Amazing little Italian-style cafe that will make you think you are on a side street in Roma having espresso with the locals. Only true ristretto shots in the Northwest. ☕️??

Very cozy micro cafe! The smallest coffee shop in Portland perhaps. (With indoor seating well standing actually). There were no chairs definitely get in get your excellent coffee beverage and make room for the next person. Great experience, the barista was interesting and nice. Recommended.

I ordered a black americano. I was told this was some of the best coffee in portland. However, I was disappointed with the flavor and texture. The black americano was mild and flavorless. I get better coffee with my nespresso.

Best Decaf Espresso I've ever had, hands down.

Real, 8oz cappuccino, no complaints at all. Very friendly, engaging staff all three visits this week, although small variance of espresso pulls between the staff, so you may find you prefer one day over another.
It is a very small, curated minimalist cafe with some pastry and standard coffee/espresso options, and well worth a visit even if you're not nearby.
Regulars appear to wait for their beverage in the lobby, to alleviate crowding in the small space.
Vegetarian options: Most, if not all, of the pastries are vegetarian.
Dietary restrictions: Alternative milk available
Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access would be difficult, it's a small narrow cafe.

This place is tiny but hands down the best coffee I’ve had in the US so far (10 days in)!
I’m Aussie and been struggling to find a strong, tasty coffee sans sugar.

I found this coffee randomly at Market of Choice. Their espresso beans are one of my favorites. So I had to try the Caffe when I came to town. Did not disappoint!!

A tiny jewel of a coffee shop, packed with flavor and good vibes! After wandering as wide variety of coffees, I keep coming back to Spella. It IS the very best.

Grabbed a hot chai, it has best in the title so I felt it was only right. Also tried the Iced Chai's and Iced Coffee. Had them add honey to the Chai and Coffee, made a big difference. Those drinks instantly got consumed and I wanted to go back for more. The place is small, small, like 4 people make the space crowded small and that includes the Barista! The door is heavy, nice but heavy. Things are very well priced so yes, I recommend.
