Stumptown has such an inclusive atmosphere with rainbow flags galore. But this is NYC so somewhat expected. The coffee is done well here and you can go for either the hot or cold brew. There are limited seats outside but if you get one it is good people watching.

Cappuccino is fine. But the Pain au chocolat served with staffs hair and it doesnt worth the price $4,something. ive been here at 7am (30min after opening time) but the pain is very cold like never warmed.

A wonderfully designed coffee shop where you can feel how much love and expertise has gone into every single cup. They aim to create unique coffee experiences by providing distinct flavors and aromas, as well as placing a big focus on transparency on the journey of their beans. I so loved this place so much! I will be recommending this place to all people who are coffee lovers.

This coffee shop has a wide variety of coffees to choose from. All of their coffee and other foods were in good presentation and very affordable. All of their staff also were very accommodating and knows exactly what to do. Id really had a great time visiting this coffee shop. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and workmates.

Not bad but customer service could be better. No greetings nor acknowledgement from the Baristas When I entered the room. They were busy talking to each other about canceling someone, or something. The cappuccino was more similar to a machiatto than a cappuccino; too foamy and light, fairly small for a cappuccino.I wouldn’t recommend it, you should visit Kona coffee a couple blocks east. Better; tastier.

I love this location-Gigi is the sweetest and most pleasant barista ever! When I stop in for my morning coffee she always starts my day off on the right foot. So full of cheer, joy, and amazing coffee! Be sure to stop by and see Gigi when you come 🤗.

Nice coffee place with a seating area outside. They are best known for their nitro cold brew. From my coffee loving friends their coffee got a 8 out of ten. The place is usually pretty busy and the restrooms were not clean during our latest visit. All and all is a good option for coffee near Washington Square Park

Good coffee, good vibes! They didnt have oat milk (my go-to) that afternoon so I got my latte with soy instead. It tasted good - the espresso seemed like a medium roast. The staff was very friendly, especially the barista - always greets you with a smile :)They have free wifi, a restroom and limited seating inside with a few chairs outside. Would recommend!

Strong and delicious Cold Brew. After a long day of being a tourist in NYC, we stopped in Stumptown Coffee Roasters for a late afternoon fix. We were just walking by on our way back to where I was staying. It was calling my name, and I couldnt resist. I didnt want to resist :-)Its located very close to Washington Square Park and NYU. I have a feeling most people stumble across this location while walking to their destinations. Lots of seating inside, and it doesnt look like a location where there are a whole lot of students hanging out. Restrooms available too.

Just a bad experience here. I didn’t feel very welcome here and the barista was very short and visibly irritated that someone walked into her store. Won’t be returning.

Review №19

The coffee is amazing, nothing but respect here, but the location is so busy. Although its a roomy shop, the seating is very limited. If you wanna chill or work with your laptop, this is not the place but if you want to just have a good cup of coffee, this is definitely THE place!

Review №22

Staff had terrible attitudes to us, coffee wasn’t bad!We asked them to lower music because it was loud heavy metal, not what you expect in a coffee shop. Staff was sarcastic to my wife and when she turned around started talking openly my to each other about their right to play whatever music they wanted whenever they wanted, even if it ticks customers off.Apparently, this is not the first time it has happens because there are many other similar reviews.I definitely won’t be coming back here, not will I recommend this place to anyone!!!

Review №23

They really take pride in their espresso roast here and the staff is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. It’s also a GREAT place to do work although a table is no guarantee; you might have to wait for a bit. My almond milk cappuccino was very acidic at the end which wasn’t expected but I could still tell the bean was high quality. Their larger lattés they put in a tall glass cup which looks really really cool. Would definitely go again.

Review №24

One of the most beautiful cafes Ive never been to. The atmosphere is very cosy and quiet, there are small round tables to read (magazines are available), chat or work a while and a large study table with plugs.The coffee is brutal, be it filter or espreso, lattes (there is vegan milk) or tea.There is a small selection of sweets available and a fridge with takeaway munchies such as hummus and guac.You can buy packaged coffee, (they grind it there if you wish).The only downside that would put is that they only grind to drip coffee despite the fact that there are brewers and filters of all kinds on their website (Aeropress, v60 ..) but overall was a 10/10 experience every time I went there.

I like what I ordered, Americano and sweet & salt granola bar (gluten free), it taste like chewing breakfast bar.The shop is beautiful, is a comfortable place to stop by and have a nice coffee break.

Review №29

Best flat whites Ive had in the city. The baristas steam the milk perfectly and the roast of the beans makes it almost chocolatey. Youd be hard-pressed to find a seat, though, when things eventually open up!

Review №30

Sour coffee - local flavour. Ive ordered a regular espresso. It was tasting pretty sour. They told me that their own roastary / beans have a taste of blood orange which basically is pretty sour. So they offered me a free macchiato. The taste with milk was definitely more fitting my taste. Personal very nice. Maybe I am just used to other tastings. Would recommend this coffee house anyways but ask in advance which taste to expect ;)

Top 3 coffee places in nyc :)Love the ambience. It’s always fully packed but when you are lucky enough to get a seat, it’s a nice place to hang around. It feels like a serious brew house X library X apothecary. 😊

Stumptown always delivers on great coffee. I loved the decor in this location. I went on a Saturday morning and it was packed, but I imagine that there would be more open seats early in the morning or later on a weekday.

I have come here dozens of times in the last 4 years and have run into celebrities, cuties, homies and NYU studie...ents.I adore the vibe -- open, high ceilings, industrial chic greys and browns, a lot of light, and strong a$$ wifi.The coffee is reliably good and the staff is cool, accommodating and kind. Shout out to them effortlessly re-doing orders if there has been a mistake.My two improvements would be to add better pastries and snacks since they fall flat compared to the great coffee, and add a few more seats since those can be hard to come by.Otherwise, I love this place.

Review №61

I came looking for a barista style coffee, as I found many articles about this place where coffee looks like a drink prep. It looks great and coffee beans are good, but nothing great. I asked if I could get a Hario V60 drip and received a stare back... I then asked if there was any other method (Clever dripper, Chemex...) And again a stare. It is a chic grabngo coffee place, where you have maybe 15 seconds to answer what you want and youll probably drink at the counter. if you are looking for anything different than that, I would not recommend it at all.

Love the coffee and the focus on sustainability! They offer a discount for bringing your own mug or using one of theirs! Best part is, they actually clearly state that they have this discount available (many coffee shops with a similar program dont advertise it)

Review №64

I managed to snag a seat here for the first time in my three years at NYU, and it was such a cozy experience. The classic decor is beautiful and makes you feel like you’re sipping coffee in an old,polished library. My girlfriend loved the hot chocolate. I thought the coffee was just so-so, but I wasn’t specific about which blend I wanted, so it probably just wasn’t to my taste. Great spot for studying, if you don’t mind fending off the people jostling for tables around you.

Out of all the smaller chain and boutique coffee shops in this part of Manhattan, Stumptown is my favorite in terms of coffee taste. Their espresso is fantastic. They also have great rotating espresso drinks like a delicious rum raisin latte. Small space with few tables, but thats ok for me.

This place is so cool. Its so cool, and hip and cool. Coffee is tasty too. Interior is so nice, lots of space especially for this area. Smells of coffee, the counter is solid wood, the tables are wood and metal, everything is pretty. Man this place is cool. And theres a sliver of outdoor seating - just secluded enough, just public enough. Man this place is cool...

Review №68

Love this spot. It was an instant good omen when they were playing the entire Thank U, Next album as I walked in (not kidding). The wifi was great, a good amount of seating where you shouldnt have to wait long to get a spot, indoor and outdoor, with standing space at the bar to work at. Finally, the original cold brew was fantastic, best Ive had so far in NYC. A great area too.

Of all the third wave coffee shops, my favorite is Stumptown. This location in particular is at a beautiful, culturally significant site. If youre into Jack Kerouac, youll have an opportunity to step into a place he frequented.The roasts are delicious and there are plenty of options for dairy-free and non-coffee drinkers.The space is cozy but not tight and they stock magazines.

This place didnt become one of the most well spoken about coffee shops in NYC for no reason. Delicious and well brewed. I tried their honey peppercorn latte the first time I went and it had a little kick to it to hit me right back and lift me up. Very happy and pleased that I came here!

Not enough glory can be bestowed on one of Portland’s finest. Huge fan since they hit NYC back when the Ace hotel opened up! The finest and bold cold brew on he planet mixed with an incredible pastry program. Order a magpie or something from Roberta’s bakery! The winter cheer when in season is a do not miss

Decent atmosphere and nice setup - and coffee is okay - but the staff need to smile and engage a little more with their customers. Just a nice word or eye contact goes a long way ... I would have thought this was customer service training 101 by now in the year 2019!!

I went here this morning and ordered a medium coffee and split a muffin with my friend. The muffin had corn flakes on the outside, which was surprisingly refreshing. The coffee was delicious, and not ridiculously priced. I believe I ended up paying ~3 dollars for the coffee, and it was worth every penny. We got a table because everything was very spacious. If I am ever in the area, I will stop by again for sure. I have no complaints.

Coffee and services is top notch just the layout lends itself to a bit of confusion. Waiting area is mixed with customers just standing and chatting. The flow is just a bit off.

One of my favorite coffee shops! Especially if you like cold brew or chai tea!The hard wood and brass make the room feel bright and inviting. There are always college students and young professionals conducting business so seating may be limited depending on time. But there is out door seating.

I espresso I ordered was okay. However the procedure of making it was quite surprising to me. But then most coffee places are a disappointment when it comes to making espresso. The staff was very nice and the coffee was served in a glass cup (coffee patrons would understand) so I give a 4 star

Review №96

Edit: Apparently they’ve added standing space along the bar. An extra star for you, Stumptown. Original Review: Love this place and their coffee but have only once found a space for myself (and it was outside) and end up seeking out another shop for my coffee fix. I don’t begrudge people who are there to work or write or use their laptops because that’s half of what what a coffee shop is for, but I think Stumptown needs to figure out a standing table section or a standing-along-the-wall sorta thing in addition to most of the tables and chairs they have. It might mean that they have to move the merchandise to the left of the door or put the standing area in an awkward space but I can see how it might be done effectively. Mr. / Ms. Manager, feel free to hit me up if you need help with this, I’ve got plenty of ideas lol

I saw many 5 stars raving reviews of this place. So I tried it out.Coffee beans: EthiopianRoast: between medium and darkType of coffee: cappuccino (1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk)First look: beautiful latte art and perfect amount of foam for cappuccinoFirst sip: I love the first sip of cappuccino. I was expecting a bold med/dark roast flavor with hint of mysterious berries. Instead, I tasted a hint of over roasted beans mellowed out by milk and foam. I couldnt believe my taste buds so I tried my second sip. The result was the same, the taste of burnt beans, a hint of Starbucks coffee.Overall, I enjoyed my cup of coffee because the amount of milk and foams and the temperature of the milk were perfect. It is a rare commodity even in NYC to find a professional Battista like this.I will definitely come again.

Its connected to the lobby area at the Ace Hotel. You can order to stay and find a nice comfortable couch to lounge within the lobby area.Theres going to be a line pretty much anytime during the day, but it does move pretty quickly.Mocha is excellent as its tremendously smooth without being overly sweet.Cold brew on nitro is perfect for the summer season!

Its clear that these guys know what theyre doing - every last tiny detail, from the careful selection of pastries from extremely high-end yet relatively uncommonly-used local bakeries, to the small gilded letters that wish you good luck underneath every cup, implies a level of experience and competence that is very rarely seen in New York, even amongst the best of the espresso places out there. These guys just get it, and it shows.My picks would be the latte (served in a large tumbler if requested) and Magpie hand pies if available. Try to get there early to secure a seat as frequent visitors tend to hang around for a while.
