Year is 1999, Location is Division Street in Portland Oregon.
The spot that started it all. Stumptown's flagship cafe opened on Division Street in 1999, replacing an old beauty parlor named Hair Bender. Stumptown-founder Duane Sorenson adopted the name for the signature espresso blend and the original sign still hangs in their Portland roastery.
Founder Duane Sorenson built the company by traveling directly to coffee-growing regions, forming long-term relationships with farmers, and paying well above commodity prices for exceptional beans. At a time when dark roasts and anonymity ruled American coffee, Stumptown stood out for transparency, quality, and a belief that where coffee comes from matters just as much as how it’s brewed.
