Mayhaps the most proper cup of coffee I've had the privilege to experience.

Stopped in for a morning cup of coffee, got the honey lavender latte! Definitely a cute little shop. It is a bit spendy.

The coffee was the best we had in Portland. The cortado was delicious and the seasonal drink was very good (smoked sea salt maple). The reason that the review gets 4/5 stars is that the customer service was off-putting. The baristas did not approach the counter when we went up to order and made us feel like we were bothering them.

What a gem! Friendly staff and amazing coffee and tea! We had a homemade blueberry pop tart and the Olive Oil Guava Cake, Oh My!! It was perfect. I wish I lived around the corner from this spot! I look forward to visiting again!

Nice chill place. Solid cold brew, decently flavorful. Macchiato was non traditional but good - cream was more mixed into the espresso but good flavor.

Excellent coffee and baked goods! Parking is easy, seating is abundant. Service is as warm as the sunshine pouring through this cafe’s big windows. Ambiance is sublime. Go to the Proper Cup. Order a honey lavender latte. It will make you smile.

Great coffee, but not a great first impression from the staff. It should be custom to be welcomed in and greeted, rather than blankly stared at when approaching the counter. (Visited on 1/21/22)
