Stumptown makes great coffee, but I still think that Vivace in Seattle makes the best espresso stateside. Every time I go to Seattle, I fill up. The style is very similar, but for whatever reason, I have found Vivace to be that much better. The quality of coffee roasters in this corner of the country is amazing. Congrats to Stumptown, see you in NYC.
please do more stories on other local roasters.
thanks,
