It was a million degrees in Portland so we decided to jump into Barista for some much needed AC. A cabbie also said this was her favorite coffee shop so I decided to compare it to Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Verdict: all coffee tastes the same. Okay, not really, but all good coffee tastes pretty similar. Gas station and fast food coffee still tastes like water that’s been filtered through dirt and feet, but once you get to a certain level there’s not really a better or worse, just different.
