Very crowded. There was hardly any space to sit. The person who took my order was a little condescending. I had a mocha that hardly tasted of chocolate, but the quiche was delicious.

It’s not on the online menu, but every time I have been there they have a vegan breakfast sandwich that is to die for… Just Egg, vegan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes on a ciabatta bun. Then I have a chai made with oat milk to go with it. A perfect way to start the day! They also have some vegan pastries, avocado toast, and a few other things that are vegan.

12oz drip coffee was 4.75. Was expecting it to be great for the price but tasted like “hotel coffee” disappointment in quality for price.

This place is a breath of fresh air. Bright, airy, popular, with lots of places to sit and enjoy the coffee shop atmosphere. When I paid for my latte there was no tip screen, which was a refreshing change of pace. It actually MADE me want to tip rather than feel forced into an interaction I did not ask for. The lavender latte I got was actually delicious, something I haven't run into in a while. For a coffee town a lot of coffee placed don't know how to make good espresso. Highly recommend!

Portland favorite. Great coffee, even better pastries (get the galette, heated).
I wouldn’t dare go on the weekend between 9-11:30…you’re waiting in line for 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for them to make your coffee. Coava coffee is served at 90% of Portland cafes, so you can get the same drink almost anywhere else.
Any other time or weekday though, you’ll be fine.
Fruit danish is also great, but in the winter they change it to pumpkin and it’s just not good imo — it makes the flavor super dense and the dries out the croissant. It’s like eating peanut butter in a croissant, just sticks to your mouth and needs a different texture.
I love this place, can’t wait for the second location to open.
Edit: Okay, I’ve loved this place for years. BUT. In the past few months I’ve gotten the galette (my fave pastry in town) and it appears to no longer have mascarpone. There used to be a bed of fresh cream below the fruit (first pic) and now it’s just tart fruit with no cream (second pic). But maybe I just got a bad batch.
After doing some research before flying into PDX for a father/daughter trip this little coffee shop came highly recommended and I can see why. Its everything anyone could possibly want in a local corner coffee and pastry shop! Quaint and cozy and obviously very popular as we went in mid week on a Wednesday around 930/10 and it was full inside. Fortunately didnt have to deal with any long lines but even of there were it would be so worth it. Friendly baristas and everyone behind the counter also seemed happy and pleasant. My daughter settled on an iced oat milk latte, I had a mocha, and we split a marionberry galette and some zucchini bread. Both coffees were amazing (the iced latte was smooth and refreshing and the mocha was rich but not overly sweet (perfect) and loved loved loved the marionberry pastry!!! Loved the area and the vibe inside and wouldnt hesitate to come back again. Wish there were more places like this back in SoCal however its just not the same without this fantastic cool, wet, and foggy fall PDX weather which I love!

simply one of the best cafes in portland! absolutely everything here is perfect - from the staff, to the pastries, to the skills of the baristas, to the seasonal drinkies. i absolutely adore this business and will come to get a coffee & pastry every time i have a little splurge money. it’s a little on the pricey side but it’s worth every penny. there’s included gratuity and i usually still tip on top because everything is SO good! they offer great vegan options , too. the fresh focaccia sandwiches changed my life. the rose pistachio cookies are one of my favorite treats ever. i could go on and on… i love this place 💌
