Better than Starbucks. Delicious tamales and breakfast pan

Excellent local coffee shop!
Absolutely delicious chai. Best in the area for sure. My dad also loves the coffee there. Best tamales and pastries as well!
My drink was really bad. I wanted to like this place. The employee was very nice. I ordered an iced chai, and it was very bland. It was almost completely white and barely had any chai flavor. I figured I just needed to stir it, but after it still just tasted like off milk. Unfortunately I was already on the road. I tried to brew and add some tea when I got home, but there was no salvaging the drink. Very disappointing. :(
The tamales are so good. Mild enough for kids to enjoy, but very good.
I am now a champurrado guy. I normally despise coffee drinks, but the use of cornmeal to make kind of a thicker drink made it feel heartier and more substantial. It felt less “empty”, which is once of my biggest complaints with traditional American mochas. The tamales were also good. They have a sign saying tamales and coffee go together and I have to agree.
Such a great coffee shop! The drinks were delicious and the tamales were some of the best I've had in Portland!
I’m so glad we found this coffee spot. I had a really high quality oat milk latte and am looking forward to coming back soon! Everyone at the window was very friendly and helpful, a great way to start the day. :)
The service was so very good the champurrado ummm
Cute place, nice people, good coffee
Found this place online when we were looking for some convenient coffee on our way out of town and loved it. Amazing service and coffee! Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back and try some tamales.
Tamales were amazing! I usually provide pictures, but I ate them too fast!
Excellent coffee, friendly service, small business, convenient walk up window and plenty of parking. I come to this spot when I visit my family near. I am always remembered and greeted warmly. Vote with your dollars and support this small business, you won’t regret it.
Good coffee, solid pastries, competitive prices, and nice staff.
Great coffee! Very excited to see they have tamales too. Will definitely be back!
Universal Coffee, located on Allen just before Murray Blvd is a nice, quick option for coffee and a treat. I enjoyed my Mexican mocha and appreciate the walk up window. Location is wheelchair accessible and service was prompt and friendly. Next time I will try one of their food options like a tamale or a danish 😍
Coffee, bakery, and tamale shop!!
Friendly service, great coffee and amazing tamales.
Great selection and prices, service is friendly and prompt. I haven't tried the food, but the coffee is great. The Mexi-mocha is bomb btw, try it! Also, nice to order ahead of time when getting stuff from nectar. Way better than starbucks.
