A perfect place to stop in for a coffee and a pastry. Staff is friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is casual and relaxing.

Spacious cafe with high quality drinks. My cappuccino was very strong and my girlfriend’s chai was homemade. Would recommend some background music. LGBTQ+ friendly!

My favorite coffee ever. I've yet to find s roaster that I enjoy more. Roasts are delicious and unique. I make it a point to stop by anytime I'm in Portland and pick up a few bags of beans

Lovely coffee shop. The cappuccino was very strong like a good German coffee. I don't know if that is what they were aiming for, but it was a great stroll down memory lane for me. Best coffee I've had in Portland so far.

Had a good coffee and muffin. It was not an ideal spot to quickly use my laptop because they do not offer Wi-Fi, but a public open network worked.

This is my favorite coffee shop in town. They simply offer the best coffee and fresh baked goods.

My latte was cold and when I ask if they can warm it. They said I will need to make again but they didn't...

The espresso had the most wonderfully sweet notes of molasses and hazelnut, and our honey lattes we're just what we needed!

Nice coffee spot with quick service. The proximity to the AC Hotel is a big win as you can make a pick up on your way to the main city center.

The best mocha I’ve had. And the breakfast sandwiches are so yummy. The only complaint I have is that they don’t have good ventilation in the cafe so it’s a bit oily in there from all the cooking. I went there 3x in a row and every time my clothes and hair smelt like smokey grease for the rest of the day.

A bit expensive but it’s on the water front and the pastries are good. I had the berry galette last I was there and a oat milk latte which was passing but maybe a dollar less the price.

Food was very good. We had a breakfast sandwich and a delicious bagel. The flow of ordering should be restructured. Its food is in so high a demand the long lines wined through the customers eating area instead of along the ordering counter. There is a Sunny outside area with a few patio tables. Which make for a nice conversation area.
