Push X Pull

Checking out the Central Eastside aIndustrial District and went to Push X Pull (pronounced Push Pull). This place has been around for 6 years. They’re a little pricey but their one of the top rated coffee roaster in one of the best coffee cities in the country. First time trying. Got a bag of The Brixbreaker Nanolot beans (Nicaragua) and a bag of Julia Lina Reis (Brazil) plus an Apple Bobbin’ Jeans Latte

The employees have been very professional and nice every time, but the coffee is the highlight here. Every single time I’ve gotten coffee here it’s some of the best I’ve ever had. The blends are perfect in flavor, roast, and heat. Their cold brew is the strongest I’ve ever had and jacks me up all day. It’s always a special treat.

Just moved to the Portland area so I've been searching for a roaster, really love what I've been getting from these guys. I'm always seeking out shops that source more interesting beans and nowhere else in town have I found such interesting varieties. I'm currently brewing their yellow bourbon anaerobic from Brazil, so fruit-forward and sweet. So unique! As a coffee shop PUSH X PULL is also world-class, certainly among the upper crust of coffee shops. I'm a cappuccino drinker so I look for well-textured milk and an extraction that brings out the fruitiness and sweetness of coffee and their baristas always hit the mark. I like that they always tell me what is currently in their grinder. Anyway I'm a huge fan and hope that one day they open a location further east so I can visit more often!

Very hip cafe with a quiet atmosphere that's conducive to a focused work environment. Come here to drink coffee and use your laptop in peace; the bar comes highly recommended if your going solo, but for couples there's a cute booth corner with a shelf of cassettes to listen to, and if you have a big group and you need to have a meeting, they have a long table with lots of seating to accommodate your party.
