So, I went to this place called Forte Portland just to check it out. I ended up getting a coffee, but it was completely silent in there. Not a single person was around, which was kind of relaxing, I guess. There's a piano there, but no one was playing it. And get this, the person working the counter was practically asleep when I walked up. I'm guessing it's not exactly a popular place during the day. Maybe it turns into a nice bar or something later at night.

When in Portland this is my favorite place to come get work done. Great coffee and muffins, they have a quiet spot for you to get work done, lobby is beautiful, and most Saturdays its quiet so you can study or work in peace.
Went during their less busy time of day. Awesome servors, I was greeted with, and departed with, his smile ever-present which makes a big difference in terms of the all around vibe and one's own ability to let their hair down and fully relax. Definitely would recommend this joint!

First time in I just ordered a glass of wine and before I finished, two people totally independent of each other came in and dropped off presents to the owners. "Birthday?" I asked. "No. It's just that our regulars are the greatest." Greatest people watching cafe in downtown Portland. I laid up for a month across the street and this staff had the best Oregon-chill attitude I experienced. As a former-Portland resident who was there before we became too famous; the founders of this unique place are PortlandThroughAndThrough; these folks hosted traveling folk singer and when asked what's up with him they said "I hope it's good music. I do know he is a cool dude." THATS old school PORTLAND.

This is the BEST COFFEE SHOP in all of Portland!AMAZING drinks, decor & ambiance, soft classy music you'll almost want to dance to on the open floor, separate cool table areas, loads of privacy -distanced sitting areas, SHUFFLE BOARD, all the flavors for coffee, I think that's a business catering area room.. business classy yet also CASUAL!

I love this coffee shop. It’s relaxed, spacious, the coffee menu and light food offerings are delicious, and the service is always welcoming and friendly. It’s also a wine bar!
