coffee scene in Portland among other things

I just came back from a short road trip up the 1 and 101 through CA and Oregon to Portland. The city itself is amazing and the people were wonderful and I’m overall short for words on how beautiful Downtown Portland is. Let me just start by saying that this place is a coffee utopia. No need to ask where can I find a good cup of coffee cause the majority of places I visited did a fantastik job. I saw La Marzocco and Synesso machines and a bunch of Super Jolly grinders even the places I didn’t go into. Here is a list of the shops I walked into:

Stumptown in the Ace Hotel, CoffeeHouse Northwest, World Cup Coffee, Stretto Cafe, Portland Coffee House, Coffee People, Stumptown on 3rd Avenue, and Extracto, Coffee Time.

A big shout out to Johnny from Stumptown, Charlotte, Billy, Weston and the rest of Coffeehouse Northwest serving Hair Bender elixir.

In general, DT Portland is one of my favorite cities in the US. The drive up the coast was breathtaking and even though it rained a lot, there are so many little towns along the way that are worth pit stopping. The environment is so green and the streets are shiny during the nightlife due to rain in Portland. People are kind and very considerate. There is a lot to see like the Japanese Gardens, China Town, the Hawthorne district. The biggest park in the US. and the smallest. My favorite structure is the Steel Bridge that lead to the Rose Garden. I have very few to say that is bad about this coffee utopia. I can’t wait to go back and make my way to Seattle as well.

Pictures up soon. -eddie
