It's a great, small spot to sit, drink espresso, and pretend you're in Italy. The Tuscan theme pairs well with its outside seating, and the service was polite and friendly. Highly recommend for the old souls who still appreciate the act of sitting to enjoy a coffee, as well as those in a rush and bored of whatever they usually get at the Starbucks down the road. I would absolutely go again. read more

Nice staff, clearly a favorite with locals. And it's great to see Illy being served -- takes me back to my days growing up in NYC and drinking espresso in Little Italy back when that was the only place that served it . It's in a strip mall that's kinda tricky to get into but once you're in it has a nice semi secluded feeling read more

Love love love this place. Super friendly staff, not overpriced. They have great quality coffee and I have never been dissatisfied when I have gone. My dad has been going here since he was a young adult and now takes me once in a while. It's a very calming friendly environment and I can not recommend this place enough. Much better than Starbucks and Dutch bros for coffee. read more

Love this friendly gem across the parking lot from Ricardos! The breakfast sandwiches are the best I've ever had. They have Illy coffee which is my favorite. Great outdoor garden and they have Italian wine and foodie gifts too. read more

A go-to for great coffee! Staff are always very friendly. The regulars are fun people too. You can pick up a yummy bottle of wine for dinner, and prices are very reasonable!! You can always find a dog under someone's table. Outside seating too. read more

My go to coffee spot when I'm home. It's the perfect place to grab a coffee on the go while still feeling connected to the community, or to sit inside in the winter or out on the patio in the summer. It's the best quality coffee I've had in LO, and they have a super cool wine selection too, everyone there really knows their stuff. Whether it's the staff or the customers, you can really feel the sense of community when you walk in. read more

Wonderful coffee and Italian sandwiches. Service is always great! I also like to support small local businesses

I went here on a Sunday morning. It's a relatively small place, a corridor with about 5-6 tables. You're always within earshot of all of them. There is a cabinet with exotic looking wine on one end and the barista/cash counter on the other. There are a few snacks available as well, but the coffee is of course the main attraction. I thought I knew something about the espresso coffee variants, but I found myself stumped by the names of the drinks on there, and put on the spot, I went for the usual latte. Next time I will do more research beforehand and definitely pick one of the more exotic drinks. The coffee tasted great! Give it a try if you are looking for something different. read more

Cafe Marzocca - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

lots of good coffee places in the portland/suburban portland area but this is easily my favorite. the Carmello latte tastes like a hug when hot, and like straight ice cream when cold. not too sweet both ways somehow? amazing, would rec. also the girl that works here is really nice and I've always rocked with her vibe. she reminds me of 2019 and I'm not gonna expand on that read more

Decided to get a cold brew on nitro and my mind is blown. Leaps and bounds better then any cold brew I have ever had. I updated my review to a five star from a four star. This place is hands down the best coffee I have ever had and it is literally 2 minutes from my house! The baristas are knowledgeable and always polite. I love their outdoor seating it is a great place to chill and sip your Java. read more

Cafe Marzocca - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Cafe Marzocca is a gem. They have a nice interior and exterior with plenty of fancy Italian espresso drinks. Wanna know what makes coffee even better? Wine tasting afterward! They have $10 wine tastings (with food included) every second Saturday of the month. This runs from noon to 3, and is veryyyyyyy popular, so come at least 30 min early if you want a good seat. read more

Loved the European, neighborhood vibe and the illy coffee! It was fun that its dog friendly too. I'll be back!

We call it "The Zocc." And so should you. Every coffee drink. Every biscotti. Look at the wine. Meet the friendly customers. In summer, sit out under the firs. Get a big paint-by-number of a clown, unpack it at a table, paint that sucker right up. read more

simply great coffee service with a smile, and they remember your face and name dog friendly, and lots of friendly dogs highly loyal clientele, see the same people amongst the crowds, week in and week out. Outside in the back, under the trees on the bocci court, lovely, quiet and a great conversation venue read more

Had coffee and dessert here the other day and can appreciate that it is a cute shop and coffee stop and a hole in the wall, although I was greatly underwhelmed. We ordered 3 different espresso based drinks and a came out cold (although they were all hot drinks) and we ordered some danishes that were not very fresh. read more

Finally decided to stop by today on my day off for my birthday. It was filled with regulars and everyone knew each other's names. My kinda place! My goal now is to be a regular. They had a few pastry samples on the counter and the menu was super clean cut and modern. Descriptions of each drink all with illy coffee. Got a cafe latte to go since I never know if my little one will decide to suddenly freak out on me. My little guy got obsessed with the peanut butter cookie samples and the barista said it was the last one and packed the rest of the samples in a bag for me. So nice! Also got the cranberry apple tart and it was delish! The cafe latte was a perfect pair. Can't wait to go back to earn regular status! read more

Yes this is a tiny cafe but who can say no to Illy coffee?? I fell in love with Illy coffee in Paris. It has a very unique strong aroma that no other coffee has yet able to beat. So I was super excited when I found that unique logo on the side of the street when I drove by Boones Ferry road. The decor inside is nice. Not overwhelming but cozy. They share the same parking lot and owner with Vin Italy and Ricardo's Restorante. Now I just wish they have the same soft fluffy chocolate croissant I had in France.... read more

I'm at Cafe Marzocca. It's around the corner and just down Boones Ferry a little way from the studio where the kids take piano lessons. The Boy has an hour lesson after the Girl has her half hour, so when the Girl is done, we sneak out and try to find someplace more comfortable and/or interesting to hang out for an hour. Preferably someplace that has coffee. I've been looking for a nice coffee shop in the area for some time and not sure why I hadn't seen this one in my searches before. It seems to be a coffee and wine shop, my favorite thing. Or two of my favorite things. There is a whole wall of wine bottles just as you walk in and approach the counter. I don't know when they pour the wine, I haven't gotten that far with them. On Saturday afternoon, besides the young girl behind the counter, there's just one woman and an old man here. They're not together. The old man is sitting at the window working on a crossword puzzle. He's wearing a baseball cap and a plaid shirt. He has glasses and a beard. He looks up from the crossword every once in awhile and glances out the window casually. Almost a little too casually, as if he's trying to be discreet, so no one will know he's keeping an eye on something out there. I wonder if he's a private investigator, digging into some of the dirt that surely goes around a place like Lake Oswego where old money is mixing with the new money and stirring up currents most of us have no idea exist. I wonder if that's a camera in his bag. I wonder if he's monitoring who's coming and going from the Pub across the street, the surreptitious rendezvous that must go on in a town like this. But I don't know, I'm not really from around here. The woman is at the next table between us and the old PI. There's a copy of the New York Times in front of her, unopened, but she doesn't touch it, just stares at her phone and flicks at the screen with her finger. Gordon Lightfoot comes over the audio system. He's followed by Chicago, Jim Croce, and Hall & Oats. That's ok. Especially if you're a '70s through back. A young guy steps in and just wants his travel mug filled with drip coffees. He leaves. Then the young woman gets up to go, and an older couple steps in with their dog as she's stepping out. The dog is some kind of medium-sized poodle mix that tries to jump up on the Girl. No big deal, we have dogs, we know how that goes. There's a large plastic jar of treats by the door and the man gets it and puts a few down for the dog. The mocha I have is the great. It's coffee with the flavoring of chocolate rather than the other way around like they do in so many places, like they do in the more well-known place just down the street. I can't remember the last time that I had Illy coffee. I don't remember liking it as much as I like this, but if this is normal I'll seek it out from now on. The Girl has a chai tea and says it's really good without me even asking. She says she wishes that she had got a 12 oz instead of 8. I ask her if it's better than the ones she's had at the other shops around here. She moves her head up and down and says yes, indicating genuine enthusiasm. I tell her that my mocha is way better than the ones I've had around here. In fact it's the best that I can remember for a long time. I think we'll be back, I tell her. She laughs quietly, the kind of laugh that says dad's being weird again, never taking her eyes off her phone. But at least it's an interaction, I think. "There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them." That's Jim Croce's advice coming over the speakers. Take the time to find good coffee. read more

The "illy coffee" sign caught my eye as I was exiting local institution, Gubanc's Pub, across the street. So I decided to bypass my favorite Lake Oswego coffee houses to give them a try. The interior is nicer than you would expect from the shabby exterior. And illy coffee is among my favorites, so no complaints about the quality of the drink. But Chuck's Place and Gusto Bistro also serve illy in Lake O and Blue Moon Coffee, just a couple blocks away, serves Stumptown. The other part of the business is a wine shop, but I have experienced that side of the business. It is hard for Cafe Marzocca to compete with the atmosphere of the other places in town. I view this more as a coffee stop, rather than a coffee shop where I would stay and drink my coffee with friends. read more

Drove all the way out to the area to try their coffee but they didn't update their hours. They're actually closed at 12 on Sundays.

Just go here. Recommend the grilled chicken burrito and lots of hot sauce. This is a fantastic place and you get your $ worth. Since they moved, Marzocca is better than ever! read more

It's like the cheers for coffee - where everybody knows your name and the barista has drinks ready for regulars before they even reach the counter. Oh, and the espresso is multo bene! read more

The best coffee in all of lake o! The barista is also amazing and basically an espresso artist, seriously though he makes an art out of making coffee it's amazing to watch. It's also just an awesome cute neighborhood coffee joint where everyone knows you by name and there's even a shop dog that is the sweetest that greets you by the door when you come in! Will definitely be back! read more

Coffee itself is tasty which is most important for a coffee shop. Service is very friendly, but with only one barista it is also very slow. Allows dogs which is fun for us for dog lovers. The seating is very crowded. Parking is plentiful. The food offering is very minimal, think a couple Danish choices. read more

Ample parking out front of cafe. Small, but quaint, clean and friendly staff. I very much enjoyed my Cappuccino Viennese and look forward to trying other beverages. It's great to find these little tucked away places! Fantastic experience! read more

Just like Italy. I'm a big coffee lover and on trips to Italy I've always taken advantage of all the great cappuccino and espresso I can get my hands on. When I get home I always go through a mini depression as I stand in line at Starbucks or some other boring corporate coffee hell-scape. However cafe marzocca takes me right back. You can sit outside, enjoy the sun, listen to people chat, and grab a bottle of wine for dinner before you leave. read more

Yummmola! Stepped in as hubs was getting a haircut next door. Honestly never knew about this place - this is the ultimate hole in the wall location. Pretty clean and cozy, with just enough seats (and nearby outlets to charge your phone/laptop) whether you want to sit with a friend or go solo and people watch. You know the service is good when you hear the door open and the server already gets a drink ready for that customer and greets them by name. Love that small town vibe. I got a mocha at the suggestion of the barista, and boy was that a good choice. It wasn't overly sweet, and he made a point to tell me they use the "good cocoa". The fact that he said cocoa and not chocolate was promising and totally spot on. Don't get me wrong - I'm no coffee snob or pro, but I know a good cup o joe when I taste it. Cause it sure didn't taste like a sugary sbux cup, and I was pretty wired. I'm motivated to tag along for hubby's next haircut - can't wait to come back!! read more

It was after 1pm and I had not had my daily caffeine fix. I could feel the headache coming. Insert Cafe Marzocca. We were in the area and had finished lunch. Cafe Marzocca was nearby and off we went to cure the caffeine withdrawal. I stuck with my normal latte. It hit the spot and order was restored to the world. For whatever reason, Illy Coffee has never been my favorite and that didn't change. 3.5 stars. read more

My favorite place to get wine or coffee:) super friendly and efficient, knowledgeable peeps! Love this place!

Bad coffee bad setup weird Italian vibe. Don't recommend if you are an avid coffee lover w

My favorite stop before heading to the office! How do I put this... Even if I'm running late, my morning can't start without their coffee. You can't go wrong with Illy's coffee. I'm too spoiled to go to Starbucks now. I understand now why ppl say SB coffee taste burnt. Lol. Portland in general have great options when it comes to coffee ... In Lake O area, options are limited. Glad this little gem is close to my work. Service is always consistent and great. It's not just about coffee. It's the whole experience. Sometimes, Erik would provide wine recommendations while making my cappuccino. (And he remembers my drinks) As odd as it sounds, it's also a wine bar. Thought of sipping on a glass of wine after hard day at work can be just as inviting as taking that first sip of frothy latte to set the day. Who knew coffee and wine goes so well together? Lol What a smart guy. ;) Haven't made it to their HH but hope to soon! read more

Cafe Marzocca - Found my new fav! Latte Carmellata! This should be enjoyed while sitting... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

The coffee is just amazing! Unlike Starbucks, ALL the espressos are made with REAL espresso machine, (not the automated ones), and their Frappe, it's not filled with lots of ice, like Starbuck's Frappacino.... It's also very relaxing, which is what real coffee experience should be like. Free wi-fi, newspaper, etc, feels just like my customized local coffee shop..... read more

Quaint little place with a good happy hour menu and a great wine selection. Service was friendly and helpful. Seemed to know a good bit about the offered wines, such that the suggestions made fit me well. Will return. read more

Great coffee (Illy), great service, and great contraptions for making coffee and coffee related things. The barista that brewed my espresso shot was in the navy and served in Italy and he knows his coffee. I don't remember his name but he had tattoos and was super friendly. The also have the best natural syrups for making flavored drinks and hot chocolate. In addition they use the cool nitrous gadget to make fresh whipped cream. All around delicious. The seating area is nice though small. The only downside is that there is no MENU! I will surely return for more coffee here. read more
