Portola Coffee Roasters

I come here a few times a year and always enjoy what I order. My most recent beverage was a hot mocha with soy milk. It was smooth and not too sweet, with a delicious chocolate flavor. It was the right temp to drink almost immediately, which is not usually true for me. The caffeine kick gave me a little bit of jitters, but I don't drink much caffeine compared to most folks, so if you are a regular coffee drinker, it's probably fine. Four stars is because of the price. Not that the price is unreasonable for the ingredients they use - I think it's fair. It's just to note that it's more expensive than a large chain place. The 12 oz was 5.75. Having said that, I definitely recommend this as an occasional treat if you like chocolate in your coffee.

Ever since I tried out Portola, I always have to stop by whenever I'm in the area!

The real star of the show is the coffee. I ordered an iced latte and was impressed by the unique flavors and smooth texture of the drink. The barista was able to craft an iced latte that was both bold and balanced, with a depth of flavor that I haven't tasted in other coffee shops.

Overall, I would highly recommend Portola Coffee Lab to anyone looking for a unique taste of coffee!

We tried the Kyoto Cold Brew and it tasted very unique. The other is just iced latte and there’s nothing to complain about.
Btw, this place is located inside the OC Mix and there are plenty of tables outside where all the shops share. We visited on a Sunday morning and it’s pretty empty which is nice!!!

The location is inviting and my favorite drink coffee latte was made to perfection, highly recommended!

Love the vibes of Portola Coffee. I got a housemade chai with oat milk in my reusable mug! Bring your own for a discount *&* use less plastic. Ample seating inside & out. My only caveat (and this goes for other coffee shops) is to stop charging an exorbitant fee for plant-based milk. See Sir Paul McCartney's & PETA's letter to Starbucks. Thanks for reading!

Came here with my mom for a quick coffee after lunch. Got a filter extraction of the Kenya blend. I have to say it was one of the worst coffees I’ve tasted. Very unfortunate. Tried my moms iced coffee and was disappointed as well. Was imbalanced and flat. Way too sour but not balanced in bitterness or any other flavor components. I wouldn’t recommend this place if your a coffee connoisseur. Long story short spent like 12.00 dollars for drinks we didn’t consume. Won’t be coming back for a coffee.

We are always greeted with a smile. Selection is great. Coffee is just how you ask for it. It's always fun to watch the baristas do their "dance" making all the various coffees. They make it look effortless.

Small place in an upscale shopping area just off the 405. Mocha was awesome even with almond milk rich and flavorful and especially not too sweet. Baristas were very friendly.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could....Best. Mocha. Ever. And I've had tons of mochas in my time. So smooth, no acidy after taste. This is the standard by which I judge all other mochas. Desserts looked amazing tho we didn't get any. Wouldn't want anything to distort the yummy goodness of my coffee. Roast: Terra Incognita

Really great spot! They take the proper time and pride in making their hand crafted beverages. The quality of the coffee and tea is amazing.
