Noah W.Noah Weiss: Stumptown spent $1m to build this flagship store, only its 8th in the country. Check out the brew bar where you can choose your choice of AeroPress, Bee House, Chemex, French press, siphon and V60. Read more.

Ariel V.Ariel Viera: Try the Black Sesame Cake, it's like a folkier version of a chocolate cake. Also the Nitro Cold Brew from the back is delicious.

Lori L.Lori Luo: A spacious, modern coffee shop with a decent number of tables and seats for guests. Get the excellent cold brew, or one of their lattes or macchiatos.

apareekapareek: Very nice coffee! I liked the Stumptown coffee chocolate as well. Didn't like the seating inside Ace hotel, partly because I prefer coffee shops that are well lit and good to sit down and work/study.

Amy J.Amy Johnson Cook: Great staff and coffee is everything you'd expect from Stumptown. Happy to have a little bit of PNW in NYC with the new cold brew milk cartons as well.
