Krista BerlincourtMarch 31, 2013The best shop in Portland. Great ambiance, music and staff. Sasha and Anne know everyone by name, dress to kill and are all around lovely. Sterling has it all -- macaroon, Americano and bow ties.
The most delicate macaroons in Portland. No sweet jelly, no gooeyness, just dissolve on your palate yummy. Oh, and the espresso is always heavenly.
Burk JacksonJune 12, 2013This is the perfect neighborhood coffee shop! Beautiful space, delicious coffee, mellow music and well groomed baristas (no beards or "ironic" t-shirts here).- Adriana TruongOctober 5, 2018The espressos we’ve had were absolutely amazing! The service, the vibe of the place and the plants make it a super cosy place to hang out and enjoy the best coffee in Portland!
Randall ShirleyAugust 12, 2012This place serves amazing coffee and just a few pastries., Used to be around corner next to Trader Joe's. At night space becomes M Bar.
After living here 10 years, I can say, this is the best coffee in Portland.
Apparently the cacao in the dark chocolate mocha used to come from Venezuela, but due to some war or something, they had to get it from Bolivia instead. It is still delicious!
Megan BlankenshipJanuary 3, 2013One of my favorite coffee places in Portland. By far. Follow their Instagram for cute "mugs."
Excellent coffee. One of the cities best. Bring your card because they are cashless, for better or worse.
Neel HajareFebruary 7, 2021Good cortado. Outdoor pickup was possible with app payment and asking but their default setup involves going inside.
Rick NeahringJanuary 1, 2020We went here on Jan 1, 2020 for cappuccinos. They were quite good. Good atmosphere. I give it 5 stars.
Joshua KagiAugust 6, 2014The coffee is good. The baristas are knowledgable... but that said, the place just feels like it's trying too hard to cater to the hipster crowd. But, to each his own...
Riley PittengerSeptember 29, 2014Fuck to the yes, after paying six bucks for an Americano all over this city, I have found the spot for for my caffeinated fetish. They won't hold you after, but sometimes you just need it hot and fast
Great coffee from friendly people. Little cramped if you're trying to hang out tho
Simon GosneySeptember 30, 2022Try the luxe hot chocolate. It’s so good 🥰 This is such a good, friendly place.
- Mo KleinJanuary 11, 2014Who can resist the beautiful fresh flowers and a chance to sit in the cosy cafe for a few minutes?
Either the iced coffee or Americano with their special vanilla syrup and soy are my gotos
Caramel latte. Caramel comes from Two Tarts Bakery a few blocks away. Incredible!

Food & WineApril 22, 2011The dapper baristas manning this coffee stand roast beans in one-pound batches 10 hours each day.
- If a tall dark bearded guy named Adam is working, tell him to "Keep his specs on!"
- Yikes! $3 for an Americano. Bummer. Won't be back at that price. That's insane!
