14 Best Coffee Shops in Portland, OR | Condé Nast Traveler

"Water Avenue is a lively café with people coming and going, mellow rock playing, and coffee that's taken seriously. (To wit: There are Chemex coffeemakers and Hario kettles behind the counter, and roaster Matt Milletto helped found the barista school next door.) A daily Chemex menu suggests the three best roasts to try out via Chemex, though you might also try the perfectly made latte, topped with skillfully executed rosettas. You can also get a reliably delicious breakfast and lunch here. The options—avo toast, yogurt with cacao nib granola, and a few different kinds of bowls—skew simple and vegetable-heavy." - Hannah Wallace
