They serve the much-lauded Stumptown Coffee, and it is strong and delicious, not to mention fair trade. They offer American coffee ($1.75) and espresso-based coffee drinks ($2.25-$4.00) on the menu, as well as a variety of in-house baked goods (muffins and other treats). They also sell Nunu Chocolates, which are wonderful - the hand-dipped salted caramel is my favorite so far.
The staff is really nice and accommodating, and owner Rich answered my questions about the store and products, and even passed on some brewing tips (which were a huge help!). You can also buy Stumptown beans from them - 12 oz bags run from about $12-14, depending on the kind of bean you get. I bought a bag of the Columbia El Jordan, brewed it this morning, and found it to be one of the smoothest cups of coffee I've had in quite a while. I can see myself returning again and again for good coffee and fantastic beans for home brewing. And those chocolates... mmm...
Definitely check them out - you won't regret it!

LOVED this place - so cozy and cute with an indie feel. The cappuccino was divine and so was their wheat bran muffin!
It's not often that "bran muffin" and "divine" are mentioned in the same sentence! It must have been truly fabulous, which wouldn't surprise me. Glad you had a good experience!
Hi Meg!
It was awesome meeting you the other day! How did you like the El Jordan? It's my favorite right now, so much chocolate and baking spice, delish.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you so much for coming over and for writing such nice things about Sweetleaf. They were very flattering.
Next time you are in LIC, shoot me an email.
See ya!
