    Stopped here during my relentless pursuit of my ideal coffee lounge and I'm really glad I did. It's a relatively small shop but also full of life and character. There's a few small tables inside but also several large picnic tables outside. Music was mellow and agreeable to me. I enjoyed an Americano. I'm not sure what the beans were but it was very tasty, with a hint of berry? It was unique. Service was great.

    I came here today to grab a coffee and really liked it! The most aesthetic coffee shop I have been to in Portland. Sooo cute. I love the cups that the coffee comes in and it's cool that you can buy them. This place is more for drinks than pastries or food. They had a few pastured but no food menu. My latte was great. Around 5$ for a small. Baristas were very friendly and efficient. I came on a Saturday morning around 10:00 and there was a good amount of people but it wasn't over busy or crowded. Nice outdoor seating and a few small tables inside.

    A PDX SE fan favorite. Delicious coffee, friendly staff. Very cool layout. Colorful. Some indoor, mostly outdoor seating. Street parking. Enjoy!

    Their colors are too cute

    Visited Portland for the holiday and Never was close to my stay. Also in such a cute area with food trucks and Tabor Bread nearby! But back to Never - They have tons of signature lattes and seasonal drinks. During my trip I had the Oregon (iced and hot even though it was in the 90s) and Rich Kid iced. Both were delicious. I think the hot Oregon was my fave so it was rough having the weather not line up w a cozy latte... I've seen mixed reviews on this but I had a good experience with staff - they gave me a discount on my sweater purchase when they noticed it had coffee stains on it. Also they didn't judge me when I bought two coffees for myself lol. Speaking of merch, they have such cute marketing! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Portland!

    I went here with my family who was visiting from out of town, great tasting coffee Very nice to have the tables outside to sit. I took my baby on a walk in her stroller . Would definitely be back. Purchased a rad key chain for 5$.

    Never is such a fun coffee spot for some very creative lattes! I love getting the rich kid which I believe is a cardamom rose water saffron latte. A 12oz is $7 which is a lot but it's very good. I also purchased a bag of beans to try as well. The space is small but mighty. Good amounts of seating inside and outside. Parking is free and plentiful. The staff is friendly and very fast. I've been here a handful of times and I usually come when I want to get out on a morning to get a coffee somewhere special by myself.

    overall: 4/5 drink: 4/5 service: 4/5 ambiance: 5/5 i came in the summer of the last year, and the vibes were great! the baristas were super kind and charismatic, which made our experience all the better. i love the interior- all the colors with the greens and cool tones are beautiful, but there is no seating inside the cafe, so it seems more of a grab and go situation, or grab and go sit outside in the summer situation. my friend and i ordered the Oregon and the Rich Kid! i forget which one i got, but i tried both and remembered liking the Rich Kid more, as the coffee flavor was strong and there seemed to be a lot of ingredient thrown in to the drink that makes this cafe unique and the drink yummy! coffee flavor wise, it's not too strong, but i could taste hints of the roast along the other flavors used within the drink. i think it's all personal preference as to whether or not you like the drink, as my friend did not think there was enough coffee taste and thought the drinks were too light. however, i do recommend checking out this place in the summer! good vibes, good people, and yummy drinks.

    Great coffee shop with an awesome aesthetic. It's a pretty small shop, with two baristas working behind the counter. The shop is filled with lush green plants, original art, and merch. I ordered a dirty chai latte with almond milk. It had the perfect amount of spice I would expect from a chai latte, and the espresso was STRONG! Usually when I order a dirty chai I expect it to taste more like a regular latte with a hint of chai flavor. But this was the perfect marriage of chai tea and espresso, both flavors were bold yet perfectly balanced. I gave Never Coffee four stars because the customer service wasn't there for me. I walked in and said hello before either barista acknowledged me. It wasn't a very warm and welcoming vibe in there, but more of like get in and get out. They do have picnic tables on the sidewalk for outside seating if you wanted a place to sit and sip.

    Locally roasted coffee

    What a fun cafe to explore coffee. A choice of 6 different blends. Medium roast across the board. One decaf. Inside is clean and polished. Samples of coffee lay in a basket. Syrups to mix with your coffee. Cups to hold your brew. Much to take in , so I ordered a house with cream . Didn't ask which blend I got, but it tasted good. Purchase the "OH" blend of coffee. 12 ounces for a twenty. I did not watch how they brewed my coffee. Could be pour over. So my task was to take home whole bean coffee , brew in my auto drip, and enjoy. So far, I'm happy with the coffee I chose.

    Their coffee was super velvety and they were busy but attentive. I would go back but my friend found their coffee to be average. I thought otherwise. The guy at the register was super friendly and genuine. Great service.

    Wonderful coffee shop. Everyone is so friendly & the coffee is fine af. I haven't had their regular lattes but their specialty ones are truly special. My favorites are the Oregon, holy grail, and rich kid (in that order). $8 IS expensive for coffee but if you're going to treat yourself once in a while this is 100% worth it.

When I don't know what to do with my day, or I have work to catch up on, I go to Tov and go from there. Drink-wise, I often go for a Mucho Caliente, the "Mushit," a mushroom-based chai invention, or a Rose Mocha. I've had mochas all over and none compares to the way Joe and his staff concoct the drinks at Tov. The chocolatey-ness, viscosity, mouthfeel, flavor, sippability, sweetness, always satisfy my palate, and the balance of coffee to other flavors is always to my preference. Their drinks are decadent and may take a bit longer to make than expected, and I find it is well worth the wait. I enjoy getting comfortable on Joe's very colorful red cushions, taking in the purple Egyptian vibes within and the eccentric vibrancy that is Hawthorne outside. Fun fact: Joe doesn't believe in plain old ice, and instead he freezes cubes of milk! The cubes stratify into discrete layers that are fun to crunch through, reminiscent of the layers of baklava. Very enjoyable for someone who normally avoids ice or chewing on ice.

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.

Their shop is very curated and is definitely has a "recently here because of gentrification vibe." However, I know it's been in Portland for a while and locals swear by it. With shops like these I find it easy to focus and work. The minimalist and industrial decor is a great place for adhd brains like mine. I was warmly greeted by someone at the register. I was interested in so many choices on their matcha. Horchata iced coffe, orange latte, strawberry Ube matcha. I asked the barista if they do exchanges or remakes for drink if the customer dislikes what they ordered. She mentioned they have a NO REMAKES policy. I knew it was time to lock in instead of trying something Willynilly. She was super patient with me as I wondered what to get and discussed my hesitations. She let me sample a tiny amount of the strawberry uber syrup and lavender to make my decision and it helped. I ended up getting and iced lavender matcha and didn't regret it at all. It's been hard for me to find good matcha in Portland and they didn't disappoint. The syrup was blended in well. The flavor of the matcha wasn't too grassy, bitter or powdery. I'm sad it's a seasonal drink because I'll Miss it. I also got an almond croissant, which was good but not mind blowing. I think I'll try the banana bread next time. They have a bathroom, 1 booth, bench seating and wall seating. It would be a bit of a challenge to bring a group larger than 3 here as they're small and busy. Maybe if you sat outside. Glad I gave this place a chance :)
