Stumptown to open two cafes in New York City

August 13, 2008 by Dave 6 Comments

The crown jewel of Portland’s coffee roasters is opening cafes in Brooklyn and Manhattan soon.

There was speculation last year that Stumptown was looking to expand to NYC, but the plans hinged on finding a location to roast beans. It appears they have found a spot.

From yesterday’s New York Times:

Duane Sorenson, who owns Stumptown Coffee Roasters, based in Portland, Ore., packed up a U-Haul last month and moved to Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, just a short hop from the coffee roastery he will soon open in Red Hook.

Once his two 1950s-era Probat roasters are running, he plans to open a cafe there and another at 29th Street and Broadway, in the old Breslin Hotel, which is scheduled to be reborn as the Ace Hotel later this year.

    lucky NYC. A recent transplant to DC from PDX, I miss the unique stumptown roast and haven’t found anything that compares out east. Glad to know I won’t have to wait until trips home to score more hairbender.

    Exciting news! I wonder if any current Stumptown baristas are getting job offers in NYC?
