    Outside from across the street

    Hidden gem of a coffee shop! Tucked next to Screen Door on E Burnside, the front of this store is tiny and easy to miss. Head inside and you'll find incredibly creative drinks and a surprisingly large underground seating area that is retro-style and like a windowless casino where time ceases to pass (or flies by). Staff is super friendly while also taking their coffee seriously. This will definitely be a spot added to my cafe rotation as I'm excited to see the seasonal specials they come up with!

    No preference was the perfect blend of upscale flavors and down-to-earth atmosphere. Everything is crafted to perfection, and the service was freindly!

    The drink I ordered wasn't my favorite, but the customer service was great. No Preference is a really neat coffee shop with TONS of seating. At first the place looks really small, but near the counter was a small set of steps which led to a really big area with tables and chairs. No Preference is a really cool spot to sip a coffee and just hang out!

    Okay, No Preference might just be my new favorite coffee shop--and no, that's not a contradiction. Walked in this afternoon expecting a tiny little grab-and-go spot, and boom--there's a whole cozy basement hideaway downstairs that feels like a secret clubhouse for chill vibes and great tunes. Super welcoming, relaxed, and somehow both stylish and unpretentious. The staff? Absolutely amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and actually took the time to get to know me and help me pick drinks I'd love. (Spoiler: they nailed it.) I tried the Pineapple Orange Guava Matcha--subtle and refreshing like a tropical vacation in a cup. But the Banana Miso Latte? That one stole my heart. It's weird. It's wonderful. I want another already. Also had a sandwich with chorizo sausage and mango habanero hot sauce that hit the spot. Pro tip: get the hot sauce. Trust me. You'll thank me later. Prices were totally fair, especially for the quality and service. This place is a vibe, a flavor adventure, and a comfort zone all in one. I'll definitely be back--and next time, I'm bringing friends.

    A welcoming coffee shop with a great atmosphere. Previously called Kopi coffee, but it seems the place has a new owner. I was a bit confused to locate this place as the map on my iPhone still shows both Kopi and No Preference at the same location. A decent price, no extra charge for alternative milk, and various coffee/tea options. I also saw some pastries in the window. My oat milk latte was creamy, balanced, and tasty for sure. Once I entered, l also noticed more seats and tables in the back.

    First time here and absolutely love it. The coffee was amazing and super tasty! Perfect temperature as well and creamy. The service was great! The ambiance was nice and cozy, especially during the rainy season. Will definitely be back to try other lattes.

    Barista/Owner was very friendly and made me a beautiful cappuccino. Space was relaxing and a bit quirky. Very comfortable space!

    New owner and name "No Preference" coffee shop. Great coffee and service. Make their own syrups not so sweet. Cozy, nice music and some art.

Great service from friendly barista. I ordered the Chocolate Jesus and my kid had the Arabic People's Latte. Both drinks were unique and superbly delicious with cardamom accents. I would have ordered another round but I didn't want to be a jittery maniac for the rest of the day. I'm not a Portland resident, but I do live in the PNW. Tōv will always be my first stop when passing through the Rose City.

I've been here quite a few times and have really enjoyed the Aribic People's latte with its strong cardamon overtones, the Chocolate Jesus and today, the Mucho Calliente, which promises a chili infusion, and cinnamon infused espresso with dark chocolate! But wait..., oh no, I forgot to ask for oat... this is probably (certainly) dairy. Argh! Sorry, I have no Viking blood and can not digest cow milk. I would rather battle the aforementioned Viking before I'd endure the results of ... dairy! So, I brought my drink up fully prepared to pay for another and everyone there, EVERYONE, in almost unison, refused to take my payment. They kindly and quickly made another and... oh... spicy indeed, but chocolatey and balanced! One of the best spicy mochas I've had anywhere ... and I am an absolute Spella snob and proud of it! Inside secret: Don't miss out on the great selection of truly authentic Egyptian foods and pastries, as well as some really nice necklaces and earrings. If you need that piece to pull your whole Nefertiti look together before going out for a Saturday of dancing and fun... this is your hidden gem!

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.

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 :)
