Pretty sure 9th St. is 100% Stumptown. I know they opened a 'outlet' on 10th St, but didn't realize they had expanded to VA....

I usually go to Orens on my way to school (Waverly location) and get a cup of coffee there. I dont know what blend they use for the drip coffee, but i dont find it to be overly impressive. It is far better than Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks... but still not amazing. I consider it to be an alternative to Mud truck and that kind of thing. But like i said, Oren's probably does not use the premier beans or blends in the drip coffee that they sell.

agreed that orens is way over hyped. there is nothing special about it.

and i dont get the fascination with stupid "gourmet" trucks. mud truck coffee tastes pretty much like mud.

this man got it right. in that order.

simon sips is on first and houston - they use counter culture and they have the best cuppicino im my opinion

9th street is intelligentsia and is really good as well but i find the above slightly better

abracio uses counter culture im pretty sure and they are really good as well but i find the above to slightly better


as for readily available coffee beans...the above get shipments in pretty regularly from well known roasters but stumptown just opened up a roasting facility in redhook, brooklyn.
