IN JOY COFFEE

21 Distinctive Portland Cafes That Roast Their Own Coffee

"Also known as In Joy, this café on the Southwest Park Blocks downtown is frequented by the students of Portland State University and other locals for its meticulous approach to the science of coffee brewing. Owner Wenbo Yang’s many certifications of coffee excellence are posted along the walls of this otherwise humble space, including his status as a Q Arabica Grader, Certified Golden Cup Technician, Authorized SCA trainer, and first-place winner of the 2020 U.S. Roasters Championship and 2023 Brewers Cup. Super Joy has a sibling at the roasting-cafe facility on nearby Southwest Yamhill; both serve drinks with beans mostly sourced from Asia and latte ingredients like osthmanthus, soy sauce, and taro." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams
