Push X Pull just made it into my Top 10 Portland coffee shops — and easily Top 3 in SE PDX.
I found this gem thanks to a recommendation from a barista at another spot, and I’m glad I followed the lead. Tucked away in Southeast Portland, Push X Pull nails that balance of great coffee, vibes, and an inviting space.
Plenty of street parking, friendly staff, and overall just a really comfortable atmosphere.
It was my first visit, but definitely not my last. Give it a try — I think you’ll be glad you did. Thank me later.

The barista with blue hair is absolutely amazing.

Thank you so much to the girl that helped me this morning around 10 when I got a bee sting!!! She was so kind and helpful and everyone else was just staring. <3 you!!!

Delicious coffee and excellent service. This is a great place to chill and do work or study. A lot of light comes in from the ceiling tall windows and there are outlets throughout to charge your phone or laptop.

Good vibes here. Lots of people working remotely.
They had a fun movie playing on a projector and great music selection.
The coffee was good, but their cookies were amazing.

This is a coffee person's coffee shop. Seriously one of the best in not only Oregon, but the entire west coast. Not to say anyone couldn't have an amazing experience here, but if you're like REALLY into coffee, you are gonna have a good time. The bean selection is unmatched, typically 8-12 offerings varying in origin, varietal, and process methods. From extremely approachable, to exotic and funky, they have it all. World class farmers and producers are always available here. The baristas are always nice, and knowledgeable. They ALWAYS have at least one alternate espresso, and sometimes two alternates. Ensuring that If you want something a little out of the usual realm, something funky, fruity and exciting, or just something to spice up your regular shop order, you can have it. Of course they also keep a consistent regular espresso, for those who need to know they are going to have the same experience time and time again. Don't sleep on this shop. Trust me. I'm a avid coffee enthusiast, am no way affiliated with push and pull, and I get nothing out of this. I just want to assist my fellow weird coffee people in finding the right shop.

This isn't a comfy home like couch filled place, comfort isn't the point. This is a laboratory where the finest coffee I've ever had is roasted and brewed. I've yet to drink a Cortado that even comes close to the quality they make here and the folks who work the place are always so friendly!
This is a pretty cool place located off Stark. We came here before getting breakfast down the street. I tried their Thirst Trap - which was an expresso tonic with a strawberry and lime cordial. The drink was good and had a unique flavor to it. The people working here were friendly and quick to make our drinks.

Didn’t try any food but had the yummiest espresso tonic w/ CBD that was shaken with love! Loved their space… big windows and nice communal tables as well as a film screen that was showing something animated for entertainment.

The best coffee in Portland if you’re a coffee nerd. Fun anaerobics, co-ferments, super high quality stuff you don’t find often elsewhere. Great vibe, the counter-sunk Mavams, knowledgeable and nerdy baristas who truly love coffee. This is destination coffee. I drive over from Vancouver specifically to go here at least once a month.

PUSH PULL | Stark is a fantastic café! The coffee is excellent—one of the best I’ve had in Portland. The space is beautiful and relaxing, and the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s a must-visit every time I’m in the downtown. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great coffee experience in a cozy setting!
