"If there is a platonic ideal of a Portland neighborhood coffee shop, Extracto comes uncannily close. Roomy but intimate, relaxed but often bustling, Extracto eschews preciousness while roasting and brewing some of the region’s best coffee. Hunker down with a good book near a window, or marvel at the 1951-vintage cast iron Probat roaster at work in the back room. Patio seating out front and in back will fill up quickly on warm days." - Nathan Williams
