Had the most delicious orange cardamom latte last week. Although I wasn't hungry the pastries looked fantastic and my colleague got one and said it was fantastic. We sat and worked for a bit in the back. There's WiFi and ample power outlets for those who want to work. The place was busy the entire two hours we were there. There's a small shared parking lot which is fantastic because it's mostly street parking around there. I really loved the decor, we sat in the back where the wall was like an old garage door and the ceiling was covered with old coffee beans sacks. Can't wait to go back! read more

Albina Press - Orange cardamom latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Awesome location. Great ambiance that now might be considered "Old School": distressed wood and some dark brown leather with big metal ducting overhead. Staff is friendly and the Mt Tabor location is cozy. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the general area, maybe not so much a special trip though. read more

I've come here so many times, shocked I haven't rated it yet. One of my fave spots in the area, beats the others around. Great service, delicious coffee. I love getting a hot or iced vanilla oatmilk latte. Reminds me of Seattle coffee. When I decide to spoil myself, I order their cinnamon croissants. They're so good, flakey & surprisingly not super sweet. I haven't sat in their seating but there are always others working here. Seems like a chill spot. read more

I walked here on a stroll when i was in portland, wanting to wake up early and start the day kind of thing. During walking I passed by these beautiful murals and then next thing I know I am in here. Got a cup of coffee, someone who looked like a resident who was here that is just filling out crossword puzzles, it felt like a vibe. The space is really open concept, which is nice, less cramped. Its a short walk from our airbnb in Mississippi mission street, and their coffee is very flavorful. would definitely come back. they have their own parking lot and also street parking available. there is also their own bathroom. great place to get work done, relax and chill. would def come back and visit read more

I swung in on a cold, rainy Portland morning. The coffee and the great vibe at Albina Press warmed me up and got my day off to a great start. We ordered pretty quickly, it did take a few minutes, because the one barista was handling a lot of orders! I had a vanilla latte, absolutely delicious! This is the coffee you hope to get when you need to start a day right. It was smooth and flavorful. The interior is spacious and there was plenty of seating for the crowd at 6am. Great service, great coffee! read more

spend every morning in a coffee shop working remotely, and this was my first stop on my two weeks in Portland. it was disappointing.The music was blaringly loud . second, they had no way to heat up my savory marsant. Last, not even discounted for in-house drip black coffee refill. she said it's because the first cup is inexpensive. But it $3 in a small mug. the employees, the building and space and the vibe are nice. however, I would not return.I spent a couple weeks here in 2023 and found many other more favorable coffee shops. Great potential here though. read more

It's great to have a coffee shop around that's open in the afternoon! The ambiance is comfortable, no frills, and has an abundance of seats, so it's just about perfect for working or studying. Staff is friendly enough; no issues there. I've tried their coffee- it's not mind-blowing, but it's pleasant and good enough. They've never served me coffee that's turned sour, which I can't say for a lot of cafes in Portland. I will say I LOVE their chai- it is incredibly well spiced and not too weak. I wish it turned out as good when I make it myself at home. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was a seasonal drink I ordered once that had a lemon syrup, which had a smell of artificial lemon cleaner to me... I wonder if a real lemon syrup might curdle the drinks, and that's why? Either way I'd steer clear of that. read more

Ordered a hot vanilla latte and really enjoyed it. 8/10. The seasonal flavors they had as an option I do have to say were a little weird so I just went with an OG instead and was not disappointed. Nice studying vibes with plenty of tables. read more

Theee stars for coffee, 1 for customer service. Was the only customer at the counter. No eye contact, no hello, standoffish pretentious smug barista. Not friendly. Won't be back. MY money will be spent elsewhere!! read more

Been going to Albina Press every morning for almost 10 years. They have great staff and make a perfect latte. They have an assortment of pastries that will melt in your mouth. Aside from lattes they also make every special drink you can order. Overhead music is a masters touch. read more

Honestly this espresso shop would be great if their baristas didn't clean their espresso machines 45 minutes before close. Business days "open till 6pm" but I've been turned away TWO times because they "already cleaned the espresso machine." I can understand a few minutes before close, but this was 30+ minutes is ridiculous. Lost my business. read more

I came here to get some work done, and I enjoyed my experience here! I would agree that the music is pretty loud, but I didn't mind that. There was plenty of seating and some seats near outlets, which was a plus. I enjoyed my iced latte, which I added the seasonal cardamom syrup to. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will say it got pretty hot in there as Portland is getting increasingly warm, which made sitting inside a little uncomfortable. With the fans running, the heat was manageable. read more

We went here on a Sunday afternoon. The coffee was pretty good. The barristas were pleasant and the atmosphere was okay. We're not into the "woke" culture that was on display here. Probably won't go back. read more

This is a fun little place to hang out! I love the inside and the colorful wall outside of the building. My friends and I all got mochas and hot chocolates. The chocolate flavor was a bit too bitter for me - almost like unsweetened cacao powder. The coffee flavor was excellent, though. I loved how they made fun designs on the coffee - going the extra mile is always a plus! read more

Not sure what the compliments are about. The barista looked bored and uninterested in serving. Coffee was just OK. The bake goods were lackluster and they didn't have the provision to heat up the croissant. read more

2 for the pastries and 5 for the coffee. Pastries were not freshly made and a bit stale which was disappointing. Coffee, on the other hand, was good. Solid, strong brews. We came in on a Saturday morning and it was pretty packed. Regardless of the line, service was still really fast. Ambiance is super home-y. Cozy and inviting with a lot of natural light. Music is a little bit on the louder side for those who want to study. read more

Great local coffee shop! Really cute inside with personality. Looks like under non pandemic times would be really cozy and nice to hang out at. I haven't had chai in a while bc I end up getting Starbucks more often for convenience sakes and their chai is just awful. So glad to try the chai here and taste warmth and flavor. Chai is just pure happiness. It's nice that you can order online and skip the line. They have several baristas working and a steady stream of clientele. Would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the neighborhood! read more

Super tasty... Lots of great roasters in Portland- count Coava in that group. We had very good cappuccinos from here.

My boyfriend and I stopped into this coffee shop while we were traveling through Portland on a Tuesday afternoon and had a great experience! We both work remote and were able to grab a cup of cold brew fast and hop online within a couple of minutes. There was ample seating both indoor and outdoor with outlets readily available at most tables. The Wi-Fi also worked great. The barista on 8/23/22 was also so sweet! I could overhear her greeting regular customers by name and conversing politely as she brewed the drinks. In fact, at one point a homeless man (clearly tweaking out on drugs) walked in and came up to her and she even handled that situation graciously. Speaking to him with the upmost respect. Props! The only reason I'm knocking off a star is because it does get extremely hot in the late afternoons if you're planning to stay and drink your coffee there. It was close to 90 degrees outside and they had a few floor fans on but no AC. After half an hour of working we were both sweating. I really wanted to try a hot latte because of the cute art they do, but knew I wouldn't be able to drink something hot in that environment. Other than that, we had a great experience! If I lived here this would be a regular spot for me. Definitely recommend. read more

Visited this cafe for the first time today and it was a satisfactory experience. If you're planning to get some work done there, I recommend bringing some earphones like I did since the noise level is pretty high. It's definitely a more conversational space. Although they do have a few couch options, their wooden chairs are pretty uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. My table was located in a secluded corner adjacent to the lounge and was unfortunately pretty wobbly, as was the chair. The furniture's wobbliness was due to the uneven floor and made it a bit difficult to get comfortable at first but I got used to it after a while. In terms of their menu, the Red Pepper and Pesto Marsant was a delicious and savory pastry that I really enjoyed! My matcha latte was okay, I've definitely had better ones. All in all, a decent space with a cute vibe but doesn't make for a great work atmosphere. read more

Albina Press - Vegan blueberry muffin and drip coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I got excited that the guy taking my order said they have decaf coffee - they don't. It's an americano. He charged me for more but I let it go. and the barista explained what an Americano is to me like I was born yesterday when I tasted grossness, going out of her way to be condescending. I don't know if that's because of my accent or what, but it was xenophobic and a huge reason why immigrants are embarrassed to speak, because of cruel white Americans like her who act like this. When I asked why the counter bro said they have decaf coffee, he said it's the same thing like she did. But no, they're not the same, the name alone betrays the history that Americanos were made in Italy for Americans during the war because they couldn't handle real coffee and needed watered down garbage coffee. Also people with taste buds can tell the difference, cc: barista guy who acts exactly like one of the white stoners in those SNL sketches of " The Californians." read more

Excellent coffee in a beautiful space! I needed a spot away from the staring eyes of my shih-poo to prep for an upcoming webinar, and the library WiFi wasn't working. This cafe had been recommended so I decided to try it out. They were still limiting seating inside, but I easily scored a spot. I'm sensitive to caffeine but love the flavor of dark-roasted coffee, so I was thrilled to receive a delicious decaf latte, that was beautiful too. Their WiFi worked great and I was able to accomplish a lot in a well-lit, airy space. read more

I found it more hyped than it deserves to be . we made a little bit of a drive to get coffee here and were slightly disappointed with the overall experience. The space is big and well lit , however no place to sit at all and outside seating is not covered so if its raining or bad weather ,your best bet is only take-out .It looked like a great spot to work or study as there was no blaring music and lots of seating (not in use currently) .I ordered an expresso and asked the barista what kind of brew they had for their drip and she said she had no idea . My husband ordered the chai and when I inquired that was it pre-sweetened or not , she said it came from a box pre sweetened ,however that was not the case .The chai was pretty amazing and had she told me that it was unsweetened would have ordered one for myself too. If you do not know what you are serving your customer , perhaps ask your colleagues or make an effort to know about your offerings .Ordered the Muffin and a croissant and when I asked them to heat it ,they said they can`t. The croissant tasted great when we heated it back at home however the Muffin was a little stale and not that good . They also have Coffee packs and French press for sale. Service was lack -luster but fast . read more

Albina Press - Cappuccino 16oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great coffee shop! I'm always on the hunt for a good place to study as a graduate student. This place is one of my go to places to study. Prices are reasonable, not too loud, and lots of natural lighting, parking, and outlet access. Their menu is pretty simple and they do have tea pots. I usually get their chai latte. They don't have any actual meals on the menu, but they do have pastries (cookies, muffins etc). There's several tables here and lots of comfortable sofas. They have 4 sofas which is amazing! It might be hard to get tables next to outlets or even table seating when it gets crowded. I usually would just chill on the sofas until a table becomes free. Overall great place to chill out to get some work done or catch up with some friends. Joanne's cafe rating for studying: Seating: 3.5/5 Wish there was more seating and bigger tables. Most of the tables are pretty small (2 seat table) and a couple of bigger tables (3 seat table). Comfortable sofas! Outlets: 3/5 Some outlets along the side of the wall. There are outlets next to the high table window seating and in the back room with the sofas. Parking: 4/5 There is free street parking for several hours. It is close to some neighborhoods so I think you can get some free parking a little further. There is also a small lot for parking. Lighting: 4/5 Pretty bright which is great for studying. Lots of natural lighting in the front room. It is darker in the backroom with the sofas. Price: 4/5 Pretty reasonable. Noise: 4/5 Not too loud and they play some pretty chill music. It can get a little loud when there are big groups of ppl chatting. Most ppl come here to get work done. Menu: 3/5 It would be better if they have sandwiches or meal items. Hours: 4/5 Great! Closes later than most coffee shops in Portland so you can get more hours of studying in the day. read more

Quirky old fashioned coffee shop located in the NE. There is a lot of space. Many chairs and tables and a couple of large couches splattered around. There is also one student-ready desk that can be snagged if you come in at the right time. The baristas as Albina take their time in making their lattes, they even warm their cups beforehand so your latte doesn't go cold. They take time to make latte art in every cup which is pleasing to the eye and taste buds. Chairs are a little uncomfortable so not recommended for the long period studiers of the world. Great place to catch up with friends or a midday pick-me-up. read more

Albina Press was right by the house I stayed in. Of all the coffee houses I've visited in Portland, Albina Press best creates a coffee house that really feels like the neighborhood coffee house. Albina sits on the corner. Windows highlighted in red Christmas lights. Inviting. Through the rain. Inside the local street artists spaces his newest canvas on the walls. Three baby tea plants grow in packed dirt into an espresso press. Wooden floors that rise in the back to a living room with warm couches and a coat rack. In the middle the baristas take orders and make art in my foamy cappuccino. Simon and Garfunkel dances on the speakers. All is good. Great for family friends. read more
