21 Distinctive Portland Cafes That Roast Their Own Coffee

"Proving the Venn diagram of sneakerheads and coffee obsessives has plenty of overlap, Deadstock serves bright, sweet house roasts with names like Fresh Prince and Slow Jamz, listed with flavor notes of “fruity pebbles” or “cinnamon toast.” The café has no posted menu, but patrons can order any of the coffeeshop standards here (with a sneaker-shaped stencil of cocoa powder if you ask nice). Warm weather specialties include Zero Chill, a blend of coffee and sweet tea, or the similar LeBronald Palmer, a blend of coffee, lemonade, and sweet tea. For more space to hang out and work, Concourse Coffee across the river is from the same owner and roaster, Ian Williams." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams
