Great views of the harbor and ferry terminal from this coffee shop's huge, floor-to-ceiling windows. It gets lots of sun throughout the day so its a nice place to visit in the Winter too. Coffee is good and they also have some pastries and sandwiches to choose from on the daily.

The coffee is exceptional and their seasonal specials are always really excellent. The latte with maple is my personal favorite. We make a point of visiting as much as we can when in town. The space is wonderful and full of light. So nice to sit in the sunshine especially on a cold day with a hot beverage!

Extremely long wait for such a small line. Lots of chatting instead of moving the line along. Waited for a while then left without ordering. I hear their coffee is good, but the wait and service were extremely slow.

Great atmosphere, fantastic single-origin pourovers if you’re a coffee snob like me, and tasty options like house-made chai if coffee isn’t your thing.

Great pour over and espresso options, plus quick options like cold brew or hot drip ready to go. They do also have some non-coffee drinks.

This is a great coffee shop in the new Portland section of town.
Coffee is fantastic. The service is very good. They have a decent selection of baked goods and breakfast sandwiches to go.

Do not answer phone and no way to online order in advance to save time. Very slim breakfast sandwich choices (2 pre-made choices at $9 each). We both thought the coffee was bleh. Not worth going here.

Bad coffee, bad service, high prices. No idea how this place got such a high ranking.

My partner and I go here at least a few times per month and it has never disappointed. Excellent coffee. It's difficult to find a coffee shop with the option of a pour over, and they do it very well with several bean options. Highly recommend the light roast varieties. Their cappuccino is great as well. They typically have a small selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches (very good, but on the pricey side). They have a small new outside covered area as well that you can sit with a dog. If you have high expectations for your coffee, go here, you won't be disappointed.
