Uptight Seattleite: The Portlanders are coming!
Posted by TheShot on 13 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Café Society, Foreign Brew, Starbucks
As Stumptown Coffee Roasters plans to invade Seattle, today’s Seattle Weekly published an amusing letter of distress from a reader concerned about the coming potential clash of Northwest espresso cultures: Uptight Seattleite: Why This Unfair Prejudice Against Skateboarders? (Seattle Weekly).
The writer also categorizes the local shot pullers in two distinct families:
- The Starbucks family, which includes Starbucks itself and its clones, Tully’s and Peet’s: “We despise them like we despise Microsoft, but will use them in a pinch.”
- The V’s: Vivace (the original V), Vita, and Victrola: “They’re known for their microroasts, their funky ambience, and the rosette thing they do with the foam.”
Can I get this on pay-per-view?
