I live in New York, home to some of the best food in the world. The same can be said about coffee too. There are so many great makers of coffee in this city that it's sometimes hard to keep up with them all.
Not too long ago, I discovered what has quickly become my favorite source for coffee in the city. While this may sound like a bit of a stretch, I mean it when I say that this could very well be the best cup of coffee in the entire city.
While Stumptown Coffee Roasters was formerly a coffee maker with a presence limited to the Pacific Northwest, the a personal move by the founder to the East coast has led to a New York presence.
It seems that everything on the menu may very well be great. I've heard others say this, and the theory has proved true thus far. The coffee is higher grade than anything you'll find at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts, and it's hard for me to go back to those after trying Stumptown's roast.
Interestingly enough, the prices aren't much higher than those that you'd find at a Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. This is a great thing when you consider the difference in the quality of the beans. One negative is the fact that they only accept cash, though I don't know if that's specific to the location I've been to.
Amazingly, Stumptown Coffee Roasters almost has a cult-like following. Those who've tried it swear by the brand and refuse to drink any other kind of coffee.
I've seen people on both the East coast and the West coast claiming that Stumptown brews the best coffee they've ever had. It's rare to find a brand that wins such universal acclaim, especially in coffee cities like Seattle.
If you have a Stumptown near you, consider yourself lucky and try it out. If you don't, hope that the chain expands, and take advantage of any traveling opportunity you may get and try it out.
