"I visited Stumptown coffee roasters and while the building itself is truly iconic, the experience inside sadly didn’t live up to the charm of its exterior. Once you learn about the building’s history, it feels almost heartbreaking to see such a legendary space turned into a very ordinary coffee shop. The interior feels unfinished — minimal, but not in a thoughtful or intentional way. It lacks warmth, atmosphere, and any sense of character that the space truly deserves. Sitting there, I couldn’t help but imagine how much better it would serve as a boutique wine bar or a classy fine dining spot — something that honors the building’s story. As for the coffee, I ordered a cappuccino, which arrived slightly cold and tasted just average — no better or worse than any other coffee shop in the city. Would I return for coffee? Honestly, probably not. It’s one of those places that looks great from the outside — the kind you might snap a quick Instagram Story of on a rainy autumn day — but once inside, it just doesn’t offer much beyond that."

"***Check out the Bathroom Peeper Hole. You won’t be disappointed*** Delicious coffee, amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been in. They even have free water and sparking seltzers on tap. Definitely give this place a visit."

"OLD WORLD CHARM COFFEE ESTABLISHMENT ☕️ If Stanley Kubrick had a coffee shop it would look like this. It’s dark, cozy and nicely laid out. The atmosphere has some deco old world vibes and it’s a great place to relax with a cup of coffee. The line can get long on a busy morning but once you have your coffee in hand, all is well. Delightful place on Pacific. Good pastries 🥐 Great coffee ☕️ Highly Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Enchanting coffee shop. Beautiful ambiance. I came here yesterday while I was visiting the area, searching for coffee- something distinct, a little fun, curious. Most coffee spots I looked up in the vicinity seemed to blend into one another, except Stumptown, so I decided to give it a try. The store was really stunning upon walking inside, resembling a train station from the 19th century. The vibe was warm, welcoming but quaint and peaceful. Nothing is feeling rushed. The decor was absolutely beautiful, even their merch looked upscale and high end, and something special to Stumptown. There was even a small area to peruse little coffee and espresso gadgets: bialetti, aeropress, etc. which I haven’t seen too frequently before. Menu states all drinks are made with oat milk unless stated otherwise. I ordered the seasonal sugar & spice latte (iced) which was delicious, creamy, but hits you with an impactful amount of nutmeg. Never tried anything like it before. Caffe mocha tasted a bit just like mocha, however still tasty. For food, I ordered a cheddar and chive scone, an almond croissant, and a ham and Gruyère croissant. The cheddar and chive scone was dense and moist. There was a soft crunch on the exterior and pillowy interior, and it was a sizable scone. It was mild; not too salty nor overpowering. The ham and Gruyère croissant had sesame seeds on the outside which was a nice touch. Upon taking a bite, this croissant blew me away! There’s a million layers that are perfectly buttery, and plenty of ham and Gruyère (both which seem high in quality, and sliced very thickly) swirled through the core. The almond croissant was another visual stunner, another excellent choice. Delicate and crisp with a smooth and creamy almond flavor. All of the croissants in the window looked divine! I had only wished their variety for drinks, like flavors, toppings, etc. was more clear in their menu. As someone who’s not very familiar with coffee culture it felt a little bit unapproachable. However, the staff was very kind and pleasant and I’m sure could answer any questions one might have! If I lived in the area, I’d be back to try more. If I find myself in downtown Brooklyn again, I will absolutely return. A nice experience! I think whether you’re looking for a casual, quick coffee, or if you’re very into coffee culture and that’s your hobby, this is a spot you will enjoy. Wonderful spot for dates, as well."

"Strong ristretto espresso with fruity and earthy tones with more lingering flavor (so slightly higher quality beans even for a more mid-range price). Atmosphere was amazing with ample space and standing tables, giving a more authentic European coffeeshop vibe. Highly recommended if you want to find a new casual coffeeshop to try."
