50 Best Coffee Shops in Portland

“I ordered the shrimp omelet, and it had a unique Vietnamese twist- something I’ve never tried before. The flavor combination was so special and surprisingly delightful.
I highly recommend this dish, especially with their signature ginger sauce. So comforting and flavorful. 🦐🍳

Paired with a warm cup of coffee, it was the kind of brunch that quietly makes your day better.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in Portland. Highlighted by a delicious signature blend “Blendo Stupendo” and excellent service. I enjoy the fact that they memorize your appearance and bring your order directly to you, even if you’re taking it to-go.

I consistently have an amazing cup here, which is very important to me. Consistency, professional, friendliness and good vibes are found at Sterling.“

“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.“

“This is an excellent little spot for a coffee. The baristas are passionate about specialty coffee and matcha. Not only did they make me a phenomenal flat white, but we also had a great chat about a pour over brewer I was interested in trying at home.“

“Love the mini pankakes and my happiness cold !“

“Visiting from out of state and found this place to get my caffeine fix. Sam was so sweet, it's easy to tell that he enjoys what he's doing. I got the smoked butterscotch and baklava lattes and both were delicious! The whole place was so chill, if I was a local I'd definitely be a regular and maybe even set myself up in a comfy corner to read or study 😊.“

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

“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!“

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

“Just purchased my third machine from the good people at Clive. My first experience with a lever machine, the Profitec Pro 800.
Looked at many different machines, but honestly, I would not even consider purchasing a machine from somebody else, not only because their proximity to where I live, but because of the excellent support that I have received over the years from the sales people and the tech support. Outstanding. Having that kind of support makes purchasing a sometimes finicky product that espresso machines can be, much less of a concern.
Thanks, Clive for the many years of excellent service!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 💗“

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

“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!! 💓“

“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.“

“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 :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Euko has such a good vibe. The coffee is high quality and always tastes great, and the staff are genuinely kind and helpful. The space is beautiful without trying too hard, and everything feels intentional. It’s the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.“

“My goodness was this place yummy. Visited from out of state, and just so happened to see this place a quick drive from our Airbnb, and man did this place not disappoint! The coffee was spectacular and omg the breakfast sandwich was to die for“

“I was looking for a good chai and saw this place was recommended. Not only was my chai very good but I got a berry pop-tart pastry and it was amazing! The baristas were so cheerful too. I will be going back to this place.“

“This cafe is the tits, love the basement dungeon workspace, the quirky, sassy baristas, and the delish coffee. And not to show my white half but this cafe has the best PSL in the biz. Highly recommend going if you like things that are good.“

“This chill little coffee place is a gem in the Old Town Portland area. Plenty of seating, delicious coffee (Mole Mocha is :: chef's kiss::) and excellent service (met the owner!) Highly recommend. Just don't share your coffee with the cat.“

“Never tried Moroccan coffee before, I got a cold and a hot, I liked it! The service here was excellent, extremely friendly people that made me feel welcome the second I opened the door. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was a delicious and the prices were great. What more could you ask for?“

“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. ❤😋“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!!!“

“LOVE the staff and great drinks!“

“Some darn good espresso. There is a blend and a single origin on espresso. SO happened to be from Kenya today. 4.25, no extra surcharges for SO. Extremely happy with the shot! Nice yield and presentation. Recognizably taste like Heart, flavor is smooth but plenty of well-separated clean acidity to enjoy.“

“Extracto roasts and brews fantastic coffee, and I love that they deliver beans for free to the surrounding neighborhoods.“

“Really comfortable place. People playing board games, studying, chatting, it’s not a third wave coffee shop, but the coffee is good and the vibes are cozy… Somehow those coffee shops with immaculate aesthetics and pristine interiors seem to miss the mark on the function of a coffee shop as a relaxed gathering place for people from all walks of life.“

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

“Pretty solid coffee with lots of fancy flavor options to choose from as well. I did not get to try the banh mi as I came in at 7 AM and was very likely the first person in.

I did try the donuts and while they weren’t terrible, They weren’t exactly what I expected when I see the word donut. They were dense and smooth and cool temp wise, lol I really can’t think of anything to compare them with!

The black sesame coffee was absolutely delicious, but there was a ton of grits left at the bottom of the cup.“

“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.“

“We have really enjoyed this coffee every morning! Breakfast choices are great too! Easy to get to. Yumm!!“
