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.“

“Excellent coffee, consistently every time. I'm from out of town but I always get a cup when I visit Portland. The baked goods are excellent as well.

What really sets this place apart though is it seems like the staff are all very happy. They work together like a well oiled machine, greeting people by name when they come in and laughing and joking. It's nice to see a place feel sweet and homey, all while drinking some of the finest coffee I've had in Portland.“

“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!“

“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!“

“They were informative and helpful when it came to picking my machine and grinder, but more than that, their service after the sale is second to none! Highly recommend their services! 10/10“

“Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Portland. (I worked in coffee for 10+ years so that’s sayin something.)

The staff is always exceptionally sweet and warm, even on busy mornings! The line can get a bit long— especially on weekends, but they’re generally really quick and efficient.

You can trust that every pastry and drink will be made with exceptional quality. My favorite pastries are the zucchini bread and cinnamon rolls (must arrive early on the weekends for those)!

Everything Keeper does is done with absolute excellence. I’ve never had a bad experience here, but I know that if I did, they’d make it right. I bring all my friends here for a reason. Best atmosphere, best people, best coffee, best treats. Love u, Keeper!“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

“There are a lot of hard working people keeping this a safe place to engage with others. Expect tea, coffee, drafts, and good company. 👍👍👍

The new porch is great to hang out on and the back porch is also nice and cozy. There is a library upstairs that has some great literature.“

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

“Absolutely amazing I love it here!!!“

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

“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!“

“Small place, but fun decor and incredible food. A ton of Studio Ghibli, Pokémon, and a few other anime decor all over. Small bar and 1 table for seating. The staff was very nice, but you order from a tablet at the register. All credit/debit, no cash.

One detail was a little off-putting. You need to ring a door bell to be let in to the restaurant due to security. Not a deal breaker for us, but kind of a bummer. Tablet ordering helps you to see what is available, but the staff sits behind the counter and waits for you to make your decisions. A little disappointing, but again, not a deal breaker.

If you like cutesy anime, this place is for you“

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

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

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this off-the-path hidden gem. Fantastic drinks (clearly I’m a matcha fan), cozy vibe with comfortable seating, used books for sale, a game shelf, wonderful staff, delicious fresh-baked pastries, ice cream, and Cathedral-roasted coffee beans! The owners are genuine, kind & welcoming; the kind of business you want to support. Great place to meet friends, get some work done, or treat yourself to a peaceful afternoon. We are lucky to have this treasure in Scappoose.“

“Had breakfast at Highland Spice Ethiopian Coffee Shop and it was a great experience! The coffee was rich, authentic, and full of flavor—exactly what you’d hope for from an Ethiopian spot. The food was fresh and delicious, with generous portions and unique spices that really stood out.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy a quality breakfast or coffee. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different and truly satisfying.“

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

“Day or night this place 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!“

“Rob is great. One of the most friendly people. This sold me.. The breakfast sammies are also one of the best I have ever had.. the coffee was awesome, He made sure to ask all the questions and genuinely cared about our interest and how we wanted the coffee. This was an outstanding experience so much so that we had to come back a second day.“

“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 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 :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Truly home away from home. I was invited in with a warm greeting and a beautiful smile. I ordered lamb tibs and it was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend this awesome Ethiopian Cafe for those seeking an adventure out of ordinary. You will not be disappointed!! Sending love and blessing you way Miki Ethiopian Cafe!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by Drip Drop Coffee in Portland on our trip into the city and I’m really glad we did. The barista made an amazing cortado — seriously impressive latte art. Friendly, talented staff and the whole place had great vibes. Perfect spot whether you go alone for a quiet coffee or meet up with someone. Definitely worth a stop.“

“My favorite coffee in St. John’s!“

“I bounce between coffee and espresso and it's always good. Nice ambiance and plenty of pet friends to say hi to outside“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. ❤😋“

“Back in 2016, when it was still Dapper & Wise, I was a barista here, and it’s where I met my now fiancée for the first time. She walked in the day she was signing a lease just down the block.

This past November, I came back to what’s now Wallflower Coffee to propose to her. I reached out to Joel, the owner, just a few days beforehand, and even though we had never met, he was immediately on board. He opened the shop after hours, set up lights, created an amazing atmosphere, and even had champagne ready for us. He was even kind enough to coordinate with my old coworker (shout out to Maxine!) to take some terrific photos of the moment for us. He clearly cares about what this place means to people, and that shows in how he runs the shop; welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely involved with the community.

On top of that, it’s just a great coffee shop. Really good coffee, a comfortable place to work or study, and an all-around good vibe. Cortado is always TOP-tier.

This place will always be special to us. Can’t recommend it enough. Thanks again, Joel.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I go in to get hot coffee, cold brew or blended drinks. The staff are just the sweetest people. They remember my order and even my name. Ovation is my favorite coffee shop. I haven’t tried a lot of the food, but the Spinach Feta croissant and the egg salad sandwich are standouts.“

“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.“
