    MATCHA SOFTSERVE!!! All this matcha holy cow
    Danvy D.

    MAKO MATCHA MILL 5/5 I love this place so much that I have to stop myself going multiple times in one day The owners really pride their matcha grown and made entirely in the USA - Salem, OR to be exact! Inside they have a milling machine so you can watch them make matcha powder in real time, it's as fresh as it gets. Their flavor combos are fantastic and fun too! My favorite is either the mango sticky rice or the hojicha w/ jasmine On top of everything else their prices are UNBEATABLE!!! $5 for a matcha latte in this economy is basically a steal!!!! They also have food items for Masu sushi like their egg sandos, musubis, and confectioneries from local bakers! Price: $5-7 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: Street, lot, and store front parking available! Store Capacity: 49

    Pretty convenient place to get matcha drinks and soft serve in the downtown Portland area. The matcha with mango swirl was a refreshing treat after lunch.

    Enjoying some amazing  grown in the US matcha!

    High quality matcha with friendly, wonderful staff. The whole experience was top notch!

    I've been back several times since the soft opening and the experience always gets better. I like seeing the new decor that populates the shelves. It's also nice to see all the baristas behind the bar getting a hang of things. The matchas here compared to many other Portland spots is STRONG. This is perfect for me because I always could use the extra caffeine but if that's not your preference it might taste off to you. Also -- still don't know if they're serving their in-house milled matcha yet, so staying tuned for that. Matcha w/ strawberry syrup: 5/5. Great viscosity. I like my fruit syrups more jam-like and Mako's mixes well in the drink.

    I had one of their special drink of the day. The carrot cake matcha. It had carrot juice and topped with crumbles. It was a nice, light and refreshing drink. I really enjoyed it. The place was busy and had a line, but it went pretty fast with the super nice and speedy matcha mixers.

    This newly opened matcha shop might just be a favorite for me! Although parking is a bit annoying as it is in downtown Portland, this cozy shop is a great spot to chat with a friend or get some work done. Their menu has some of the most affordable prices that I've seen and not only do they offer matcha, but they also offer teas and hojicha as well. They also have a variety of syrups to customize your drink and the option to switch to a milk alternative (oat) comes at no added cost. I got their matcha latte with jasmine syrup while my friend got their strawberry latte. Both were delicious but I thought the strawberry was better as the jasmine wasn't very fragrant (it was just sweet). Nonetheless, it was amazing and I would definitely come back.

    Fresh ground action!

    This spot is great! I loved the matcha which was so beautifully light and floral just like spring dew. It's fun watching the grinder do its thing. I thought the prices were excellent as well. Don't be dissuaded by the line, it moves fast, though you might need to wait a bit for your beverage. I just think of it as a privilege to have fresh ground matcha in the morning.

    An awesome new matcha spot! Inside is super pretty and cozy. They curated their space very well. I especially love the counter seats where you can watch the baristas in action. They have a rotating menu with fun syrups and cold foam. We tried the Match Latte and Latte with Ube Syrup. I honestly liked the Latte with Ube more than I thought! Perfectly creamy and sweet. The Matcha was alright to me, maybe it'd be better hot and with some sweetness. The Spam Musubi was a nice snack with our drinks. Prices were good as well. Would come back to try more!

    It's so wonderful to see how high the matcha bar has increased in Portland compared to just a few years ago, where almost every matcha I ordered was 95% milk or incredibly bitter. I hope people who've previously had bad matcha experiences or think they don't like matcha can give Mako a try because I'll definitely change some minds - and even if you still aren't down with matcha, there's plenty of other great tea options to please!

    Cute and spacious cafe nestled in downtown portland with beautiful wooden decor. We came about a week after opening on Sat, waited about 40 mins. Decent line but moved fast enough. A small 12oz matcha latte is $4 and large 20oz is $6. They use 4g matcha for small and 7g for large. We got the regular matcha latte and jasmine matcha latte. The only difference is the jasmine syrup! DEFINITELY get the jasmine matcha - it adds a subtle floral jasmine flavor that complements the matcha well. For the matcha itself, it has a lovely grassy with just the right amount of light bitterness to cut through the milk. The price is so affordable and refreshing for this day and age considering they mill their own matcha in store!! I'm not sure if there's any other matcha cafes in the US that mill their own matcha.They also hand whisk EACH drink instead of batching! This is my new fav matcha spot. Even though it's all the way in downtown, it's worth the drive and the wait.

    The day of the soft opening there weren't many people there. The matcha was only $2.00 and another $1.00 if you wanted frothy cream on top. They even offered a complimentary tea flight. It was spectacular. A few days later there was a huge line so we skipped it. A week later we were back and the line inside was short. They were still serving a limited menu. I got their regular iced matcha with oat milk and cream. The vibe is very trendy and clamoring with loud conversation. The aesthetic is simple and serene in quite a juxtaposition to the loud atmosphere. There is plenty of seating so go get your matcha on. 2026 - Review # 8

    my first stop on this trip to pdx was Mako Matcha Mill!! Verdict: best matcha i've ever had so far!! everyone in portland is so nice and the baristas were so fun and chatty, complimented my vintage green bag (made me super happy cos i love this bag so much lol) and even remembered me from my bag when i came back a couple of days later. Interior is soo cute and modern with natural accents. Both times I went it was pretty busy but my order was taken and also made pretty fast. The vibes from the employees is very positive I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup. A really good, classic order and the matcha had a strong flavor that blended well with the oat milk! They use Califia i think which is the best oat milk in my opinion lol. Menu is still small and it seems like it changes every day? Not sure but they do have a variety of options for milk and sweetener (jasmine, ube, blueberry, etc). When I come back in September, i'd like to try a matcha latte with a jasmine sweetener!

    Blueberry and Jasmine matcha

    1000/10! This place was amazing! From the taste to the service, we ordered the jasmine matcha and blueberry matcha. The male cashier was extremely sweet and helpful. He did a good job at explaining the difference between their matcha powders. It's also very neat getting to see the matcha being milled at the bar. I had to take a couple of tin cans home. This is hands down top 5 matcha places - this is coming from someone in the Bay Area that has tonssss of great matcha shops. Definitely recommend over project matcha - when I asked how many grams of matcha project matcha used in their mates the cashier didn't now ‍

    Simple, modern & aesthetically appealing

They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The modern, cool design of the space is top tier. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when grabbing a coffee in Portland. I also love their progressive approach to dairy; they default to plant based milks and there is no upcharge for them, which is a huge win for accessibility and sustainability. ​The Cons: Unfortunately, the experience was completely undercut by the quality of the pour. The oat milk curdled almost immediately. I am well aware that Stumptown uses a more naturally acidic brew, which is a science experiment waiting to happen with plant milks, and I know it is technically safe to drink. However, the separation completely ruins the mouthfeel. ​Instead of a creamy, cohesive sip, I was left with a watery base and grainy floaties. It is disappointing to be told that this is normal when specialty cafes have the tools like barista grade buffers and temperature control to prevent this. While the ethics and the aesthetic are on point, a drink that looks and feels curdled just is not an acceptable standard to serve to customers. ​Summary: Great people, great space, great pricing, but the technical execution of the plant based drinks needs a serious overhaul.

I have probably spent a couple thousand dollars on their business. Not being able to pour my cup of coffee in a to-go cup when leaving is ridiculous and not standard practice. I found this out the hard way when I had ordered a drip coffee for here and, when leaving, the women kinda snapped at me when I kindly asked for an 8oz to-go cup. I'm on their bi weekly coffee subscription. I'm located in Portland and my bag of beans was routed from Portland to Detroit, then San Francisco then back to my home in Portland on my last order. How odd. I tried reaching out to them to figure out what's going on and there is no way of contacting their business. Their website has no contact information and I called multiple times and no one would pick up the phone. I finally found a personal gmail account linked to their business somewhere on their google business profile but no one ever responded to me. I find it to be very odd that they're running an online business, you can't contact them, and they don't have anyone attending customer service. That's very bad practice. If it weren't for how good the coffee is, PushXPull would be dead last on my preferred coffee shop. I'll update my review once these issues are addressed.

It manages to be effortlessly cool without being intimidating, and the quality of the coffee is consistently top-tier. Here is why it's my favorite corner of the Pearl District: The Coffee Curation: What sets Barista apart is that they are a multi-roaster cafe. They feature a rotating selection of the best beans from across the country (and locally!). Whether you're drinking a pour-over or a traditional macchiato, the flavor profiles are always distinct and expertly pulled. Masterful Latte Art: The baristas here are true artists. Every drink looks like a masterpiece, but more importantly, the milk texture is always silky and perfectly steamed. The Aesthetic: The space is stunning. With its dark wood accents, industrial-chic lighting, and those massive windows looking out onto the cobblestone streets of the Pearl, it's the perfect spot to people-watch or get lost in a book. It feels like a cozy, sophisticated library for coffee lovers. The Staff: Despite being one of the busiest spots in the neighborhood, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They are always happy to nerd out about tasting notes or help you pick a bag of beans to take home. The Vibe: It's a great balance of "neighborhood regular" and "must-visit destination." It captures that classic Portland energy perfectly. Pro Tip: Pair your drink with one of their fresh pastries--their selections are always fresh and complement a bold espresso perfectly.
