50 Best Coffee Shops in Portland

“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.“

“the la María burrito is amazing the salsas are good the coffee is strong and flavourful even though my order came through between morning and afternoon meat prep they had it ready really quickly“

“I was driving from Seattle to San Francisco and could only choose one of Portland’s amazing coffee shops to try, and I’m so lucky I chose PDX.

Firstly, Sid is an outstanding guy. He spent time explaining all the different beans, I tried a sip of their drip coffee, then got both of the espressos they had to try. I find that a pure espresso shot that tastes good, not burnt or over extracted is extremely rare in North America. At other places, time and time again I’ve gotten it and been disappointed.

But at PDX, the coffee is simply outstanding. The espresso was pulled perfectly by Sid and the beans are top tier. You can taste all the flavor notes while chilling in their calm and fun atmosphere.

Whether you live in the beautiful city of Portland or you’re just passing through, if you can only have coffee at one place, make it PDX. It’s the spot for coffee purists.“

“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.“

“Cool little spot for great breakfast and brunch menu. All the food was bursting with flavors. The congregation was sp flavorful and the spicy kick was so delicious. Pork belly on the panda waffle was scrumptious too. Pork belly was cooked perfectly, nice and tender too.“

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

“Really enjoyed my experience here! The coffee was good, and the customer service was pleasant and welcoming. I absolutely loved the presentation, and the almond croissant was to die for! 🥐☕

The space was super cozy and inviting—especially perfect for a rainy day. Definitely a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a coffee and pastry!“

“Phenomenal service - Sam (the owner) has built such a warm, welcoming environment and is beloved by the community.

The quality of coffee and tea is excellent, and there is a rotating menu of fun and unique drink options.

And the space itself has great light and high ceilings, it’s tastefully decorated, and the seating has cozy options and tables for doing work. The shop is part of the larger Rockwood food hall with lots of seating and great food options.

Neo is a must if you’re in the area - thank you Sam!“

“We had questions about a few of their many exciting coffee drink offerings, and the owner/server kindly suggested one he thought we’d like. His recommendation (a toasted sesame option) was spot on! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the coffee is outstanding. Their room is spacious and quiet—even during a well-attended arts festival nearby. I’m so happy we discovered this place!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The staff were incredibly nice, and the coffee was good! Bright, modern space with lots of windows. It was busy during my visit, with limited seating and quite a bit of noise. Wi-Fi was around 3 Mbps, and the bungee cord chairs weren’t as comfortable as they looked. I prefer quieter, cozier coffee shops, but I suspect I’d enjoy this place more when it’s less crowded.“

“The high quality speciality coffee, and drinks really stand out on their own. But the lively atmosphere here, the modern aesthetics matched with friendly staff makes for a really memorable experience. It’s hard to stand out as a coffee shop these days, but I think this place does. I had no expectations at first but it’s in walking distance from my place and so I’m surprised it’s such a winner. They have these perfume like bottles where you can smell sample the coffee you want before you order it. I thought that was brilliant and fun!“

“LOVE the staff and great drinks!“

“My favorite coffee in St. John’s!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Unique experience to have the Vietnamese iced coffee and a onion tofu bhan mi for breakfast. It was my first time having this beverage so I can only say it was refreshing, bold and sweet in a good way. The Bhan Mi was a very generous size, the tofu had alot of flavor and the baguette was a star.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious fresh seasonal gelato!😋“

“The best coffee, setting, and baristas! Home also of the rare and incomparable chicken pot pie. When they make it, run right over — quit your job, break the rules of the road, release your children into nature to fend for themselves (they’ll do just fine). Nothing else matters when there is 🐔 🫕 🥧“

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

“One of the best coffee shops in Portland. Excellent coffee, consistently wonderful people that work there (professional, kind, helpful, friendly) and a vibe that manages to be cozy, comfortable and cool (couches, window seating, tons of real plants and natural light, quirky wallpaper) while also having enough seating to create a white noise background that makes it easy to work for an hour or two. Can’t recommend highly enough! A real Portland gem“

“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.“

“Love this place! Food is delicious and I like to get their skillet breakfasts. Clean and everyone is very friendly!“

“If you live or work in Oldtown Chinatown and you’ve been sleeping on Monte Rossa, it’s time to get your butt down here. Incredible cappuccinos, extremely fair pricing, and Rob treats the community with an epic amount of kindness. My favorite is stopping by the shop on a rainy cold day in winter and leaving with a smile and a strong cup of coffee. ☕“

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

“Albina Press is one of those Portland coffee shops that has a genuine neighborhood feel. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the coffee is excellent, and it’s a great place to slow down and enjoy a cup without the rushed feeling of a big chain. I especially like the simple, laid-back character of the space—it feels authentically Portland. Definitely a coffee shop worth checking out and one I’d happily visit again!“

“As a coffee-shop goer for working remotely in different spaces, I've been here a few times to get some work done and can't recommend enough! The vibes and people are always amazing, the music is great (not too loud and good taste in tunes). Big fan of the vegan waffle sandwich - and their drinks have never missed for me. You can taste how well made everything is!“

“I've been going here for about 5 years now & frankly I don't know why i am just now deciding to write a review.

Red E embodies everything about The coffee shop experience that drew me to work in coffee myself 2 decades ago (and I still do!)

The space is very reminiscent of the late 90s, early 00s coffee houses where art, community & alt culture blossomed and thrived & I always feel very nostalgic and uplifted by this place.

I adore the crew here & every regular & adorable dog ive chatted with over the years.... Thank you, Red E for keeping the culture alive, not selling out to some conglomerate capitalist nonsense & pulling some of the best espresso shots in the PNW.

You've got a friend in me & an enthusiast for as long as your doors are open!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing I love it here!!!“

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

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

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

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

“Day or night this place is awesome“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We found Nossa Familia Coffe while searching for local shops with Swiss Water Process decaf coffee. It was really good. I bought a bag of it and plan to make it stronger than what they serve. The strength (weaker than what I prefer) of it is my only slight complaint. The flavor was lovely and I couldn't detect any acidity. Silky smooth americano. My kiddo got matching and husband got a spicy mocha drink. Everyone enjoyed their beverages. We frequent Portland and would definitely return and recommend to others.“

“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.“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love their meadow- herbal! So delicious and relaxing“
