Generic coffee in US is a huge cup of coffee flavored water but it's not the case here. Herr you can try really delicious coffee. Forget about milky ones - try drip, pour over, cold brew or espresso!

Espresso drinks are, as they say, killer. Don't miss out on the fantastic cold brew. Say hi to Buddy, the shoppe's dog. Enjoy the Cali-inspired space.

Great coffee, delicious gelato, and delicious looking everything else. This place is quirky and cool and definitely a great stop for coffee and dessert and conversation!

Great espresso and the chocolate crackle cookie was on point. Wish I could've sampled even more desserts/pies/empanadas, everything looked bomb! Plus lots of pups and babes around for great vibe.

This and Grape + Bean make King St. The place to be. One of a kind space, sometimes hard to find seating though and the cortado is really small. + They serve Dangerously Delicious Pies

Free WiFi, really great artwork (always new, too!), amazing gelato (pomegranate basil... heaven), great espresso and food and some of the best people work here. My favorite place to chill in Old Town!

Back patio is great in warm weather. And the soy chai latte is phenomenal. Definitely coming back with a book or other leisurely reading material.

Order a tea and a slice of pie and sit at the bar. The baristas are always so friendly and willing to chat. Weekday nights are best to avoid the rush.

FREAKING AMAZING. Best gelato flavors. Ferrero Rocher. That is all. Try for yourself. Also cutest building award! 🙌

This is a cozy place in downtown to sit and read or work. They stock all the Stumptown canned drinks too which is great

Best place to get a coffee, espresso, tea, or hot drink in Old Town. Coolest atmosphere.

Note to people who are allergic to pets... They allow dogs+ indoors. As much as I love them, I don't want to sneeze my way through a work/study session. And the dog fights are distracting too.

The back is this place is awesome. Feels like home, the music it's a tiny bit loud sometimes, they have a great patio. Wi-Fi and great great local art!!!

This is where you get heavenly espresso drinks. My vote is a cappuccino or latte - keep it simple and do NOT add sugar or flavorings. Enjoy.
Lisa MSeptember 1, 2014
Fun and artsy spot, great coffee! Simple beverages and a nice selection of gluten free pastries and pre made food options.

If you like peanut butter & chocolate in one dish, the peanut butter chess pie is ORGASMIC

Cava on Friday and Saturday nights open my nights apparently are on Sundays but I haven’t been yet so you have to check it out for yourself

Salted Caramel and there is no X espresso! Try the Crazy F'ing Chocolate gelato and Dangerously Delicious pies.

Great coffee, tea, and gelato. Tea happy hour gets you cheap tea early in the day!

A great portland Oregon cozy feel to it! Very chill environment and great staff!!! You are going to love it here!

Great drinks and food but when it is a single person who is taking orders, making drinks, serving food and cleaning up the line moves sooooooo slow. I don't get why this is a "thing" at coffee shops.
Jackie de HaanJuly 3, 2015
their iced green tea tastes a lot like water. I understand the pies aren't fresh but my chicken pot pie was warmed in a microwave (not even a toaster oven) and I could've done that at home

White chocolate raspberry is good. This place is hip and modern, with a touch of rustic hipster.
Charlotte S.January 5, 2013
Friendliest staff, killer E, S, and P, comfy leather couches, fun art, and bathroom is a must to visit!

The Stumptown coffee keeps me coming back. Makes me feel like I've traveled to Portland for a good latte.
Brionne GriffinSeptember 20, 2014
Excellent chai! Also a slice of the apple crumb pie is a must.
Sarah PJanuary 4, 2016
Coffee and gelato are great here. Good spot to study or just meet with a friend.

Sugar craving? The gluten-free macarons are awesome! Loved the rose and lemon flavors.

Macarons! Empanadas! Great coffee! Fantastic place to hang out and get some work done.

The pannacotta gelato served affogato may be one of the best things on earth. Heavenly.

Skip all the other coffee shops and head straight here. Only coffee place worth it innokd town.

The service here is awesome and coffee sleeves are cool.
Reagan BarbosaJanuary 22, 2017
I had heard good things about Dangerously Delicious Pies, so I was excited to try them here. Underwhelmed. Wouldn't come back for them. The gelato was grainy rather than smooth. Overrated spot.
sanchelle charlesDecember 12, 2015
Pull pork quiche is amazing :) so are the expressos!!
Ernie and Dora HiersSeptember 6, 2015
Can't go wrong with BBQ pie for breakfast
Nove ZnackyDecember 24, 2014
Flat white. Stumptown coffee. Great service. What's not to love

Get their ice latte with killer mocha flavor
Sara SchwartzApril 29, 2014
This place is so hipster I just grew a beard. Try the Nutella banana things, ask for them to be warmed up.
Stephenie BrownApril 10, 2013
Brooklyn Bomb pie is really the bomb! Sweet but not toothache sweet.
