    I didn't grab her name but the lady that runs the store is extremely knowledgeable in coffee! She…read morewas super helpful. It got very busy and she did a great job at answering everyone's questions with thoughtfulness, despite the rush and chaos she must have felt. The coffee is also superb. If you are looking for straight up good coffee with no frills, this is the place to go to.

    I saw that there was a coffee roaster called Capitol Press Coffee near where I was staying in my…read morehotel. Looking at their website, there were a couple of coffee beans that I wanted to try. So I navigated there and was a bit confused by the store location. The coffee shop is situated in a industrial business park, though I quickly figured out that they had storefronts too. I found the spot and walked in. I was greeted by Carey, who introduced herself as the owner of Roasted By Mom Coffee. That's when I learned that this space had 3 independent coffee roasters who share the same equipment and store to sell to customers. And the day I went, Carey was there to serve her coffee beans. So I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and a black coffee. She didn't have any drip coffee readily available, but she went out of her way to get fresh beans she allowed me to choose to grind and brew a fresh cup for me. Wonderful customer service! I didn't have to wait long for my drinks to be finished. P2 said she enjoyed hers and I thought mine wasn't too bad. The beans I chose, Mom Goes Nutty, has hints of peanut butter, which I could taste in my cup. It was a different experience for sure. Overall, I thought I had a 5-star experience, though the coffee I tried wasn't what I would normally drink.

    In "Coffee City" Courier carved out its own Portlandia coffee niche!…read more Really delicious "bitchin-tasty" Canelli and macchiato. Canelli is moist and yummy inside and super crisp on the outside winner winner winner. The Mexico, roasted coffee beans made a very deep robust, medium rich, slightly bitter, but well balanced, sweetness, and acidity macchiato. I noticed they have different coffees, depending on the season from around the world. Cozy coffee bar, small café, and rad-cool-dope hipster vibe. Winner winner winner. Love the vibe, the music on record playing vinyl "old school" LP 45 - way cool! And the people serving it up "bitchin" were friendly and knowledgeable. Winner winner winner. Also have some Japanese finger foods and smoked salmon that need to be investigated on the next stop. I like good coffee often and a sweet treat occasionally, and the coffee, desserts and peeps were all winner winner winner for me - coffee, Portlandia style!

    Courier has became a favorite coffee shop over the years. It's tiny and they're always busy. I love…read morethe Japanese food menu - kakigori shaved ice for the summers and they're always doing norimaki, inari and Onigiri. It's the perfect snack to go along with some of their great tea or coffee. I don't love coffee black normally, but I like theirs on its own. Seating is limited but if you can snag a seat inside, you can hear their music - they have a record player and my mom loved the jpop old album from the 70s/80s that they had on today. Staff is awesome and friendly. I love this spot and wish they had longer hours in the afternoon for shaved ice.

    When I think of the word 'Sterling' I think of something that dazzles. It's outstanding by nature…read more In this case, the experience truly lives up to the name. The shop is situated in an iconic part of NW 21st; it exudes sophisticated and timeless charm. Stepping inside, you see the historical bones of the building laced with modern touches of hip decor and thoughtful design. It's a bit retro and a bit edgy all while being chic, so it's very well aligned with Portland itself. Sit on a live edge bench! Enjoy a marshmallow stick. Stare at the luxurious wallpaper. But don't let these things deter you from the epic coffee experience that awaits you. Subtly smooth, adequately bold and flavors aplenty... all served with a smile. The staff is incredibly friendly. My drink was even delivered my table by the barista! The bathroom is clean and parking is available on the street. They have all the classics and then some. There were aromas of homemade chai permeating the space as I sipped my coffee. This is an experience that can't be boiled down to 'just coffee.' It's not just another errand when you're in NW either. It's the kind of place where a random stranger next to you says aloud that 'this is the best coffee in Portland' as you walk by. And they mean it. One of my favorite coffee experiences of the year so far. It's memorable on many levels, and the atmosphere aligns so well with the vibrancy of our city. You owe it to yourself, and to maintaining the true spirit of Portland, to stop in, stay and sip a while. There's no better way to identify with Sterling than through firsthand experience. See you there soon.

    Great coffee and friendly service . Loved their decoration…read moreinside will be back ! Hope they add more food options
