Bard Coffee

What more can I say then the coffee is superb. Bard coffee is well known for their excellent beans and pour over preparations. They also have a wide variety of Bakery Goods like croissants and cookies. They get these items from some of the best local sources in Portland. You really can't go wrong with anything here. The only negative which I can find, and frankly doesn't affect my rating, is that you can never really find a seat. If you want to sit down and drink your coffee you'll need to come in, in the off times.

By far the best cappuccino and (dirty) chai latte (hot or cold) in the city, and possibly the state. While I'm sad the cafe is closed right now, they've done really well adapting to COVID with a walk up order and pick-up window, as well as online ordering. Worth the wait outside!

Bard has such a wonderful open space to sit and have a moment of quiet with a nice cup of coffee. I love their Thai iced coffee- my special treat! The renovations added many nice tables to bring your laptop and work.

Atmosphere was nice, and it's very apparent they love their coffee.

The espresso drinks (cappuccino) was just pretty good, but it was far from the best I've had in the city. Again, i think their real passion is coffee it seems.

Dark roast’s are precarious. There’s a fine line between being thorough and burning the coffee. Many roasters understandably aim just shy of that line and serve a medium dark cup that maintains a certain level of acidity. If that’s what you like, great - but if you’re looking for a true dark roast, they do it right at Bard. I tried Coffee By Design, and Tandem. Both were great businesses, with thoughtful spaces: Bard just has a better dark roast. I can’t speak to the light-medium, but here in Portland, this is coffee the way I like it.

Best coffee in Portland hands down. Try the cold brew - so good!

Girl at the front counter taking orders (she was wearing an aloha shirt). Very friendly even though our interaction was short ☺️

I ordered an Iced Chai. Very creamy & made quickly. I feel like it could have been shaken more because a lot of it was at the bottom.

The interior was hip & warm💕

We were recommended to come here for the Nitro Cold Brew which my husband ordered and enjoyed 👍🏼

Hands down, the best coffee in town!

Made the coffee cafe rounds while on a three day visit to Portland and Bard was the best brew in town. Visited the cafe three times. The cafe has a contemporary, comfortable style, no problem finding a seat. and the Lattes had a consistent smooth rich flavor.

The iced Vietnamese coffee is really good.
