The latte here is fantastic—rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. The place is always lively and full of energy, and it’s definitely worth coming back for. Easily one of my top 3 coffees in Portland!

They make it so hard for me to visit, much less recommend. Although the coffee is decent, the service is APPALLING. Every single barista is rude. Without exception in the last several visits I’ve made. It’s also extremely expensive but not worth the price (as far as food goes). I ordered Turkish eggs and all of my four small pieces of toast were burnt to a crisp, inedible. Super disappointing every single time I try to give them another try.

Excellent cafe and matcha lattes at Upper Left Roasters. Love the latte art. We had the Nova Lox and Avocado Toast for breakfast. It was tasty. And the space is bright and open. Friendly barista. Highly recommended!

I’ve hesitated posting this five times because the coffee is amazing, the food is quite possibly the best coffee shop food I’ve ever had; but the WiFi is the absolute worst!! It actually bums me out. Because time and time again, I pick this place because the coffee and food and Every Single Time, after working for a bit the WiFi goes out/buffers. Honestly, the first 5 times I let it go, just packed up and went to another coffee shop. I let it go because the coffee and food was so good. Today it has happened again. So off to find another coffee shop to work at…again.

If you just want killer coffee and good this is the place to go!! If you want to have a meeting, study, or work; unfortunately, this is not the place. It’s SO close to being perfect.

The rose matcha is delicious and made to absolute perfection. You can also see the passion the baristas have in creating high-quality handcrafted drinks. The espresso served here is one of the best I've found in the area, well balanced and creamy. Even though the café had quite the handful of customers, the drinks were flowing out from the bar, so we didn't have to wait long!
