“I really like how laid back this coffee shop is. The staff are really sweet and remember the individuals who come in for coffee. Good music is always playing. Visits always bring great conversation and smiles, but it is also a wonderful place to study with the aroma of the beans roasting. I love this place.“
“It’s busy most of the day- people chatting, working, reading- If you want to feel like you are at a hip coffee shop, this is it. The wifi is free and great. There are outlets by almost every seat. The bathrooms are clean. The drip coffee is always on point, and the baristas are speedy and kind.Dietary restrictions: All the alternative milks. Gluten free and vegan pastries. The baristas will answer any questions.“
“This is such a great local coffee place! They have coffee, frappes, smoothies, and flavored red bulls with seasonal drinks for different times of the year, such as valentines and St. Patrick's day. All of their baked goods are super tasty just like their drinks!“
“I stop here every chance I get .this place beats ALL with their kaluah hand dipped shakes SO DELICIOUSand worth the price.Ive never had to wait very long and the staff is always very friendly even when they are very busy I have been going here for many years I LOVE THIS PLACE i hope they never close“
“Had a coffee here recently. The staff was super helpful regarding describing their coffee flavor profiles. My Americano was very smooth, expertly prepared. The muffins we tried were both dry and not very tasty. Really appreciated the staff making an effort to find a bean that I would enjoy.“
“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. ??“
“Awesome little place. Right on the Streetcar route. Abba is pioneering new coffee and drink options; notably the Pistachio latte and the sesame seed latte. These are not made with flavored syrup, instead made in-house into a paste. Abba also boasts a beautiful live in house coffee tree.Parking: Abba is right along the streetcar track in NW Portland, easy to access by foot, bike, or streetcar. Parking is possible, but not nearly as fun as the streetcar.“
“The place looks not so orderly but the guy that worked there was friendly and the people there seemed also friendly.The coffee was very affordable with a mediocre taste.Parking: Even if one might not find just next to their door you should be able able to find a free parking spot very close this place.“
“Great and friendly service, and the drinks are so good. Definitely try their seasonal drinks but if you’re weary try their regular menu. The coconut cream latte and Ube latte are some of my favorite, but on days I crave matcha the strawberry matcha is so refreshing. For food I’d definitely recommend the house special bánh mì and for dessert get a donut from Heyday usually in a display case by the register.“
“Mudd Works has turned into my #1 favorite place to get coffee. As someone who was born and raised in Portland—and drinks coffee every morning—that’s saying something. Their Chili Mex is the most well-balanced interpretation of a Mexican Mocha I’ve had to date, and their service is impeccable. You can tell they genuinely love their work and their customers. Mudd Works is a hidden gem, don’t miss out!“
“I’ve given up the corporate coffee shops and have decided to support local businesses. It was tough to switch from the coffee I was used to down in Eugene but once I found Thornton Family Coffee Roasters I was all set. The only complaint I might have is that they occasionally don’t have my favorite flavor and I have to get a substitute. That is never really a bad thing when it comes to this place though. These people have it down to a science.“
“BREWED LIFE has been my daily coffee / Espresso supplier for years and I'm so grateful to the AMAZING main HBIC Randa ❤️ She always has a genuine smile for me and every single day makes sure my drink is the way I like; integrity matters. small business mean a lot to the community and this one has my heart. The coffee beans are the BEST! I grab a bag to take home each week and for gift giving!“
“Hands down best cappuccino foam in town. Possibly even the state. Maybe the world? idk I haven’t been to every coffee shop but I figure why bother at this point. Amazing drinks, pastries, prices, and, most importantly, incredible mother daughter duo making the world a better place one drink at a time.“
“All killer, no filler. Incredible traditional coffee drinks. Expert barista. Prices that are probably too low for the excellent quality. This isn't a place where you will study or meet people. It's a tiny shop. But it's a place where your 10 minutes there will rejuvenate your day. It's quiet, smooth, and excellent.“
“I generally gauge coffee shops by their cold brew, and this coffee shop has a smooth, creamy, very easy to drink cold brew option. I ordered a sesame bagel and hopped into a little booth to do some work. Overall, the vibe is very laid back, great music, and strong WiFi. I’m really glad I ducked into this cute little coffee shop!“
“A beautifully clean, airy, and comfortable industrial space. It's modern and cozy-a great place to sit and read solo, or come chat with a friend. Service is friendly and everything feels curated with great attention to detail. Pour over menu is extensive. I had coffee (they have fun fusion lattes to explore), and will want to come back to make my way through their equally extensive tea menu. Food is limited to a few mochi sweet pastries-I wouldn't have minded a bit more selection. The stoneware elevates the drinking experience. I recommend getting your drinks "for here"; sit, and enjoy for a moment.“
“This place is similar to my favorite coffee shops I used to visit in Awassa and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The coffee is great and I like the upstairs area with comfortable seats and a quiet place to read or talk with a friend. I love that the shop is dedicated to their Grandmother Yigebe.“
“Tried Carnelian for the first time this morning and what a hidden gem! I had an iced orange mocha and was really happy to find out all of their flavors/syrups are housemade and organic. I'm not usually a fan of fruity flavors in espresso, but I was really impressed with how smooth and balanced my drink was. The atmosphere in the place is very warm and our barista was kind and patient while we decided our order. The food options are assorted pastries and bagels with shmear. Small tables available in the back room for getting work done and on a sunny day they have tables outside. Will be coming back here!“
“Lovely staff and great coffee. I love their chai coffee in particular. I wish they were open longer on weekends as I might like to try a cocktail they apparently have the ability to make....but such drinks in the morning are not desirable and during weekdays they close at 5pm.“
“One of OG coffee houses in Portland still offers delicious coffee in an industrial setting. I like the high ceilings, huge windows and solid furniture. I feel they lend themselves to creativity. I found free parking on a side street, but there's 2-hour metered parking right outside. The only perk of the metered parking is that it keeps the sketchy vans that never leave away- iykyk I still get a kick out the fact Jerry Seinfeld was here. My service experience was prompt-unlike his Portland famous experience“
“Met a friend here for coffee and loved it. I tried an ube + coconut iced coffee and it was delicious. They also have each of us a free cookie (also delicious) with our coffees which was delightful. I will certainly be back!Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly beverages and cookies“
“I ordered the Mexican Hot chocolate with almond milk made with the chocolate from Vietnam.It's rich with some spice to it and not just hot.My wife got the chocolate chill. It was super good!This has been the best drinking chocolate experience I've had by far.Highly recommend it.“
“Been wanting to try this place and am really glad I did. I will definitely be back. The breakfast sando doesn't look like much, but it tastes incredible. Got my son a waffle and that was also tasty. Would love to try more of their coffees!“
“I can't say enough wonderful things about our neighborhood coffee shop. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and a warm inviting atmosphere.The staff is incredibly friendly and thoughtful. They know my husband and I regular coffee order. Now lets talk about the coffee. Its not just a drink but they roast everything in house. They source the beans meticulously and it shows in every cup. The pastries and treats are also quite delicious.The quality of the coffee, the warmth of staff and the cozy atmosphere make this coffee shop an absolute gem in our neighborhood.“
“I have been using them for my espresso supplier for almost a year now!! I get compliments all the time and all my customers love their coffee!! I've introduced the nitro cold brew and it has been a success as well! Customer service is phenomenal!KellyNaked Cat CoffeeStayton, Or“
“Sipping a natural Colombian Wush Wush pour over. Tasty, bright, very complex, just like sweet juice. Intense but in a good way.A house blend cappuccino (Brazil + Ethiopia) was good, too. A tad too roasty, but it’s always a tad roasty if there’s Brazil in it, usually. Still smooth and not smokey.Also there’s food served here that looks good. Didn’t have any, since wasn’t hungry, but had I been, I’d definitely check it out.Great shop!“
“Such a cozy neighborhood spot down by the riverfront! My boyfriend and I split the maple breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito (adding in the bacon, pickled onions and sriracha mayo) and both were SO delicious and filling. The oats and honey latte iced added the perfect bit of sweetness to our breakfast too. I am already planning to return to try out the chocolate chip cookies and other baked goods (and the beers!! Highly recommend!“
“My favorite coffee of all time, Organic Joe! Excellent friendly and knowledgeable service combined with perfectly fresh roasted coffee and superior equipment have literally changed my morning cup of coffee. The coffee I have daily, at home, is better than anything most coffee shops can offer me. My new Moccamaster coffee maker was an investment but in the long run I am saving so much time and money...skipping the coffee shop stop a few times a week. I literally didn't know what I was missing. Thanks Corey for the awesome coffee/equipment hook-up!“
