Review Oracle Coffee Company - Portland

Googled this coffee shop. It did not disappoint. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and efficient. The coffee shop was clean, and the ambiance was comfortable. I was able to enjoy reading while sipping on my vanilla latte. I had a tasty blueberry muffin. I purchased an apricot scone and saved it for the next morning. It was still fresh and omg SO delicious! I look forward to visiting again.

Snow day in Portland so naturally everything shuts down. But the Oracle staff persevered to stay open for the neighborhood with quality 3rd wave coffee and tea (food was sold out). My wife and I found Oracle because we went on a walk and an afternoon espresso sounded good. The staff were really friendly and patient despite being on the tail end of one of their busiest days ever according to them. Pleasant neighborhood atmosphere for sure.

Good coffee. Great servers. The oat milk for the latte could have been better. To thin not enough body. Made the latte taste watery. But otherwise worth the visit on Christman eve morning

Very nice location, a quiet setting. I've been back in the Portland area for just over 2 years and this is the first cup of coffee I'm writing about because it's worth it. I got a latte and it was amazing. My first sip was a warm marshmallow of oat milk froth. The beans aren't burnt and the coffee is full-bodied. Just Yum! Oh, and no dairy served. I was skeptical, but I think I fell in love with oat milk.

Best single origin coffees in Portland! We come here every time we visit from Seattle. Their pour overs, drip coffees, and espresso drinks are all excellent! All vegan including pastries and bagels!

Nice place footsteps away from the Portland Streetcar stop. Nice solid wood tables and wooden bar. Very delicious drink complete with quality neat and tidy punk rock music playing on the speakers. Riding the streetcar there was super chill and relaxed, nice area to walk around in.

Good coffee, pleasant, friendly service, with a nice open and bright space. This coffeehouse is proudly non-dairy; the oat milk creamer was an acceptable alternative to dairy, even if the consistency and aesthetic of the cup was slightly sub-par.

Oracle was amazing! The coffee was perfection...so smooth and rich. The staff were kind and seemed chill and content to be there, which is hard to find these days. Really enjoyed my coffee and the whole vibe there.

They've got their coffee dialed in. I've had some wonky stuff at other good shops but they seem pretty dedicated to the craft here. Try the flapjack latte for something fun. And they aren't mean like some "serious" shops around here.

Solid little coffee shop with good tea and coffee! Atmosphere inside was laid back and business oriented. I would happily go back next time I’m in the area.

I live in the neighborhood and quickly became something of an Oracle regular. I find Oracle to be one of the top coffee shops in Portland despite doing my best to look past the convenience bias. More than one day I've gone across town and been disappointed, so don't make that mistake! Go to Oracle! I understand Oracle has some history as pre-COVID multi-roaster bar but I've mostly seen them carry Terrain these days. Terrain is based in Vancouver (and worth a trip!) and makes an all around great coffee. Try the single origin espresso! This also leads to some fairly novel offerings, like an excellent summer cold brew latte that I think is a cut above the competition. For me, the real stand-out specialty drink at Oracle is their mocha, which can be described as a "dark chocolate" mocha and is made with Kali Chocolate (that I think is from Oceania somewhere) and produces a rich, not-too-sweet treat with a really well developed coffee flavor. A lot of Oracle's competitors in Portland use Holy Kakow chocolate *syrup* which I find a bit lackluster in comparison, and that is among their closest competitors. Give it a try! Oracle also stocks seasonal treats from Shoofly Bakery (also worth a trip) that are all plant-based and with gluten free options. I find these treats excellent and Shoofly is probably my preferred bakery. They sell out quickly (too quickly for me!) and some of the options, especially the year-round cinnamon roll, I do think would satisfy a discerning omnivore. I love the scones! While I tend toward sweets, they have a lovely bagel selection as well, with a tasty plant-based cashew cream. It should go without saying, but I must add that all the Oracle baristas are friendly, exceedingly capable, and very helpful for clientele new to specialty coffee or plant-based shops. You will be well taken care of, and I think meeting them will brighten your day. It always brightens mine!

Great space! Very clean, modern and also very Portland. Not too cluttered and the tables aren't to close together. You can ell he owners spent a lot of time and energy on the space. Drink wise: I got an iced matcha. Pretty standard, but pretty good! (how creative or different can you get with a basic drink choice like that) It was a tad more expensive than some other places in town, but not by much. For me, the selling point is that several of the tables have outlets near them! Some don't, but some do. I am surprised by how many coffee shops don't have outlets. I love coming to coffee shops and doing work, although as a business owner I totally understand not wanting someone to pay for a $6 drink and camping out at a table for 6 hours on their computer. Overall, a great spot! Even though I don't live in this part of town, I can see myself coming back for the environment.

I always come here after my workout. All the baristas are nice. I don’t think I’ve encountered someone who wasn’t. Love their matcha.

Nice quiet coffee house with well crafted and delicious coffee. Really loved the calm and relaxing atmosphere it was a nice break in my day.

This place is beautiful. I really enjoy the consistent and clean design. As a coffee person, I was impressed by how many different coffees they had to offer. I went with the drip, which today was from Blueprint Coffee in St. Louis. Portland has many 'multi-roasters' like this shop that are very good, but Oracle stands apart from them in variety. Can't wait to spend more time here.

All vegan coffee shop with amazing bagels and coffee drinks. It is very aesthetic too.
