A local tribal police chief told me about Stompin’ Grounds Coffee in La Conner, Washington. In town for several days, I needed a “go to” place for my daily coffee fix. Stompin’ Grounds cheerfully met my expectations.
I met the owner – Kim – on my first visit to this Mom and Pop coffee shop. Very cheerful woman and so full of suggestions. After running through several of them - anything from the Faux Cubano, James Bond, LaConner Fog, Kombucha, Red Bull Spritz, a Cuppa Joe and various Mochas, Lattes’ and Chai tea - I ended up picking the LaConner Fog – named after the town in which I was visiting.
In case you’re wondering, the “LaConner Fog” is actually a tea with vanilla, hot water, steamed milk, and jasmine green tea. Two tea bags with the large cup – one tea bag should you order the small cup. Great taste and an interesting blend of ingredients.
On a subsequent visit to Stompin’ Grounds, I tried the “Faux Cubano.” Coming from the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area of South Florida, I wanted to see how fake Cubans were made. True to form – or as I should say – foam, the Faux Cuban delivered an interesting Pacific Northwest blast. No complaint with this coffee.
Polite staff – clean and friendly place with plenty of parking. Stompin’ Grounds Coffee offers more than just coffee and tea. Try the homemade cookies, ice cream or free Wi-Fi. I will visit again when in the Pacific Northwest.
