Billed as the first Hub spot to brew Portland, Oregon's Stumptown Coffee (dubbed an heir apparent to the Starbucks throne), TC's a high-end java house w/ an Old World Euro-vibe that peddles breakfast/lunch eats and baked goods from an in-house pastry chef (formerly of BiNA) in a cozy, darkly wooded space decked out with exposed brick, brown leather seating, historic b/w photos, and wood tables decorated w/ antique newspaper clippings, none of which seem too fond of the Japanese, the Germans, and sometimes the Italians. Midday highlights include hearty soups (shrimp & sausage gumbo, three bean chili) and select sammies like herb mayo'd smoked salmon w/ red onion and cucumber; balsamic-covered peppercorn turkey and mozzarella w/ red pepper; and a caramelized onion-topped roast beef/provolone number with horseradish dressing, which isn't nearly as titillating as it sounds...or is it? To kick start the morning, there're bacon cheddar chive/sour cherry scones, vanilla almond muffins, lemon cream brioche, or, if you prefer to eat like the Irish, a brown-sugared bowl of oatmeal that's been steel-cut, and is now forced to play on breakfast JV.
