I tried the iced vanilla latte and the breakfast burrito. The coffee was great—smooth and flavorful. I had my hopes up for the burrito, but it was a letdown. It only had chorizo, eggs, and potatoes—none of the other ingredients the menu mentioned, like onions or roasted tomatoes. If they were in there, I couldn’t taste them.
The burrito was also tiny. With those fillings, I expected something more substantial, and for $6.50, it just wasn’t worth it. It felt like a bit of a rip-off.
That said, I’d definitely go back for the coffee if I ever need a quick fix.

I’ve been curious to try Nova for quite some time. I just hasn’t been right in the neighborhood until last weekend. My drink (iced latte) was delicious, speedily made, and served by friendly staff! The dog friendly vibes also made my day.

I came in because I got to work wayyy too early and it was cold out. I was negative today and I asked if I could use the space for a while without buying a coffee. Samantha said no but I could order a coffee off of the pay it forward list then I could stay. So I picked one and got a free coffee from someone who paid it forward and the barista was so sweet. I am for sure coming here from now on because that was such a great interaction. Samantha is super friendly! Plus the coffee is great!!! Well priced as well.

Possibly the slowest coffee in town when more than 2 people are in line. Good coffee and atmosphere though if it’s empty.

Meh. I was hoping I could find a diamond hidden in the rough but was disappointed. My white chocolate mocha was ready surprisingly quick (too quick?), and tasted just like frothed milk. Bummer.

Cool spot! I had a golden latte in the afternoon and did some reading. Lots of seating, friendly staff, good spot to work, and big beautiful windows. 👍

Nova Coffee in Portland is a true gem! The space is bright, modern, and inviting-perfect for relaxing or getting work done. Their coffee is consistently excellent, with each drink crafted to perfection, from rich lattes to balanced pour-overs. Seasonal offerings add a fun and creative twist to the menu, and the locally sourced pastries are a perfect pairing. The friendly, knowledgeable baristas and the welcoming atmosphere make every visit a treat.

The matcha latte was so weak, it tasted like just hot milk and water. The coffee tasted sour and bitter

Ordered two vanilla lattes, they tasted somehow identical or worse than McDonald’s coffee. Such a burnt strong bad taste- the barista was very rude and when I said “have a good day” they said “okay bye” Which is just insanely rude. You can’t serve bad coffee and be rude. Got there at around 2pm but person working was clearly trying to close up shop, even though the sign said they close at 5. Honestly I go to so many coffee shops and I’m so confused as to why my coffee tastes so bad !

Can't say enough good things about this place. Server actually cared about every person who came in the door. Great pastries and coffee.
