Portland chill.You walk in and it's a full house folks tucked into corners working on laptops, sketching in notebooks, probably writing the next great novel or at least pretending to. It's got that artsy, lived-in soul where nobody's in a rush, and somehow that makes your coffee taste better. The seating situation? Dialed in. Comfy couches you can sink into, solid chairs if you've got work to do, plenty of tables, and even outdoor seating when the weather decides to cooperate. It's the kind of place you come for one cup and end up staying for three. Now let's talk about the move: cold brew with a thick splash of half and half. I'm telling you that right there is the ticket. Smooth, rich, and it hits just right, especially on one of those perfect spring days where the sun finally shows its face in Portland. Simple put this place isn't just good coffee. It's the whole vibe. Highly recommend.

One of the first things I appreciated was how easy it was to find free street parking in the morning. As soon as I walked in, the place had a cozy, homey feel. There were plenty of tables to choose from, including bar seating by the windows, which was perfect for me for getting some work done while people watching. I ordered a latte and the avocado toast, and both were absolutely delicious. I can definitely see why this is such a popular spot for studying and working. It has a comfortable atmosphere, good food, and great coffee, everything you need to be productive. I'd happily come back the next time I need a change of scenery.

Though there are references to community services like job training and a food pantry, the space has a very ecumenical vibe. There are multiple seating areas throughout the building, with a wide variety of seating options. Visitors will find comfortable benches, pews, stools at bars throughout the building, as well as comfy upholstered chairs. There is also a large covered patio with plenty of outdoor seating that appears to be very dog-friendly. The coffee shop offers a wide variety of drinks and food, including delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Unfortunately, there was only one gluten free item that was displayed in a case touching items containing gluten. The staff are courteous and prompt, and offered suggestions when asked. I'm happy to finally visit this coffee shop, and will likely invite friends to meet me here in the future. It's a comfortable, inviting and well-lighted space.

It's super cute, has plenty of parking, and the seating area is calm, relaxing, and cozy. I decided to try the Real Maple Syrup Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. The espresso shots were smooth--not burnt at all--and the maple syrup was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just the way I like it! If you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a cozy spot to enjoy a great cup of coffee, I definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll be back 100%! Staff 10/10! Friendly and made an excellent cup of joe!

As I placed my order the options were in front of me along with food options. I settled down and got a latte with hazelnut and a bagel with cream cheese. I had looked in the back area to sit but I realized it was subtle outdoor seating. Kinda cute but I'm from Hawaii so I was honestly too cold. I underestimated the table I sat on, I assumed my binder was going to take up the entire space, but I actually had space for my food, coffee, binder and my laptop. While doing my homework there were other people getting things done along side parents planning their kids spring break. A lot of customers that came in seemed familiar and happy going inside and chatting with the two gals handling the bar. It felt like I was watching an episode of some sort of show for a second sort of like "how I met your mother. " Great vibes, nice workers, good and affordable coffee with affordable food, like, seriously affordable. I've seen bagels cost $7 where I'm from and that's without cream cheese. Haha.

Now that you're (ahem) middle-aged, you'll probably head to bed much sooner, but in the meantime, whip that laptop out, drink delicious house-infused coffees etc, and spend roughly $74,974 on cool stickers.

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.
