Portland Coffee Roasting—now this is a place that knows how to treat coffee with a bit of respect. They keep it simple, but they keep it good. The coffee is smooth, balanced, and doesn’t have that over-roasted, charcoal edge you get from certain big chains. You can tell they care about the quality, from the beans they source to the way they roast.
The atmosphere is relaxed, nothing flashy, just a solid spot to sit down and enjoy a genuinely good cup of coffee. Plus, they’re big on sustainability, which you can appreciate if you like your coffee with a side of conscience. It’s not the cheapest cup you’ll find, but it’s worth it if you want coffee that actually tastes like coffee.

This review is for the location inside the terminal which is conveniently not on google maps. Don’t be deceived by the shorter line. It’s not worth it. I knew that PCR used a crematorium to roast their beans, but it is worse than I remembered. Companies dark roast their beans because they are hiding how crappy they are. Hands down worst coffee in Portland. Only buy if you are okay with caffeinated char. And no, I don’t want to be upsold a plastic bottle of water at 6am.

I went to the cute Portland Coffee Roasters stand in the airport. I love that this roaster is an option in PDX because I get sick of seeing Starbucks and Dutch Bros, though I know they are popular. The stand is cute and has great options.
I ordered a 1/2 sweet vanilla latte and bagel with cream cheese. They were super fast in getting this ready for me. The bagel was great and beautifully toasted. Really hit the spot. The vanilla latte however was not. Some of it could be me, as I really don't like my lattes that sweet. It did not taste half sweet and was really unsatisfactory. Could have been a fluke, but it was a bummer, especially being in an airport where that would really elevate the flying experience.

I was happy to see there was an option for coffee at the end of the C Terminal. Friendly service, good coffee, reasonable prices. You can not do much better!

$3.50 for a 16oz drip coffee so can’t complain. It was good and the line was shorter than Stumptown and Starbucks.

I just had to try as soon as I saw craft coffee at PDX airport during Labor Day weekend! All of the baristas were super friendly and my matcha latte came out very quickly! I really liked it and I’m glad I was able to experience Portland Coffee Roasters!

Employees are are great but man I hate this place, you won’t give us PDX employees a discount on your overpriced generic coffee even tho EVERY other restaurant/shop in the airport does. To make it even worse you’ve ran out of your Hot coffee on MULTIPLE occasions, what kind of coffee shop runs out of freaking COFFEE??!!
Hot mocha was good. The Mocha frappe was tasty and worth the price. The Oregon Marionberry scones were a good size and reasonably priced.
They heated up the Lumberjack breakfast sandwich which makes a difference from purchasing pre-packaged meals in the airport.
Friendly staff!
Dietary restrictions: I didn’t partake, but I saw vegan and vegetarian options. I don’t think there are vegetarian sandwiches but would have to confirm.

Smooth and deliciously-roasted beans for my latte. One of the best I’ve ever had. Service was fast and friendly, too. It’s so nice to have a much better option in a airport than Starbucks.
