Foot Model Who Married Doorman Sues Co-op Over Harsh Treatment
It's been two weeks now since Portland coffee mecca Stumptown opened its first local shop inside the Ace Hotel. And while the third wave coffeeshop is generally known for its beans, it seems to be the baristas getting all the attention. Last week's Times review noted one having "the bone structure of a male model" and said the staff looking so cool they probably "skateboard to work." Now Eater finds reactions from those complaining about "horrible attitude, great coffee" to one who is excited to be served by a "sexypants with the floor plans for tattoos." Have you been there yet?

I find a bit of comfort in the surly barista...I mean after all not too many of us are that pleasant before we have had our morning coffee...the attitudes match.
This post really made me want to check it out...and I prefer Gorilla over Stumptown any day.
I passed by on Tuesday, and stopped in for a coffee. It was one of the best coffee's I've ever had, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, sitting in the lobby of the Ace. My barista was a cute young guy, perfectly pleasant without being an ass-kisser. Will drop in every time I'm in that neighborhood for the coffee, and nothing else. I don't care if they have attitude or look good, sorry.
A stumptown barista gave me a hard time for rolling my eyes when she asked me how I was doing at 7:30 am on a Monday morning. It's 7:30 on a Monday morning and I need coffee, how chipper can I be?
