The Best Coffee Shops in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Having once been a coffee kiosk around the corner from its permanent location, Sterling Coffee Roasters has been a stalwart of this Alphabet District nook since 2009. The neighborly cafe’s elegant yet homey interior serves as the backdrop for employees and regulars to catch up over a range of light-roast single origins or heartier blends. Those seeking something specific to Sterling can try an espresso flight or the chai, bolstered with house-made syrup. Sterling’s shelves are stacked with plenty of merch and brewing accessories to use at home." - Paolo Bicchieri
