“A Charming and Memorable High Tea Experience
I recently surprised my son with high tea at Bumblebee Tea & Flowers, and it exceeded every expectation. As someone who’s enjoyed tea at some of the most renowned hotels and tearooms, I can confidently say this gem holds its own.

The tea service was fun and creative, featuring unexpected flavor profiles that were both refreshing and comforting (the prawn sandwich). What makes Bumblebee truly special is their commitment to the art and wellness of tea. Every detail—from the presentation to the curation—reflects their belief in tea’s healing properties.

The owner was absolutely lovely. She took the time to speak with us personally about her sourcing process and even crafted a custom blend tailored just for us. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare and made the experience unforgettable.

Whether you're a devoted tea enthusiast or just looking for a unique outing, I highly recommend making a reservation. Bumblebee Tea & Flowers offers more than tea—it offers connection, intention, and a bit of magic in every cup.“

“Delicious and customizable breakfast sandwiches made by Joo. His coffee is also very good and there is a full range of choices. Fun fact: Joo is a pickleball champ in his spare time! Rosa is the resident mascot and she is adorable. This is the place you want to get your morning coffee and breakfast.

Kid-friendliness: Joo and Rosa are great with kids!“

“Such great wraps and sandwiches! This has become my go-to spot for picking up lunch. This is a tiny little kiosque-style cafe in the middle of a large office building. The service is excellent! They have always been efficient and prompt. Highly recommend.“

The potato leek pastry is to die for and we truly cannot wait until we can return! We live about an hour and a half from Portland so it’s always a treat to stop by and refuel here. Hopefully people feel inspired to branch out and try the offerings here because they are very much worth your time and enjoyment.“

Thank you for supporting and defending your community so well.
Thank you for just being good humans.

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.“

The service is great and the decor is eclectic and fun. Love this place for breakfast and lunch.“

“Great spot for coffee and yummy lunch. Clean dining room and lovely staff. Definitely recommend!“

“You know that advice that’s like, if the locals are eating there it will be good? When I peered in the window and saw 3 elder (and let me say, spiffy!) gay couples having breakfast here I knew it was gonna be good. Self service coffee while we waited for the table was clutch. Shout out the servers, they’re awesome. It took a min to get our food, but that’s because they were sending our food back for a re-do. It came out scrumptious. Get the scrapple“

“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!“

“Ernest and Ross are so awesome, they always have a positive attitude and are great at communicating! I love coming in and getting a Gluten free Roma Toastie with my bf. It’s so nice to have a cafe close to home queer plants always has so many cozy plants and cute art! It’s a great place to run into folks in the neighborhood and have a social moment.“

“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“

“My favorite breakfast spot in NE PDX! Love the Pandan Waffle Churn Breakfast as well as their specialty drinks. I had Ube Latte, Pandan Latte & Matcha Black Sesame Latte.“

“Good vibes, kind baristas, and friendly ppl. I’m visiting from out of town but if I lived around the area, this place would def be a great hangout place. Tried this pastry made with sweet potato and chickpea and it was DELICIOUS. Also tried the mocha fogo and it was unique/tasty. Great place“

“I absolutely loved the mix of German and Portland vibes here. The breakfast burrito was packed with flavor, and the maple latte tasted just like real maple syrup, Cozy local spot.“

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“The matcha ice cream here is exactly my taste, and the young female staff members are always super friendly. Every visit feels relaxing and puts me in a great mood. There is also an older male staff member who carries himself a bit differently from the others — I’m guessing he might be the owner.“

“family friendly and a beautiful environment ❤️ Just love this place“

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

“Are you kidding me!! The variety by itself is insane! At least four different types of fritters three different types of twists. I can’t even count the maple bars and other variety of donuts. Donut King initially a little apprehensive, but the second you walk into the store you realize yeah this is definitely the king of donuts. At least 30 different varieties of donut. And the fact they are all Displayed in a showcase right in front for the see!!
Are you vegan? Are you gluten-free as my partner happens to be? They have donuts for both and last I checked this is the only donut place in town that has gluten-free donuts and vegan donuts within the west side..
Service is incredible. My personal favorite raspberry fritter!“

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

“Sweetest petite bakery with so many options. The staff were welcoming and gave me suggestions on items but also what to do locally. They also have cookie mix and granola for takeaway. I ordered the mocha and pistachio croissant, both were excellent. I appreciate the attention to detail and high quality experience. I forgot to take a photo of my mocha.“

“Nice people, great coffee 👍“

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

“Food was simple. Had the corn cakes which I didn’t realize was just pancakes. Had it with the blueberries and bacon. It was good. Also had the endive salad however, the dressing was more acidic than anticipated. Was a charming little place. We’re used to the heavy American breakfast, and this was nice and light.“

“I’m a cat person but I LOVE this coffee shop. Most of the employees are very friendly but my favorite thing about this Place is their specialty drink Menu. I
Almost always order a fun drink from their specials menu and this sets them Apart from all the other coffee Shops.

Their emphasis on bringing your own reusable mug is
Also commendable!“

“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!“

“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!☕️“

“Great place. One of my favorites in the neighborhood. I love how bright the coffee shop is and the open layout in general. The coffee is better than the two closest cafes too me, but it doesn't quite make my Portland top ten. It's definitely a runner up though.“

“My iced latte is delicious and I got an extra bacon breakfast burrito to go!“

“Truly Exceptional Service

I had an amazing experience at Nossa Familia Coffee today. Tara, Aiyana, and Danny (the store manager) were absolutely wonderful. Their kindness and warmth made a real difference. When they overheard a bit of what I was going through, they went above and beyond and offered me the most incredible chai latte with oat milk — and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had.

The atmosphere here is welcoming, the staff genuinely care, and the customer service is top-tier. Encounters like this remind me how powerful compassion can be.

Highly recommend this location. Thank you all so much. ☕💛“

“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.“

“If you love bagels, this is a great place to get breakfast. I had an everything bagel with cream cheese, egg, and bacon. The fillings were delicious and plentiful. Great service, nice atmosphere, clean, organized, creative... Coffee was very good too. Location is really close to the Hyatt Regency and Oregon Convention Center. Menu also had panini sandwiches, and other toppings like lox, turkey, ham, sausage, peanut butter, nutella, etc. They have bananas and oatmeal too.“

“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“
