“Coffee is the milk of Chess players and thinkers.” - Turkish proverb
I’ve searched far and wide in Southeast Portland for the perfect shot of espresso. I think I nailed it down this morning when I stopped for a double shot at the original Stumptown Cafe on 45th and Division. It was delicious. In the past, I had leaned toward Pix Patisserie or Palio as my preferred venues, but Stumptown knocked them flat. It was only after I started writing this post that I discovered the hype about Stumptown. After sampling their goods, I can say with some certainty that it’s not all hype. That shot was tasty. I usually wimp out and add some sugar and half-and-half, but this shot rendered those items unncecessary. It was like liquid dark chocolate. I’ll be visiting them again…soon.

You want a primo cup of java, I suggest the AA meeting held over at St. Vincent’s hospital, Wednesday evenings at 7pm. And it’s free.
