Absolutely fantastic. Came in from out of town and wanted a true Portland coffeehouse experience. Unfortunately, the ones we found, and walked into were nothing special at all. We walked up and down Pearl district, Alphabet District, and a few other areas just to find a yummy café. One of them was completely dirty, I was not going to have my coffee there at all. Another one, the steamer was broken and they were only serving iced drinks, the third one noted pastries and food on Yelp, yet there was only two items in the case, (and we came in the morning). All that to say, we were getting some coffee Hangry on and looked again at Yelp and found this gem. My Cardamom Rose mocha was full of flavor, delicious and hot, served right away, even though they were very busy. We ordered some goodies as well and they were delicious. Everyone in there was kind and went out of their way to show support to their patrons. Who I imagine was the owner, went up to every table and everyone in line to greet them and smile at them. This is what an elevated Portland café should be about! Not about how grungy it is and all the different flavors of mushrooms that they serve with a bad attitude. Trust me, you can find that on every corner! When we are back in town, we will definitely go out of our way to visit this amazing spot! read more

Cute cafe but I struggle with Umbria. The coffee tastes generic corporate standard stuff no matter which I try and the pastries and food options also look straight from an airport. Shame, I visited them way back in the day in Seattle and loved their coffee shops. read more

The matcha at this place is so good! The serve is quick and the seating options next to the large windows are perfect for an excuse to zone out. Ideal location next to the art museum as well! read more

Wonderful service at this coffee shop. The barista helped us and went through a little of the menu with us. Relatively traditional brew options, which I love instead of all the add-ins/customized drinks that are everywhere. Ordered 2 cortados with oat milk. The espresso has very good flavor and the oat milk made it rich. Would be a good place to work or study. read more

Cute coffee shop with yummy food and a great atmosphere! I love how open this cafe is. There is plenty of seating, but each table is spaced decently far from the others, so it doesn't get loud even when the place is rather crowded. The baristas were all super nice, and they recommended food/drinks to me. read more

WHEN: Fri @1:30pm Wanted somewhere to work for a bit and this spot has all the basic necessities: seatings, outlets, beverages, pastries, and some savory foods. No wifi but they open late everyday (6pm). They even serve affogato! But all I had was: COLD BREW - $5.25 Served in a tall glass and comes with a cute little chocolate piece! I'm no coffee person, I just needed to buy something since I was hanging out here. It's not a fancy or well decorated cafe, but it was a convenient spot that has seating available but indoors and outdoors. Not too shabby! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops. Good coffee friendly service. The logo is nice shows a touch of Italy. I remember speaking with Rafael many years back. This is his creation as I remember. Great place in the Pearl. Nice windows to watch the rain. Each coffee comes with a piece of chocolate. Nice treats in the case and some lunch items. Today a jewelry stand someone was selling their wares. I had an americano. Nice a bit nutty flavor, crisp and clean. I was given a number and they bring your order to your table. Nice touch. Nice attention to detail, presentation of your order. Good mix of clients working on their laptops or meeting with friends. A couple of doors so you will see people come from different sides which adds to the flow and decor. I brought my laptop...creating the review here this evening. Oh no a downpour outside and I parked a couple of blocks away. I will stay a bit longer and wait for a break in the rain. read more

Stop by during a coffee crawl in Portland! Inside it's a really nice little spot to enjoy coffee, chat with friends or do work! I love how big and open the coffee bar was so you watch them make coffee! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! I got the honey oat latte and it was delicious! If you like coffee and for it to be sweet definitely try it! I really enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet and overwhelming. read more

Caffe Umbria is the perfect spot to grab coffee and a bite when you're on the go. The food is good, and fresh and their coffee might hands down be my favorite in the Portland Area. I've always received good service when I've came in, and the location is very convenient. As someone who likes to people watch, I always opt to cozy up and sit outside. This is a cute little spot to check out if you're in the area! read more

Lovely coffee shop tucked inside Zupans grocery store. The Americano is my favorite drink here, and when I take the time, sitting outside with hot coffee in a classic porcelain cup feels exactly right. Service is always friendly and on point. Plus, it's only steps away from Zupans inspired floral arrangements and potted gardens. Highly recommend! read more

Corner coffee shop in downtown. They have vegetarian breakfast sandwiches and ones available with meat! Lots of bakery items and standard drink menus! Very busy inside, very clean and almost every table was taken! I didn't wait long for my sandwich to be warmed up. The barista was nice and had et me know I could sit and they will bring my Togo order to me. Overall, great place for meetings or quick coffee and bite! read more

I come here once in a while spending two to three hours working, depending on who the barista is, sometimes you can bump into someone who's rude and unfriendly. Sometimes, there are nice and friendly baristas. But the coffee and pastries here just mid. Only good thing is they are close to where I live and have work friendly tables and hours are okay too. read more

Caffe Umbria is a local staple, especially in NW. Offering consistently great coffee, espresso (this should be your reason for coming in), and a few ideal alcoholic drinks, you're bound to enjoy the experience here. Though I often spend time here during the morning or before evening festivities with a quick cortado, I had not previously come here for more than 20-30 minutes. Recently, the fantastic team informed me that between 11 am and close, Umbria offers one of the best deals for espresso martinis in the Pearl. They were right - espresso martini can be yours for $10-$12! A friend and I enjoyed these stunning drinks for a reasonable amount of time paired with their minimal charcuterie board, and anyone can enjoy a pre-party here. I'd recommend bringing a good book for a cozy afternoon on the patio and coming here anytime in the evening for a decent pick-me-up. I look forward to seeing what more Umbria does after their renovations. The new Friday music nights have been an ideal addition to the area. read more

Caffe Umbria - Beautiful day for a cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The best coffee in Portland, hands down! The intoxicating scent hits you the moment you enter the coffee shop and immediately warms all of my senses. All of their drinks are stellar; the cappuccino has the perfect amount of foam; the mocha is well balanced with hints of chocolate that don't overwhelm; and my regular, the Americano is rich and smooth. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here all of the time! While you can't sit inside during these Covid days, there are several sets of tables and chairs outside to park yourself while you enjoy your tasty beverage over conversation and great people watching. We stopped in the other day opting for coffee and a pastry rather than a proper lunch. Sounds reasonable, right? My Americano and pecan bun were the perfect combo! And sitting outside with a friend the most welcomed sense of normalcy in these isolating times. Baristas are friendly, always serving with a smile that you can see even though they are wearing masks. Highly recommend! read more

I think it's above my appreciation for coffee. Much fancier than I need for my coffee. Line was long also.

Stopped by for a quick coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The barista was friendly and knowledgeable and my cortado was perfect. Coffees also come with a small chocolate. 5 out of 5 stars! read more

The coffee was strong and flavorful for the Honey Oat Latte. Relaxed environment and friendly staff. I highly recommend this coffee spot!

Why did it take the bean so long to do its homework? Because it was procaffeinating. And Procaffeniate you should when the Coffee is this good ! Caffè Umbria`s roasting go back to the 1940's, when Ornello Bizzarri built his roastery in Perugia, Italy and I know this tid-bit only because I genuinely love their coffee and feel that this place gives an authentic Italian experience with their espresso based drinks . Located in the heart of the Pearl District, this is an ideal spot to spend some time people watching , just sitting by a book or hanging out with a friend or two. The café is spacious ,well-lit and has lots of seating both indoor and outdoors. I am a fan of the Gusto Crema and Bizzarri blend , as they make for really good drip as well espresso drinks(Cappuccino ,macchiato, caffè latte) . They also have a lot of pastries ,sandwiches ,pasta ,soups and other baked goods , along with wine and beer . Service is friendly and fast . read more

Located in Downtown Portland, I believe in the Pearl District right on a corner street. Cute little spot for a coffee, to study, or meet up with friends. I walked by on a Sunday morning and grabbed a caramel macchiato. They had food options both dining and take out. Huge windows to people watch and some outdoor seating areas. Service was quick, looked like there were plenty of spots to for plugs and amongst all of the coffee places in Portland, more local that you could just pick something up without waiting a while. read more

I went to Caffe Umbria to kill some time, and only chose it based off the proximity to another store. I'd rate this place a 3.5, rather than 4 stars. I think our order came out pretty quickly. We got an iced tea, matcha latte, and an almond croissant. The iced tea was mostly a cup of ice. I think it would have been fine on a hot day since the ice would melt, but on a rainy day, not so much. This may also be a Portland thing, but it seems like most if not all matcha lattes here are pre-sweetened. I think pre-sweetened matcha is an abomination, but I'm not letting that affect my rating because it seems like the norm here. It wasn't bad, but my first sip was one of those moments where you expect to have something not sweet, and your taste buds get hit with sweetness. I would have asked to see if they had an unsweetened version, but didn't think to ask. The almond croissant was the stand out here, and I really enjoyed it. There was nothing really wrong about the place, and I'd be willing to go back, I'd just choose different drinks. read more

Umbria has some of the best brewed coffee in town! Always a joy to stop in for a quick coffee or place to work. Ambiance is very relaxed!

This place had no chill. Both baristas were rude and acted like they had a stick up their bootyholes. Coffee was mediocore, but honestly, it probably didn't taste good because of the bad vibes my friend and I dealt with from the moment we walked in. read more

Cute modern place with large windows, friendly staff and few choices of sandwiches, pastries, cookies and if course coffee. Modern European look. Quiche was particularly good, side salad was all right. Coffee was good, and Nutella cookie was the best. Trendy customers! read more

Horrible service. Only one person at the counter to take orders and he's busy with a wholesale customer buying a 5lb bag of beans. He finishes with that customer to help me but can't focus long enough to take my order but decides instead to help another clerk. So he later has forgotten what I wanted and is confused even counting out change. One customer at a time, please... a quick and easy lesson for anyone in retail. Oh, and please have someone to bus the tables now and then so I don't have to clean one off before taking a seat. :-) But this overall shop is convenient and pleasant with a good "vibe". Their lighter roast coffee is pretty tasty, the food fresh, and there's lots of space for meeting friends or relaxing on your own. The few times I've been here, the only issue has been the service. Fix that, and this place easily gets another star or two. read more
