The merch is charming. I got a $35 Barista tshirt no sales tax. The counter person folded it nicely. Tote bags are $40. There's also tumblers available. I would have bought one if I didn't have a travel bottle already. The ambiance inside was nice to enjoy a coffee or donut. I got the 8oz Horchata Mocha. The Horchata was overpowering at first but it grew on me. It's the perfect travel size drink. They have an assortment of coffee beans for purchase or donuts. The menu is simple so you don't feel overwhelmed by options.

Early in the morning the coffee shop was pretty busy, especially as stores were not opened yet. As it was my first time in the shop it took me awhile to process the menu- this is definitely a coffee focus place (not for tea drinkers). And the focus seems to be on more coffee forward drinks, rather than jacked up with sugar and other stuff like Starbucks. Coffee prices are inline with other coffee stores in the area. As for seating, the shop provides tables seating. Plus there is a nice coffee bar at the windows, which is perfect for people watching. Plus there is a small coffee bar that faces the barista if you want to watch drinks being made. Parking can be tough in this area as the main shopping street....parking is on the street and off the main street.

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.

The citrus flavor was perfectly balanced and not overpowering, but present enough to give each sip a subtle, refreshing orange cardamom note that complemented the coffee beautifully. It's the kind of drink I'd come back for.

The space feels cozy, welcoming, and full of personality. I especially loved the little post-it wall where customers can leave behind anything they want a small detail that makes the café feel even more personal and community-driven. What I ordered: Soft Cream Matcha One of the creamiest matchas I've ever had! The soft cream was incredibly fluffy and smooth, while the matcha itself was bold enough to come through with every sip and also had a coconuty essence to it. It had just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. If you love a rich, creamy matcha, this is definitely one to try. Es-Yen A classic Thai-style iced coffee made with condensed milk. This was strong, sweet, and definitely had that much-needed wake-me-up effect! The condensed milk gave it a creamy sweetness while still allowing the bold coffee flavor to shine through. It was the perfect balance of sweet and strong exactly what I needed. Buttered & Sweetened Condensed Milk Toast I originally had my eye on the pandan toast, but it's clearly a popular choice because it was already sold out earlier in the day! So I went with the buttered and sweetened condensed milk toast instead, and I'm so glad I did. The toast was crispy on the outside, buttery, warm, and finished with that sweet condensed milk flavor. Every bite practically melted in my mouth. The pandan toast is definitely on my list for next time! My Portland experience was made even better by my stop at Kaleido Coffee. The owners were so sweet and welcoming, taking the time to give me recommendations and making sure everyone was taken care of even during a busy rush. Until next time, Portland!

I like my coffee sweet so this was right up my ally. I also got a cookie and brownie. When you heat up the cookie and brownie a bit, it's a little taste of heaven!

I could literally tell the muffin was fresh because it was warm. And let me tell you, it was one of the best muffins I've ever had. It was light and fluffy and had fresh raspberries in it. I also got a browned butter pistachio cookie that was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. I ordered the Cascadia latte, which is a mix of pine, sage & ginger. I was so curious if it was going to be good and willing to dive right in because I've never had anything like it. It was delightful. I'd go back for a muffin and a coffee next time I'm in the area. There was even a cute little seating area available.

I would come back for the space, but I would order something different next time. ------ This Prince Coffee location is really cute. The ambiance and seating area are aesthetically pleasing, with a bright, airy, and light-colored atmosphere. Ordering was quick and easy, and the drinks came out fairly fast. I visited on a weekend, and because it was raining outside, indoor seating was pretty limited. I was excited to try the drinks, but unfortunately, there was something a little off with the flavor profiles of the ones I ordered. 1. Coconut Jasmine Lemonade: This tasted pretty good overall, but I could barely taste the jasmine since the lemonade dominated most of the drink. The drink also seemed to coagulate a bit, which left behind an unusual texture. 2. Guava Coconut Matcha: This drink was okay, but I was not entirely sure that the matcha and guava complemented each other well. The flavors did not feel as balanced as I was hoping. Overall, I would come back because the cafe has a great ambiance and location. However, I would probably steer away from the drinks I ordered and try something else next time.
