Din Johnson – Ristretto Roasters
A new category this year – roaster. You’ll find Best Coffeehouse here.
I was floored by these results. The relatively new Ristretto Roasters came out of nowhere to take first place, edging out Stumptown Coffee.

I voted for Courier, but Ristretto is really excellent as well.
Stumptown is perhaps most notable for maintaining high quality at a much larger scale than all of the other roasters listed.
Ever so perceptive, we citizens of Portland OR.
I voted for Coava…..new kid on the block with new digs. Both my two favorites.

Drink it every day – get it at New Seasons
Yeah Din! Yeah @NancyRomm! A much deserved nod to @RistrettoRoast. My favorite is their tiny spot in Beaumont..
FYI, Ristretto is actually one of the older of the new-crop roasters in town. They’ve been in the game since 2005, longer than any of the other roasters except for Stumptown who placed highly in the survey. In my view, Ristretto’s entry as a small roaster into the coffee scene in the mid-2000s actually helped pave the way for the rest of the crew nominated here. Kudos to all of them.
