    [Ambiance] I love how intentionally the cafe was set up and decorated. Bison Coffee House is Portland's only Native-owned coffee establishment. It is a safe space for Natives, and also support veterans. The cafe is very spacious and beautiful. I love the flowers out front and the natural light inside. [Drink] I tried one of the seasonal specials--a hot brown butter latte with oat milk. Delicious! You get a choice of light, medium or dark roast espresso. I opted for dark and it was smooth and delicious. [Other] I bought a shirt-sleeve shirt to support the local business for only $22. High quality and cute design. [Service] The two employees that helped me were very patient, kind and helpful. I asked a lot of questions and was met with a level of patience that unfortunately is rare in cafes. I highly recommend this coffee shop!

    My favorite part of this coffee house is the option to pick what type of roast you would like your espresso drink made from. I've tried their medium roast and decaf selection and both are full bodied, rich and incredibly smooth. Baristas are always lovely and answer all my questions. Usually take my order to go but the inside is a cozy western-ish theme!

    I visited Bison Coffee House a few weeks ago. I came there to work and to read. The space is decorated so well. I love the bison head. There are also a ton of drinks to choose from and a great selection of pastries. The service was friendly. There's also a nice back patio area as well. I got a sweet cream scone that had berries in it and a chai. The scone was soft, buttery, and delicious. The chai was good. Since I was at the shop for awhile, I got a second drink. The other drink that I got was a strawberry matcha which was equally delicious as the other things. I'll definitely come back here and I highly recommend that you check out this coffee shop.

    Twix special latte 12/10 : lots of flavor, not bitter, perfectly smooth flow of bourbon caramel and coffee Veggie Bagel w' CC 10/10 : refreshing tomatoes and cucumbers, sharp onion flavor and creamy cream cheese Almond Danish cookie 10/10 : (not sure of the actual name) nice crunch without tasting dry, nice sweetness but not overbearing The owners were super nice and helpful with any questions I had about the different flavor of coffees. Unique ambiance- it was nice!

    Speechless but appreciative for sure my mouth is delighted the coffee cake and ricotta. Abel are a must try and the lavender latte is to die for. They should've just called it kamikaze coffee Mz. SaVistication

    After landing in Portland we were hungry and needed coffee really bad. Found this little spot and was really happy with the lattes that we ordered and all the breakfast and pastries that we ordered. Inside is kind of small but they had outside patio seating which was super cute. We'll be coming back for sure next time we're in Portland.

    Many of us have probably zoomed past this coffee house without realizing there was a jem sitting there waiting to be noticed all along. Sure it's on a busy road but it is definitely worth the pull over. They utilize a walk up window for now. And there's some outdoor seating. I ordered a bacon cheddar biscuit, a brownie and a warm bourbon apple cider. I ate the brownie too fast for pics (that's how good it was). The biscuit was unbelievable. I haven't had a biscuit in portland that wasn't semi hard by the time it was in my hands so this was a huge plus for me. And my drink was delicious. I would totally refer Bison to anyone looking for drinks and eats at a coffee shop in the NE.

Our dog was with us and she was happy to simply be mellow laying out in the sun. One child came over and asked what kind of dog she was and what was her name and if she could pet her. Shiba Inu, Mochi and yes. I saw some comments about prices being on the higher side. I recognize what people are saying. It's unfortunate that so many things seem to be getting out of reach of many Americans. I wish I had the magic wand that would make it so that more people could afford what they needed and that the business owners would still make a decent profit and share some of that with their employees in the form of living wages and benefits. I'm old school and we managed to both save and invest during our working lives. And now in retirement, we still don't spend like there's no tomorrow. If we can't afford something, we just don't do it.

It was full of color and dripping in plants. The staff were really friendly and I loved the idea of the cards that they give you instead of a number while waiting for your order. I tried something new and went with the Saparilla Spice Latte at the recommendation of the barista. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. I thought the oak milk flavor overwhelmed anything but the spice. I thought this would be mostly flavor spicy, but it was actually REALLY hot spicy. I couldn't actually finish it between not being thrilled with the flavor and the spiciness. I would come back and try a latte, perhaps with their house made butterscotch and rosemary syrup, but I likely won't go too far out of my comfort zone next time.
