My favorite coffee shop in Portland. Love their cups too! If you love lattes with unique house made syrups, this is the spot for you. There are multiple locations and may have a different latte at some but not others which makes it worthwhile to visit them all at some point. Came here with 4 friends to tried them all one day and my favorite was the Holy Grail & Yuzu Salt. I've been recently trying to cut back on caffeine and ordered a decaf one...and the quality did not change. Just as delicious as the regular one with caffeine, and I was able to sleep after having it around 5pm. Thank goodness for amazing decaf lattes here. read more

Never was good! Glad we came to try it. Small little shop, with some nice spots to sit outside. It was fun to pop in with a crew and sit outside for a bit on a brisk Sunday morning. We liked the drinks we got. There are some interesting signature drinks. I was afraid to commit to them, but I'd be down to try them in the future. Solid specialty coffee read more

This was a first stop on my recent trip to Portland, and I enjoyed it very much, even though THEY DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CASH! (As a SoCal person, this was shocking to me, yet I get it: safety first - I think the area may have had a few issues a few years back? It was lovely now.) My group that I was with has many dietary restrictions, so I really liked that they didn't give us any hassle at all about bringing in our GF treats from a bakery x the street, to enjoy with our coffee. It was a great start to a very fun vaca. Would definitely return! read more

Never Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I got the "hunny" and my girlfriend got a matcha. The matcha came from a squeeze bottle and was not whisked. Inevitably, it tasted terrible. Just milky unmixed bitterness. The hunny was a mixture of coffeee flavors that was simply not good. The actual flavor of coffee was completely drowned. Service was bland, pretty apathetic barista. Place is nice however, good decor and nice branding. Music is good but quite loud read more

First time trying Never Coffee after doing some research and yuzu latte caught my eye. It was close to the hotel I stayed at in the pearl district, so I decided to enjoy a short walk and see what I can f . Located in downtown Portland and is a small coffee shop nearby Powell's City of Books and Blue Star Donuts! . It's spacious cafe enough for a coffee date or a study/work spot. Service was friendly and explained their coffees selections. This is a fun, colorful, and fantastic coffee shop conveniently located next to Dolly Olive . This cafe is colorful and cute, minimalistic, and cozy interior with limited seating. Place wasn't that busy on a Sunday morning around 10 AM, there were probably a total of 6-8 people in the entire coffee shop. . I had the yuzu salt latte (w almond milk). It was fragrant and slightly savory and kind of weird combo like oregon hehe. Yuzu & Salt latte was more on the bitter/tart side, but it would definitely be perfect for someone who enjoys a strong, bitter coffee taste. As a black coffee drinker, this drink was great because it wasn't sweet. The salt made the end notes more smooth. The yuzu was strong enough to taste but not overly powering. It was a one of a kind of latte I have tried, that you won't normally find. This is why it makes this coffee shop stand out for me and will come back and try other drinks. ($6 each with $1 extra for substituting soy milk). . Overall if you find this review helpful, follow for more. Thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day. Would definitely come back if ever in PDX again!! read more

My friend chose this coffee shop for us to try and we both really enjoyed our time at Never Coffee. The environment was chill and it was a great place to hang out and catch up. And all the staff were very friendly. We both had the yuzu & salt lattes and really enjoyed them. I was hesitant to order a drink that seemed so far from my usual iced latte, but I'm glad I did. There was the perfect amount of yuzu for me (not overpowering but definitely there), and the touch of salt brought out the flavors in a great way. I'm really glad we came here and glad I branched out too! read more

Super cute place, has great vibes. Some unique flavors, I got to try hunny and yuzu & salt. They both taste good, great place to relax at if you like to chill at cafes with a nice aesthetic. Worker is very friendly! Not to mention the latte art is also cute. Please note that I am not a coffee snob and don't drink coffee regularly, so if your looking for a review from an expert, I am not that. But I felt like I liked my experience overall. read more

If you're looking for a unique coffee experience, Never Coffee is a must-try! In addition to the bright and cheerful interior, what stood out is the menu of unique and intriguing latte flavors. Never Coffee offers their own custom latte flavors that are unlike anything I've tasted before; I tried the Oregon, which had hints of salted caramel and carrot. I also tried a sip of my mom's Midnight Oil latte, which tasted strongly of black licorice. (Note: Never Coffee sells more traditional coffee and tea beverages as well.) The flavor profile of my latte was complex and unexpected, and I'd be curious to try the other flavors. Given that there are so many coffee shops in Portland, I commend Never Coffee for setting themselves apart with their one-of-a-kind menu. read more

Bartender at hotel recommended Never for a coffee drink. I ordered the Hunny and a cappuccino. Small cafe. Has a minimalist ambiance. I felt peaceful walking in. I chose the Hunny because it's a latte that you would night find anywhere else. Liked the creative drink choice. I picked it because of the dark chocolate! It's delicious. Customer service was outstanding. read more

We all enjoyed our drinks and would I recommend enjoying it there if getting a specialty drink. I got the Yuzu and Salt which was tasty however didn't think the sansho pepper worked all that well in it as that can easily overpower it along with the next ten sips or until the tingling from your lips wears off. Enjoyed it and might try their other specialty drinks but 7 bucks still felt a bit too high. The environment is nice and bright with comfortable room between tables. I was pleasantly surprised with the space not being too noisy even with the hard surfaces. read more

Never Coffee is a pretty cool coffee shop! They have a lot of unique lattes. I got the pop which was a matcha latte with cherry and lime flavors. I wasn't sure if the flavor combination would work but I really liked it. The shop is a bright modern space as well. I didn't get one but the cookies they had looked delicious. Overall, it's a good spot to visit. read more

Squarely in the middle for us. Is it a cute coffee shop? Yes. Staff? Nice Coffee taste? hmmmm. We got the "Oregon" and the "Yuzu & Salt". The good: I liked the Yuzu and Salt. It had a strange flavor, but good. And the salt was really the element that brought it all together. The meh: The Oregon was ok and looked nice but was pretty basic. Not terrible and not great. Might go back next time to try the other flavors. read more

WOW, TOTALLY LOVE THIS SPOT!! Came here with my sis for our trip out to OR. Found this pace from yelp from other reviewers and had to stop by for their cool drink options and choices! I had the hazlenut coffee and she had the matcha late. Both were delish and very flavorful and tasty! We loved the cute decor inside and the superb stellar service from the girls inside the store as well. DEF can say we are a fan of the spot and cant wait to come back on our next visit! read more

Never Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My friend and I stopped by on our last day in Portland before our flight super early. The young woman at the register was so kind and helpful when we were inquiring about the drinks. I was stuck between their Oregon coffee and Pop (matcha based drink with cherry lime syrup). I ended up getting Pop based on the recommendation from the cashier and it was wonderful! The matcha was light in flavor with a nice hint of the cherry lime flavoring. Not overpowering at all and complemented the matcha very well. I learned they make the cherry like syrup in house which 10/10! I was not a huge fan of the Yuzu Salt Latte, but my friend liked it! It's a cute and bright shop with a handful of seating and a great selection of merch! Great spot to drop by if you're in downtown. read more

Never Coffee - Yuzu Salt Latte (left) & Pop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Never Coffee really focuses on their specialty drinks and definitely does a good job with them. Bright lights welcome customers into the store, and there is relatively plentiful seating. Portland's coffee scene is really popping, so it is definitely difficult to stand out among the crowd, but their signature drinks are very different than other places, and a fun place to try out "fun drinks". We got a couple drinks to try, as well as a sampler bag of beans for our espresso at home. The drinks were not too sweet (which I think is often the pitfall of signature drinks), and also had some very interesting flavor combinations. The espresso bean sampler pack is relatively cheap, and allowed us to try out different blends that they have in the shop. Although I am a bigger fan of single origin, lighter roast beans, it was fun to try out different cups with their slightly darker blends. read more

found this coffee shop while exploring and as a tourist to the area it's a Portland vibe... small coffee menu and I ventured to try one of the coffees I saw other yelpers post about... Presentation is def picture worthy, the taste wasn't overly sweet despite the description of celebrating the bee's honey... Service smooth, two guys running the bar and taking orders.. and still able to put out this beautiful coffee read more

Never Coffee - Hunny - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This coffee shop was on my list of places to visit. I loved the aesthetics and the decor of this entire place. (I'm also very biased towards the color pink...so...lol!) My partner and I both ordered the strawberry fields forever matcha latte with oat milk. This combination seems to be the trend of the summer. Unfortunately, I can't say the matcha was quality though. Being the matcha snob that I am, I can just tell if my matcha latte will be on point based off of its vibrancy. There was no grassy or earthy taste. I did appreciate the strawberry syrup though. I do love that they have unique items on their menu...like the yuzu and salt, and they have cute merchandise. I am in deep regret that I didn't purchase one of their ceramic mugs to bring back with me! read more

Perfect little spot to sip delicious coffee and get some work done. It's in the Pearl so parking is metered, but if you live nearby it's a great spot to relax with gorgeous lighting hitting in the early morning hours. Their drinks are unique, and also unique to their location. My absolute fave is the Yuzu which has this herbal powder on top that leaves your senses tingling and wanting more. At first I will say I was concerned I was having an anaphylactic reaction, but after I asked the barista and realized it was a normal reaction it was more pleasant to sit with. I do recommend it with oat or whole milk, coconut milk feels like it overpowers the beverage. They also have little to-go options. Love this option iced or hot. I usually order it hot, and if I can't finish it I ask for a few cubes of ice to take on the road. read more

Dropped by after my lunch to enjoy a hot matcha latte. It was smooth and creamy. I also purchased a matcha cookie and chocolate chip cookie to bring back to California. Cookies were very good. Would definitely return to this shop and try out other drinks on the menu. read more

Wonderfully colorful coffee shop. Signature drinks have amazing flavors. I tried both the Oregon and Midnight Oil. Oregon was great - caramel flavor was wonderful without being overly sweet. The Midnight Oil had a subtle anise and black licorice flavors. So unique and lovely. I'd recommend both! Street parking was no problem during the weekday. I did have an issue with the wifi and couldn't connect, but no one else in the cafe seemed to have an issue read more

I frequent both Never Coffee locations. I will usually grab myself a coffee at their Belmont location and then stop at Tabor Bread for a pastry (or 3), and I'll go to their downtown location when Im grabbing coffee with coworkers. The downtown location has a plenty of seating space and is an artistic minimalist space. They have seasonal and delicious specialty drinks with my favorites being the Yuzu + Salt and the Oregon (cascade hops, dulce de leche, and sea salt) with oat milk. While I'm a big fan of what they do, the specialty drinks with oat milk will run you $9...The prices at never are higher than most other similar spots, and for that reason im giving it a 4/5. read more

There's tons of good coffee in Portland but when it comes to matcha the pickings can be slim. So if you really love matcha and the usual greenish milk that other places serve you is not good enough, you will not be disappointed here. I asked for a shorter matcha to get a more concentrated flavor and Never Coffee delivered. Amazing! read more

What a cute coffee shop! The lighting, bright colors and decor are all so picture perfect. Seating could be better but it's cute. The coffee is what I was here for anyway and I expected good coffee but this was reeaallly good. At the front they have cards with a drink and it's description. It's a cute idea and I wasn't aware of this menu so I of course had to order from this list to really get the full experience! I ordered the Yuzu & Salt which is: yuzu fruit, sansho pepper, burned sugar & coconut cream and described as "A beautiful flavor from an ugly fruit, bursts of Japanese pepper and Oregon salt." It truly delivers. My husband ordered the Pop. I think what he was drawn to most is that it's described to taste like the milk from fruit loops. It's made from tart cherries, makrut lime, and matcha. It's a smooth matcha with a subtle sweet taste that is perfect for matcha and non matcha lovers. read more

Never Coffee - Yuzu & Salt latte Take your tongue and lips on a magic carpet ride. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The flavors were super interesting and I was excited to try this place, however the baristas ignored us when we walked in and were rude when we didn't know the sizes. We had never been in before and even when we got the size correct she still felt the need to correct us. She was also super rude when telling us our drinks were ready. Coffee was also really gross and had a super weird aftertaste. We will not be going back because of the negative atmosphere and gross products! read more

The baristas here were very kind as I asked what I should get as I was new to the cafe. They recommended the custom flavors of lattes they had. I tried the Oregon flavor and really enjoyed it. If you are fan of nuanced coffee flavors without adding too much sweetness this is the place for you. The interior is also gorgeous. It decorated with colour and some increíble tufted fun art on the walls. It's definitely a great place to catch up with friends. read more

Kept hearing about never coffee and I'm glad I stopped by. The coffee shop is fun and fresh with very unique options. I have never heard of yuzu in coffee before and was wary at first but decided to give it a try. To my surprise, it was a really nice blend. The yuzu was subtle and added a fresh taste to the coffee. Rather than drowning the coffee, it enhanced the flavor of the coffee bean. My friend ordered the pop which features matcha and cherry. Again, the flavors were present but not loud. I'm not sure if I'll aways want to drink this type of coffee but I love that these flavors are innovative and available at Never coffee. read more

Yuzu & Salt 1.5/5: Piqued my interest as I've never heard of this combo before. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. It has a bright note from the yuzu that isn't overpowering and is quite nice at first sip, feels light + airy but after that you get this mouthful of what I can only describe as a 'watered down' coffee flavor. Is it strangely the best 'watered down' coffee I've had? Yes. Is that what I want from my coffee? No, haha. Choco Chip Cookie 5/5: I prefer a thinner cookie that gives carmalized crunch but retains enough moisture for chewiness and whoever the baker is.. job well done :) Ambiance 5/5: Very cute! I love the tiles, slat wood ceiling, and decor! It's on the smaller side of a coffee shop but very well used space. There are a couple of picnic tables and an 'L' shape bench lining the walls w/ individual tables & chairs to compliment. Their display of the barista bar and merchandise area is tidy and aesthetically pleasing. Service 3/5: It was my first time visiting so I do enjoy small talk at the counter - there was very little small talk and very short answers to my questions but it's not a deal breaker. Just very very chill, non-chalant energy, like barely existing lol. Overall, I would go back for the ambiance but I wouldn't be going back for the coffee I had today. I do want to try all their unique flavors and their cold brew to make a final decision. read more
