50 Best Cafes near Milwaukie

“I cannot stress how good this place is. The coffee is exceptional, the food- so good. Do you like avocado toast? Well, come on down! You like buffalo chicken wraps with croutons and blue cheese? They got you! Great place for a meeting or to hang out! They know their regulars and treat everyone really well. 100/10 recommend.“

“We stopped by on Saturday night at 4:30 P.M. A little social media birdie had told me that they were open for dinner from 4:30PM to 9 PM on Friday and Saturdays (make sure to check their website for earlier hours). It’s a cute little spot. Lots of local art on the walls for sale and lots of seating. You can tell they make everything from scratch and you can follow the smoky and tantalizing smells of barbecue right to the door. My friend and I shared the deviled eggs with the bacon lardon-🤤-so good! Flavorful and tender. My friend got the polenta bowl with greens and brisket. I tried a bite and it was delicious! I had the mac & cheese with chicken and bacon lardon topped with breadcrumbs. Tender pasta and bacon and smoked chicken in a creamy sauce-yum! We ordered house red and white wines and both were great selections. We also took three of their dessert selections home for later. The location is a little off the beaten path, but I think it would be worth it for you to come on in and support this local business. I know that my friend and I will be back.“

“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“

“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 🙏“

“We had a lovely evening meal and would highly recommend this restaurant to others. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive and our food was delicious. My first choice (the pie) was unavailable but the pasta dish I selected instead was a great choice. All tables were full and there was a buzz and perfect ambience inside.“

“Hands-down, this is probably the best coffee pound per pound. I’m such a coffee snob that I grind my beans so get the whole bean bag and you will not be disappointed. No sour taste, no bitter taste, just really good coffee.“

“Good food- has Greek Fries and Lamb Gyro. Very good! Great portions. Live music tonight for the porch fest, which was nice. Had. Tangerine Dream cider which was super tasty and refreshing.“

“My waiter was outstanding, friendly and helpful. Food not so much. It's called Biscuits so I was expecting a lot from them, but they were kind of gummy and not very crisp. The corned beef hash was odd: a lot of shredded corned beef but not very many potatoes, and the potatoes looked like slivers of onions!?!“

“We had merguez tagine and Turkish coffee. Fabulous food and friendly service.“

“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!!“

“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“

“Great food and service ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Best breakfast sandwich in Portland! Also the only place that made my Americano just the way I like it the very first time I ordered there! Staff are incredibly friendly, the coffee cart itself is adorable, and they include thoughtful touches like writing your coffee order on your cup in gorgeous, handwritten cursive!! We cannot wait to come back here again and again 😃“

“Great food I will come agian“

“Nice people, great coffee 👍“

“Stopped by for the matcha ice cream and it did not disappoint. The matcha flavor was rich and authentic without being overly sweet, and the texture was super smooth and creamy. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the overall vibe was really nice. If you're a matcha lover, this spot is definitely worth checking out.“

“I love Bennett’s Best Bites! It’s quickly becoming my satellite office when the AC is on the fritz at my work, lol. The owner, Matt, is incredible. Friendly, personable, and community minded, it’s everything I’m looking for when I need a good coffeehouse to chill and work. Food is amazing too! Don’t sleep on this awesome little gem.“

“Breakfast at Cameos to start our day touring Portland. Cute little place with good coffee, serve and food. Hubby had the Marcia Special which came with biscuits and gravy,hashbrowns and he added 2 overeasy eggs. He said the gravy was good but the biscuits were a little mushy. I had the senior which came with one egg, a huge hot cake and 2 strips of bacon. Bacon was nice and crispy. Good meal to start our busy day.“

“very delicious food and even better service.“

“Really great neighborhood coffee shop. Cheddar jalapeño scones are 🤤 Yummy coffee of course, and the service is always super friendly, even early in the morning. Good wifi and seating for around 20 people and chill vibes if you’re looking for a place to spend a little time too.“

“I love the atmosphere at Queer Plants Cafe with the hydroponic gardens and all the plants. They have an extensive menu with lots of drinks to try. I can highly recommend the lattes. The staff is friendly and you really have the feeling they love what they do!“

“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.“

“Please support this great local coffee shop!“

“I wanted this to be 5-star so bad. The food was outstanding, service was ok. We got brunch instead of the full tea service. Upon ordering, we were told that in the afternoon, breakfast items on the ‘brunch’ menu are not available. It also took an hour+ and when served, we were told brunch was second priority. If it’s not a true brunch nor priority, why offer it? These are both items I would have appreciated knowing before making an expensive brunch reservation.“

“An amazing local breakfast favorite. Excellent meats; bacon, pork belly, Canadian bacon. The best fresh squeezed orange juice and refillable coffee. Various amazing breakfast choices; I prefer Classic Eggs Benedict or Waffles with Pecans topped with incredibly delicious Ginger Butter. Friendly, prompt and personable service by staff and owner. I highly recommend!“

“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“

“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 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.“

“My partner and I had the breakfast sandwich (sausage on sourdough and bacon on a bagel), both were delicious! ☺️“

“We have lived down the street for a decade and today was our first visit! We have missed out… this place was 🤩 amazing! It has become our go to weekend breakfast spot!!! Love it“

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

“Yunomi Matcha is a fantastic spot in Portland for high quality matcha. The matcha was excellent — vibrant, smooth, and clearly made with care. Great atmosphere as well, with a calm and welcoming vibe. Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate properly prepared matcha.“

“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.“

“Had to find a good spot to get some work done while enjoying the sunshine today. Achievement unlocked! #kisscoffeepdx #blackownedbusiness #blackhistorymonth“

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches. It’s not the super fastest place but that’s understandable as it’s a smaller business which I always appreciate supporting. Also it’s pretty dang expensive but again it’s quality ingredients and sizable sandwiches to understandable.“

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

“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!“

“GET THE CORN CAKES! Oh my LORD, SOOO yummy!!! If cornbread and pancakes made a baby this would be that baby and I can't stop thinking about them! I think I am actally obsessed. Sweet, salty, and a fantastic cup of coffee to go with it? That's a beautiful life. Swee Dee Dee is a real gem!“

“Cookies are phenomenal!! Must try the Cowboy Cookie. Also, this is such a cool spot to hang out, sip on a latte, and enjoy the selection of top-notch baked goods. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped at a great little place and had a large French Roast coffee and a breakfast sandwich ham egg and cheese on a fresh croissant. 2 min and I was enjoying a great sandwich at a great value. I met Joo and he was very friendly. They are pet friendly with free dog treats. Enjoy staying and eat inside or sit outside below large very impressive trees that I am sorry I can’t tell you the species.
Anyway stop by and enjoy a quick bite and coffee. He also has an espresso machine to make anything to rival a Starbucks but at much better price point.“

“I recently visited this place and honestly I had a really good experience. The overall vibe was nice and comfortable, and everything felt well maintained. The staff were polite and helpful, which made things even better.
What I liked the most was how smooth everything went no unnecessary delays, and the service felt genuine, not forced. You can tell they care about their customers. The environment was also clean and peaceful, making it a good spot to spend some quality time.“

“they make my absolute favorite espresso ~ they roast their beans themselves + they do it DELICIOUSLY ! it's always full bodied + flavorful + balanced + round(?) (idk it feels balanced + full), never ever acidic nor bitter.

when i've bought beans to make in my moka pot at they have consistently been the best i've ever made at home + their espresso drinks in house are my favorite i've had !!! ~ their cortados are rich + full with beautiful crema + their lavender iced lattes are so flavorful (all their flavored drinks are ! i'm just personally obsessed with the lavender) + i very literally moan aloud at how delicious it is every time i take my first (+ second + third + every other) sip.

mindy + keith (the owners) + their dog osha (??? i think i'm spelling it wrong) are sweethearts + sooo welcoming + loving towards dogs !!! the other baristas are too ! when my doggie can tell we are walking to the cafe, she gets excited from blocks away, knowing she's gonna get to see her friends (the humans + her doggie friend)

the space is big + open, warm + welcoming with lots of different kinds of cozy seating ~ a wooden bar at the window is so nice for reading / journaling / computer work (there's plugs) / just gazing outside at the view. there's a big cushy cozy couch which is super snuggly with a large table. there's a built in wrap around bench seat with multiple tables (one with a chess board!) that's easy to sit in solo, with your pup, or as a group ~ it's super adaptable +++ a big group table in back + lots of two seater tables all along the art covered wall

the entry is framed with plants + they always have local art rotating through + it's such a good atmosphere to be in ☕️

support this family (couple + their doggie) owned business :) they truly deserve it !“

“I love coming to Nossa, all of their locations are great but the open air with the garage door at this one is a cherry on top. The cheese waffle is to die for, especially with jam! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, ethical values, can’t say enough! 💝“

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

“Delicious and all home made“

“Favorite cafe near my work. Coffee tastes the BEST here, no contest. Always friendly, great prices, fast service. Never ever have had an issue, even when it gets busy in the morning (because it's a cafe), because I know how to be patient. This place has made many of my mornings better because it's here. Thanks J Cafe!“
