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

"This hole-in-the-wall Old Town cafe has only a few places to sit, but that's not what you'll be focused on. One-of-a-kind Nikes hang from the walls, a hint that the owner is a sneakerhead (and former Nike shoe designer). The coffee, roasted by the owner, is good but not pretentious. There are also creative cold drinks like the LeBronald Palmer, a mix of coffee, sweet tea, and lemonade. (It's rumored to be LeBron's favorite drink.) There's no official menu, but you can ask for a piece of the Trap Cake, a pound cake–like butterscotch cake made by owner Ian Williams' mom." - Hannah Wallace
