But I think they're doing something fun and have some of the most unique coffee drinks in the city. I love their colorful branding, the mugs, the mural, the plants. I got the Rich Kid + Midnight Oil (and wish I had seen their sign for their take on a pumpkin spice called The Yams - I'll need to pay more attention to their seasonal flavors). I always forget which one I like best. I wish they had a flight. I'd also like to come back and try their beans - they have many bags/options - but the lattes are too tempting.

TL;DR: A small, bustling coffee shop on the corner of a busy intersection in the Hawthorne…read moreneighborhood serving interesting beverages. The Experience: I visited Golden Hour with a friend after taking a break from thrifting clothes around the Hawthorne neighborhood. What stood out: Food: I ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oatmilk. The presentation was gorgeous with layers of colors and textures. The drink was a bit sweeter than my usual taste but tasted high quality and refreshing. The crunchy strawberries on top were a yummy surprise. Ambiance: Golden Hour is quite small and sound carries. The workers talking to eachother were fairly loud. If I am in the area in the future, Golden Hour will be on my list to stop at!

Tasty flavored lattes!…read more I felt lucky to find a parking spot right in front of the cafe. Upon walking in, the staff behind the counter were friendly and kind. I placed my order and the barista let me know about a vegan cold foam alternative. The drink was great and the matcha paired nicely with everything in the drink including pandan, coconut flakes, and vanilla. The interior was clean and there were plenty of places to sit. Lots of people hanging out in the shop, some working, some talking, but it seemed like a good spot to get some stuff done. There was music playing that set a welcoming mood. Overall, highly recommend if you enjoy flavored lattes.

They serve Stumptown coffee primarily I believe, and also have a variety of teas and pastries. It's been open here since 1997 which is pretty impressive. They have a second location on Mississippi. I think the shark art is quite fun.

Maaaaaaybe my new favorite coffee shop!…read more I had been to their other location but for some sad reason never made it here. Located on Hawthorne just past the curve at 50th, they've got plenty of free street parking in the nearby blocks. They don't have much external signage but they do have a lot of outdoor streetside seating, so it makes you wonder what everyone else knows. Inside, they've got Coava coffee, efficient staff, and an old-school cafe vibe. With multiple couches (one of my main criteria for a coffee shop) and free wifi, this is a place to work, meet people, and slow down. Great long hours - they're open 6am-6pm.

For the purposes of this review, please note my rating 3.5 stars…read more The space is cozy and inviting with decent number of seats. The two-tops are fairly snug together so it can feel like you're eavesdropping or being listened to. There's counter seating along one side which had some refreshing morning sun- when a couple seats opened up there, we moved and were very comfy. There are a couple of cozy chairs in the front window and some additional counter and lounge seating in an adjoining room. The drink quality and presentation were high quality and delicious. The cost of a 12oz latte ($7) with no special milk was higher than other cafes I've been to recently around Portland including places that create their own syrups for specialty drinks of the month. That said, I don't begrudge the cost of a masterfully hand-crafted, drinkable cup of art and that is exactly what I received. I think the cost stuck in my head because the welcome did not feel particularly warm at the register. They were having an animated conversation with the barista and I couldn't help but feel like we were inconveniencing them by saying good morning and trying to order. When we picked up our orders, the barista was warm and friendly. Overall, it's a delightful spot in an equally lovely neighborhood.

There is lots of seating, but also a lot of people doing work from the café so it can get busy with folks reading, chatting, studying, on their laptops. I got their seasonal special - the Café de Olla - as well as a day-old bagel with salmon schmear cream cheese. It was great. Looks like they switch out their specials a couple times a year. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Lately they've been doing fun events like a latte art , speed dating, pop-ups from different bakers or wine makers.
