Symposium Coffee

Great taste for the espresso and awesome bagels

Update** The last few drinks I’ve gotten were exceptional. The baristas are nice but they’re busy so they can’t chat all day like some people in the reviews probably want. This location is beautiful. The design is excellent and it makes you feel like you’re somewhere that knows their stuff. I also love their espresso machine, the GB5 is my favorite of all time.

Great place to study or meet with friends. They have a lot of seating both indoors and out!
The staff is always friendly and patient. The drinks are good and fairly priced. They have some delicious pastries that include some gluten free and vegan options.

Beautiful coffee shop, now with whiskey! They've got an excellent selection, including some scotches and high-end whiskeys like Whistlepig. For coffee I usually get the cold brew. The staff are very friendly, the feel and decor are classic Portland. Definitely worth a visit.

I love every thing about this experience!! Awesome atmosphere, delicious rich frothy drink and prompt pleasant service!
I walked in and there was no line but there was plenty of patrons at the old school and eclectic tables scattered about. The theme of the place was really comfortable. Nice good quality things from yester year With no real rhyme or rhythm but they all seem to go together well.
I walked up to the counter and was greeted with a friendly but not intrusive good morning. I ordered a drink and a coffee cake. I got a quad Carmel mocha. I sat down and almost immediately my drink was ready.
It was overwhelmingly delectable and perfect. And not just like 'oh that's good' like Starbucks 'good', it was smooth and frothy and creamy and rich all the way through. I kept expecting to get to the bottom of the deliciousness to the thin part which never happened. This was maybe the best quality mocha I have ever had in my entire life. Basically if I could come back here every single day I would.
I highly suggest giving them a shot. The experience is excellent.

Stopped in to buy a bottle of water bought a coffee instead. It was very good. The staff was excellent. They also have a whiskey bar. Not my thing but very interesting and cool. I will make sure this place becomes a fixture on my walking jonts through old town Tigard.

Loved this place. Great location and just a short walk from my son's house. I had a delicious chili mocha w/coconut milk. It was scrumptious . Will be visiting this shop every visit. The employees were very welcoming and friendly. My mocha even had a design in it made from the foam! A definite must visit!

A great coffee shop with amazing coffee and delicious baked goods! Seriously, the bread is to die for. Everything except for the bagels are gluten free, but you'd never guess by tasting it. Everything is a tad on the spendy side, but is well worth the money.

I have been here about 10 or more times since 2015 and every time I am served rich, quality lattes. I appreciate the cute latte art the baristas do. The ordering area can get pretty crammed, but there's plenty of room to sit and relax in the back study area. Reasonable prices and decent wait times. Parking is often unavailable near the shop but this coffee is definitely worth walking a block or two! ♡

Coffee is extremely nutty in flavor. The staff are friendly and there is tons of seating (they have numerous little rooms you can reserve).

Everything tastes like it's made from quality ingredients but by someone who doesn't understand how flavors work. The tea is no exception.

The quality is there , but the price is a tad high for what you get
