“I'm pleasantly surprised to see a late night coffee shop, especially one with a generous dessert offering! We visited with friends on a Friday evening after getting sushi nearby. We wanted to grab a coffee and dessert and this place totally hit the spot. I got a small latte with their espresso chocolate cake and it was the perfect combo, great flavor & consistency, perfectly balanced and decadent. My husband got the Apple strudel and that was delicious as well. Parking was a little difficult but the interior & patio has tons of seating and the diversity of patrons was great, both youngish and older, people gathering with friends or enjoying solo time to get work done. Service was fast & friendly. Vibes are chill.“
“This coffee shop not only has great coffee but also an amazing environment. It's a great place to hangout on a sunny day. The water fountains next to the coffee shop makes a great spot for the kids. Parents can hangout on the outdoor patio, while the kids can run around.“
“Local roaster and coffee shop with multiple options for single-origin coffee. I had a cup of their daily drip offering, which was a Kenyan with pleasant acidity and fruity overtones. Nutty Bars, Star Crunch, and other classic snacks available in lieu of the standard pastries. ??“
“Awesome little place. Right on the Streetcar route. Abba is pioneering new coffee and drink options; notably the Pistachio latte and the sesame seed latte. These are not made with flavored syrup, instead made in-house into a paste. Abba also boasts a beautiful live in house coffee tree.Parking: Abba is right along the streetcar track in NW Portland, easy to access by foot, bike, or streetcar. Parking is possible, but not nearly as fun as the streetcar.“
“A beautifully clean, airy, and comfortable industrial space. It's modern and cozy-a great place to sit and read solo, or come chat with a friend. Service is friendly and everything feels curated with great attention to detail. Pour over menu is extensive. I had coffee (they have fun fusion lattes to explore), and will want to come back to make my way through their equally extensive tea menu. Food is limited to a few mochi sweet pastries-I wouldn't have minded a bit more selection. The stoneware elevates the drinking experience. I recommend getting your drinks "for here"; sit, and enjoy for a moment.“
“This coffee shop is our little neighborhood gem! The owner is fantastic and always brightens my day with fun conversation and delicious, high quality beans. I just bought a bag of beans to make at home and the taste is superbly balanced and noticeably roasted with meticulous care and craftsmanship. I love this little shop!“
“All killer, no filler. Incredible traditional coffee drinks. Expert barista. Prices that are probably too low for the excellent quality. This isn't a place where you will study or meet people. It's a tiny shop. But it's a place where your 10 minutes there will rejuvenate your day. It's quiet, smooth, and excellent.“

“I generally gauge coffee shops by their cold brew, and this coffee shop has a smooth, creamy, very easy to drink cold brew option. I ordered a sesame bagel and hopped into a little booth to do some work. Overall, the vibe is very laid back, great music, and strong WiFi. I’m really glad I ducked into this cute little coffee shop!“
“Fantastic coffee, great CS. I stopped in yesterday for a shot of a Guatemalan Gesha, yes you read that right. They were serving shots of an absolute bomb of a Guatemalan Gesha! I dabble in roasting my own beans at home and Tim was not only excited to talk about it with me and give me some advice. But was also willing to share information and offered to help any way he could. Great people serving/roasting fantastic coffee. What more could you want?“
“Lovely staff and great coffee. I love their chai coffee in particular. I wish they were open longer on weekends as I might like to try a cocktail they apparently have the ability to make....but such drinks in the morning are not desirable and during weekdays they close at 5pm.“
“One of OG coffee houses in Portland still offers delicious coffee in an industrial setting. I like the high ceilings, huge windows and solid furniture. I feel they lend themselves to creativity. I found free parking on a side street, but there's 2-hour metered parking right outside. The only perk of the metered parking is that it keeps the sketchy vans that never leave away- iykyk I still get a kick out the fact Jerry Seinfeld was here. My service experience was prompt-unlike his Portland famous experience“
“I ordered the Mexican Hot chocolate with almond milk made with the chocolate from Vietnam.It's rich with some spice to it and not just hot.My wife got the chocolate chill. It was super good!This has been the best drinking chocolate experience I've had by far.Highly recommend it.“
“I can't say enough wonderful things about our neighborhood coffee shop. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and a warm inviting atmosphere.The staff is incredibly friendly and thoughtful. They know my husband and I regular coffee order. Now lets talk about the coffee. Its not just a drink but they roast everything in house. They source the beans meticulously and it shows in every cup. The pastries and treats are also quite delicious.The quality of the coffee, the warmth of staff and the cozy atmosphere make this coffee shop an absolute gem in our neighborhood.“
“Such a cozy neighborhood spot down by the riverfront! My boyfriend and I split the maple breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito (adding in the bacon, pickled onions and sriracha mayo) and both were SO delicious and filling. The oats and honey latte iced added the perfect bit of sweetness to our breakfast too. I am already planning to return to try out the chocolate chip cookies and other baked goods (and the beers!! Highly recommend!“
“Great place, came during a roadtrip during thanksgiving up from san francisco and it was a pleasant spot. It was also the only place open on thanksgiving which was kinda great. #goasianrestaurants for being open on major federal holidays in the us. I got the ube latte which was amazing and the interior was really really cute. Definitely stop by if you're in the area“
“Strong coffee with a classic atmosphere. The historic building, white and black tiling, and marble tabletops are best appreciated when the sun shines through the huge windows and makes the indoor greenery pop even brighter. It isn't the biggest cafe, but there are a fair number of two-seater tables, a window counter, and a larger circular table for groups you might be lucky enough to snag.You could spend all day here, starting off with a coffee and pastry in the morning, then lunch with pre-packaged yogurt and salads, then start your evening with a cocktail. Alternative milk options available. With free Wi-Fi and outlets, it's not hard to see why many choose here to study or work. Dispense your own water from the water station at the pickup counter.For explanations of the various drinks and unlabeled pastries, look no further than your friendly barista. I opted to get a Caffe al Pepe, an interesting twist on a latte with black pepper and honey. For those who like a hint of spice in their drinks, would definitely recommend - I could even have used a bit more pepper. My Trail Mix cookie was also a delight, being the perfect size and mixture for someone indecisive like myself. Prices are a little on the higher end (a cookie + medium specialty latte coming out to over $12 pre-tip), but worth the occasional treat and a few hours spent basking in Umbria's light.“
“Super joy gave me the best coffee experience in Portland. The exquisite latte art immediately catches the eye, signaling the quality to come. Each cup is a visual and sensory delight, with intricate designs atop a harmonious blend of robust espresso and velvety milk. The pour-over coffee made by Topher is a revelation, offering a journey through complex flavors and aromas, showcasing the clarity and depth of their expertly selected beans. The ambiance and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience, making it a haven for coffee lovers. Topher truly excels in both the art and flavor of coffee, making each visit memorable.“
“Definitely worth stopping in, especially if you’re at Powell’s. True to Portland tradition the coffee and espresso drinks are excellent. Be patient they might be a little slow in preparation. Pastries fresh made in house and a must try.“
“I’ve given up the corporate coffee shops and have decided to support local businesses. It was tough to switch from the coffee I was used to down in Eugene but once I found Thornton Family Coffee Roasters I was all set. The only complaint I might have is that they occasionally don’t have my favorite flavor and I have to get a substitute. That is never really a bad thing when it comes to this place though. These people have it down to a science.“
