Local roaster and coffee shop with multiple options for single-origin coffee. I had a cup of their daily drip offering, which was a Kenyan with pleasant acidity and fruity overtones. Nutty Bars, Star Crunch, and other classic snacks available in lieu of the standard pastries. ??

I ordered a cardamom rose latte. It was quite nice. I have never had a coffee that was less than amazing there though.

Usually I rate my coffee on a scale of how many sips does it take to send me to the loo and let me say.. 1st sip.. faster than it takes for you to pour your boiling water on your instant coffee mix. Place slaps..

Sterling coffee has been my go to spot for coffee for at least 10 years. The baristas are incredibly knowledgeable and I love coming in and asking, "what's on tap". Located off of NW 21st and Glisan in the Alphabet district, it is definitely worth a visit!Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance off of sidewalk

We were in the mood for some good coffee while visiting Portland so we decided to checkout Sterling Roasters. Quality of coffee: Good. We tried their holiday special latte and it was super good and full of flavors of cinnamon and cardamon. Décor: trendy and relaxed. There was comfortable seating next to the windows and the whole place had a very cozy feeling to it. Cleanliness: good. The tables were being kept clean regularly. Service: good. The whole place was being run by just 3 girls who were very busy but they made sure to answer our questions and serve coffeee with a smile. Price: Typical $5-$6 for a fancy coffee drink. If you're in the mood for some excellent coffee in a relaxed atmosphere then Sterling is a good choice.

Best matcha latte. Anyone craving for finest matcha, this is the place to go. Service, ambiance was great as well. It might be a little crowded and it's hard to find a place to sit indoors on weekends, but all in all worth the visit. 10/10.

What a fantastic Slabtown neighborhood coffee shop! It has quite a personality that comes down to the personable staff and smooth, rich, and consistent coffee. I've come here mostly to grab a cup on my way to grocery shopping, but occasionally come to sit and read. It can get full quickly, I'd recommend coming before 9AM if you want to sit down. It is still so well worth grabbing a cup to go. The staff make this place, they remember everyone's order and exactly who ordered them to the point that they deliver the coffee to you no matter how busy it gets. The coffee here gives me the boost and serotonin I need every morning. The pastries are standard, nothing too notable but I have yet to try them all.

Incredible macchiato and the vanilla latte was delicious. The staff are awesome and this place is tiny but very cozy. We will absolutely return.
