Seven Virtues Coffee Roaster @ Hawthorne

I was excited to get a birthday coffee on a break from my tattoo appointment. I saw that seven virtues was open, hadn’t been in a couple years, and headed over with my partner excited to show him this yummy coffee place.

We walked in, the barista yelled at us to get out, the end of the line was the people before us. This was twenty minutes to close (3:40pm).

Literally just wanted to pay for a couple cold brews and enjoy my day. Instead I ended up buying a Diet Coke down the street at the foot carts in the rain.

Never been kicked out of a coffee shop before, especially for just wanting to buy what they advertise lol. I’m a pretty easy going and understanding person but that was such a shitty experience I want to warn anyone to not get excited about an afternoon coffee here cuz you might get yelled at and kicked out for wanting to purchase what they sell.

Seven Virtues Coffee Roasters was a decent stop during our trip to Portland. We checked it out after seeing it on multiple recommendation lists, and while the coffee was good, it didn’t particularly stand out. The flavors were well-balanced, but nothing memorable. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, but overall, it was just an okay coffee stop rather than a must-visit.

I love a good cafe window seat with a matcha latte on a rainy day but unfortunately this matcha latte was not it. Perhaps I should try another one with a different milk base or add sweetener, but the one I ordered was normal milk with a splash of honey and I did not enjoy it. Too foamy and overpriced!

All the pastries are vegan and gluten-free. The chocolate chip cookie was so soft that it didn't seem like it had been baked at all. I didn't really like the flavor either. My partner said the coffee was fine, though.

Adorable little coffee shop in the heart of Hawthorne. Great coffee and vegan pastries, I would definitely recommend and will for sure be back!

Vegetarian options: Clearly marked vegetarian pastries.

The baristas here are awesome, my partner and I order the same thing every time and it's always consistent. The vegan gluten free pastries are so good and the sugar free vanilla is the best one I've had, ever!

Cozy, sublime and hip. Great place to sip and let the world go by. 10am is nice and quite on a weekday.

The Ethiopian drip coffee was some of the best I've had. I usually avoid drip coffee because it usually isn't great at most places. This was incredible. The barista was very helpful and informative.

Sucks to leave a poor review for a company I’d like to support. I have consistently gotten service as disappointing as their product. There are many excellent coffee shops in Portland, this one ain’t it.

The Sumatra roast had the most unique flavor for a ground French press. This place has a perfectly tranquil atmosphere and vibe. Highly recommended!

The location, the decor, the nice jazz on a very warm Saturday afternoon, the gentleman working there and the coffee…totally fantastic experience! Truly enjoyed it and would go back repeatedly.

The downside was a $7.25 chai I can’t drink and no one picks up the phone. The upside was that they sell gf/vegan pastries.

I have enjoyed everything I have tried from here, but their coffee drinks are pricey compared to other coffee shops in the area
