The vibes were great, staff were nice, and everything was tasty. Unfortunately, though, I have to…read morerate this down because my husband and I both had allergic reactions to something (we're both allergic to nuts). We're not sure what it was, it could have been the morning bun so I asked a barista. The pastries have some allergen information in the placards but when I get an allergic reaction, I want to make sure and ask. They looked through the ingredients list/binder and they couldn't find the ingredients for the morning bun. Luckily, my husband and my allergies are pretty mild, but this seems pretty dangerous. If you have any kind of allergy, I don't think this is the place for you.

Went here with my boyfriend on a sunny Wednesday, and honestly, it was such a vibe. The moment we…read morewalked in, we were greeted by the coziest atmosphere -- sunshine spilling through the windows, soft music in the background, and that perfect mix of coffee and comfort in the air. The baristas were super friendly and made our drinks with care (you can tell they love what they do). I got an iced dirty chai that was chef's kiss -- smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. My boyfriend ordered a simple black coffee, and he was impressed by how bold and fresh it tasted. We sat outside for a while, soaking in the weather and people-watching, and it felt like the perfect little midweek escape. Definitely one of those local gems you can't help but come back to -- chill, creative, and full of good energy.

Every bite of this thing was sensory overload and flat out perfection. The meat quality was pristine and savory with the right amount of each ingredient. The vibe is so relaxing inside and it was such a treat to enjoy this sandwich for lunch which brought back the mouth feel of a Italian Godfather sandwich that I used to enjoy as a child in the Bay Area. Polite and mellow staff. Please support the GOATS of PDX sandwich bliss. Will be here monthly. Straight fire.

We had the the flight of coffee/lattes for $12 which is a great price for small lattes. Tried out the pandan, white coffee and black sesame. My favorite was the white coffee. We also had croffles which were also good! Would definitely recommend!

Very cute addition to Ding Tea! The shop itself is Ding Tea, but they also make Vietnamese Coffee,…read morehence, the name "Saigonesso". There are plenty of tables and chairs inside. They have a cloud coffee menu and a typical Vietnamese coffee menu, but I was looking forward to their coffee flight! I had seen it on Instagram, and decided that was what we were trying. For $12, you get to choose three of the coffee drinks you wanted. They come in their proper espresso shot sizes, and they are strong! We decided to try their pandan, latte, and black sesame. As stated, these drinks are strong and their flavors or cloud tops aren't overpowering. The cups they come in are super cute and have a Vespa on it! We also ordered their mango sticky rice Croffle and a banana cream Croffle. It's very cheap and worth the price! For $7, you get a super hot Croffle with delicious toppings. My fiancé loved their mango sticky rice - very authentic. I loved their bananas especially since it was caramelized The service was quick, too, being that they only had one worker! It was definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend it for coffee!

First time at Heart today. I ordered an oat milk cardamom latte and my sister had cold brew. I was…read moreglad they had plant milk but was disappointing the only choice was oat. I prefer soy as it steams better IMHO and oat can make me feel a little ill. Still, the coffee was pretty good. Not amazing but I drank it with enjoyment. I asked about food but they were sold out of all pastries. The interior was fairly quiet - there was chill music playing and the decor was fairly sparse. This made for a mentally relaxing cafe experience. They have tables for 2 or 4, with a request to reserve the large tables for groups of 3+. They do not have WiFi. The place was not busy while there - the cold brew showed up very quickly, the latte took longer but it was a reasonable time. The bathrooms are shared with other businesses (like a yoga place) and were clean and quiet, also. Overall, it's decent. The quiet atmosphere bumps it from 3 to 4 that the coffee alone might have merited.

Heart is a great place to go if you get overwhelmed easily…read more $12 for an iced latte and scone. Not the worst I've seen. Their simple decor and non complicated menu options makes it hard to feel overwhelmed. I came in 20 minutes after they opened at 7 am. I was greeted by a solo barista who had a grounding and pleasant presence. I got a cardamom latte with oat milk and based on the cardamom taste alone, I'm going to assume it was house made syrup. Very sweet and fragrant, and not overpowering. The espresso had a nice toasted taste that complimented the drink. The espresso gave me nice energy throughout the day and wasn't too acidic The pastry options are plentiful and all look well made. Their orange olive oil cake looked yummy but I opted for the lemon poppyseed scone as a safe choice. It was solid texture, not too soft and tasted more buttery as I ate it. Was also able to save some of it for later as it was filling. Parking wasn't the best as you have to turn left to residential, but it was easy to get a spot. They update their website on whether or not they have WiFi and they don't currently have it. It was a great drink that I would come again to get but I save my 5 star reviews for extraordinary beverages. I'm excited to try a matcha next time.

The staff here are unbelievably nice. So nice, in fact, that after grabbing breakfast here I felt…read morethe need to immediately leave a review, and that never happens. I ordered a breakfast panini with gf bread and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was perfect. I went with basic for the breakfast sandwich since it was right before they were closing - it was good, they got the bread very crispy which, if you have to eat gluten free then you know it makes a huge difference. Next time I go I'm going to try one of their more unusual ones instead (this time I just did bacon/egg/cheese). The inside is very chill. They have a ton of art for sale, along with great stickers, and I even saw a zine, which takes me back. I wish I lived closer because this would definitely be a regular spot for me. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great spot to chill, with super nice people.

The flavor is very unique. A creamy thick egg foam with tiny chunks of minty chocolate and a strong hit of Vietnamese coffee is the perfect pick me up. Service was fast and nice.

LOVED this coffee shop!! So happy I stopped in while on my trip from Vegas to Portland…read more Portland has sooo many good coffee shops, but this one was definitely in its own category. They specialize in Vietnamese coffee, and my friend from Vietnam told me that this brand of coffee is actually the most famous in her home country, and I see why! The menu is very vast, they have food, pastries, and they have plenty of drink options hot/cold, coffee and non-coffee items. What was very interesting and actually a bit confusing was that they have several levels of their phin drip, I got whatever the cashier recommended, and it was very good! It was literally just a shot of drip coffee, yielded maybe less than 3oz of fluid, but it packed a punch of flavor and caffeine. If you're looking for a drink to sip, I would order something else since it's so tiny. But it was very picture worthy! The Vietnamese sea salt cream latte was perfect as well.

The babaganoush was smooth, smoky, and super flavorful without being too heavy. Portions were generous and everything came out fresh. It's one of those spots that feels consistently reliable when you're craving good Mediterranean food done right. Definitely a place I'd go back to for a casual but satisfying meal.
