50 Best Cafes near Lake Oswego

“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:)“

“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.“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“What a marvelous place for our neighborhood“

“The people are friendly, the chicken and veggie bowls are always good with sour cream and avocado 😋“

“Made it here for the first time today. Wifey and I both enjoyed our meals and I was happy to see Lamb Shank on the menu. It was very good and so was the baklava!“

“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!“

“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“

“I absolutely love this place. I don't have the excuse to go here very often, but I drop by when I can. The restaraunt is dripping with personality with all the decorations and the service has ranged from adequate to personable. A few times I have been they had live music playing, which was nice. The food though? Best I've ever had at a Cafe. I've tried about a third of the menu and every dish has been stellar. Prices are very reasonable; this is not some super pretentious overpriced Portland brunch place, this is the real deal. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“very delicious food and even better service.“

“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!!“

“Please support this great local coffee shop!“

“what a lovely find in Portland! great pourover and fantastic breakfast!!“

“todo muy delicioso y muy amigables“

“I had a few extra minutes so I thought I’d pick up a dozen of fancies. Never having been here before, what a great place! It was clean, tidy and a display of the most amazing looking donuts! Not over the top to where the donut gets lost but it’s just the opposite. Such a delicious assortment of flavors and those I asked said the cinnamon rolls were the best!!! They were all beautiful and the bunch I got it for were so excited because it is their favorite. What delicious flavors, it was hard not to take a bite out of each one! I think when in Beaverton it is now my fave too!“

“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!“

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

“If you need a good brunch spot, Churn Cafe is your spot! I ordered the bacon kimchi hash and it was FIRE! I also tried the Ube French toast and it was literally like eating a pillow! But it was very sweet, too sweet for my liking so if you want savoury I recommend the kimchi hash!
I also tried the mango matcha and it was the best matcha I have ever tasted!
My sister in law got the Benedict which unfortunately for her was cold :( so stay away from the eggs Benedict.
But other than that it’s in a cool part of Portland and the food was DELISH!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The best lunch spot to bring your toddler! Our toddler loved the little play area and we were seated next to it, so he was able to play while we ordered and waited for our food. The food was super delicious and our toddler loved it too. Definitely would come back again (even without kids) given how delicious and family friendly this place is!“

“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!“

“The best scones!! Great atmosphere and nice personnel ❤️“

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

“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!“

“the cheesy hashbrowns were excellent 👌“

“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 👍“
