🇺🇸 Stumptown opens a Los Angeles flagship in the Starland Theatre
Stumptown Coffee Roasters has opened a new flagship cafe and regional training centre in the former Starland Theatre in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles. The August 29 opening brings a full espresso bar, rotating single-origin espresso and an onsite education lab into the preserved front section of the historic theatre, with original tile, brick and facade details retained in the room.
Why it matters: this is a substantive return to flagship-scale retail for a major specialty roaster after Stumptown’s Arts District roastery cafe closed in 2024. The training lab also makes the Los Angeles site more than another service counter: it gives staff and wholesale partners a dedicated local base, while Lincoln Heights gains a destination coffee stop with a clear sense of place.
