Tips from locals
This part of Portland seems to be particularly gentrified (Starbucks, West Elm, etc...), so it's nice to see a quality local business providing great coffee
If excellent coffee is your thing, go to the #1 "Small Coffee Shop" in the US as ranked by CNN Money in 2011. This is a local favorite and the beans are roasted just north of Portland.
They just serve great coffee here, if you need a caffeine kick while you are downtown check this place out.
The BEST cold brew in the city! Try the Nitro Cold Brew and you are in for a treat!
