Best zucchini bread in the world I've ever had, and some of the best smoothies in town.

Delicious smoothies & bowls, high quality juices, and the best cleanest desserts in town. The salad rolls are great as well, and their avocado toast is one of the few in town that's worth its cost. This is the best place for juices & amoothies in Portland (tied with their food cart on SE Division)

An Unforgettable Act of Kindness

We were visiting Portland from out of town when my youngest child—who is nonverbal, on the autism spectrum, and new to potty training—suddenly needed a restroom. With almost no notice, I ran into Best Friends Café in a bit of a panic. The two employees couldn’t have been more kind or accommodating. They immediately welcomed us in, showed us to the restroom, and remained calm and patient while my son was clearly distressed.

Not only did they help us in a stressful moment, but they also offered us a book from their community library and treated my son with warmth and acceptance, allowing him to be his goofy, chirpy self without judgment.

Afterward, we ordered a drink (which was fantastic!) and took in how cozy and welcoming the café is. This small act of compassion meant the world to us. Thank you, Best Friends Café—for being the kind of place that reminds you there’s so much good in the world.

Price, staff, atmosphere, modifications allll good. It's just a bit cold in there always, making my cold food less enjoyable

If I had not been with guests, I would have walked out before making a purchase. Like others note here - pricing does not match with quality/uniqueness of the product and its composition.OK, so maybe steller service - meh. They do have to go items but holy cow theyre priced like theyre made of endangered species. Hopefully they get their sourcing dialed in or something. Every hood needs a healthy quick stop. Great location, just not my vibe, and hopefully it inspires others to start a juice shop or make their own at home.
Vibe- 4/10

Will i return - possibly, but not by my own will.

“Let food be thy medicine” everything a smoothie should be- beneficial and tasty! We had the mango smoothie, the blue rose latte and some Moon Balls. Loved it all, felt good about consuming it, we will definitely be back

Cute little place, unique selection of stock flavors. Vegan mostly. We got 3 different ones and the mango one was definitely the best of the 3. The Almond joy one tastes very strangely of ripe banana bread. Kinda grows on ya.

Would go back but I'm more a yogurt and fruit person. And not much into kale or vegetables in my fruit drinks. So just being honest. You can get kinda just fruit they will make really whatever.

So good, I ordered from Door Dash but called first to see what they recommended. Great recommendations, I really wish there was one close to my office because I would be a daily customer. Thank you!!

I have so many wonderful things to say about this place. Some absolutely amazing creative coffee drinks and smoothies. In-house made baked goods and other snacks. Top tier dog treats.
But the main draw is they have some of the friendliest and most down to earth baristas I've interacted with in this whole city. The owners are also a truly lovely married couple who cultivate an incredibly welcoming vibe. I live in the neighborhood and start almost every day here on my morning dog walk. Support local small businesses!
