Serious coffee place with trained baristas and great selection of pour over coffee . They primarily use Kalita Wave for pour over which creates a very pleasant, smooth coffee . Highly recommended.

Bianca A

Excellent amaretto latte . Nice space to sit and work or chat for a bit. Friendly staff !

Tim Hettler

On a hot summer day, nothing beats a cup of their nitro cold brew , which is creamier and sweeter than regular iced coffee . If you're not in a hurry, get a pour-over with locally-roasted beans.

Geoffroy Bablon

Coffee 's great, pastries are good, and staff is very welcoming. A good start to your day. Sit at the communal table if you need to get some work done, the free wifi is pretty good.

Josh King

Solid coffee . Huge mugs. Good place to bring your laptop and work. And one of the few coffee shops with wifi in Portland

Amanda Thompson

I've only been here one time and I will definitely be back! Perfect hot latté ! Tasted incredible and cute latte art as well .

Joe Cooper

Definitely give the cold brew a shot. Way better than the Starbucks across the street! Local coffee = ❤️

Edgardo Boucher

A hidden gem ! The artisanal coffee selection is unparalleled, and the baristas are true coffee connoisseurs. A must-visit for any coffee enthusiast.

Patrick Brennick

Just a great place to get coffee in Portland, in the Old Port . They have been doing a great job since they opened. My preferred place for java.

Peter Boyce

Pour-over coffee , caramel cruller; great ambience

Djaniella D.

Spacious coffee shop ! I'd definitely recommend the cold brew ... or if you need an extra boost, try the nitro!

Brad Mace

Extreme care with pour over and precision with 'espresso . I had an amazing macchiato .. The fluorescent lights leave a little to be desired, but the coffee makes up for the light!

Marcia Dunsmore

Excellent service and truly wonderful coffee . Very pleasant cafe environment in downtown Portland.

Jessica Karlesky

Tried the seasonal pumpkin latte and it was lovely. The right amount of spicy and not too sweet.

Vasilis

nice place to have a coffee , great cappuccino but i wouldn't suggest the iced one. if you want something local, it is highly suggested!

Charlotte Cusano

Morgan Holland

True coffee aficionados, great cold brewed coffee , fast free wifi

Dan

Great location, pretty good coffee (but not nearly as good as nearby Tandem)

Mario Moretto

Probably the most artfully pulled espresso in the city . Try the Iced Americano . You'll be glad you did.

Andy Gilbert

They'll ice any tea they have on the menu. Perfect for some variety.

Alex Payne

Amazing iced Americanos , vegan muffins . Hard to go wrong.

Julia Warnock

Everything is great. Cozy environment , great service

Order a Vietnamese - espresso with condensed milk . Tastes wonderfully like burned sugar lollipops .
