About Courier Coffee

Courier Coffee is a popular coffee shop in Portland, known for its world-class coffee, delicious yogurt-oat muffins, and special sushi offerings. The shop is run by spouses, with one managing the coffee and the other the Japanese food. Customers usually find a short line to order and might wait a bit for limited seating on weekends. The fresh pastries, excellent espresso drinks, and cozy, eclectic atmosphere make it a great place to visit, especially for those exploring nearby Powell's bookstore. The shop roasts beans daily off-site but locally, maintaining high quality. Visitors appreciate the chill vibe, natural light, and friendly baristas, making it a perfect spot for journaling or people-watching. The cappuccinos are well-loved for their perfect balance and foam, often enjoyed with a house pastry. The shaved ice, a large serving at $13, is delicate, layered, and gently sweetened—great for sharing and savoring the flavors. Courier Coffee is a Portland staple that has thrived through innovation and effort, remaining a favorite for locals and visitors alike.
