The Stumptown revolution continues!

The Portland-based coffee purveyor that just announced its plans to open a roasting plant in Red Hook is now offering its gourmet grinds at the newly opened Second Stop Café in Williamsburg.

Baristas at the homey space at the corner of Ainslie and Lorimer streets received more than 100 hours of training aiming to teach them how to brew the quintessential coffee and pull the perfect shot, according to Craig Kafton, an owner.

“We use machines tweaked to the Stumptown specifications,” said Krafton, whose café opened on Jan. 17.

Visitors can lounge among reclaimed furniture and tchotchkes, and order from the still-growing menu, which already boasts homemade baked goods and savory dishes like a vegetarian three-bean chili with cornbread ($6.50), and a baked eggplant with mesclun ($8.50).

Second Stop Café, [524 Lorimer St. at Ainslie Street in Williamsburg, (718) 486-6850]. Open Monday to Friday; 7 am to 11 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 11 pm.
