True to its name, this letterbox is hidden in a neighborhood coffeehouse. In fact, this coffeehouse is named for the neighborhood in which it resides.

About the neighborhood:
It is located in an arty district of NE Portland. It is home to an area that was once a dumping ground for stolen cars before "Portland Parks & Recreation 'rode to the rescue' and removed briar patches, graded the hills, and planted grass – turning this one-time valley of vandals into a beautiful park for everyone to enjoy!" It is also home to a private Lutheran liberal arts college and a historic one-story elementary school that serves alcohol and regularly lets people sleep in class.

To the letterbox:
As you enter this neighborhood coffeehouse, look to your left for a large wood stove sitting against the wall. After you've purchased a cup of Stumptown's finest and caught up on some of the neighborhood gossip, make your way over to the table sitting on the street side of the iron stove. The letterbox (in the form of a magnetic key box) is waiting for you on the back of the stove.
