Generic coffee in US is a huge cup of coffee flavored water but it's not the case here. Herr you can try really delicious coffee . Forget about milky ones - try drip, pour over , cold brew or espresso !

Paul Mederos

Espresso drinks are, as they say, killer. Don't miss out on the fantastic cold brew . Say hi to Buddy, the shoppe's dog. Enjoy the Cali-inspired space.

Bianca Navarro Bowman

Great coffee , delicious gelato , and delicious looking everything else. This place is quirky and cool and definitely a great stop for coffee and dessert and conversation!

Loren Worsley

Great espresso and the chocolate crackle cookie was on point. Wish I could've sampled even more desserts/pies/empanadas, everything looked bomb! Plus lots of pups and babes around for great vibe.

Tyler Chartier

This and Grape + Bean make King St. The place to be. One of a kind space, sometimes hard to find seating though and the cortado is really small. + They serve Dangerously Delicious Pies

Donna D

Free WiFi , really great artwork (always new, too!), amazing gelato (pomegranate basil ... heaven), great espresso and food and some of the best people work here. My favorite place to chill in Old Town !

Carolyn B.

Back patio is great in warm weather. And the soy chai latte is phenomenal. Definitely coming back with a book or other leisurely reading material.

Veena Susan

Note to people who are allergic to pets ... They allow dogs+ indoors. As much as I love them, I don't want to sneeze my way through a work/study session. And the dog fights are distracting too.

Tom Maxwell

This is a cozy place in downtown to sit and read or work. They stock all the Stumptown canned drinks too which is great

Leanna Casebere

Order a tea and a slice of pie and sit at the bar . The baristas are always so friendly and willing to chat. Weekday nights are best to avoid the rush.

Rachel Orr

FREAKING AMAZING. Best gelato flavors. Ferrero Rocher . That is all. Try for yourself. Also cutest building award! ????

Raquel Abarca Murillo

The back is this place is awesome. Feels like home, the music it's a tiny bit loud sometimes, they have a great patio . Wi-Fi and great great local art !!!

Lisa M

Fun and artsy spot, great coffee ! Simple beverages and a nice selection of gluten free pastries and pre made food options.

Sean McMahon

Cava on Friday and Saturday nights open my nights apparently are on Sundays but I haven’t been yet so you have to check it out for yourself

Kyle R.

This is where you get heavenly espresso drinks . My vote is a cappuccino or latte - keep it simple and do NOT add sugar or flavorings. Enjoy.

Doug Wright

Great drinks and food but when it is a single person who is taking orders, making drinks, serving food and cleaning up the line moves sooooooo slow. I don't get why this is a "thing" at coffee shops .

Chris Petracco

Salted Caramel and there is no X espresso ! Try the Crazy F'ing Chocolate gelato and Dangerously Delicious pies .

jeyo

Best place to get a coffee , espresso , tea , or hot drink in Old Town . Coolest atmosphere.

natalie kay

Sarah P

Coffee and gelato are great here. Good spot to study or just meet with a friend.

Katie S.

If you like peanut butter & chocolate in one dish, the peanut butter chess pie is ORGASMIC

Jason Herman

A great portland Oregon cozy feel to it! Very chill environment and great staff !!! You are going to love it here!

White chocolate raspberry is good. This place is hip and modern, with a touch of rustic hipster .

Nove Znacky

Flat white . Stumptown coffee . Great service. What's not to love

Kirsten Mentzer

The pannacotta gelato served affogato may be one of the best things on earth. Heavenly.

Raquel Abarca Murillo

Ps- Everything here is awesome and they have "Tea Happy Hour " which is pure awesomeness!!!

Reagan Barbosa

I had heard good things about Dangerously Delicious Pies , so I was excited to try them here. Underwhelmed. Wouldn't come back for them. The gelato was grainy rather than smooth. Overrated spot.

Michael Perez

The free WiFi is fast and reliable. They use Stumptown brand espresso , my local favorite.

Allie Bosworth

Great service! Even if there's a line , the people who work there are super nice!!

JH H-D

Amazing coffee and great pastries !

Jackie de Haan

their iced green tea tastes a lot like water. I understand the pies aren't fresh but my chicken pot pie was warmed in a microwave (not even a toaster oven) and I could've done that at home

sanchelle charles

Pull pork quiche is amazing :) so are the expressos !!

Sara

Get their ice latte with killer mocha flavor
