Getting to know a bit about Portland’s caffeinated culture
Portland is known for coffee, and rightly so. It fuels this town like nothing else. I personally think drivers are nicer here because they’re preoccupied and don’t want to spill.
You already know about Starbucks. We give directions here based on their numerous locations: “Go up to the Starbucks on Broadway, take a right and at the next Starbucks take a left and then it’s just two more Starbucks.”
But there are other great coffee stops in town, too. Here are two that are close to Hotel deLuxe:
1. Stumptown Coffee — The local roaster has a few places in town, and luckily one is not far from us on S.W. Stark. Maybe the best coffee in town.
2. World Cup Coffee & Tea — It’s a perfect spot to while away a rainy day, and is right near great shopping on N.W. 21st and 23rd.
All hail the bean!
