50 Best Coffee Shops in Portland

“Love love love this place! Quality dishes with a creative flare. The shrimp omelet was my favorite, but the pandan wafffle and bowl were amazing too. Don't forget to try one of their tasty drinks! Salted foam pandan latte and hojicha latte were delicious.“

“Always a delight. Wonderful service — like seeing old friends — and some of the best espresso pulls in the city. They really, really know their coffee, and really, really care that you're getting quality roasts and flavor. Thank you for this fabulous service!“

“Five stars all the way! We’re in Portland for a long weekend and found this gem. The house coffee was exceptional — rich, smooth, and exactly what we needed to start our day.
The atmosphere was cozy and vibrant at the same time, and the service was top-notch. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Wonderful coffee in a peaceful, simple ambiance. They are confident in the boldness of their roasting profiles and geographies, including beans sourced from various parts of Asia. I was treated with warmth and care - this was a very memorable experience and I will absolutely return each time I visit Portland.“

“I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for about a year now, and it’s definitely become one of my go-to spots. At first, I was a little skeptical about their signature drink, the mole mocha—but after trying it, I was pleasantly surprised. It has such a unique flavor, and they balance it really well. It’s now one of my favorites.

The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. It has a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes it a great place to sit, read, or have a good conversation. I’ve spent a lot of time here doing exactly that, and it always feels welcoming.

One thing that really stands out is the service. There’s a guy who’s usually there who always greets me with kindness, and that consistency makes a difference. It adds a personal touch that you don’t always find.

Overall, I highly recommend this place—especially if it’s your first time visiting. Definitely give the mole mocha a try!“

“The owner Sam is the warmest start to anyone's day. He will remember your name, favorite drink, and ask how your wife's last work trip went. He honestly remembers everything and creates such a welcoming space. A one-man machine making excellent coffee, creating chia tea on the side, and somehow getting home with plenty of time to spend with his daughter. Big props to this business!“

“Best food and coffee I have ever had! Legit. I'm just passing through Portland and this will now be a staple stop for me each time I travel :-) Most excellent Service as well!“

“I ordered my Espresso machine and Grinder Clive and most of my experience has been great. Their chat service is very responsive and super helpful anytime I have a question. Only giving 4 stars since I'm having an issue with their point system where it is removing my points even though I didn't use them. They told me there are some errors happening on their end so hopefully that gets fixed soon.“

“The BEST lattes I’ve ever had. I crave the mocha. The cloud cream these guys make is chefs kiss. Have never found better!“

“It’s not on the online menu, but every time I have been there they have a vegan breakfast sandwich that is to die for… Just Egg, vegan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes on a ciabatta bun. Then I have a chai made with oat milk to go with it. A perfect way to start the day! They also have some vegan pastries, avocado toast, and a few other things that are vegan.

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“very Amazing service ❤️ and great environment you can also enjoy it in the shop ❤️“

“I love the neutrality. I’m somewhere in the middle and it’s nice to have a place not blasting there beliefs in your face. Will be stopping by this weekend.“

“I'm kicking myself for not discovering this hidden gem sooner! This breakfast and lunch spot delivers exceptional fresh food and genuinely warm, family-style service. The quality is truly outstanding, and the vibrant atmosphere makes any wait enjoyable. We loved cozying up to the window bar, watching the world go by while enjoying fresh coffee and browsing National Geographic and Mad Magazine. The food? It exceeded all expectations, both in presentation and flavor. And knowing the owner and his daughter are a hands-on team makes supporting them even more rewarding. A must-try!“

“As a visitor from South Carolina (aka Trumpistan), I am thrilled to know places like this establishment actually exist. We have no such refuges in my region. It’s so refreshing to mingle with people who value good drinks, good politics, and good society.
Thank you thank you for making my visit to Portland memorable.
Thank you for supporting and defending your community so well.
Thank you for just being good humans.
Solidarity!“

“Outstanding. Coffee alone is awesome. Coffee with a big helping of social responsibility and empathy? Exquisite.“

“Absolutely amazing I love it here!!!“

“Very pet friendly and community-hangout, leading in love supporting hardworking local independent business owners! Very clean, So green, & professional in between. The staff is very friendly and gracious. A must visit and reasonable prices too. Hope ya'll liked it as much as we did.“

“Absolutely amazing shop. It’s my go to coffee shop when I’m on campus.“

“Oh my gosh how freaking adorable. Go here. It's such a pinnacle and great representation of Portland Oregon.Thank you to the baristas, and the cashier that helped me.They were kind , helpful and efficient and effective. I'll be back. Also , some of the best mantra i've had since I came home.“

“Locally roasted Coffee with house Ice Cream. Love it. :-)“

“Randomly found this place and decided to stop in. They have recently moved and while looking confused was redirected to their new location less than a block down the road. What makes this place unique is that they have beer and wine available for sale too. There is also an outdoor patio and it looks like they may have music in the evenings. The barista was super friendly and while enjoying my horchata hot brew noticed numerous regulars and such a friendly vibe by all employees. Honestly the friendly and sincere service really makes this coffee shop stand out. Wouldn’t hesitate to stop in again soon.“

“Very cute coffee spot I got the Mexican mocha it was delicious, great little spot for meeting a client or to study :)“

“Slowbomb is on my regular rotation because they have great coffee and they know what to do with it. The breakfast sandwich menu makes this place a one stop shop in the morning. You can text your sandwich order in ahead of time to make your stop more efficient as well. Cookies and pup cups too!“

“Flew in from Austin and stopped at this little place on a whim. BEST DECISION, EVER!! Smooth, creamy and delicious! Thanks so much, ya’ll.“

“Safe and comfortable place to relax and work, when you need a place in a pinch to get some things done or just a place to unwind... nice find! Great staff... ALL VOLUNTEERS! Many businesses need to have their staff experience being served here, these people are volunteers and are respectful, cheerful, and nice; yet most paid servers here in Portland are not so respectful, cheerful, or nice, and are usually loudly complaining about their jobs. EASTSIDE COFFEE IS AWESOME!“

“Classic 90s style coffee house that has good coffee, always has decaf drip brewed, yummy snacks and panini sandwiches, and good atmosphere for hanging out with friends, reading, or studying! Plus, staff is always friendly and helpful with navigating food sensitivities (will look up ingredients, make helpful suggestions). Can’t give this place enough props!“

“I love Oak Street Coffee. Michelle is so friendly and everything she makes and sells is fantastic. Her homemade caramels are SO delicious, it will make you never want to order a flavored Starbucks coffee again by comparison.“

“Discovered living in the Boise neighborhood. Long since moved but still a staple I come back to again and again. Anytime I get to choose the cafe on an outing, Euko is always my number 1 pick. The flavors of the coffee and syrups are divine. Will not disappoint. The owner and barista try to remember every customer that walks in. Definitely a community treasure.“

“A true gem. Incredible coffee and a downright dope collection of locally screenprinted, USA-made clothing and excellent in-house roasted beans. In a world that's increasingly AI generated, treat yourself to food & goods that are human-made through and through.“

“I love snow bunny, I've been in town for a while now and it's definitely the chillest spot in my area. Excellent service and atmosphere :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My Amber Latte was to die for and I loved my vegetable bagel sandwich!! A lovely atmosphere to visit, chat, and shop from. Oh and the staff are wonderful as well 💗“

“Every time I come here, I leave in a better mood& that’s all thanks to Jo! She’s the sweetest, bubbliest barista you’ll ever meet, always greeting you with a genuine smile and making you feel like a friend instead of just a customer. Not only does she make amazing coffee, but she somehow manages to brighten my entire day with her kindness and energy. The world needs more people like her!! 💓“

“Tastes as good as it smells! Yum one of our favorites. Who thinks Starbucks when you have Spella!“

“Small batch single origin coffees. Fantastic coffee drinks!!“

“Great atmosphere. Busy but comfortable with mix of people doing meetings, socializing and even meeting up with other parents and their small children.

Coffee and service was top notch. Brilliant morning use of beautiful space.“

“These guys have the most amazing Boba Tea selection and exceptional customer service. Their drinks have the perfect balance of flavor punchiness, creaminess, crunchy surprises, and their boba pearls are made in house right in front of you. Our fave is the classic Taiwanese Boba Tea. ❤😋“

“Matta Café Bar has become one of my favorite spots in NW. The atmosphere is warm and thoughtfully designed — cozy without feeling crowded, elevated but still relaxed.

I love coming here to sit and get some work done or meet a friend to catch up. It’s the kind of place where you can actually stay awhile.

The ownership is genuinely so kind & welcoming, and you can feel the care behind the space.

Their matcha is consistently excellent — smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. And the empanadas are always SO good.

Such a solid neighborhood staple.“

“I love this spot. No matter what your drink is, it’s gonna be banging, curated with care, and thoughtfully presented. The owner Bryce really loves what he does and you can feel that ripple through the space and through the attitudes and hospitality of the people on his team. Really glad to have this shop in my city“

“The people in the atmosphere and the location and the food and everything is just amazing. I love Matcha is amazing here sometimes I have trouble finding a great Matcha but these guys always have a great Matcha and a little snack foods are amazing and they always taste so wonderful and I just love coming in here“

“absolutely delicious, and very different from your average Portland cafe. they've got all glass exterior walls which brings in the light from outside, but it's super well lit inside without being overwhelming. and the baristas were both excellent, and quick too!

I ordered a pistachio milk (!?) mocha, and the barista who made it asked if i wanted the morrocan spice on it...
ya'll. get the morrocan spice on it. it was an absolutely divine experience; i've never had pistachio milk before, so the whole thing was an experience on first sip. i also got a veggie biscuit (for $5!! in downtown?!) which was also incredible, and came out piping hot which is exactly what i needed on this cold morning.

i will definitely be back here. it's dangerous that I will be in the area twice a week!“

“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.“

“This is a beautiful and sacred place. You feel the positive vibes as soon as you come through the door and up the stairs. Holland and the rest of the staff are very friendly. The kava, teas and cacao are amazingly delicious.“

“This cute little spot is very hip (in the black metal seating and minimalism decor sort of way), very cute. I got the famed marionberry poptart which lived up to the hype. I got a season pistachio drink that ended up being a little too sweet for my taste (I was told it was slightly sweet but was surprised when it was full blown). Latte art was beautiful. The barista was wonderfully helpful and gave a full rundown of the offerings. This is not a work in a coffee shop sort of cafe. The tables are small yet cute. Better to plan for a short visit.“

“My Heart still aches from missing this place. I moved out of Portland almost 2 years ago, and still dream about this place. Safe to say no coffee shop in Missouri can hold a candle to this institution, miss you guys and hope you are doing well!“

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“LOVE the staff and great drinks!“

“Tasty sweets and treats. Quality coffee, super service, and inviting decor! Unique to say the least.“

“This Woodstock gem is the only lasting foundation of old Woodstock (and maybe the Lutz tavern from way back?). Took my kids here in the 90's when they were little... Gave up coffee for a long while and recently returned for their wonderfully made 2 shot 12 oz cappuccino. A dash of cinnamon powder and all is right in this crazy world for a little while. The day the cashier/barista/o knew what I was going to order when it was my turn was practically the highlight of my year (along with other delightful ones, but this was really cool)! I couldn't wait to tell my now 30 something kiddos (the ones who ran around the place as toddlers) that I'm practically enough of a regular that they knew what I was going to order, made me fit to burstin'. And so yes, thank you Pappacino's for being a solid mainstay, 3rd space gathering place for the neighborhood. I always get my drink to go, but love seeing people sitting around tables chatting in groups or reading the paper or a book in the comfy chairs. Why don't these stars go to 11?“

“Excellent customer service!!! Large selection of beverages, breakfast sandwiches and muffins. Very efficient baristas taking excellent care of drive through customers. Need a burger fix? Hit the Spot food cart is in the same parking lot!!!!“
