50 Best Cafes near Clackamas

“Wow! We have been fans of Dean's Homestyle Cafe for many years. When the new owner's took it over this year, we were concerned about whether the comfortable, flavorful, "homestyle" experience we were used to would remain. The new team has done great! The staff is super friendly and working hard to make people feel welcome, learning names of regulars, and carrying on a place with a great reputation. The food is still excellent with super generous, well prepared portions and very reasonable prices. Well done!“

“I’ve been to this location a few times now and there’s a lot to like BUT... The coffee is great, donuts are fine (don’t really live up to the Portland level hype), but the seating feels a little like hostile architecture. On the wood benches there’s a lip at the top that digs into your back. I can’t take it for more than 10min and I leave in pain. I rarely write negative comments but the pain in my back compels me to share this to warn other coffee+donut shop nomads. They have WiFi but no bathroom (at least they said they didn’t when I was there) I want chains like this to succeed but I don’t understand how an owner allows this kind of thing to slide.“

“Healthy Menu, open till 9“

“Delicious food, hearty portions and the owner and chef was delightful. It’s definitely worth the trip downtown.“

“The homemade vegan English muffin sando was next level. We got the local tofu patty and it was amazing, totally worth the upgrade. Coffee was delicious, and the staff was friendly and personable. You have no idea how hard that hit for two weary travelers. This is a must stop on all future PDX trips! Thank you so much!“

“I like everything about this restaurant! The food was fresh, healthy and it was a fair price. I liked the help and the clientele and the general atmosphere. I'll be back!!“

“tried for the 1st time today. that coffee is on a whole differant level than anything else around. best cup of coffee in 54 years“

“What a gem of a coffee shop!! We are so glad we tucked in for a cup of coffee. The coffee is delicious and the latte art is so cute. The desserts were the perfect sweet treat for a rainy Saturday afternoon. The shop carries so many darling items, many are perfect for cat lovers. We will definitely be back!!“

“Great food and service ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Love the mini pankakes and my happiness cold !“

“As someone who isn’t classically a huge match fan I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place. We came in on a Thursday evening and luckily it was not super busy but I’m told it can fill in quickly and often has a line.

I wound up going for their seasonal cone flavor which was peach and was quite refreshing and tasty. They have a wide assortment of menu options and types of match dessert to choose from. They use a buzzer system and have seating in the back to accommodate maybe 6-8 groups.

The atmosphere is well lit and clean. Definitely appears to attract a bit of a younger crowd.“

“If you care about your health and want to feel better. SOMA Kombucha may be the help you need.“

“I have been to Nana’s three times!! Happy to share with new friends, and families. Quality, and nice presentation every time. So happy to give it a try. It’s clean, and a very happy people that took care of us. Fun time every time♥️“

“Love it here! First of all, the staff 😍 the friendliest, sweetest, and most welcoming. From the moment you walk in, it feels calm and relaxed.

The place is so quirky and cute. There’s a mug tree with lots of mismatched cups for self-serve coffee, and little trinkets here and there that create a warm atmosphere.

I got the quesadilla with black beans and it was delicious - hot, fresh, and full of flavour. The portion size was generous too!

My boyfriend had the home-smoked maple bacon, which was amazing. Great food and even better staff! Can’t wait to return!“

“Ordered online, the food and coffee were delicious! Got a Mom coffee, it was really good! Not sure what was in it because I didn't ask; it was sweet but not too sweet and had some other seasoning/flavor (light hazelnut or cinnamon). Latte was great. Deluxe bagel was very good and so was the plain bagel with cream cheese. Great price, great workers, we will def be back! Thank you.“

“It’s so beautiful inside, lovely employees, and just a cute place“

“This is my favorite place in Portland. I love the open mics, the trans community events, the potlucks, and the openness of the space. Every time I walk in, I feel welcome. The worker-owners are caring and kind people. The giraffe is definitely a fun added touch - but my favorite part of the Tap is definitely the community. This place has singlehandedly motivated me to stay in Portland.“

“We have lived here almost two years and I am sad to say this was our first visit. I WILL be going again.
From the customer service to the food to the check was top notch. It wasn’t just the taste, the presentation and speed at which we received our meal was wonderful.
Thank you for a great breakfast.“

“Been twice and this is definitely going to become one of my go- to spots on the east side! The staff is super welcoming and awesome, they have some unique drink options, and their Matcha is amazing! It has a bright vibe with some plants, great decor, and a fair amount of seating. When it’s nice out the café opens up it’s rollup windows too. Definitely would recommend!“

“Person with one earring and a stache with a smile that puts our stars to shame - he was so nice and fun and recommended the best drinks. such good vibes and we paid in cash then realized we couldn’t tip so we will forever regret that we couldn’t throw a 5 or even a 10 in the tip jar.“

“Try a flight of drinking chocolate and you'll be hooked. It's mind-blowing to truly taste chocolate for the first time and compare two different varietals. Also, the marzipan coffee is Amazing!☕️“

“I have art hanging in the cafe. It’s a beautiful space, a great compliment to my paintings. The owner and the staff were very nice. The food looked and smelled delicious; I will go back another time to eat!“

“The real deal artisanal Portland coffee roaster. Best in the business.“

“Nice breakfast full range to suit all. Good quantity well presented 👍“

“Just ate here with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the talented cooks and chefs make beautiful plates. Our server was gracious and attentive, and knew when to refill our drinks. The food was delicious, well seasoned, and satisfying.“

“Soen/Courier Coffee is a small Japanese café. It's one café and one counter for ordering, so there is no functional distinction between Soen and Courier Coffee, I think the coffee menu and small baked goods selection is from Courier Coffee and the rest (norimaki, kakigori, and tea) is Soen. Kakigori is available seasonally - I was lucky that I visited during the last week of kakigori for the year.
It's a pretty small space, a few tables tables inside and a few outside on the sidewalk. There's not much room for standing, but the staff will bring your food to your table so you don't have to stand around waiting after you order. The staff members were very nice!
I got there 45 minutes before closing. They were out of most of the norimaki but had one ume-taku norimaki left, so that was what I ordered, along with an apple cinnamon kakigori and buckwheat tea. I really enjoyed the norimaki even though it wasn't my first choice. The pickled plum and radish gave it a big pop of flavour and the inari added some nice sweetness. Perfect interplay of sweet, savoury, and vegetal flavours. The kakigori looked huge but since kakigori is mostly ice it wasn't heavy or hard to finish. The apple cinnamon flavour came with a creamy sweet potato sauce, a shot of hojicha, and of course baked apples. It was a really interesting and unique combination of flavours. Very good. The tea was a nice warming accompaniment to my meal. I think for the high quality the prices were fair.“

“Jenni has done a wonderful job of making this a comfortable and welcoming environment. On top of that the food and coffee is top tier. Do yourself a favor and come by this amazing coffee shop“

“Never been before! Drove past it and turned around to check it out. The barista was so sweet taking my order and they both looked happy to be there and happy to answer my questions. The place is very bright and nice and the coffee was delicious! Well steamed milk, a tasty shot of espresso. Will be visiting again!“

“This place is bombie! Food is always good and service is amazing I highly recommend :)“

“We enjoyed dinner at Bumblebee on 11/1/24 with some friends and were blown away. This was more than dinner; it was an EXPERIENCE. The food quality, presentation, and care given to each dish was second to none. They truly have something special here, Sunny and her team certainly showed their talents! Thank you:)“

“McCraes I hands down my favorite restraunt. Excellent food and friendly staff. Fast service, but not rushed.“

“I recently visited a different Nossa Familia Coffee location, and it exceeded my expectations. The cozy atmosphere and friendly baristas create the perfect environment for either a quick coffee stop or a relaxing afternoon. Their espresso drinks are always perfectly balanced—rich and smooth without any bitterness. One of my favorite things about this place is their focus on sustainability and community involvement, which makes every visit feel purposeful. While I typically enjoy their offerings in-store, I’ve also started using their subscription service, which is fantastic for enjoying their freshly roasted beans at home. It’s a great way to keep a steady supply of high-quality coffee, delivered right to your door. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Nossa Familia offers a consistently great experience!“

“I love getting breakfast and a lovely cup of coffee, made by super friendly baristas!“

“Delightful quick service. The sandwich i received was huge and came with a little bag of chips some pickles and plenty of napkins( important when taking it on the go!) OH, and it was delicious. So glad to have discovered this place on my transit route“

“The reviews weren't wrong! Wonderful pastries and excellent coffee. A small, cozy, spot with a very upscale vibe. Enjoyed an almond croissant, and a lemon scone. Both were very good, and the coffees were spot on! Very impressive, staff were friendly and quick also!“

“One of the best restaurants in downtown Portland!
As soon as you walk in, you will notice that the hectic city atmosphere disappears. Calm music plays throughout the restaurant, with spacious seating and comfy chairs/sofas.
They have a children's play area off to the side too, which is nice for keeping the children occupied while the food is prepared.
They have many different food options and the staff will customize them any way you like to ensure you enjoy your meal.
The owner, Kris, is super nice and down to earth. He truly cares about all the customers.
And Natcha(?) was very helpful in seating us, and providing our food quickly.
Must stop here if you are in town!“

“Their biscuits, pies, and coffee are all amazing. They always have decaf options, hot chocolate, and almond milk, too. And they have little doggie biscuits for the furry guys.“

“Nice people, great coffee 👍“

“Went for the first time recently after living here for 18 years! I put my full botanist knowledge on display here and had an exciting time 💮 The gardens were stunning and I enjoyed a tasty Taiyaki snack from the shop after taking in the views. Will definitely need to return in the spring when the sakura bloom since my boyfriend loves cherry blossoms 🌸 The best part was finding my favorite flower at the gift shop! They had it as both a bookmark (only one left) and a tapestry (not out on display) so I really feel like I mega lucked out! It’s a climbing cactus that only grows in tropical Asia called Queen of the Night. I’ve never seen iconography of it sold in North America before so I was ecstatic! What a beautiful place- will definitely be back!“

“We had our Company Christmas party at Ohanna Hawaiian Cafe and everyone that worked there was so gracious and helpful. We had a mix of ages and everyone found something to their liking on their menu. The food is fresh, delicious and huge servings. I had the Kahlúa pork with mac salad and white rice. So flavorful and filling. All our team and their family had a great time and we celebrated the holiday in style 💕 Thank you Ohana 🙏“

“Erin made a delicious iced lavender mocha for me in January! I'd like to add the coffee was perfect and service excellent. My friend and I had a rough morning and she really turned it around for us with her awesome personality and smiles. I used to go to Grendel's in mornings when visiting friends in the neighborhood and was pleased to have another good cup of Java there. Stay rockin! ❤“

“We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou“

“I had the cannoli and manicotti platter delicious“

“The lady that owns the shop is amazing so sweet and so kind and awesome customer service personality. We need more people like her in this world. If you haven’t tried her coffee or chai, you really should.“

“Fun seasonal flavor, great latte and great food recommendation! Def check it out 😊“

“Do not tell anybody about this super awesome coffee spot! Hand crafted coffee drinks and teas featuring Super Joy Coffee Roasters small batch speciality coffees. On mu most recent visit I got a pepper mocha and it was fabulous. Do yourself a favor and get a coffee now. No regrets. Promise. Just don't tell not no one.“
