"Proud Mary Coffee may hail from Australia, but it has solidified its status as a Portland go-to when visiting the Alberta neighborhood. Coffee drinkers shopping for beans to take home can choose between roasts described as “mild, wild, curious, and deluxe,” ranging from geshas to blends to single origin roasts. At the cafe, milk drink aficionados can find things like flat whites, piccolos, and mochas; black coffee lovers will find a full slate of V60 pour-over options, ranging from Cup of Excellence selections to 96-hour anaerobic catuai. There will always be an affordable drip coffee and at least two highly sought-after gesha options on the pour-over menu, a luxury coffee variety typically offered at a high price. It’s not uncommon to walk up to Proud Mary on a random Tuesday morning and find it jam-packed with urban brunch enthusiasts seeking an elevated avocado toast or a potato hash doused in bagna cauda." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams
