Portland coffee stops:Stumptown at the Ace Hotel

Carla and I bummed the couches in one of the rooms people from Verve were staying at. (Told you. We made this trip a cheap one!) Aside from the Ace Hotel being an awesome building with its antique architecture and vintage cabin-like feel, they have a Stumptown attached to the lobby. This is heaven: starting your day off with a great coffee by just walking downstairs while you're still in your jammies. The shot of Hairbender I had was the second best shot I had from our trip. On top of that, they use one of my favorite espresso machine, a La Marzocco Mistral. Although I have never actually worked on one, I just like the way the look because it reminds me of something futuristic like the Jetsons!
