Sisters Coffee Company in The Pearl District

Great spot to work. Outlets are available though in high demand. Wi-Fi is very good, around 40-55 Mbps download speeds. Kind staff.

Love everything about Sisters. The location, the ambiance of the shop, the amazing coffee and other drinks. It’s one of my favorite places to drop into when I’m in the area. I only wish there were more locations!

This review is coming from a sideways direction, because I didn't go inside the coffee shop, but did interact with some of the employees there. Today (3/14/2022) I was nearing the end of my daily walk about two blocks from Sisters Coffee. I was waiting at the intersection of NW 12th and Lovejoy waiting for the crosswalk to change. A woman on the opposite side of the street walked out into traffic and towards me. As she got closer, I noticed that she was headed straight towards me, so I put my hands up and backed away. She punched me in the neck, hard! A bystander who saw what happened told me that he had seen her punch other people on the street. After the initial shock , I decided I could shake it off (this is Portland, nowadays) or I could hold her accountable.
So far, Sisters Coffee had nothing to do with why this review is being written, but what follows does.
I called 911 and kept my eyes on the woman who punched me so that I could tell the police where to find her. Eventually, after yelling obscenities (and other things which I won't detail here), she went into Sisters Coffee. I told the dispatcher and he asked me to stay outside and to not engage with my assailant, and then I hung up to await the arrival of an officer. While I waited outside on the sidewalk, an employee of Sisters Coffee came out and asked me if there was a problem? The woman who punched me was inside telling the customers and employees (apparently) that I was following her and that I was dangerous, etc. I corrected the employee and told him that the woman punched me and that I was awaiting the police. He asked me if I was hurt enough to go to the hospital, and if not, to let them handle her. He had a number he could call. I told him he was free to call his number, but I was the one punched and I wanted her held accountable. He asked again to not involve the police, so I asked him that "If he were the one that was punched would still feel like letting it go?" His response was, "Are you threatening me?"
I asked him to leave me alone, and he and other employees went back inside.
As the woman who punched me was being transported by the police, a different employee came out and asked the policeman assisting me if I was going to be arrested as well? For threatening her coworker? The policeman declined, but as things were wrapping up, a different policeman came over and told me that I was 'banned for lif from Sisters Coffee.
That's the end of this particular interaction, but it's not really the end for me. Now, as I walk around downtown Portland (I live here), I have to be extra alert for anyone that approaches me. I feel super lucky and thankful that the woman who punched me in the neck didn't have a needle or knife in her hand, or that she didn't push me into traffic.
For the next six months, until my lease expires and I can relocate, I have to be very cagey and distrustful of everyone as I go about my day, hopeful that what happened doesn't happen again.
Oh, and I also can't get coffee from Sisters. I was unfortunate enough to be attacked in broad daylight and unlucky to have an entitled, semantically-challenged, not-his-business employee of Sisters come out and force a confrontation. But hey, if you've committed a crime, Sisters Coffee should be your go-to for a hot coffee and some weaponized personal judgment. I'll be sure to let everyone I know what to expect from Sisters Coffee.

I love this location and absolutely love their Americano blend. I buy coffee here at least twice a week. Their outdoor seating is really nice and perfect for reading a book.

Cozy coffee shop with a great atmosphere! Love the comfortable seating (check out the upstairs for a more secluded feel or downstairs in you want the 'hustle and bustle'). The coffee is delicious and they have some nice treats to snack on too. You can also buy their beans here. A nice place to get work done!

Delicious coffee and snacks served lightning fast by friendly people using quality ingredients.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots. Relaxed, friendly!

cute and cosy place, with plenty of seating options. great place to work in and they have a fantastic playlist as well. ordered a pumpkin spice latte that tasted more like a regular latte, unfortunately. nevertheless, the entire coffee shop was great. clean, good music, well decorated. will definitely be back to get some work done in the future!

I tried their Earl grey latte and asked to add Cardamom Syrup. It tasted amazing. Would recommend trying it.

I completely agree with others that this is my favorite coffee place in downtown Portland. The coffee is a little weak, but has good flavor. It's the ambiance and setting that makes this place so special. It's a very rustic feel with plenty of seating, especially if you look up. Hidden upstairs is a great balcony set to look like a library...if you're a people watcher, you'll love this place.

Give it a try, its a relaxing place to have a coffee or get some work done with their free, fast wifi.
