I met a friend here for coffee mainly because of the location, and neither of us had been here before. It was a bright, warm spot to take refuge from the rain!
It's a cute coffee shop that's not too small but not too large. There's one medium-sized open space with lots of 2- and 4- seat tables around the edges along the walls and the windows, and one large communal table in the center.
I just got a mocha with oat milk and a butter croissant. Both were wonderful. But then after we sat down I saw someone bringing out these plates of gorgeous food that smelled amazing. Definitely going to try one of the hot breakfast plates next time!! They looked so delicious.
Service is nice (very kind people!), moves at a good pace, and the prices are reasonable.
When we were there mid-morning on a weekday, the customers were a mix of business meetings, adults meeting up with friends, and some families. The noise level was manageable and it was easy to hold a conversation here without feeling like we were competing with the music or other people, as I feel like we do in some other coffee shops.
Street parking isn't as difficult to find here usually. I found a parking spot right across the street and my friend found one just around the corner.
Glad to have another coffee shop in PDX to add to my coffee chat spots!
