Best Coffee on Franklin?

An abundance of choice, but which shop actually has the best coffee? Im feeling the BRC from FORTE, what about you?

Comments

  • I would have to say Little Zelda, followed by Breukelen Coffee. But thats just me. I'm a sucker for that Toby's Estate..
  • Lazy Ibis. If you can get a seat.
  • Any of these place use La Colombe?
  • A friend and I tried Breukelen, myself getting a coffee, my friend getting expresso, both of us weren't really feeling it, I would also like to know if any places use La Colombe.
  • Also have had iffy experience with Breukelen's coffee. Not sure where the beans come from or the roaster, but the coffee is too strong for my taste. I can feel the hair on my chest growing;)
  • I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I like a really strong cup of light roasted coffee. The lazy ibis coffee I've tried a couple times has always seemed to be darker than I like. It's nice and strong, though!
  • Little Zelda, then lazy ibis.
  • I've had many good lattes from P&B.
  • I got an iced coffee from Lazy Ibis once. It was UN-drinkable. Horrible. I did my usual fixer, which is just more milk and sugar and still....blech. 

    I made the mistake of actually asking him for something else. The owner was completely offended- he "roasted the beans himself!" I don't care if he curls up with them in bed at night, it was awful! 
    He wouldn't take it back. Said since I drank from it, it was a done deal.

    Won't ever return, which kinda sucks because his sandwiches are pretty good.  

    I go to Breukelen- but I do notice the different roasts on different days. But, it still tastes good, and it gets me movin'.
  • Breukelen gets my vote for quality and cost.
  • Just off Franklin, but Parlor Coffee at Berg'n has been spot on lately. 
  • Also have had iffy experience with Breukelen's coffee. Not sure where the beans come from or the roaster, but the coffee is too strong for my taste. I can feel the hair on my chest growing;)

    Stumptown's most popular coffee is, in fact, named Hairbender.
