Simple Local Coffee

Nicholas Bartell

Super cute, beautiful and warm coffee shop with great upper deck seating and nicely appointed lounge. The owner is amazingly friendly and the coffee tastes divine. This place is a real treat.

This is a great coffee place near my work. The barista here is super friendly and quick with the drinks. I really enjoyed my iced matcha tea. They have a common area that you can sit and have a conversation at. This will be my go-to spot by work for future coffee meetings.

Lauren has been running this adorable coffee shop for ten years. She is a stylish perfection of Portland chic, without a hair out of place, while simultaneously baking raspberry croissants (the real thing), pulling fast perfect lattes with a line out the door, and engaging in welcoming conversation. In the middle of this multitasking mastery, I asked her for honesty of the downtown revival. She thinks that we are turning a corner but did mention a few incidents- including someone throwing a beer on her while she was pulling espresso shots. My recommendation is skip the marvelous Stumptown to give this place a whirl. My latte was light roasted deliciousness surrounded by historic masonry and layered timber - How Portland is that?
