The shop is situated in an iconic part of NW 21st; it exudes sophisticated and timeless charm. Stepping inside, you see the historical bones of the building laced with modern touches of hip decor and thoughtful design. It's a bit retro and a bit edgy all while being chic, so it's very well aligned with Portland itself. Sit on a live edge bench! Enjoy a marshmallow stick. Stare at the luxurious wallpaper. But don't let these things deter you from the epic coffee experience that awaits you. Subtly smooth, adequately bold and flavors aplenty... all served with a smile. The staff is incredibly friendly. My drink was even delivered my table by the barista! The bathroom is clean and parking is available on the street. They have all the classics and then some. There were aromas of homemade chai permeating the space as I sipped my coffee. This is an experience that can't be boiled down to 'just coffee.' It's not just another errand when you're in NW either. It's the kind of place where a random stranger next to you says aloud that 'this is the best coffee in Portland' as you walk by. And they mean it. One of my favorite coffee experiences of the year so far. It's memorable on many levels, and the atmosphere aligns so well with the vibrancy of our city. You owe it to yourself, and to maintaining the true spirit of Portland, to stop in, stay and sip a while. There's no better way to identify with Sterling than through firsthand experience. See you there soon.

Seating is limited but if you can snag a seat inside, you can hear their music - they have a record player and my mom loved the jpop old album from the 70s/80s that they had on today. Staff is awesome and friendly. I love this spot and wish they had longer hours in the afternoon for shaved ice.

My first coffee shop on a small tour in Portland and Bend. My wife and the family were starving…read moreafter our flight from Dallas, so I dropped them at nearby Bamboo Sushi (highly recommended) and I'd catch up with them after a couple of espressos. I chatted with the barista, he was super nice and had some time to chat, so talked coffee and what they were brewing, which was the house blend and a single origin, I asked for one of each. The single origin was light and fruity as I'd expect, nice acidity and a crisp finish, whereas the house blend, their Deviation Blend, had a stronger body and less acidity, but still managed to get in some good notes of dried fruit and a nutty flavor. Both were perfectly pulled, with nary a bitter or sour note to be found. All in all, a great little quick trip for coffee, a place I'd definitely go to again.

I would definitely come back here the next time I visit!

I was looking for a specialty coffee to help power through some extra work on a Friday when I…read morehappened to come across this café. The menu looked intriguing, so we decided to give it a try. The café itself is airy, bright, and beautifully decorated with l blue accents. It's also in a convenient location with street parking, making it an easy place to stop for coffee at most times during the day. There was only one person working, which meant the wait was a little longer than expected since a few people were ahead of us. it was clear they were working as quickly as they could, and they handled the rush well. I ordered the Black Sesame Latte, while my husband went with the Lavender Sea Salt Foam Latte. Both drinks were enjoyable, but neither completely lived up to their potential. I could taste subtle notes of black sesame, but the flavor was so restrained that it never really became the star of the drink. I was hoping for a much bolder, nuttier profile. The lavender latte fared better and floral notes came through nicely, and the sea salt foam was well executed. At $8-9 per drink, though, I expected a little more. With so many excellent specialty coffee shops in the Portland and Beaverton area, the competition is tough. They have creative ideas and unique flavor combinations, but I think the execution could be stronger to truly stand out.

I was a loyal, regular customer across several Roseline locations until June 13th, when I was…read morebanned from all locations by a barista named Celia. I had come in as a paying customer, sat quietly in the corner reading a book while waiting for my husband. Celia approached me and initiated a conversation, which escalated into her yelling at me and physically removing me from the premises, all while I remained calm throughout. This was corroborated by an independent customer who witnessed the incident and left their own 1-star review the following day. What followed was equally disappointing. I attempted to resolve this privately over the course of nearly six weeks through multiple channels -- their contact form, direct emails to hello@roselinecoffee.com, and direct outreach to ownership on LinkedIn. I received no response and was ultimately blocked without acknowledgment. A ban issued across all locations by a single staff member, stemming from a personal conflict she initiated, that goes unreviewed and unacknowledged by ownership, speaks volumes about the culture at Roseline. I genuinely loved this coffee shop and wanted nothing more than to resolve this privately. That opportunity was never extended to me.

In my opinion they have the best well balanced espresso latte in town. The bonus: they roast their own beans and you can buy them by the bag. I order a vanilla latte which is consistently delicious and never over sweetened. To me it's important to taste all ingredients equally: bold coffee, vanilla, and steamed milk. Other "coffee" shops have no consistency and tend to over steam the milk or add too much sweetener. The shop has a cozy, welcoming feel with plenty of seating. It's a great place to relax or get some work done. While the coffee is the main draw, they also offer a selection of tasty, locally-made pastries which are a great complement to the drinks. If you want a delicious latte every time, this is your place.

This is a frequent stop of mine when visiting Tillamook County and I have never been disappointed…read more The Cafe has an excellent assortment of baked goods, or so it appears to the eye. I say this because I tried the almond danish on my first visit and it is so delicately delicious I have never found a need to venture beyond that taste treat. I often get breakfast and then bring the pastry (which is huge) with me to nibble on, and put a smile on my face, all day - & it stays fresh! They have a limited lunch and breakfast menu. However, I find it has significant enough variety that me and my guests have never had a problem finding something to enjoy. I have had breakfast there, never lunch. I find what I have eaten reliably tasty, but it does not rock. For the food I would put it in the low 4 category, pastry an absolute 5. Coffee blows away the chain coffee shops and I find it very tasty, not bitter. They do all the fancy drinks and they execute the one I always get - cappuccino - extremely well. My one bit of advice is to ask for the coffee in a mug if you are having it to stay because otherwise it will be served to you in a paper cup. I find paper cups cramp the froth into a small area and ALSO blocks your nose from getting a good whiff of that awesome coffee smell. Smelling is a huge part of taste - so do not forget the ask - there is no up charge for the real mug. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating with variety in the indoor, ranging from a very large, family style, round table in the middle of the room, to bars at the windows and tables throughout - with plenty of spacing. The outdoor seating is behind the roastery and consists of wooden picnic tables. This is complimented with an extremely unique and , obviously, cared for garden with a variety of flowers and evergreens. Finally, the service. One orders at the counter where my only experience has been one of patience, informative and courteous order takers. You then find a seat or you can wait for your order at the counter. The coffee is prepared immediately and, I have found, the food is prepared efficiently. I have nothing but very positive interactions with staff. Do note that they have a drive up window as well. Located directly across from the Tillamook Creamery: extremely convenient if accessing the Coast thru Tillamook. All in, I would rate Five Rivers about a 4.5 - Enjoy the experience!
