As a barista from Seattle, the few times I do come down to Portland I make a trip to Stumptown to fill my caffeine cravings. It's unfortunate to always see Starbucks as an audience pick when there are other independents who do a better job of coffee - support your local businesses and local baristas...they're the ones that really care about what they do.
Pros: Inexpensive, Local, Great atmosphere
