Stumptown Coffee Roasters Is Coming To DTLA, Fo Realz

As if we needed further evidence that the Arts District is the place to be in L.A., Stumptown roasters from Portland has officially set up shop in the neighborhood. Their new facility will be located on Sante Fe Street and 7th Place, just steps from the oh-so-hot right now Bestia and Bread Lounge.
Granted this new opening will give the nearby Handsome Roasters and Urth Cafe a little bit of competition, but there's something for everyone. And this means more jobs in DTLA, which is a great thing for aspiring baristas.
Says Eater L.A.:
They've already posted job listings on their site, everything from lead roaster to baristas. The building itself is pretty expansive, overlooking most of Sante Fe with potentially large windows looking out...Stumptown's new location already has a roaster in place based on a peek inside, though contractors are still building out most of the interior. It might still be months before the roastery and cafe are ready to open, but it's just one more reason for coffee fanatics in L.A. to get excited.
Consider us giddy. We can't wait for a batch of their cold brew.
