“One of the best brunches in recent memory. Super flavorful and creative food, very reasonably priced for the huge portions. Shrimp omelet was fire - highly recommend, along with salted pandan matcha. Want to try everything else on this menu!“

“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.“

“The cafe de olla was delicious, and the owner is so sweet! Very tastefully decorated, with lots of plants and a calming green/light teal color scheme. Ideal for getting work done or socializing. I'll make sure to visit whenever I'm in Portland.“

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

“Popped in here while waiting for the plant store to open, and I'm so glad we did. Sam was welcoming and helpful. The drink selection was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. It was obvious the amount of effort and love that go into every drink. Easily my new favorite coffee shop.“

“LOVE the staff and great drinks!“

“I’ve been coming here since it opened and believe it’s by far the best place for coffee in SW and might be the best coffee spot in all of Portland. Joe and staff are all very nice and welcoming every time. I love their cortados and Matcha Lattes. And the large cozy space is perfect for meeting up and working on a laptop. It’s light and bright with lots of windows and some outdoor seating as well. The have a great selection of various coffee makers for sale and delicious pastries. A gift to the area!“

“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“

“This is the best coffee shop I have found in the Woodstock Area!! The scones are amazing. I love the coffee. They serve on cute china. They don't have a tip section when paying with a card. The staff person assured me that they really have a living wage and health insurance. They do have a tip jar that some customers insist on. I don't usually carry cash.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch. You have to be “buzzed” in since there are some shady characters in the area. We ordered the BLTA and Pearl sandwich (I think that was the name, it has apple, marmalade, sourdough and turkey). Both were very delicious! They came with chips and a pickle on the side. The sourdough is very good toasted and the flavors are awesome together. I did feel bad for the barista/cook since she was the only person making all the drinks, taking orders at the counter and cooking.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Bastion Coffee (down the street) sent me here for a darker roast option since they don’t offer one. The Albina barista gave me the perfect guidance and I got exactly what I was looking for in the 8 ounce latte. Nice strong coffee presence, not drowning in dairy. Add the super oatie banana muffin and I couldn’t be happier! Not too sweet, just all around deliciousness.“

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

“Absolutely amazing I love it here!!!“

“We had an amazing lunch there. Great beers, fun atmosphere. Highly recommend checking out for a happy good time“

“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.“

“this is a great neighborhood for coffee! no preference is a nice place to work remotely, staff and owner are always super nice, and the lattes are unique and delicious. the ginger coffee is an unsung hero, and when it’s busy there’s usually a dog or two in line.“

“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.“

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

“My friend Julius just introduced me to Drip Drop Coffee. This place is Great! I love that this place is a black owned business. And run by young black men. The crowd was so diverse in here it was great! All colors and all ages.
The food, service, cleanliness and kindness here is amazing! Marcus and his team really enjoy and love what they do! You can tell by how the food is prepared and drinks are made. My friend had a Dude sandwich which looked so yummy! Two small waffles with egg and cheese in between. I think a sausage patty too. My friend's daughter had a hot chocolate and my friend had a coffee as well. It was pretty crowded so we had to wait for a few to sit down. But totally worth it. Parking is available on the streets right next to it and there is a paid parking garage as well right next to it. I will definitely be back!! Thank you Marcus and team for your kindness, hospitality, great food and service!“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in Portland. Baristas are always kind, and I enjoy the atmosphere especially on quiet mornings. Hands down the best mocha in the city, and they have some of the best latte art I've seen as well. Very creative individuals working on bar. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

“My GOSHHH!!! So good!
I had an egg dish with injera for brunch and it was perfect. Spicy, nicely seasoned made with fresh ingredients. Incredible!

And the avocado smoothie was really good with all natural ingredients. No ice, no powder. Just avocados and a really nice red syrup that’s not too sweet. FYI, it’s not a normal American smoothie. It’s not cold with lots of ice.“

“Delicious fresh seasonal gelato!😋“

“Rob is the owner and he's the best. You cannot find a better sandwich. In Portland if you are looking for some serious comfort food sandwiches, like Italians, tuna melts, grilled cheese sandwich, New York paninis, you name it, he has it. He loves making sandwiches. And it shows by the quality of food that he puts into. Every sandwich you cannot leave without having some type of memory that just fills your heart with joy.Coffee's good smoothies are good.I highly recommend rob's sandwich anytime you have an opportunity to go. He also does breakfast sandwiches as well.“

“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!“

“Day or night this place is awesome“

“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.“

“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 :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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!! 💓“

“I first came across this cafe on Google Maps and was immediately drawn to its aesthetic and decor. When I visited in person, it definitely lived up to expectations. The space is very spacious, and I especially love that they open the doors during the summer, creating great airflow between the indoor and outdoor areas and making the whole cafe feel bright and inviting.

One thing that initially surprised me was the price of the latte. At $7, it’s noticeably more expensive than many other coffee shops, where a plain latte is often around $4–6. However, I later realized that alternative milks and additional syrups are included at no extra charge, which makes the pricing feel more reasonable if you like customizing your drinks.

The latte itself was quite good, and the overall atmosphere is really beautiful and relaxing. There are also a few conveniently located outlets, making it a solid place to work or study. The Wi-Fi was stable during my visit, and there was plenty of room to spread out with a laptop and other devices.

Around lunchtime, it can get a bit busier as people come in for food, but even then, it still feels like a comfortable and chill place to spend time. The spacious layout definitely helps prevent it from feeling overcrowded.

My only real criticism is that I wish the drink menu were a little more diverse. While the coffee was good, I’d love to see more variety and unique beverage options. Overall, though, it’s a beautiful, spacious cafe with a great atmosphere, reliable Wi-Fi, and a pleasant environment for both working and relaxing.“

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

“I stumbled in on accident on a day I happened to be really overstimulated and just being here felt physically calming. Mellow, positive music, nice variety of pockets to sit in, really tasty dream iced coffee, low lighting mixed with natural.

It’s just so peaceful“

“Met up with a friend at Wallflower Coffee on SE Division. The space is bright, colorful, and full of plants, which made it a fun place to hang out and catch up. There are plenty of seating options, so we had no trouble finding a spot.

The coffee was good, the staff were friendly, and there was easy street parking nearby.

Overall, just a great neighborhood coffee shop with a welcoming vibe. Enjoy!“

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

“My favorite coffee in St. John’s!“

“Great service and delicious smoothies!! Yummy. Sweet and comfy hangout too😍“

“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!“

“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.“

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