Grumptown.. Ugh, I don't even go to this one anymore... The coffee is SOOOO good, but in this era of job scarcity, it never ceases to amaze when customer service suffers so needlessly. I now frequent the one on Division, as the folks are much more amiable...…
unhappy with your job?. went in recently...horrid service...the couple in front of me we're gifted a smile and great service, but the girl working the counter must have just reached her sweetness quota. I was lucky enough to get the stare glare sigh treatment...i held it together reminding myself of the joys of working in this industry. Maybe she was having a unsavory day....but seriously, knock it off! Just wanna get my jazz on without the gripe. Tasty coffee makes it almost worth it.…
Best espresso ever to grace this earth. If the heavens were to open up and spew forth espresso, Hairbender would be it. This stuff is the nectar of the gods. The staff are "entertaining"...
Go for the coffee, not the people.. Although the coffee is awesome, the experience you'll get from the service may leave you with a confusingly bad taste in your mouth... "Hmm, good coffee, but I don't like the way I'm treated each time. Should I keep coming back?". If you have a thick skin, ignore them and focus on your cup o' joy instead. Don't expect to be coddled, they're way too busy. Thankfully, they finally installed a credit card machine to attract more business. Late in the day, you're more likely to grab a window seat for some interesting people watching. The art is always entertaining as well.…
fire the french guy. I can't explain what it feels like to get verbally smacked in the face by a barista who is French and has no business being rude to Portlanders who invented Stumptown and he, just visiting, working as a waiter/barista, turned me off the place I had been going to for a year, please fire him or tell him to go and wash dishes. The coffee has always been good, the service often great, especially the girls, but the guys are mostly, 60% rude, condescending and "too cool" for life...…
