21 Distinctive Portland Cafes That Roast Their Own Coffee
"A few blocks away from the namesake iconic gothic arches of the St. Johns Bridge, Cathedral Coffee is always bustling thanks to its expansive seating and floor-to-ceiling windows, which invite remote workers and students from the nearby University of Portland to spend hours relaxing and catching up on tasks. Cathedral started roasting coffee in May 2022, offering a wide array of single-origin roasts with approachable names like Honey Melon (a floral Ethiopian) and Fruit Punch (a sweet Colombian). It all gets roasted out of the warehouse in St. Helens near the second café location in Scappoose, where the team bakes pastries for both cafes. It’s not uncommon to see the savory foldovers — a doughier panini riff — or a hearty quiche stuffed with bacon and roasted parsnips, sold out by noon." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams
