Stumptown :: Brew House

In Shio's continued quest to check out all nearby coffee specialty houses, we went to the new Stumptown location in the West Village. 

 

For those who have not been to this new space, it is absolute gorgeous. More importantly, coffee lovers have to venture to the back of the store, where the secret Brew Bar is located. 

At the Brew Bar, you can pick from a long list of available coffee beans, and have it brewed to your liking: Chemex, Aeropress, vacuum -- you name it and they will have it.

We picked up a bag of the Guatemala Bella Vista after having a cup brewed for us via the Chemex.

Yummy.

Sweetleaf

 I have been meaning to try Sweetleaf for a while, but never really got the chance to. Luckily, we were able to make it there today with the pack.

We tried the iced coffee (regular and Vietnamese), as well as the Strawberry Iced Tea -- all were very good. 

It was a little bit hot for the pups, but a nice man from inside brought the puppies some water. 

We look forward to going back there -- the coffee was really great.

Brunch with Nami

We revisited one of our previously-featured brunch locations with Nami. 

A lot of people were amazed as to how well-behaved the three shibas were.

Tuna Dinner

Saw some sashimi grade tuna chucks on sale, so we got them for Shio and Emi. 

Lucky them!

Do Shibas Shed?

No. They do not.​

They. Blow. Coat.​
