The Iced Hazelnut Latte was as good as I remembered when I first tried it at the downtown location a few years ago. It had a true hazelnut flavor, which other places don't do as well because Case Study makes their own syrups. Their lattes have a nice balance of the espresso, house made syrups, and milk. I also liked the Iced Vanilla Latte, Iced Mocha, and Cold Brew. The service was 4 stars as the baristas quickly prepared the 5 star coffee. The charming space is in an old house that makes it feel cozy and homey. I like stopping by after dining out in the area. read more

Outstanding cappuccino here at Case Study, fresh coffee beans makes for a awesome cup. They make all syrups in house and barista was accommodating and knowledgeable, I asked her about grind size, grams and shot times, she answered all my questions, kindly. I can't wait to return and lucky to live within walking distance. Thank you, Case Study ! read more

Case Study is warm and welcoming with a lot of wooden furnishing and green plants. My parents had the 12 ounce latte with almond milk and I had the 12 ounce iced coffee with honey lavender. Both lavender and coffee can be stronger. read more

With some friends, my wife and I were on a coffee tasting Northwest and Pearl District tour with Thirdwave - specializing in coffee tours around Portland. The first stop - Case Study. As many times as I've walked by I didn't realize how fantastic the coffee would be. The tasting experience and the vibe inside and outside was also amazing in an old Victorian style home converted to a coffee shop. I definitely will go back. Burnside roast was bitter, not too sweet, not so much acid and a delightful taste. Liked it. The blend made with hazelnuts was unbelievably delicious with the taste of a lot of hazelnuts. Who knew that this nutty coffee would surprise my pallet. Liked it. Latte - not a big fan because I'm not into extra sugar, but if you are, you'll you'll love it! And it certainly did not taste too too too sweet! Direct trade and barista's have a lot of roasting and brewing knowledge so pick their brain's. read more

We tried this aesthetic coffee shop on a weekend afternoon. The place is very well thought of and designed to be aesthetically beautiful. Tried the classic Cappuccino's and really loved them. This place is perfect for studying or getting some work done. The service is really nice and the ambiance is really cozy. read more

Might be my new favorite neighborhood coffee shop! Great place to work, super cute inside, and friendly staff. The person working was very patient in answering my questions and even offered me a little taster of the flavor I was considering. I went with the orange blossom latte with oat milk and it was just what I wanted! Will be back. read more

Honestly ?? Terrible matcha which is very sad it was very powdery. The girls also can't tell what the difference between whole milk and oat milk. They are sassy if you try to ask. Such a cute place. Coffee not as good. read more

I ordered a salted caramel soy latte, bourbon caramel latte & pumpkin chai bread. Lattes 6.5/10. The milk to coffee ratio was a little high. The bread 8/10. The atmosphere of this place is very cute and definitely a study/work environment. They have a decent amount of seating inside and a couple seats on the porch in the back and on the ground when you come in. read more

Delicious coffee in a funky relaxed setting. I just ordered the coffee of the day and it was mellow with nice flavors and no bitter acidity. I will revisit and try some of their specialty coffees. The Carmel macchiato bourbon blend!! read more

Super friendly people and good coffee, lots of space to work BUT they play the most disruptive music making it hard to concentrate. I had to leave. read more

Large Iced Masala Latte had a strong flavor, with the chai spices really coming through, but wasn't too sweet and still balanced with the coffee and milk. Perfect drink for Fall! Three sizes available, with all of them containing 2 shots of espresso. read more

I will be a Case Study Coffee fanatic for as long as I exist. Yelp doesn't allow me to post all the photos that I want too because there are too many. I've gone about once a week for the last three years. I buy the deviation blend and use it every day at home. It's perfectly balanced for espresso. I am a HUGE fan of their mocha and I always get extra chocolate. I often aggressively crave their iced jasmine matcha and have several times made a second stop in the middle of the work day. My FAVORITE drink they ever had was the Rose Cardamom latte February 2024. I wish that drink were permanent and available forever. I typically make a cardamom latte every day at home. Their masala latte is the fall is also amazing. And I love the chili mocha in the winter. The staff is always SO NICE and I have had many amazing conversations with them. The inside has lots of cool things to shop or look at while waiting. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The blue tables and are so pretty. Don't skip on the ocean roll pastry. I wish they had chocolate croissants. In high school I prayed to work nearby a Case Study and that prayer has been answered. Easily best coffee in the world. read more

Truly Excellent coffee. Great environment in a beautiful neighborhood Baristas could always be nicer... (you're dealing with non-caffeinated customers--We shouldn't be the ones trying to avoid your glares).. read more

This is one of the highest quality coffee shops in town. If you have never tried Case Study, you should. You don't know the velvety stunningness you are missing out on. My fave is the salted caramel latte. Silky and rich made with a strong but smooth espresso. read more

First time customer. Got a plain brewed coffee. Sour, tastes like a bad variant of Folgers. Not sure if a one off... but there are many options nearby. Won't be returning. read more

I'm a tea drinker. Most coffee shops have no idea how to make a cup of tea. At other coffee shops, I'm handed a pot of tepid water, a tea cup, and a tea bag. This results in an inferior cup of tea. When I ordered tea at Case Study, they poured hot water into the pot, which warmed the pot. Then, they poured the water out, added a tea bag and refilled the pot with hot water! Wow! Thank you Case Study! read more

Plus: atmosphere is nice, lots of natural light, decent amount of seating, chairs are super comfortable even for a fat babe (super-fats beware that chairs have full sides and may not be accessible for all), and the music doesn't carry over too much into the seating areas, which is nice for conversation and workflow. My dry cappuccino was actually dry, which is surprisingly difficult for many places using non-dairy milk. Minus: despite being a dry cap, flavor-wise it was still just average. Both baristas seemed a bit grumpy, and music in the entryway (where ordering/pickup happens) is WAY too loud--you can barely hear the baristas to order, let alone hear when they call that your order is up. Lastly, while these pendant lights are super neat, I've watched no less than three different people get knocked in the head/face by them while trying to sit down or stand up from their seat (none of whom were exceedingly tall)... maybe consider raising them up by 12" or so to minimize the head injuries? read more

Case Study Coffee - Main seating area with the dangerous head-bonking light fixtures. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The atmosphere is lovely here. It's an old house but it is quite cozy and cute. I love how the decorated and all the light fixtures are adorable. The price is good as well. I would say I was slightly dissatisfied with my chai. Nothing of the fault of the people working it was a spicy chai and I prefer sweet. read more

After a year, I returned to Case Study after Starbucks and my other favorite coffee shop closed. There were no weird vibes. The service was much better. Not sure what changed but I will come back again. read more

This is a cute coffee shop to stop into if you're shopping or walking around NW 23rd. It's in an old house and it seems like there's no air conditioning so it can feel hot and stale inside on a hot summer day. They also have a few bar type seats outside in the back. The employees aren't particularly friendly, but they'll make you a great cup of coffee! read more

Truly one of the most unenjoyable cups of coffee ever put to my lips. The bourbon caramel syrup in the cold brew instantly caused the fat of the butter in the caramel to curdle and leave a heinous, undrinkable mouth feel. I can still feel the layer of fat coating my tongue 20 minutes later. I'm sure the syrup is maybe fine in a hot drink, but with the amount of care into the menu, you'd think they'd warn you about this happening in their cold beverages. You can see the curdled butter in the picture clearly. read more

Good coffee served up inside a gorgeous old Victorian house on NW 23rd! Such a beautiful space to work or read in, but I will say that the prices are a bit high and the customer service has left something to be desired in my experience. Overall a solid spot though. read more

Lovely to have a coffee shop in this quirky former house. The coffee is delicious and during nice weather, the outdoor seating is awesome! Espresso drinks are right h and delicious and the cookies are yummy. 5 stars for all that. The indoor seating is a bit awkward and can feel a little crowded at times. read more

The dream of the nineties coffeehouse is alive on NW 23rd! I loved stopping in here today and being reminded of my favorite cozy coffeehouses when I was in college. The golden milk was the best I've tasted! read more

It's yet another hipster coffee shop. And by "hipster" I mean Californian. - trendily dressed staff - electro-downtempo hiphop - shipped-in generic pastries - minimalist menu with unseen choices/prices Not my type of place as I'm more of a Coffee Time or Dragonfly guy, places with character, but it gets the job done for most people I guess. Hipster places are just a bit homogenized as this one doesn't offer anything unique from Sterling or Barista, both within a short walk. Oh well. The house is nice tho. I'd like to rate it four to offset that schmuck who rated it one for not servicing them two minutes to close but honestly it is about the average three. read more

Store closes at 4 on Sundays. Arrived at 358 for a cup of coffee and to buy beans as a gift from Portland. Ended up being policed by the upstairs nail salon beautician because I mistook the side door for the coffee shop entrance and then was told the coffee shop was closed by Case Study staff despite them having seen me before 4pm. No apology, no consideration. Instead, I was treated like a criminal and intruder. Heard great things about this Portland coffee shop, but they lost my business. Horrific customer experience. Wonder if they would have shooed me off had I been fair skinned. Sterling Coffee was around the corner and still open. I recommend Sterling ! Case Study was beyond disappointing. Treat prospective clientele with grace if you want to keep your shop open. Wont be coming back and wont be buying beans from Case Study. read more
