The aesthetics at 40 LBS Coffee + Bar are seriously on point. The industrial modern design mixed with warm wood accents and open concrete ceilings gives it that clean Pacific Northwest coffeehouse vibe without feeling too pretentious. The coffee was solid, and it's a nice spot to sit down, relax, or get some work done while hanging out downtown. I also liked how spacious it felt compared to a lot of tighter Portland cafés. Definitely feels like one of those places you can stay awhile instead of just grabbing a drink and leaving. read more

I found the coffee to be pretty average. I was hoping to try a few of their specialty drinks, like the Vietnamese coffee, but they were sold out when I visited, so I ended up going with a latte instead. I liked that they use Krakow organic syrups, but I was a little disappointed that I couldn't really taste the pistachio flavor in my pistachio latte or the hazelnut in the americano so they might be do fewer pumps of syrups in their coffee. The space itself has lots of seating, which is a plus if you're looking for somewhere to hang out for a while. They also have a pool table, which could be a fun activity if you're coming here for a date or with friends. When I visited, they were playing the World Cup game, so it had a casual and lively atmosphere. Overall, the drinks didn't stand out to me, but the space is comfortable and has some fun elements that make it a decent spot to hang out. read more

40 LBS Coffee + Bar - Pistachio latte & Hazelnut Americano w/ a splash of cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wouldn't have even known this was an evening drinks option in downtown if not for my pal's private party here. I just thought it was a daytime coffee counter, but apparently at night it transforms to a low key casual hang with lite bites, beer and wine and a surprisingly creative (but short) cocktail list. The interior is interesting-- tall ceilings and lots of concrete but tempered by lots of exposed natural wood and a good proportion of windows. Somehow airy but also not too cold. There's a big u-shaped bar where the very attentive staff slings those very solid drinks (I had the Aviation). Nice to know it's here, right across from the World Trade Center....but also be warned that parking can be super tricky in this neighborhood. read more

Its been awhile since I've back here. I forgot about the full bar that they have as well as the regular cofeee/tea drinks. I had the iced vietnamese coffee (with a lil milk added to make it less sweet) and it was great. The inherit is nicely designed and gives that welcoming vibe to it. read more

Came in the morning to this coffee shop in the Yamhill District. 40 LBS has been here awhile and has since opened a few more locations. It has coffee of course along with some other things. A small inside area with a few tables so it's not good for big groups. The prices are pretty okay for being hipster. Basic menu of mostly coffee. It's about $5 to get a latte. They have a few non dairy milks. Good coffee but honestly nothing extraordinary. The food menu is pretty paltry. It's about $2 for a bagel. There's limited choices of toppings except for butter and cream cheese, and maybe jelly. Basically not much for vegans to eat. The atmosphere is pretty cool so it has that at least. For the original location come here. It's on SW 2nd Avenue at Taylor. They're closed Wednesdays. read more

Stopped by here after eating a delicious sandwich at break bread and realized we needed a little coffee pick me up. The coffee here was so good and they had some great seasonal coffee options too which were very fun. I love that they also had cocktail, Mocktail, wine & beer options too. Service was great and the inside is super cute and cozy. I hope to come back and try their food next time. read more

FYI this location is across the street from the Portland police department, so almost all customers were police officers, lawyers and other gov workers. A few blocks north is another 40lb, which is just the shop and not a coffee shop + bar The interior was so beautiful! Tons of places to sit, and a great place meet up with others of put on some headphones and work. They serve coava coffee, and my drink was delicious! Would def return to get some work done! read more

What a lovely spot! Love the food here, and their coffee is delicious! I usually order an iced latte and avocado toast. The avocado toast has been prepared a bit differently each time I've visited--sometimes spicy, sometimes not--but it's always tasted great, so I don't mind the variation. The space is very open and have always had great service. read more

Found this place because it was convenient to my hotel, so I ordered a latte and a breakfast burrito, and wow! Maybe the best breakfast burrito I've ever had! And the latte was excellent too! I was really surprised. Cute place, good service, fun ambience. I will make a point to come back here when my work brings me back to downtown Portland! read more

The worst chai latte I've ever had. Usually chai lattes are delicious and creamy. The chai I got was neither one of those. It tasted mostly chai spiced and a lot of water. Like super watered down. I also substitute the milk with coconut milk for an extra $2, but didn't taste any coconut milk at all. I'm not sure if the barista forgot to include coconut milk but the chai looked good but tasted horrible. I checked how the chai color looked and it was super light brown, like a watered down chai. Most likely she forgot the milk. It was too late as we got it and left! What a waste. read more

First time here. Ended up going to the wrong location. There are 3 of them, all in short distances from one another, can be confusing. I was meeting 3 people for a business meeting and it took me to the wrong one, luckily the correct location was only a block and a half over. I was looking for the one with the bar, the bigger location. It's nice, decent seating space, and good customer service. I didn't order any food just a drink that the barista surprised me with. Not sure what she made me but it was pretty good. I forgot to take pics. I would visit this location again. read more

All five drinks we ordered were excellent including matcha, Vietnamese coffee, and hot chocolate. The place is gorgeously decorated with high end Oregon charm. Staff was very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The bahn mi sandwich (in uniquely fluffy baguette bread) and avocado toast were fresh and perfectly flavored. Overall great vibes here at 40 LBS - an unexpected highlight of my Portland visit read more

If you have been to the other location down the street you know what a great ship this is. I was surprised when the owner opened a new location so large and near his other location in downtown right near the dark days of COVID. He not only opened it but also upped the experience by adding a bar to this location. The interior has a great vibe with wood and warm decor that makes you want to just hang out. Coffee is always outstanding and the bar cocktails are excellent in quality and creativity. Bottle selection in my opinion is spot on for variety and shelf position. Last but not least great service to go with it all. If you are working downtown, staying downtown or passing through you need to stop in and enjoy this great place!!! read more

Love every single thing about this place! Fabulous coffee, delicious pastries - including figgy scones and croissants from Bakeshop, my favorite bakery - a super cool interior and vibe, stellar customer service, plus a full bar! Yep, you heard that right! Whether you need a coffee and pastry to start your day or a cocktail or glass of wine after work, 40 LBS coffee & Bar has you covered! Located on the bottom of the One Main building, which has one of the best looking lobbies in town, right near the World Trade Center, it's definitely worth seeking out. They actually have a smaller location just a few blocks north on 2nd with the same coffee, pastries and sophisticated yet casual vibe, but I like this location best. Inside is all natural wood, a long counter along the window that is fantastic for people watching, plus several tables and nooks to hang out in. fir Those working in the area, you can stop in and grab a bottle of wine to go. They even have a small section of gifts - candles, cookbooks, tea. Whatever your craving, coffee or a craft cocktail, you can't go wrong here! read more

This place is perfect for a quick or leisurely breakfast. The breakfast pastries are delicious, and the hot food offerings are both excellent and affordable. There is ample space to sit, the music isn't turned up too loudly, and the staff is kind. The smaller joint down the street is also good for a to-go breakfast (no full-fledged kitchen). Highlights are the breakfast burrito and the banana chocolate muffin. Thank you for being a great establishment! read more

Wow. I loved their original location and this new one is also so classy. They've added excellent cocktails to the new space as well as their excellent coffee based drinks. Great folks work here, one of the best coffee shops around. Hope to return again soon. read more

So I do like this place and I do get coffee here about twice per week. Good space, nice music playing, and friendly staff. My issue is that 40lb have raised prices recently on just plain coffee and discontinued their loyalty punch card. This makes me consider the frequency of my visits and tip. If I'm getting black coffee to go do I really want to pay +3$ and then tack-on .50$ because it was poured into a paper cup? 12 oz. of coffee even with overhead has to be 1.25$ even at full retail mark-up that's just 2.50$ per cup. read more

Enjoyed my latte, nice and strong, instead of milky or watery. Didn't try the bar or the morning snacks, seemed limited - hence the 4 stars. Good atmosphere and not crowded on the weekends. Quick and good service, will come back next time we're in Portland. read more

Stopped in for a coffee and quick breakfast before taking a walk down the waterfront. Delicious! I tried their coffee special of the day while my husband had their drip. Both were great but the coffee was so excellent, I wish I had done something plain to better taste the roast. We also had their avocado toast which was way fancier and tastier than I expected. (Who knew?!) My husband also decided to have a bahn mi for breakfast because why not? Honestly, that was the highlight. So good. read more

On our last morning in Portland we stopped by 40 LBS. Such a great aesthetic and vibe inside - and hot, fresh coffee! My only regret is not having breakfast there....next trip! Friendly staff, too.

Beautiful coffee shop with gorgeous interior and good coffee. I love hanging out here though sometimes their hours are confusing. We've gone there only to find them closed when online it says they are open. The coffee is really good. I hope they keep using Oatly milk as it just makes the best lattes. They use Coava coffee, a really good local company. Sometimes the music is too loud but at least it's good, so I can enjoy it, though when with friends they have says it was too loud. This place is one of my favorite coffee shops in Portland, and anywhere. It's really beautiful and airy and overall has a great vibe. read more

The coffee is great. I love coming here. I've been going to 40 lbs since they originally opened. It's my go to study spot, my "I just survived finals" spot and just a great place to get the best avocado toast! The only reason I can't give them five stars is because the last few times I've tried to go down on the weekends and according to their website and social media they should be open. And they're not. Tried to reach out to the owner and got nothing back. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops to frequent when I'm in the downtown area. Housed inside an office building on the first floor, I've had their drip coffee, matcha latte, and their normal lattes and all have been fantastic. The employees are always friendly and the drinks come out fast. A couple of coworkers I went here with ordered food from here too and spoke highly of their food offerings. Solid spot for coffee, I'll continue to come back here whenever I'm in the area! read more

The locals know this is a gem of a place. It has everything we love from delicious coffee made by sweet people with kind attitudes to a beautiful authentic NW-inspired aesthetic with several seating options. And only locals know they have several excellent inexpensive surprise food options - many of which are Vietnamese with super fresh ingredients. Banh Mi bites are a must. Rice bowl with pork belly. Or a stepped up avocado toast. And the best surprise is the lovely mixed drinks and small but excellent selection of whiskey which you can enjoy throughout the day but we downtown workers run to in the short window of time before they close early evening. read more
