It’s been three years since our group last visited this Sisters shop, and we’re glad to report that it looks like there’s been no slippage in its health and well-being.  We’ve loved what its second floor brings in terms of various sitting ambiances – it’s probably the first shop we’ve visited (back in 2012) to offer this amenity – as well as the big windows, exposed piping, Central Oregon touches, and soft chairs by the fireplace. 

With a May primary on the radar, we talked about: favorite candidates for various City, County and Metro races;  how Portland hasn’t had an effective mayor for quite a while;  and how the dark roast preferences of the two coffee drinkers in today’s  quartet, were at odds with the lighter roasts being offered by most artisan micro-roasters in this “third wave of Portland coffee.”
