Good coffee is actually quite good, so no false advertising from their name! It's in a good location, and the store is modern and clean. Not tons of seating but there's enough. The staff has always been very kind and friendly. The coffee is tasty -- bold and just strong enough. And hot. The bathroom was a little meh but still ok. I'll come back here every time I'm in Portland. read more

I wanted to explore the neighborhood, but first I needed a place to get some work done. I came across this café and was really glad I did. One thing I appreciated was that they open early. I arrived before 8am so it was still nice and quiet, which made it easy to settle in and be productive. By the time I left about an hour later, it had started to fill up. The staff was friendly, and I ordered a latte and a chocolate croissant. The latte was great, and the croissant was absolutely delicious. The café is spacious, with plenty of seating, and it turned out to be a great place to work for a couple of hours. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

My friend and I stopped by this cute little coffee shop right when they opened on Sunday. There was no line and the workers were super friendly. I ordered the horchata latte which had oat milk and was so yummy! Not very sweet at all which I liked. It paired perfectly well with my lemon poppyseed scone. read more

Loved the coffee here! Tried a flat white w/ oat milk. Also ordered the pear cardamom latte and an iced horchata latte for my family. Both sips were great. Great vibes from the barista team. Not a lot of seating, but liked the indoor-outdoor element of the store. read more

As promised, I came back to give them a second try. This experience was great. The service was friendly, the place packed and the espresso delicious. My wife and I got their "Maple Orange" latte, a mocha and I got a single shot of one of their blends to try. We Also had a delicious croissant. The maple orange and the single shot were definitely the highlights. I think the shot was one of the best pulled ones I've had. I noticed that they have a little work area. Still, the open air atmosphere really makes the experience wonderful. read more

This coffee shop is very pretty and aesthetic with plants and cute merch. The baristas were all super sweet! The matcha coconut passion fruit latte was a unique flavor so I tried it. Like some other reviews, I felt the matcha flavor was subtle or weak. The coconut and passion fruit were also light or hardly there. The horchata latte had a nice coffee bean flavor but also did not taste much like horchata to me. The rose croissant was pretty and the croissant was soft and fluffy. The frosting over it was crumbly, and tasted lightly of hints of rose and maybe cardamom. Other pastries that were available but I didn't try included vegan cookie, almond croissant, blueberry muffin, blueberry scone. read more

We stopped by Good Coffee while waiting to be seated at Screen Door across the street. This was perfect because we didn't have our coffee yet! The drinks don't only look good, they taste great too. I ordered a hot matcha which had a slight mint flavor. I can't remember what my husband got, but both drinks were tasty! It was a great start to our day. I love the vibes inside and out. The high ceilings, open concept and indoor/outdoor seating remind me so much of San Diego. I love it here! read more

Good Coffee was recommended to me by a colleague, and it did NOT disappoint. The place is clean, and staff friendly and super helpful as I arrived right when they opened. I asked for a recommendation, and was treated to the Horchata Latte, one of the best lattes I have ever had. I opted for honey as the sweetener. It was sprinkled with cinnamon, which provided an aromatic experience before I even took my first sip. The flavor profile was unlike anything Ive had before, and absolutely delicious. Next time I am back in town, I will absolutely be back for more. The baked goods looked amazing, though I didn't partake. read more

Good coffee is an inviting and modern coffee shop with a open indoor outdoor concept. I was immediately intrigued by their seasonal offerings. I got the iced matcha coconut and passion fruit latte. The matcha was smooth and not too sweet tasting, which I enjoyed. The passion fruit flavor came through nicely, however, I didn't get much coconut flavor. The coconut flavor was likely overpowered by the taste of dairy milk. I would definitely recommend getting an alternative milk with the matcha. read more

Guys this place is AWESOME. The hazel nut Carmel coffee was literally the best coffee I've had in a long time. You can tell they make their own stuff in house. 10/10. Baristas are nice too! Loved it read more

Easy to walk to in cold 35 degree weather. Ambiance: clean, rustic and lots of windows bring sunlight in. Seasonal coffee Salted caramel with almond milk and Brown butter Apple latte with nonfat milk. Both had strong coffee taste. Nice and not sweet. I preferred the Brown butter apple latte for taste. Service is quick and fast but no smiles here. Coffee: 4/5 stars Service: 3.5/5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 stars read more

Some staff members ought to learn manners. Be less physically intimidating. Verbal abuse and threatening behavior is not synonymous with courtesy. Learn manners.​ Intimidating personnel. With a perceived sense of decision-making authority. Flexing muscles and being Intimidating has no excuses. Never felt that threatened in a coffee shop. The only time I felt that unsafe, when I was approached by armed military personnel in one European country. ​Same level of intimidation. Presumed but not real authority. That's the problem with modern society. People who have no authority whatsoever, assume that they have it. End up embarrassing themselves, with overblown ego. The big guy is a bully. read more

Great coffee shop with the best ambiance! The indoor-outdoor layout is so perfect. It is wide open and spacious. The oat milk latte is a 4/5. Coconut matcha is a 4/5 as well. It is clean. The service is pretty quick and friendly. Chill, don't expect latte art. read more

Almond croissant was divine! The horchata latte was delicious - so smooth and creamy but didn't get much "horchata" taste from it tbh. I was here with a large group and there's plenty of seating, and I loved the open air concept where you can be seated inside but still have some fresh air flowing through an open wall. Service was really nice! read more

I've always been intrigued by the choice of names for this shop... is it a tinge of arrogance, or perhaps humility? Good isn't great, but good is better than average. Either way, they probably sells themselves short. Always one of my favorite places to get a short Americano. They always have their standard espresso choice and a rotating seasonal one. I usually opt for the featured choice. Parking can be challenging in the area, but it's always worth it. The large garage door opens up and makes for a lovely atmosphere on a sunny day. The outdoor patio is entirely shaded too, which is nice. Staff are friendly and attentive. No complaints. I still remember when this location was a Peet's. Even in its new and revised form, it's still a personal fav in the pearl. read more

Diagonal from the corporate evil empire, this small, green plant adorned, coffee shop offers 2 different espresso beans as well as a single origin blend drip coffee. I ordered a Bolivian Americano which was full flavored and served with a smile from the barista. Super friendly vibes are always appreciated. read more

I discovered this coffee shop last time I visited Portland and loved it. I knew I had to come back this visit too. Their rose croissant is so good! I've never seen this flavor profile for a croissant anywhere so O thought it was quite unique. There is not a strong floral flavor at all, just a hint of a little something your can't put your finger on. They still had their seasonal menu offerings available so I got the browned butter oat latte and it was perfect for a sunny but chilly windy day. Service was top notch as well. read more

Was hoping to grab a Peet's but their old location is now a Good Coffee. Ordered a large drip. Was a 12 ounce overpriced coffee that did not even taste good. Won't be coming back. read more

This was a really nice place. The barista was nice. My mom enjoyed her mocha. I told her I like sweet drinks and she recommended the salted caramel latte. It wasn't very sweet and I would not get it again. If you like strong coffee with subtle other flavors you might like this place. read more

Really like this place. I come here multiple times a week and always feel super welcome. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Awesome pastries and a GREAT selection of seasonal drinks. Cozy little shop with a cute window facing bar seats and little booths. read more

Easily one of the best coffee shops I've been to in Portland. This is the only place where I've had a proper latte--rich, not watered down, and just chef's kiss. I got a pumpkin spice latte (extra sweet), so maybe that's why it was delicious? But still amazing nonetheless. The vibe? Immaculate. Right next to Powell's Books, always busy with people reading or working, so if you like a lively atmosphere, this is the spot. The only downside is the line setup it's kinda confusing, and they need a sign to direct people. Now, matcha lovers... I wouldn't get a matcha latte here. They pre-make it in a clear container (yikes), and it's mostly milk with a hint of matcha. That said, they sell local matcha powder--$20 for 40g, decent quality, slightly grassy, seaweedy, and astringent. With the current matcha shortage, it's not a bad buy, but if the price goes up, just go straight to Ippodo. read more

A great coffee at this new good coffee in Pearl district. Baristas were friendly and made drinks fast. I also ordered the pink rose croissant which was just incredible. Light, fluffy, glazed = awesome!! The caramel latte was awesome. We sat outside to enjoy the breeze but the inside was also tidy and well decorated. I would definitely come back read more

I am thrilled to have Good within a block of my home finally. For many years, Good has been my go-to place in the city. Their Woodlark Hotel location has been ideal for coworking or journalling, and their SE 12th location was my first Portland café when I moved here. The interior is large, airy, and has quite a good amount of seating, considering what was here before they arrived. I am a big fan of the color scheme, and the wall color evokes the Portland spirit with dark greens that make the space feel cozy. The team confirmed that in the summer, we can expect the large garage doors to be open to allow ample seating on the patio. For anyone accustomed to Good's abundant seasonal drinks and consistently excellent beverages, you will be more than satisfied here. The food items have been trendy, so arrive earlier to snag their fantastic food and pastries. I was surprised at the location of the till/ordering service since it seems oddly placed in the center of the space. However, I came here at the end of the first opening date, and it could be functionally designed/placed when the morning rush of locals and office workers come by. I will have to return to get a better feel of the place when things change as the team learns what works here. Finally, we have something nearby to compete with the more corporate Starbucks and Umbria. I am glad that I can support this fantastic local franchise. I am always a fan of the staff asking for names, since they really do want to get to know the neighborhood. This is a community space - so bring your best self and chat with the person next to you. Share the love of Good! read more

The lattes here are ! We got the maple smoked orange latte and matcha lavender iced latte. The flavors are spot on without being overly sweet. Seating and ambiance are cozy. Not the biggest place, so whether you're here for grab and go to shop nearby or take a breather, it's the place to be. read more

One of the girls working here told me I needed to leave because I was taking pictures with my phone. She said if I didn't leave, she was going to contact Security. I told her I wasn't taking pictures with my phone and she could go ahead and contact Security. I would like the record of this. Security came and he told me I needed to leave. I wasn't allowed to take pictures in the store. I told the man I was not taking pictures in the store. I wasn't doing anything wrong. I'm busy please leave me alone. I gave him my phone number and I said if you want to talk to me, you can call me. He called me. I have his phone number. I emailed the Good Coffee company from their website. I explained I had something similar happen at Dutch Brothers 2057 SW. Burnside Ave. One of the girls reported to Henry the security guard that I was watching pornography on my phone. Henry asked me to leave. I contacted the corporate office several days later at district manager called me. We spoke for 15 minutes. I explained to her I was not watching pornography on my phone. I was watching the presentation by my friend Marco Ripá on gifted children that he had given in Dubai back in 2012. https://youtu.be/3XYJGNt1gPM?si=LQz-27ViSoTNmC9H The district manager said I could go back in the store when I went back into the store Tonya the security guard told me I needed to leave. I wasn't permitted there. I asked one of the girls behind the counter and she said Olivia the manager did not want me in the store. I contacted the Corporate office five more times and never received a response back. read more

Super fast service. Very intriguing seasonal drinks. I myself got an iced mocha as I was too scared to get coffee I might not like. Sadly I do not really like the mocha either. It's very bitter and the chocolate is particles floating around in it. Not a great chocolate flavor from them. My other family members got the hot horchata and cardamom pear seasonal drinks. They came with beautiful latte art. The horchata was not spicy enough for them but the cinnamon smell was strong. The pear cardamom was subtle and yummy when I tried it but there were lots of grains of cardamom in it at the end. read more

I was in town visiting family, so I'm not very familiar with the area. It seemed this location was new. It's very cute and clean. The baristas were very friendly and helpful. Honestly, I had probably one of the best coffees I've had in my life here. It's a bold statement, and I'm making it. I had a coffee off their seasonal menu, the Sarsaparilla Anise Latte. It's made with "Espresso, milk, and a reduction made from sarsaparilla root, birch root, and star anises. Garnished with ground star anise." It was lovely. Black licorice haters probably won't like this particular beverage, but anyone who likes black licorice should definitely try this. The flavors were well-combined, and it wasn't too sweet, which is how I like my coffee. Even my relatives who dislike black licorice said that, even though they'd never buy it themselves, they actually that it was gold. Definitely visiting this location again when I'm in the area! read more

Very friendly staff, the service was awesome. Grabbed a hot chocolate here before getting some breakfast so didn't try any food, though their Rose croissant in the case looked yummy. The ambiance of the shop was bright and the vibe seemed very positive! read more
