milk married each other beautifully into one homogeneous texture. The espresso had a distinct flavor, not shy - bold, savory, rich. It was the perfect size, and I hadn't had a cup like that in a while, though I've been searching. Really excellent job - and I can see why they're still successful. Keep it up Stumptown, you're awesome!

I made the trip here because I wanted to try the guava croissant, which was indeed excellent. It…read morewas more of a soft, bready style rather than a super flaky version. The guava jam was delicious and sweet. I also tried a standard latte, which was very good: nutty with some toasted marshmallow notes. There was a long line on a Saturday around 11, and tables were hard to come by, but if you get lucky you can snag one. It feels a bit crowded since the line forms between two rows of tables and customers also leave between two rows. So it's a nice place to sit for a while if you can, but maybe not the most comfortable environment to sit and work. It is a beautiful space, though.

My lover and I tried the hibiscus tea and turmeric latte with a lemon poppyseed muffin. Hibiscus tea is not as sharp, and is more perfume-y? I like it a lot, he added some of the honey syrup they had available. The turmeric latte is delicious and unique, comes with oatmilk (and without coffee but I get it with be good with a shot added). The music is not too loud, and the doors were propped open when we were sitting in for fresh air. I think there are not a lot of places to plug stuff in if that would be a problem for you. But it does seem like a cozy place to sit and read or do homework. Thanks you guys!

Would definitely come here to work if I ever needed to during the week (went recently and looks like they started clarifying no laptops on the weekend, tho).

Also, bonus points because everything is baked in-store and you can actually see the bakery setup. It just makes the whole experience feel cooler and more legit. I ordered the pistachio rose croissant and man... my mouth thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The inside was stuffed with this rich pistachio paste, and the top had pistachio pieces with a rose garnish. Just so good. I also tried the loomi babka. I've never had babka before, but it kind of tasted like a soft, slightly savory bread with a lemony twist. Super unique. I was in the city for 4 days, and the tahini date latte... WOW. SO good. The barista JB absolutely killed!!! I literally went back every single day just for that latte. It had a unique flavor, not too sweet, nice date & tahini flavor & super delicious. If I had the funds to order this every single day, I would! (but my wallet would cry.)

The cookie I was most excited for was the corn cookie and the chocolate chip also looked really good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the black & white cookie because for some reason I thought it was a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, but it was actually just a regular cookie with black and white chips lol. The cookies themselves were really solid though. Nice light crisp around the edges with a chewy center without being overly gooey or underbaked. Definitely on the thicker side too, which I liked. Next time I'll have to try one of their espresso drinks!
