#Stumptown Coffee

Alfred Coffee, 55 W Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101

I’ve had some mixed experiences at Alfred Coffee but they recently opened in Old Town Pasadena, so I decided to give them another try. The coffee they serve is roasted for them in LA by Stumptown. You can buy bags of Alfred Coffee branded coffee beans. The pastries (cookies, croissants, muffins, scones, cake), yogurt parfaits, pre-made sandwiches, and bagels are from Farmshop LA (so you know they’re good). You can build your own bagel or choose one of their signature bagels.

The Greenie bagel ($8): Jalapeno cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, chives, capers, olive oil on an asiago bagel. A smallish bagel with a good chew. I couldn’t taste the jalapeno but maybe that’s because the capers were so strong.

Flat white ($4.75): Surprised there wasn’t any foam art but there was a good espresso to milk ratio, not too bitter

The shop is small with some indoor seating and small tables outside in Miller Alley. It’s got stylish touches like the wood floor, plants, copper counter, wallpaper, and stained glass that says But First Coffee.

I hate when the expensive stuff is actually worth it , smh.

#I bought yummy stumptown coffee grinds but it was like $16 and the bag will last maybe another week or so #so now I have to decide if I want to buy this again even though it’s small and pricey #or stick with regular Folgers that’s ‘’meh’’ but will last me past the new year

ok now i’m in desperate desperate need of modern au everlark fics caroline can u spare any recommendations ………. dear god the concepts. the characters. it’s haunting me

ok MOOD and also the fact that i literally sat there watching the latest sims 4 expansion pack trailer and then obsessively reading the release notes and immediately being like “reminds of the hunger games!” like. peak caroline moment right there… (and then proceeded to share that insane line of thinking with YOU! my mind…)

wrt to modern hunger games aus…. honestly i don’t read a ton of them because as we know my truest and deepest everlark fanfic obsession are canon aus because IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWAY and i get emo just thinking about Them but ok let me see

this one is probs my fav. it’s actually a coffee shop au which is !!rare!! for me because i usually don’t enjoy coffee shop aus and i usually don’t seek out modern au hunger games fanfics but somehow this one just hits! unfortunately it’s kind of winter themed so sorry to rec it literally in the middle of summer lol (honestly though that’s probs why i love it because my number one favorite thing in au fanfics is a winter theme. maybe that’s insane but don’t even get me started on the famous rogue one modern au christmas fake dating fic because it’s literally one of my all time favorite fanfics and it has absolutely nothing to do with the star wars universe. im serious it’s the winter theme… christmas fanfics are just unparalleled idc!!!!) (i say this as if it isn’t literally july tomorrow)

ok sorry that was quite a digression. but uhhh i don’t have a ton of thoughts bc like i said i don’t really read thg modern aus!! although tbt to the time i outlined an entire everlark modern college au fake dating story and then never wrote it because it felt gratuitous. maybe someday ill share the outline lol

#also fun fact apparently the fanfic is based on stumptown coffee #which my fav coffee!! #answered #angelnumbers

The opening of the 6th street bridge has caused so much commotion these past couple of days that people are driving insane and also trying to do viral photos and video. It’s been on and off that they closed the bridge down due to illegal activity. Hopefully they can make it safer so people don’t drive all stupid on this thing. From what I’ve seen there’s no speed limit on this bridge yet.

My husband decided to take a walk on the bridge for his birthday and we went to stumptown to grab some coffee. Bella really enjoyed her spinach croissant as you can tell lol. It was a nice walk but you can definitely see the tire makes from people doing donuts… yikes.

If you have any of Lyons Magnus’s beverages, do not drink them, as 53 different products have been recalled due to potential for bacterial contamination of Cronobacter sakazakii.

This applies to, but is not limited to - their Oatly Oat milk, Premiere Protein Shakes, Aloha plant-based protein shake, and Intelligentsia.

This applies mostly to their products distributed nationally in the U.S., with few internationally exported goods - ranging from those with november 2022 to august 2023 expiration dates.

For more details and specificity, I recommend checking the full list in July 29, 2022 FDA recall page of Lyon Magnus Drinks here

Valentine Sweets Organic Bakery & Café, 88 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105

I was sad when I heard that Vanilla Bake Shop closed and was replaced by Valentine Sweets. Valentine Sweets specializes in teacakes. In some ways, it reminds me of Vanilla Bake Shop. It’s still a bakery and still has cupcakes. They also kept the display cases, coffee equipment and still serve Stumptown Coffee. The interior doesn’t look that different from Vanilla.

Valentine Sweets is Armenian owned and everything they bake and serve is organic. They have teacakes, cupcakes, cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, croissants, eclairs, cheesecake, and pierogi. For drinks, they have espresso drinks, Armenian coffee, tea, date shakes, chai, milk tea, etc. There are Keto and gluten-fee options. The cupcakes and croissants are smaller than usual. The cupcakes didn’t look that appealing. I noticed the cupcakes were totally flat on top. Normally, they rise a little when they’re baked.

Matcha rose cupcake ($6): Small cupcake, not matcha cake but not sure what flavor the cake was – it was moist and not too sweet but didn’t have much flavor. There was a bit of rose flavored filling (cream? But it was more like pudding), a thick, smooth layer of matcha buttercream dusted with matcha powder, and a dried rosebud on top. The buttercream was dense and seemed cold (refrigerated?). It didn’t have much matcha flavor. The cupcake was decent but not as good as Vanilla’s or Dots.

The place is cute. They had a few non-food things for sale like candles and crochet teacakes (made in Armenia). Limited seating. It’s relatively expensive but also organic.

3 out of 5 stars

Honey, All I See Is You

Part Two

Jake x Reader

Find All Parts Here

Warnings: none

Two

It’s late afternoon and the sun has started to set as Jake drives down the dirt road. Flicking on the turn signal, he pulls into a long and winding driveway. When he reaches the cabin at the top of the hill, he cuts the engine and reaches over to grab his bag from Literary Labyrinth. Opening the door, he steps out of his truck and heads for the front door. Pulling out his keys and unlocking the front door, he turns the knob and steps inside. 

Shivering from the chill of the cabin, Jake sets his bag and keys on the table by the door and quickly makes his way over to the fireplace and gets a fire going. Ember catches the kindling, and he stands. Dusting off his jeans he makes his way to the kitchen. Flipping on the light, he walks over to his coffee machine and dumps the grounds left from this morning. Putting in a fresh filter, he grabs the bag of Stumptown Holler Mountain coffee ground and puts in two scoops before filling the water reservoir. Grabbing a mug from one of the cabinets, he sets it on the stand and hits the brew button.

Turning and leaning back against the counter, he pulls his phone out of his back pocket and pulls up instagram. Tapping the search bar, he types in Literary Labyrinth and presses the search button. Instantly, pictures of the shop pop up along with pictures of you. The corner of his mouth lifts slightly as he scrolls from the shop’s feed. Pictures of books, customers, and you flash across his screen. 

On one particular picture of you he stops scrolling. The picture is a candid shot of you sitting on the edge of the front display window with a cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other. The soft golden afternoon light cascades over you and you’re reading what he assumes is an interesting page. Your lips are parted, and your brow is furrowed slightly. You look completely at peace and in your own world. He’d never seen something or someone as beautiful as you look in the photo. 

Seeing the tagged icon, he taps it and sees your username. Tapping your name, your profile pops up. But, it’s set to private. Before he can think better of it, he sends a follow request. Sliding his phone into his back pocket, he turns just as the coffee machine goes off telling him his coffee is ready.

Across town, you’re closing up shop. Flipping the sign from open to closed and turning off the overhead lights, you hear your phone sound from across the room. With a curious tilt of your head, you walk to the back and around the counter where your phone sits on the top of your stool. Reaching down and picking it up, you tap the screen.

On it, you see a notification from instagram. “jaketkiszka has requested to follow you” it reads. A confused frown forms as you click it and your instagram takes you to the user’s profile. When it pulls up you see the account is private, but you recognize Jake in the profile picture. Your frown immediately turns into a grin as you accept the request and send one of your own. Setting the phone back down, you finish up closing. 

As you grab your coat, scarf and purse, your phone goes off with another notification. Quickly pulling on your coat, wrapping the scarf around your neck and throwing your purse onto your shoulder, you walk over and pick up your phone. The notification says that Jake has accepted your request. You smile as you stuff your phone into your coat pocket and turn to the counter grabbing the first book in the series Jake had suggested. Placing the book carefully in your purse, you head for the door.

After locking the door behind you, you hear the faint sound of your phone again. Dropping your keys into your purse, you pull out your phone and start walking home as you look down at the screen. A new dm from Jake waits for you to open in your inbox. You feel your heart flutter when you read the notification. Your cheeks heat and you shake your head trying to shake off the feeling. Opening the message, you see an old post of yours with a message attached. 

“I see you were in fact a Narnia nerd. You’ll definitely enjoy the series I told you about earlier.” It says.

Clicking the linked post, you see it’s one you’d posted last summer. You’d gone abroad and during the trip, you had stopped to stay in Oxford. During your stay, you'd gone and visited The Kilns. That day had been the first sunny day of your entire stay. With the sun shining down, you’d walked the grounds of the house taking in all the sights and sounds during your tour.

In the nature reserve just behind the house, you’d spotted an old stone bench. Sitting down on it, a breeze blew through and with it, a little bit of magic. At least that’s what you’d told yourself. You liked to imagine C.S Lewis had sat on the same spot and dreamt up Narnia and maybe a little bit of that magic had rubbed off on you. Spotting a fellow tourist, you’d asked them to take a picture of you sitting on the bench with the house in the background and had posted it with the caption, “Narnia is never so far away.” You smile at the memory.

You hurry the rest of the way home and as soon as you walk through the door, you grab the book from your bag and your phone from your coat pocket. Walking over to your wall of built in bookshelves, you hold up the book in front of it and snap a picture. You flop down into your reading chair, a velvet covered wingback, and with the book in your lap and phone in your hands you pull up your dm from Jake and send the picture with the words, “Just got home and getting ready to start reading it actually.”

With that, you hit send and you open the book and start to read.

“He raises his sword, ready to die for this. His belief that all beings deserve to be free, that all are deserving of a peaceful life, the right to defend and rule his kingdom. His heart pounds. The thundering sound of hooves, feet, paws running across the field fill his ears. The enemy draws ever closer. Gripping the hilt of his sword, he plants his feet awaiting the coming onslaught. The dark prince and his soldiers are a breath away. Inhaling, he fills his lungs and raises his sword above his head and starts running toward them. He lets out a mighty roar as the two sides collide…”

*Ding*

You nearly jump right out of your chair. The book goes flying. Your heart is racing a mile a minute. With panicked breath, you clutch your chest trying to calm yourself. Whipping your head around to the source of the sound, you see your phone screen lit with a new message. One hand still clutching your thundering heart, you reach over and pick up the phone.

It’s a message from Jake. “How’s the reading going?”, it says.

Letting out a breath you type back, “I had just gotten to the battle between Elaith and Katar! The two armies had just clashed together when you messaged me and nearly gave me a heart attack.”

A few seconds later he responds, “Ah! That battle changes the whole course of things. Get back to reading. Tell me your thoughts when you’re done.”

Not wasting another moment, you do just that.

Quite a while later, you read the last line of the book. Tears cascade down your face. Your chest aches. You cannot believe this is how it ends. Since when did evil prevail? Aren’t fantasies meant to have happy endings? Picking your phone up off the side table, you message Jake.

“How dare you.” You type.

“I see you finished the book.” He says back.

“I will never trust your recommendations again.” You say.

“You only picked up the first book and didn’t get the second, didn’t you?” He accurately accuses.

Heat reddens your cheeks, “Obviously! Even still! That is the worst ending I have ever read!”

“Being a bit dramatic are we?” He says.

“No! My faith in this author is shaken! In fact my faith in the whole of the fantasy genre is shaken! Fairytales are meant to have happy endings!” You quip.

“Ah, see that’s where you’re wrong. Not all fairytales have a happy ending. Disney is to blame for your misguided thought process.”

You scoff and say, “Oh okay, Mister Cynical. Excuse me for thinking that “fantasy” means it’s different from the real world. Including how it ends.”

“You’re excused. Now that you know better, you won’t be so disappointed when you read the next book.” He teases.

“Who says I’m reading the next book?” You question.

“Come on, you know you want to see Delimira take her revenge for the death of her lover.” He says.

With a sigh, you type back, “You know you could just tell me.”

“And lose the opportunity to keep talking to you? Nah, I think I’ll pass and let you find out for yourself.”

Your cheeks heat and your pulse quickens. Smiling to yourself, you reply, “Fine. I guess I’ll be buying the next book in the morning… And be giving you all my thoughts as I read it.”

“I’ll be waiting with bated breath.”

Youth has been gone

Having a solo showing at Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Cobble Hill BKLYN on Feb 24th

Come by

[laptopcamper]

Stumptown Coffee Roasters, 1982 Lincoln Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103, Score: 40/50

I didn’t realize that Stumptown closed their downtown (DTLA) location and probably shipped the roaster back to Portland. It’s nice to see that they’ve moved to the west side of Pasadena. It’s already a camping hot spot.

Score: 40/50

Food: 5/5 – There is no kitchen, so the food options are limited to pastries from Bread Lounge (croissants, Danish, muffins, kouign amann), Mush overnight oats, and fruit parfaits. Bread Lounge is an excellent local bakery. I enjoyed the pain au chocolat which had more chocolate than usual.

Coffee: 5/5 – For coffee, they have espresso drinks, drip coffee, cold brew, and pour over coffee. They also have Spirit Teas, hot chocolate, chai, and matcha. Espresso drinks feature double shots. Plant-based milk is not an extra charge. Milk options: Whole milk, skim milk, oat milk, almond milk. The cappuccino (6 oz, $5.25) featured excellent foam art and the flavor was stronger/bolder and less clean than your typical Portland espresso drink.

Wi-fi: 4/5 – Free, unlimited, no password required but you have to accept the terms and conditions before connecting

Ambiance: 5/5 – Modern, bright, stylish, like a hipster’s living room with art, plants, brick walls, and vinyl records

Noise: 4/5 – Music was loud but campers were quietly typing away

Plugs: 0/5 – Didn’t see any

Parking: 4/5 – Parking in the back, also easy to find in the neighborhood (though limited to 2 hours)

Comfort: 4/5 – New chairs, nothing was padded, smaller tables, some space between tables, lights are pretty bright

Bathroom: 4/5 – One nice gender neutral restroom

Art: 5/5 – Plenty

Tips: Ask for a drink stamp card. They also have an app that you can use to order ahead. And they sell Stumptown merch, coffee beans, and coffee brewing accessories.

Are there any canned coffee drinks you find acceptable? I can't always make it to a real coffee shop in the mornings and the coffee at work is work coffee (sludge)

Best advice I got for that is to look at what canned cold brews are available at your local grocery store. If youre in the US most will usually carry larger brands like Stumptown/la Colombe that Ive always thought were decent. Biggest thing is just gonna be trying a bunch and seeing what you like the most, admittedly I'm not a huge iced coffee person in general but canned cold brews have been life savers many times before.
