Very friendly staff, great coffee, and a regularly changed selection of local art. Are you... red e for it? (Taylor's Version)

And now on to Portland! We had a pretty good cappuccino from here. It was strangely a lil' lukewarmer than most, but still very good. But minus 1 star for allowing dogs inside your cafe. That's just not sanitary (or legal)... and unlike the kids, we actually hate that.

Hands down the best latte I had in Portland and I was having at least 1 a day in the city. No other coffee shop in the area could compare. The barista was super chill and took time to prepare our beverages. I tried to get one more on the way out of the city but they were closed by 2! I can't wait to go back!

I just found this place near work, and I immediately recognized the savory mushroom pastry was from Crema! I already liked them! The lady there was friendly, smiley, and just was seemingly happy with it all. It was quite busy in there ash's she was working hard! So a shout out to her! Nice coffee and goodies! I work just down the street so I'll be back!

They're coffee is pretty decent but they're super slow. They only have one person working usually and he only serves one person at a time which makes the whole moving through the line process very long.

Appreciated Red E pre-covid, and really appreciate them now. Just moved back after a year away and was desperate for some Portland coffee but honestly super concerned about the lines/gatherings of people I'd seen at other cafes and shops. Walked over to Red E and they have a sign on the door with clear safety precautions--you must wear a mask, do not enter if there are more than 10 people inside already, and upon entering customers must immediately go to the bathroom and wash their hands. I really appreciate the concern for safety of customers and employees alike. Barista was kind and patient and wore a BLM mask. The seasonal latte was good, rich, and not too sweet. I had my first ever coffee soda at Red E (in the before-times) and they still have it on the menu if you want to try something different.

Their drip coffee is super hot, fresh, bursting with flavor and I am always happy when I leave. (I don't drink espresso drinks, so I can't say about that.) For $5, I got a ham and cheese croissant that was fantastic --everything I could ever want and not wrapped in plastic. Prior to Covid, I stopped going there because the staff attitude bummed me out quite frankly, and I could go to other cafes with nicer service. But now, I could swear they are nicer but it's quite possibly me who has changed --hiding behind my mask I'm just appreciative of a good cup of delicious hot coffee not from Starbucks. Thanks Red E for powering through (with safety measures in place) and I'm happy to support you with my business.

Came here on a friend's recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Cafe itself had a really pleasant, relaxed vibe. I tried the honey cardamom latte and it was AMAZING! Holy smokes. Even better, I had a zucchini bread muffin to go with it that was perfectly moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely give them a try!
