Symposium Coffee

Great coffee, decent bourbon selection and prices. Friendly staff. Had a nice selection of beans for sale too. Stumptown and Coava. $14.50 for a 2oz pour, I’m a buyer all day.

I had the best cup of hot cocoa here. It was so delicious. I hear the coffee is great too. There are also pastries available and possible other food options. Parking is limited, and at peak time very full. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Another hipster type coffee house that my wife loves but I personally can't really stand. It's in a weird location that has horrible parking and the biggest drink they offer is almost the size of a soda can. It always seems silly to go through all the trouble of getting there and parking just to get this small cup to go.

Anyways, that aside my wife says the coffee is awesome and that I shouldn't ding more than one star for the annoyance of getting there. I tried a few pastries and they are the typical shipped in wrapped in plastic variety.

Still better than any starbucks though so for that I recommend here.

This is a nice coffee shop located close to the Fanno Creek trails. In addition to coffee and tea, they have baked goods (including GF & vegan options) and a whiskey bar. Definitely check it out.

Slow, good, but what's with the tennis balls and restroom situation?

Good drinks, few food options. Service is a bit slow, but that's ok, just not great. It's nice that they have outdoor seating... But the commuter rail is really loud. The restroom is accessible through the back door, which is how the likely transient man who was in there almost fifteen minutes while I waited entered... With no other bathroom options for customers. Wait. I'm more disappointed in this visit than I realize.

I was invited here before, but wasn't able to make it that one day. However i was near by another day and got a tea that was amazing! Went back for a meeting and got the same tea and ordered it for a friend she to loved it! Staff was polite and it has a relaxing atmosphere.

Great place to study and get some work done! Ordered an iced matcha latte, and it was delicious - not too sweet and the matcha was definitely high-grade, way better than the matcha beverages at your local chain coffee place . The back rooms are perfect for getting work done or studying :) If you like sitting in the front area, bring some headphones if you like a little quiet, cause the noise levels can get a little high during rush hour. Will definitely come back!

My main complaint about this place has to be one specific worker, who I always happen to get. I walk up to order, she doesn’t say anything. I try to read the options as she impatiently glares me down tapping her fingernails. I start to drink it with a friend, and I guess she wanted the table because she was glaring...again, tapping her fingernails. She starts cleaning directly on my table and near me as if to push me out of the room. She couldn’t just ask politely...The next time I went she was there of course. I was ordering again and received the same cold glare. I didn’t move out of the way fast enough so she impatiently and rudely said, it’ll be ready any minute. I didn’t even hardly have the chance to take my card. I don’t know how she even got hired here cause she doesn’t seem that good at her job. Other than that the coffee/tea would have been more enjoyable had I not been pestered by their employee.

They have amazing drinks there. Their lavender late is to die for, as is their salted carmel latte. The atmosphere is relaxed and its a nice place for a get together. They have study rooms and meeting rooms upstairs that you can rent out. The only downside is that they are on the pricey side for their drinks and food, but their ingredients are better quality than some chain coffee places. Th eir turkey wrap is good but its $8.00, but the wrap is huge it will be two meals even for the heartiest eater.

Excellent espresso, great atmosphere for a work from home environment, and the pastries are fantastic. I have to admit that I am gluten intolerant so the fact that all the pastries are gluten free, excepting the bagels, is a wonderful part of my morning routine.
