Revolucion Coffee House

Walked in and was greeted immediately, very nice staff. The wall of iconic revolutionaries is awesome, they have a small table area, a lounging area, and a high seating with a bar area. It's all in a compact room but it doesn't feel cramped. Also this almond horchata latte was amazing. Gave me some memories of being in Guatemala.

Great little coffee shop right in downtown, close to Portland State University campus. The South American take on coffee drinks is a wonderful flare that makes this coffee shop stand out among the hundreds. Hot drinks are flavourful, spicy and crafted with great care and passion. Food is quick to come out and is pretty tasty. Prices of everything are what you would expect of a downtown coffee shop. Nothing really cheap, but you can still get out with a drink and a quick bite for about ten bucks. There are a few tables and some lounge space, but overall the seating here is limited. You need to be comfortable with squeezing in where there is a seat or go during the slower hours. Extra props for the friendliness of the folks who run this place and for the eclectic music choices. This place is a must-visit if you're in the area and up for something beyond your standard Starbucks venti foamy whatever.

Tamales de mole, chile verde and Blueberry?! Why not. Champurrado, Mexican hot chocolate and café, and the usual American stuff. Quaint and clean, seems a favorite of the working folk in the area, we were visiting the city for a week and accidentally found this place when getting of the bus. Simple, quick stop with a few surprising Mexican items reminiscent of grandma's kitchen . Shop keeper (maybe owner) looks like Frida Khalo. Not sure if intentional or coincidental but pleasant nonetheless.

Friendly staff and quick service. Not your traditional empanada dough (they use more of a croissant dough which is more moist but a lot more flakey) but the spinach & potato is full of flavor. Their horchata is a little too sweet for me even with a shot of espresso, but great staff and a quiet, cozy place to get some work done for an hour.
