the art of stumptown

I've always been a believer in if your going to do something, do it to the best of your abilities.  (I actually learned this trait from my wife, I don't want to take credit where credit isn't due).  But we are seeing a trend here in Brooklyn where folks are making their own salsa, pickles and beer and doing it their own way.  Which brings me to Stumptown. I'm obsessed with their cappacino. The temperature is just right. I don't have to add anything.  It's perfect as is.  There are very few things this perfect these days.  The vibe at Cafe Pedlar (Our local Stumptown, which originated in Portland) is just right. (It was a rainy afternoon  and they were playing Cat Stevens which is not what you'd expect to hear in hipster Brooklyn).  The barista was from Portland and we talked about The Dandy Warhols and the similarities and differences between Brooklyn and Portland.  And that experience is what keeps me coming back.  Oh, and the best cappuccino I've had since Florence.
