Sticking with trying all of the closest Stumptown's, our next stop was at the cafe on Belmont St. Just a quick jaunt up from the one on Division, this one was a tad smaller than the other. The building is, as you would guess, typical Stumptown. Exposed brick, a mix of different chairs and tables, original artwork gracing the walls, and killer light fixtures. When we came in it was fairly quiet. As per our usual we ordered two cappuccinos and grabbed a table. Sadly, mine ended up being a tad bitter on the first sip or two. Again, this doesn't seem like the norm at the shops downtown, and I really hope I just hit a couple of off days in the two cafes. "He" said his was good which I never know if that is code word for "passable" or if he truly likes it. I wouldn't have been surprised if his was better than mine, however. The man is full of dumb luck and if ever there is a chance for him to get something better, well then he's the one who is going to get it. That's just how it is. I'm still waiting for that to wear off onto me. A girl has to dream!
We'll visit this one again and possibly do another review. In the meantime we'll just keep picking up Stumptown beans and brewing our own at home.
