Great service, tasty smoothies! I always visit here when I'm in the area. They also have a point system where you can earn rewards with each visit. Sometimes it can be difficult to find parking in the middle of the day but it's worth a little bit of a walk. read more

I was really craving a smoothie. I heard good things about this place so I thought I'd give it a try. To be fair, I stupidly didn't look at the hours and thought they were still open around 3:30 on Friday, May 10, because the door was still open as they were closing. The person first encountered me as they were closing as I was browsing the menu outside and said "woah you scared me." I felt really badly. I walked in thinking they were open and that same person said "I'll just shut the door behind you." And then I walk in to look at the menu and the same person asked "woah, where are you going?" Made me feel very stupid and badly. I then asked if they were still open and that person said "no, we close at 3." I apologized and instead of politely saying it's okay, that person said "ugh it's okay haha." It was very passive aggressive. I tried to stay patient and being autistic and having anxiety myself, I easily get sensitive. They could've just told me they were closed when I was looking at the menu and I probably would've come back and ranked this place higher. I don't think I'll be going back after this encounter, which gave me very bougie vibes. Fortunately, the Celery is across the street and it's open until 7- not to mention service is kinder and more professional. I went there instead and got a good smoothie. read more

Great place with healthy and veggie options. The breakfast burrito with sweet potato and black bean is delicious. Great coffees and smoothies too! Does have a few outlets and seating if you want to work a bit in the morning. Spacious patio in the back too! read more

I hate to do this, but the last few times I've been here the quality of the food has really gone down. I just ordered a breakfast burrito and there's hardly any food at all. It's almost completely flat from lack of filling. The last time I went, the tofu was barely cooked. Whoever is in the kitchen now on weekends is just not even trying. read more

I am very disappointed with the burrito I ordered through Postmates. There was hardly any egg and a couple of pieces of spinach but a ton of avocado. In the pictures they show the sweet potato as orange colored (yams) but this burrito has the white sweet potatoes. The taste was okay. The avocado really masked any of the taste it was trying to convey. The only reason I give it a 2 star review is because I asked for no queso fresco and they did as I asked. read more

This place was so cute and has fantastic, healthy food if you're looking for a guilt free breakfast in Portland. Came here with a friend for breakfast and it is nestled in a cute area of Portland with lots of great shopping and food, coffee shops and more in the surrounding area. The interior was clean and it is self serve with ordering at the counter. Unique food options, i opted for a ginger lemon shot then the pink poa toast which was exceptional! The beet sauce is to die for not sure what they put in it but it is so so tasty! My colleague got the paleo bowl which she really enjoyed and highly recommended. She also ordered the chagaccino which is one of my favorite drinks and was super tasty! We ate the food before I could get photos but hope to go back and capture some next time cause it was so amazing! Service was friendly but I will admit they were not willing to make many accommodations so something to be aware of for those who may have specific dietary restrictions. read more

This is a great place for a clean ingredient natural smoothie. Also it tastes really good, I liked the green smoothie better than the berry one but both were really delicious. Their burritos are also really good and have a lot of flavor. read more

Here's a tip: if you're going to advertise avocado toast, you should make sure that the item (i) contains avocado; and (ii) has **toasted** bread. Otherwise, you end up serving the customer a soggy piece of sourdough bread with avocado seeping down into it. Other reviewers' photos show that the restaurant knows how to toast bread. Maybe my order was just handled by someone who needs more training. read more

Poa Cafe - This ain't avocado toast. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best smoothies in town! I've lived down the street for 3 years now and am so grateful for POA.

I am having a really bad couple of weeks. I ordered breakfast from Poa this morning and I literally felt compelled to let them know how amazing their food is. You have made my day so much brighter:))) I ordered the avocado toast and added smoked salmon. Everything about this meal was delicious from the first bite to the last. The bread was a thick cut artisan slice, with a nice crust. It was covered in delicious mashed avocado, flavorful melt in your mouth smoked salmon, and topped with really fresh salad greens dressed with a delicious honey mustard dressing. I can't recommend enough. read more

I'm honestly shocked to see any negative comments- in fact, the negative comments seem very overly critical. This place is amazing. The pink POA toast is the best avocado toast ever. The outside patio is adorable and there are many options on the menu. 10 stars! read more

Good vibes are always at Poa Cafe. From the service to the food, I'm always leaving smiling!

The place is full of light and has a great vibe. Out door is basic and doesn't match the inside or the beautiful food ! Avocado toast was great and it came with a small salad Waffle was fluffy and delicious! Smoothie was a + Will be going back ! read more

I would give 6+ stars if I could. We had party/reception at Poa for nearly 60 people on July 3, 2021 evening. It was the best event experience I ever had. The vibe, the drinks, the food, the cost!!! all amazing. Janice and her team did an outstanding job of service all around. We hung out on the large outside patio - and danced inside - with a dj. I highly recommend Poa as an event space and a cafe. It is a GEM! read more

Food was decent and very healthy but I probably won't be back. The service was friendly and helpful and charming. The atmosphere was loud so not a place to go for conversation. Offerings were creative and my smoothie was very good but Portland has so many great options. read more

The staff is always friendly and accommodating to my weird requests. I get the build your own smoothie with different add-ons and extra fruit or kale to get my daily dose of veggies. read more

Used to love coming here after work out classes and the quality has gone down. Which is a bummer because the prices are already on the higher side. Some of the employees are warm, others are unpleasant. read more

I would eat here everyday but recently found out they use canola oil!! For a restaurant that is supposed to be healthy, I would hope they would use a healthier oil option for their food!! read more

We loved it. The food was very good. Subtly seasoned, tasteful... A good grilled bread with a heartily added topping. Also, great coffee. Portland is renowned for its coffee, but it's not always as good as this one. Moreover, the servers were very nice. They recognised us the second time we went there and were particularly patient with us, being a complicated party. Just loved it. read more

Poa never disappoints. Service is always great despite being busy aaaand a little known secret is to pre-order online so your order is waiting for you at pick up! read more

I'm on a low carb, gf diet and Poa cafe is the place to go. 10/10 every time! When I want to really indulge I get the gf waffle with berries it's soooo good!!! read more

Stopped at Poa in search of brunch during a foodie weekend in Portland and it hit the spot! I wanted a simple savory breakfast sandwich with coffee and they had just that, a cheddar, egg, and bacon on sourdough bread with drip coffee. Husband got a pink toast, avocado toast with smoked salmon and beet tahini and matcha latte. Fueled us right up to explore and find more food :) read more

Employees are disrespectful and rude. Food is inconsistent and beware if you make any substitutions or special requests, it will likely not be correct. Space is dirty, if you look around at ceiling and walls, they are covered in cobwebs and splattered food. read more

I was looking for a kid-friendly place and Poa delivered. Perfect spot to grab breakfast with little ones. Great food, fantastic service, play area for young kids (prob 3 and under). That being said, this is not the place to go without young kids. Very loud and chaotic, no coffee refills. read more

Something for everyone. Efficient staff. Wear a sweater. It's so cold that I wouldn't recommend ordering coffee. Should be nice in the summer. read more

Poa Cafe - Order at counter then sit. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Portland sets the bar high for health food cafes/juice bars, and Poa quite simply does not meet it, on any level. My boyfriend and I live down the street and have both given this place many many shots to get it right. It fails every time due to unfriendly service and a product that is just not quality enough for the price point they charge. An $8 smoothie that has the same consistency as water and tastes void of nutritional value is not worth $8. We need a healthy cafe like Poa on Williams, but until they can get it right, we'll be spending our money at one of the better options around town. read more

Pretty neat little Shop that serves coffee, healthy smoothies and booze....something for everyone! The place is nice and spacious with a back patio and also kid friendly. The juice I had was the Spring Clean Elixir....coconut water, spinach, banana, pear, apple, walnuts, and tumeric. The drink is pretty light and refreshing. read more

We stopped in here for a quick coffee on our way back to the house. We got a lavender latte and a black coffee. Everything was very good. Everyone was very friendly. I wish they had a little more variety of coffees, but enjoyed what they did have. read more

Absolutely love Poa cafe! I've tried two flavors of smoothie, the avocado toast is my go-to!! The patio seating is so cute and the staff are really nice! And they have a kangen water machine. That's the whole reason I go here to be honest! It's like magic on tap and my body thanks you for making this accessible! Definitely recommend. read more

My friend and I went in for brunch today and we both dealt with the rudest staff (two different women). She was charged twice and the woman at the register seemed pretty upset she was asked to show that it was refunded. Her eggs were also done wrong (not as ordered) but she was too exasperated to go ask for it to be fixed. The wrong food was brought to our table - no big deal. Then another server brought my coffee and practically ran away - no cream, as I'd asked for. When I went up to ask for it, she rolled her eyes at me and made had an audible disgusted response. I get it - it's Sunday. You're busy. But being rude will just assure that we won't be back. read more

Love this place. Just wish they had longer hours into the evening. Great patio and tasty drinks

My wife had some other mom friends refer her to this cafe, and we decided to give it a try for brunch on a Saturday. It is located in a great spot right off N Williams. Upon walking in the first thing I noticed was the noise. I am an elementary educator who is very used to the loudness of a child, but this place is LOUD. My wife ordered a bacon/brussel/sweet potato bowl that was VERY tasty. I ordered avocado toast w/bacon and egg. The bacon was quite good, but the toast was under toasted and the avocado a bit bland. We both ordered coffee (drip and cold brew) neither of which were very good. This place has a niche that it is very kid friendly. It has a nice play area cut out for the kids to play with a lot of wooden toys and entertainment. Our daughter is only 10 months old, and was too young to enjoy the toys with so many other older children around. They also have an impressive outdoor area out back with what looks like a little pizza oven and bar top. My totally unsolicited advice would be to improve the coffee, and reduce the noise as much as humanly possible. read more

I've been here a few times and the first couple of times it was great. But after that, I've pretty much lost my appetite for this place. I love how convenient it is being just down the street and the staff is always friendly. But the food itself is bland and soaked in grease. Their coffee tastes like dirt water and it's overly priced. This last time, my food was supposed to be done at 12:25 and I waited 15 minutes past that. I was also asked for my name 4 times by the same two people and was mistaken for someone else a few times as well. I wasn't notified my order was ready and no one called out my name. I would've waited who knows how long for my food if I didn't go back up to the counter to ask if it was ready. Safe to say I will not be recommending this place or going there any longer. I get they were busy but no matter how busy you are, you should pay attention. read more

Rude barista and terrible coffee. The girl who took my half cafe, oatmilk latte order was nice, but the girl who made my drink apparently thought my order was "over the top" or extra by her raised eyebrows, excessive blinking, and the visceral head retraction when she was told the order by her co-worker. I was standing right there and could see her reaction (?!). On top of that, I ordered a 12 oz and got a 16 oz, but I didn't dare say anything for fear of receiving attitude. When mr order was ready, there was zero eye contact or "bye" or "hope to see you again" . Well, you won't see me again that's for sure! I should have walked a couple extra blocks for coffee at Either/Or. read more

Friendly staff and delicious smoothies. I can't wait to try more here and hang in the patio area!
