Portland has no shortage of coffee shops, but Drip Drop is the one I keep coming back to. Sure, the coffee is excellent and the food is always on point, but what makes this place special is the experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character. The plants, the design, and the variety of seating create little pockets of coziness throughout the shop. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. My favorite part? The people. After only one visit, I came back and the barista remembered my drink and how I like it ordered. That may seem like a small thing, but it made a big impression. It showed a level of attentiveness and care that you don't find everywhere. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You get the sense that they care about both the quality of what they're serving and the people they're serving it to. Great coffee. Great food. Great people. Drip Drop has earned its spot as my favorite coffee shop in Portland. read more

Sometimes it's hard to find a good coffee shop in the downtown area of any city.. usually you'll just have your big chains so I was happy to find Drip Drop Coffee. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a cold and rainy day in Portland so I was looking for a nice hot & tasty latte. I asked the guy at the counter which one was his favorite and trusted his judgement. I ordered the honey cinnamon latte and it was perfect! Lots of varied seating inside from tables with chairs to big overstuffed comfy chairs. read more

Drip Drop Coffee - Vanilla latte and The Dude - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We walked into a warm welcome with great music and relaxed vibe. The baristas were welcoming, funny, and helpful. I'm not a picky eater, but I typically find about half of a menu compelling and the other half bench-warming in my mind. At Drip Drop, all of the food items were asking for my attention. For my first visit, I decided on The Dude as did my lobster. I silently reassured the other menu items I'd return and try them too (I see you, Cuban Pete). I haven't stopped thinking about The Dude waffle sandwich since. My cardamom latte was delicious and beautiful! In some places they don't take the time for latte art in a to-go cup, but they did at Drip Drop. Is it important? Not really. Is it one of those special touches that elevates the experience? Yes, and it was appreciated! The music was one of my favorite refreshing aspects. I loved hearing classic R&B faves with a random old skool country song thrown in-- a delightful soundscape like no other coffeehouse. Finally, as a people nerd and observer of all things big and small, I loved the ease and humor between the baristas. It feels like a welcoming and supportive place to work and that kind of employee experience usually translates into exceptional products and service. Bingpot! I can't wait to return! read more

I recently found out about Drip Drop so I had to pay a visit. I found it to be a cute space with delicious coffee and friendly employees! It is a decent sized space with fun decor and a few sitting areas. They have a variety of pastries and snacks to choose from, plus waffle breakfast sandwiches. There is also a nice variety of coffee/not coffee drinks. I went with the zucchini muffin and the Cloud 9 to 5 latte, a coconut/vanilla combination that was so good with the cold foam and caramel drizzle. I thought all of the food looked good and it was hard to choose what to eat. That waffle sandwich is calling my name! It is so important to support local businesses and I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

This was such a nice spot to drop in for coffee (pun intended!) I went with my mom while she was in town, and we were delighted to be able to enjoy a nice view of the park in such and cute spot. The coffee was great-- I got a seasonal pumpkin latte with almond milk which was very sweet (I love sweet coffee, but I know it isn't for all). My mom got a drip coffee which she said tasted good and high quality. The place itself is super cute-- great seating areas, excellent lighting, and tons of local art of the walls (available for purchase if something strikes your attention). Bathrooms were very clean. The staff were so warm and friendly, this felt like such a wonderful, cozy spot. Add to that the fact that the prices are reasonable and the seasonal menu is cool and creative-- this gets a recommend from me! read more

7/23/2025-First Visit, Drip Drop Coffee (NOT Drip Coffee Bar!): Still open and worth a visit! This is Drip Drop Coffee and YES, they are still open for business! Don't confuse it with Drip Coffee Bar on 1st SW Ave, which is temporarily closed. Be sure to enter the name correctly in your GPS or Google search so you don't end up at the wrong spot. What made my visit great: The crew here is amazing. Big shoutout to Makiah and Marcus for being incredibly welcoming and fun. Their good energy made my afternoon. Tip them well! Custom Drink Order (lesson learned): I got a 16oz Iced Latte with: -Oat milk ($1) -Extra 2 espresso shot ($2) -Hazelnut syrup ($1) Total: $9.75. If you're customizing your drink like I did, just know it adds up. It's more cost-effective to order directly off the drink menu. Food: The Dude Waffle - $12: I asked for it extra crunchy and it delivered. The sugar baked into the waffle gave it a nice touch. Standard sausage and scrambled eggs on the side. I personally prefer eggs with yolk, but Marcus explained they don't have an exhaust system, so scrambled works best for their setup and helps keep service fast. Atmosphere: -Great natural lighting throughout the shop. -Chill vibe with flexible seating options, ideal to stay and hang for a bit. -Located at street level corner of the newly colorful painted parking structure next to and on top of the café. -Street metered parking is also available. Tips: -Visit on Sundays before 1 PM for free street parking if you're not in the area. -Take your drink to-go and enjoy it across the street at Terry Schrunk Park on a nice day. -I plan to come back, order straight from the menu next time, and give their gelato a shot. -Fingers crossed one day they add brown sugar syrup, my favorite with quad expresso and oat milk! Restroom: -One-stall, gender-neutral restroom. -No toilet seat cover. -You need to ask for the key. read more

Food ***** Ambiance ***** Cleanliness ***** Service ***** It is nice to see a good local coffee shop in this space again. I stopped in while I was downtown and was greated as I came in, they had a nice selection of coffee and lattes including seasonal choices. The place was busy, had nice tables and decor that was warm. A bit noisy from the chatty folks at the tables but it was not a place to chill and study, definitely folks working downtown looking for a good place to hang out for a bit. The coffee was really good, I could taste the espresso and not be slammed with sweetness and too much milk in my mocha. The sevice all around was great, and the place was sparkling clean too. I definitely will swing in when I am in the area if I need to coffee or not . read more

Such a great coffee shop. Really cool vibes and cool people. We got a hot and iced noggin' da boots and a matcha. All three were amazing drinks. I hope we have a chance to swing by again before we head out of town. Go out of your way to pay drop drop a visit. I wish they had stickers. read more

Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues -- Muddy Waters I didn't come here on my big night. I came here a bit sluggish on the morning of a conference. This was recommended by a coworker at same conference. She was right about the waffle breakfast sandwich! I had "The Dude". Very good, better than the Bruxie sandwiches down in Southern California that started the waffle sandwich trend. The orange juice was nice too, they had Mexican Coke in a bottle which I had for my caffeine fix. Not sluggish after this meal. Workers were friendly, plenty of seats to eat here instead of at hotel. Highly recommended!! read more

I enjoyed my brief experience at the Drip Drop Coffee shop. I try to visit black owned establishments whenever I travel and this one was down by my hotel in Downtown Portland. The rich aromas of coffee great you at the door and the fun, eclectic style of the space were both welcoming and entertaining. I ordered a large warm latter with oat milk and lavender syrup, which was prepared exceptionally well. The service was quick and it felt personal. I will be returning for another cup, or 20! read more

Yeah, this place is legit. I work across the street, and this will be my go-to coffee spot. Been here twice already and the coffee is excellent - very reminiscent to what I've had in Italy or France. Staff is so friendly and helpful, not at all pretentious. Great vibes, decor and local art on the walls. There's plenty of coffee shops downtown, but these guys are doing it right.

Drip Drop Coffee I understand is a fairly new cafe in the heart of downtown Portland. I ordered my usual cafe mocha and their signature The Dude waffle sandwich. That sando was quite tasty. The interior decor is quite modern and one wall is filled with original artwork. There are plenty of seats and tables. It's quite spacious. The staff was very friendly. One barista soon noticed the photos I posted on Yelp and thanked me. read more

I am so happy that we came to Drip Drop one morning during our visit to Portland. Out of all the coffee spots in the area, this place HIT! The minute I walked in, I was transported to a coffee and waffle sandwich oasis. I felt so calm and ready to drown myself in some brew. I was greeted with warm smiles and conversation with all the workers, I swear I could have stayed there with them all day long. I ordered just two drip coffees and a Dude waffle sandwich. AMAZING! My son loved his sandwich!! And he's got a good palate! The shop itself is adorned with earthy tones, glorious plants, comfy and ample seating, and the funniest mugs at the entrance. I have to say, this was my favorite coffee place in Portland - I look forward to visiting, conversing with the crew, and enjoying their coffee in the future! Thanks for warming my heart. read more

What you expect from a solid coffee place in Portland is def found here. Creative lattes, great service, chill atmosphere.

Came in through the exit and was welcomed with a "thank you for coming in through the exit" with a sassy attitude. That was so rude i was gonna buy something but had to walk out. A much better way to address the wrong door being used is " Thank you for coming in next time pls use the front door". read more
