besides intelligentsia (chi), blue bottle (sf) and stumptown (pdx) there are at least 5 local micro roasteries.
and many highend coffee places are even on par with sf regarding snootiness of the counter staff…

Ritual is pretty good. Other than that coffee in SF routinely over roasts and calls it flavor.

Hands down. They have a roastery in Brooklyn (Red Hook).

For the record, Blue Bottle also has a roastery and cafe in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and their beans can be found in Soho at a cafe called Caffeteria: http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/06/blue_bottle_beans_come_to_manh.html

Rumor has it Four Barrel will also be opening an outpost in New York some point in the future.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Name a coffee roaster in NY that’s better than Blue Bottle, Four Barrel, or De La Paz.

The quality isn’t even remotely close. Coffee in SF, Seattle, and Portland is far superior to anything in New York.

This is insulting. And NYC coffee generally tastes awful.

Last week I spotted Stumptown being served in Brooklyn also (‘Stumptown’ is Portland if you don’t know — when they first cut down the Oregon forest to make the city they left the stumps, or so they say).

The majority of SF coffee is burnt shit. I’m sure NYC coffee is better on average.
