Café

Stumptown Coffee

We are proud to serve our patrons various coffees from Stumptown Coffee Roasters; we typically serve Stumptown’s Hair Bender as our primary espresso, along with their mountain water processed Decaf House, and utilize their organic, direct trade Holler Mountain Blend as our house drip — although this may change or rotate based upon availability and seasons.  We also keep a selection of these and other varietal whole bean coffees for resale in the café, so that you can be your own barista at home!

Besides offering the best quality coffees, we love representing Stumptown due to their incredible commitment to all aspects of the coffee industry: from the satisfied consumer, to the coffee bean producer, Stumptown is known for their amazing work in developing and expanding both the education of the industry, as well as the customer’s palate.  Specifically, Stumptown assists the Q Café by helping to train and educate our entire staff (at no cost to us), to ensure that we are articulate and capable of representing the energy and resources they’ve put into providing the best coffee possible.  We’re thrilled to be able to partner with Stumptown for these reasons, and many more!

Another reason why Stumptown is so great is the care and attention they pay to the lives and experiences of the coffee producers.  Check out the following video of Stumptown’s recent sourcing trip to Columbia, and learn more about the people who’s livelihood and craft make for your next delicious cup of coffee:

 

Montana Tea & Spice

In addition to coffee, we serve a rotating assortment of loose-leaf teas sourced directly from the fine folks at Montana Tea and Spice Trading, located in Missoula Montana. We’re now sourcing our loose-leaf black, green, white and herbal teas directly from the people who’ve been making these teas for decades — and it’s evident in both the quality and flavor of these teas. Although the selection rotates, you can typically find the following teas here at the Q:

  • Vanilla, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, & Cylon Kenilworth (black teas)
  • Vanilla Bush (rooibos herbal)
